Participating agencies and partners include:
- Philippine Coast Guard

The collaborative meeting focused on safety protocols, boat coordination, communication systems, emergency response readiness, and environmental responsibility. With multiple agencies working together, the tournament will prioritize participant safety while maintaining the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that defines traditional fishing events.
The Mel Ramirez’ Fishing Tournament is envisioned as a tribute to fathers, mentors, and anglers who pass down the values of patience, resilience, and respect for the sea. Families are encouraged to participate, cheer, and enjoy a morning of camaraderie, storytelling, and friendly competition.
