    Who killed the milkfish?
    Cardinoza, Gabriel (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2011-06-08)
    They're stubborn. These are the words of Nestor Domenden, regional director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) when asked why fishkills have been a recurring nightmare in Bolinao and Anda towns in western Pangasinan in the last 10 years. “They (milkfish growers) know where their fishing structures should be built, but they continued to disregard it,” Domenden says. A report from the office of the provincial agriculturist in Lingayen shows that 72 of the 75 fishkill-hit cages were built in the waters off Catubig Point in Barangay Tara up to Barangay Culang in Bolinao, while the rest, mostly bamboo pens, dotted the fishing area from Barangay Mal-ong to Barangay Awag and across the Kakiputan Channel to the island village of Siapar in Anda.

    La Union board declares calamity state to deal with oil spill
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2013-03-01)
    The provincial board of La Union has declared the province under a state of calamity to enable towns affected by the oil spill supposedly from a sunken vessel or another ship to tap their calamity funds for cleanup operations. La Union Gov. Manuel Ortega said communities, various agencies and nongovernment organizations have been collaborating to remove chunks of hardened oil that have been spotted on La Union beaches. Many believe the oil sludge came from the Myanmar vessel MV Harita Bauxite, which sank off Bolinao town in Pangasinan last week. Others suspect it came from an unidentified cargo vessel, which docked near Bangar town in La Union, on Sunday.

    BFAR assures enough supply of bangus amid Pangasinan fishkill
    (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2018-06-08)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in the Ilocos region has assured that there is an ample supply of milkfish (bangus) for the region and other regions, despite the recent fishkill in the towns of Anda and Bolinao. BFAR Regional Director Nestor Domenden, in an interview during a fisheries forum on Wednesday, revealed that less than 1 percent of the region's total production for the year was lost due the fishkill. Domenden said the region is self-sufficient in bangus production and can continue supplying the needs of other areas, including Metro Manila, as the region is 127 percent sufficiency.
