    Pangasinan women find livelihood opportunities from milkfish processing
    Visperas, Eva (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2015-11-15)
    Milkfish processing business has become a profitable source of income for a group of women who used to spend their afternoons playing tong-its, enabling them to earn their first million pesos through sheer hardwork. But success didn’t come easy for the Binmaley (Pangasinan) Rural Improvement Club Seafood Products as it as it had its share of ups and downs. Milagros Buenafe, president of Binmaley, told The STAR she originally intended their livelihood project to encourage her fellow mothers to be productive, instead of spending their time playing card games like tong-its.

    Reef Alert
    (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-10-09)
    There is no way attention will be directed at the crying urgency of protecting the coral reefs unless we belabor the issue and repeat ourselves. At the rate coral reefs are being destroyed by human activity or damaged by bleaching due to global warming, it won’t be long before these “colorful gardens under the sea where marine life thrives” die off, never to be appreciated by future generations. Indeed, though the Philippines is “the richest place on earth” in terms of biodiversity, according to scientist Wilfredo Licuanan, he has warned that because of climate change, “we can lose our corals in a matter of weeks, not years.”

    Protest staged vs new fisheries policy
    Galvez, James Konstantin; Badilla, Nelson (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2015-09-03)
    Fisherfolk from different provinces trooped to Manila on Wednesday to hold one of several expected “fish holidays” as part of protest actions against the decision of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to implement the amended Republic Act 8550 or the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998. More than a thousand fishermen trooped to the Quirino Grandstand in Manila. The protesters came from Navotas, Malabon and the provinces of Bicol region, Masbate, Quezon, Marinduque, Pangasinan, and Cavite. BFAR Director lawyer Asis Perez said in an interview that the agency expects to finalize the Implementing rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Fisheries Code or Republic Act 8550 as amended by RA 10654 next week.
