    Fish prices likely to go down in coming weeks - BFAR
    (Panay News, Inc., 2024-02-04)
    Fish prices are likely to go down in the coming weeks following the lifting of the closed fishing season for round scad (galungggong) in Northern Palawan, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). BFAR said it expects that this will result in a boost in supply for round scad in the local market. “‘Pag maraming klase ng isda na mapagpipilian sa palengke, marami ang supply, it would actually boil down to reduced price,” said BFAR chief public information officer Nazzer Briguera.

    Rice and fish
    Chanco, Boo (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-11-16)
    There was this story of a school girl whose baon every school day was a cup of rice sprinkled with patis or fish sauce. That was all her parents could afford, the story on social media said. The basic Filipino diet is rice and fish. Fish and fish products provide the bulk of protein for more than half of all Filipinos when they eat. Galunggong or scad was the poor man’s fish when I was growing up. But today, the poor can no longer afford galunggong. It is now imported.

    BFAR urged to lead fight vs HB 7853
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2021-04-30)
    Environmental group Oceana, along with more than 1,100 fisherfolk groups across the country, urged Department of Agriculture (DA) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to lead the opposition to House Bill 7853 that will allow commercial fishing operations in the country’s municipal waters. “We need to uphold the law and complete the implementation of reforms under the amended Fisheries Code,” the groups said in a joint statement that was sent to the author of the bill, Cebu Third District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, and members of the House of Representatives Committee on Aquaculture and Fisheries. “Instead of supporting the artisanal fisherfolk improve their capacity and efficiency in their fishing efforts that will improve their livelihood and rise above from hunger and malnutrition, they will open up the municipal water to commercial fishing operations. All the efforts to increase production in fisheries while improving the life and livelihood of municipal fisherfolk will lead to nothing,” they further said.
