Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology wishes the best of luck to Jhon Raymund R. Galanay, a fourth year student from the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries program, one of the Top 6 finalists of the Youth Spark for Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) in the Philippines!

Jhon Raymund will compete and bring his ideas and advocacy to the Policy Pitch Round of the Third Philippine Small-Scale Fisheries National Symposium (PSSFNS 3) on 21–23 October 2026 at Batangas State University–Pablo Borbon Campus, Batangas City. His essay highlights the often-overlooked contributions of women in small-scale fisheries and the importance of recognizing, empowering, and supporting them in building sustainable and resilient fishing communities.

Join us in supporting Jhon Raymund R. Galanay as he takes his idea from the page to the national pitch stage!
