    BFAR-6 defends feed mill plant at SEAFDEC amid senator’s criticism
    Sornito, Ime (Panay News, Inc., 2025-01-21)
    Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 6 director Remia Aparri defended the agency’s decision to construct a P30-million feed mill plant within the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in Tigbauan, Iloilo, following a heated exchange with Sen. Cynthia Villar. During a Senate hearing on Senate Bill No. 2417, which proposes the establishment of a similar feed mill plant in Barangay Bahit, Panay, Capiz, Villar questioned BFAR’s rationale for situating the feed mill at SEAFDEC. The senator, who chairs the Senate Committee on Agriculture, expressed frustration over the decision, emphasizing that feed mills are intended to benefit local fishermen and should be constructed in areas accessible to local government units (LGUs).

    Low 'bangus' price alarms Pangasinan fish growers
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2024-06-25)
    Reeling from the continuous tumbling prices of farmed “bangus,” fish cage operators in Pangasinan sought the intervention of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and other concerned agencies to prevent the province’s multimillion-peso aquaculture industry from crashing. During a dialogue between bangus industry stakeholders and government agencies on June 21 at the National Fisheries Development Center here, growers of bangus (milkfish) said prices started to drop last February and is now at P90 to P110 per kilo. Last May, bangus, considered the country’s national fish, was still being sold in Pangasinan markets from P120 to P200 a kilo.
