    Are there secrets hidden at our Navotas fishports?
    Romualdez-Valtos, Eliza (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2023-05-06)
    Living in a bungalow in Makati and often spending days when outside in traffic, it is very easy to forget just how close we are to the sea. When I was a newly minted married woman, my husband and I started our family in a condominium and every day, I got to see Manila Bay… and it was lovely. I could watch the waters shimmer under the sun as boats passed by and witness the beautiful sunset on the horizon. Having seen the sun’s descent to end each day in full glory, I could agree with my elders when, growing up, they would tell me there was nothing more beautiful than the sun setting on Manila Bay.

    Profiteers blamed for pricey fish
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2019-01-23)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has blamed profiteers and middlemen for the high prices of fish in the market. BFAR National Director Eduardo Gongona said the country had a “steady” supply of fish. “Our imported galunggong (round scad) has arrived in our fishing ports and bulk of these were already distributed to various markets. So why are prices still high? It’s mainly because of the middlemen or the in-between,” Gongona said.
