3.2.1. Tuna in General Santos
The exposure value for General Santos is low (Table 6),
which indicates a low exposure to the impacts of climate change.
Out of the 25 local fishermen interviewed, 92% live in disaster-free
areas and 62% have disaster-free fishing grounds. These findings
are supported by the 50-year storm trajectory record of NOAA,
which shows that Mindanao, the region where the study sites are
located, has not experienced any tropical storm for more than five
decades
