    A fishers’ group rejected on Tuesday further construction of United States (US) military bases in the Philippines and accused Vice President Kamala Harris of aiming to anger China with her visit. The Armed Forces of the Philippines said that the US is looking into building Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement facilities in five more locations throughout the archipelago. These additional sites are seen to bolster security cooperation between the two countries and provide extra protection for the Philippines.
  • Fisherfolk warn of fake sardine shortage
    Marcelo, Elizabeth; Rivera, Danessa; Talavera, Catherine (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-09-07)
    Fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) has warned the government about a shortage of tamban or Indian sardines that is allegedly being “fabricated” by big fishing firms and canneries. In a press statement yesterday, Pamalakaya said the supposed low supply and output of tamban was just being made up by fishing firms and operators supposedly to increase the retail prices of canned sardines and to push for their vessels’ entry into municipal waters. “The BFAR (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) should remain vigilant against this fabricated tamban shortage that will only favor big fishing firms and operators over the interests of small fishers and consumers,” Pamalakaya national chairman Fernando Hicap said.
