TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Philippines — Ten Vietnamese fishermen arrested last month for poaching in the waters off Cagayan were released on Thursday after paying a fine of P650,000.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)-Cagayan Valley director Milagros Morales said the boats of the Vietnamese fishermen – BD96821-TS and BD95115-TS – were confiscated.

Philippine Coast Guard and BFAR personnel intercepted the fishing boats off the coast of Calayan and Dalupiri Island in Aparri on June 1.
