EN: lift net fishing boat
Think of it as the floating BPO of the sea, working the night shift. It's a big fishing boat with outriggers and super bright lights that attract fish and squid like Pinoys to a new milk tea shop. The crew then lowers a huge net, scoops them up, and boom—ulam for tomorrow's market.
Possibly from a Visayan language.
A specific term used in the Philippine fishing industry, particularly in the Visayas region.
