    Rice and fish
    Chanco, Boo (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-11-16)
    There was this story of a school girl whose baon every school day was a cup of rice sprinkled with patis or fish sauce. That was all her parents could afford, the story on social media said. The basic Filipino diet is rice and fish. Fish and fish products provide the bulk of protein for more than half of all Filipinos when they eat. Galunggong or scad was the poor man’s fish when I was growing up. But today, the poor can no longer afford galunggong. It is now imported.

    Gov’t to ban galunggong fishing in Palawan
    (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2013-04-24)
    Fishing of galunggong (round scad) in northern Palawan will be temporarily banned in the meantime that the government carries out a study on the species’ spawning period. In a statement, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) yesterday said: “the government is looking at Northern Palawan as the area of study where closed season for galunggong will be implemented either in the last quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2014.” BFAR Director Asis G. Perez, in the statement, said declaring a closed season for sardines to let the species spawn had been very effective, and a similar measure would work for galunggong -- known as “poor man’s fish” -- whose price has risen due to falling catch.
