In a radio interview, Nazario Briguer, BFAR Information and Fisherfolk Coordination Unit chief, said he had informed BFAR Officer in Charge Demosthenes Escoto on the developments in the Senate after Senators Raffy Tulfo and Mary Grace Poe questioned the move of the agency to crack down on pampano and salmon starting on Dec. 4, 2022.
