Abstract
Description
Excerpt
The closed fishing season should have been suspended by the Duterte administration instead of allowing fish importation by the Department of Agriculture (DA), Senator Cynthia Villar asserted on Monday. Villar, who chairs the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Agrarian Reform, questioned the DA’s decision to greenlight the importation of 60,000 metric tons of galunggong (round scad) and other fish varieties at the first quarter of the year.
