    Importing galunggong will disadvantage 1.5M fisherfolk'
    (Panay News, Inc., 2018-09-01)
    The Department of Agriculture’s (DA) plan to import round scad, or galunggong every year will disadvantage some one and a half million small fisherfolk in the country, Sen. Cynthia Villar said. Villar, who chairs the Senate committee on agriculture and food, said imported galunggong will compete against the locally produced fish variety. “Kasi kapag nag-iimport tayo that is competition to our one and a half million fisherfolk in the municipal water na mahihirap,” she said on the sidelines of the 14th Agriculture and Fisheries Technology Forum in Mandaluyong City.

    Fishers group urges boycott of imported galunggong
    Cervantes, Ding (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2018-08-27)
    A group of fishermen yesterday vowed to campaign for a nationwide boycott of imported galunggong (round scad), insisting that while the imports are expected to cost less than local harvest, they are a health hazard. “We urge local vendors, consumers and fishers not to patronize the imported products as they are health hazards and are surely of poor quality. Instead, we will promote locally caught marine and aquatic products, which are not only good in quality but will also help boost the local fishing industry,” said Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya). The group contradicted the claims of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources that galunggong to be imported are “low in formaldehyde.”

    ‘No-nationality’ galunggong causes uproar over import plan
    Araneta, Macon Ramos (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2018-08-29)
    Round scad or “galunggong” do not have a “nationality,” and thus Filipinos should have no problems with this variety of fish that is imported from other countries to augment the local food supply, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said Tuesday. However, Senator Cynthia A. Villar exhorted the public not to eat galunggong—once regarded in the country as the poor man’s fish—as it could be laced with formalin or embalming fluid. In responding to critics of the government’s move to import galunggong, Piñol told ANC Headstart the Philippines has long imported many types of fish to augment its supply especially during the closed fishing season.
