  • Record fish unloading in major ports
    Miraflor, Madelaine B. (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2021-03-26)
    The implementation of stricter two-week quarantine measures in the Greater Manila Area has not affected supply of fish with the Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) reported of record high weekly fish unloading from March 16 to 23 period. The National Capital Region and nearby provinces are still under the general community quarantine (GCQ) status, but the government has reimposed stricter quarantine protocols from March 22 up to April 4 on due to surging COVID-19 cases in these areas. PFDA recorded the unloading of 5,533.76 metric tons (MT) of fish supply for consumers in the National Capital Region (NCR) and several areas in Central and South Luzon.
  • 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.
