    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Wednesday said it was considering imposing a moratorium on the crackdown of imported frozen fish in wet markets amid criticisms that it was anti-poor. 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.

    (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2022-12-13)
    Senators slammed the apparent late action taken by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) against the illegal diversion of pink salmon and pampano to wet markets. Senators Raffy Tulfo and Cynthia Villar, at a Senate hearing, grilled the BFAR over the issue. BFAR officer-in-charge Demosthenes Escoto explained that the bureau had been implementing the Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) No. 195 since 1999. But they were prompted to reinforce this due to the prevalence of illegally diverted pampano and pink salmon to markets, GMA News reported.
