But what about us fishers?

On Saturday, 5 October, 13:30–17:00, the event But what about us fishers? by Balikbayan takes place at Moira, here in Utrecht. Featuring a photo exhibition by Mia Tengco, it focuses on Philippine fishers displaced by Manila Bay’s reclamation projects. The works emphasize their deep connection to the environment, highlighting the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental losses that accompany these developments. With Dutch dredging companies involved, the issue also raises questions of local responsibility. Organized by Balikbayan, the event reflects the group’s mission to critically explore Filipino history, heritage, and the interconnectedness of issues in the Philippines and the Netherlands.
