Angler target these species in a variety of ways which include trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, popping and even bait fishing. The fish in the picture below is a nice GT caught by Biboy in Palawan while Popping.
The larger GT are quite powerful and can quite easily destroy fishing gear that is not up for the challenge. For anglers targeting this species be sure you are using the right gear for the job. Text from: https://fishingthephilippines.com/category/trevally-talakitok/

“Palawan is one of the most pristine and remote corners of the Philippines, and the country’s largest province by territory. Three of us are on a week-long kayaking tour, slowly winding our way through the karst islets and immaculate beaches surrounding Busuanga Island, in the northernmost part of the province.
Every paddle stroke brings into view another coral reef and another school of colourful fish flashing through the water beneath our hulls. The sky stretches achingly clear and blue overhead.” Read more from: http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1788138/sea-kayaking-pristine-palawan-philippines

Cruise through the beautiful turquoise waters of Puerto Princesa in search of dolphins. Puerto Princesa is good locations for observing dolphins in the wild. Being at sea will allow you the closest encounter with these fascinating creatures. Dolphins are acrobatic and social mammals frequently bow riding and jumping out of the water. As they are wild animal’s sightings cannot be guaranteed, but you will have more chances if you travel between April and October. If you are lucky you might even get to see whale sharks!
