- PH seas running out of fish, says BFAR execSotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2015-11-07)More than a hundred fishermen, mostly from Pangasinan province, were out in the West Philippine Sea when Typhoon “Lando” (international name: Koppu) lashed Central and northern Luzon late last month.
