00:00 The price of fish has fallen in some families because it's the open fishing season again.
00:06 But BIFAR reminds us that the price could still rise in the coming days because of the demand.
00:12 That's what Bien Manalo reported.
00:14 Nonita Sarinas went to Navotas Public Market early to buy fish.
00:22 Aside from fish, Nonita is also waiting for the price of fish to fall from the port to be cheaper.
00:30 We can buy fish at a different price.
00:37 The new fish is fresh.
00:43 Irene is also doing various discounts to save money.
00:48 We have to save money because of the high price.
00:52 I'm budgeting for 500 pesos.
00:59 We buy 1 kilo of rice.
01:02 We eat 2 times a day.
01:06 I'm doing it in small portions because it's cheap.
01:13 The price of galunggong and dalagang bukid ranges from 150 to 180 pesos per kilo.
01:20 Bangus can be bought for 200 pesos per kilo.
01:24 The price of tuna and beef is 240 pesos per kilo.
01:30 Some fish sellers are also buying fish.
01:33 I'm buying small fish for them.
01:39 I'm not buying fish per kilo because the price of fish is still high.
01:44 Maybe by March, the price of fish will be lower.
01:47 Fresh fish is better because it's shiny and has clear eyes.
01:55 If the fish has red eyes, it's not fresh.
01:58 According to some fish sellers in Navotas Public Market,
02:02 the price of fish went down from 20 pesos to 50 pesos,
02:06 especially galunggong.
02:08 This is after BFI Kamakailan announced the price of galunggong to go down.
02:14 The supply of galunggong has increased.
02:17 According to the agency,
02:18 it's possible that the supply will increase as the heat comes closer.
02:22 This is followed by the end of the close season in some seas in the country.
02:28 Kamakailan also reopened the catchment of sardines in the Besayas Sea.
02:34 The fishing ban of sardines, mackerel, and tamban in Isulusi,
02:39 Basilan Strait, and Cebu Gay Bay in Zamboanga was lifted.
02:43 According to BIFAR,
02:44 galunggong can be bought for 100 to 230 pesos per kilo
02:50 from 200 to 330 pesos.
02:55 The agency admitted that the price of galunggong and other fish
03:00 has increased due to the increase in demand during the quarantine period.
03:05 Fish in the market, particularly galunggong,
03:08 can lower the price.
03:11 But we also need to consider that
03:15 the factor in the supply is not the only factor in lowering the price.
03:19 There are also contributory factors like fuel,
03:25 which, when it increases,
03:26 it really affects the price of the goods.
03:29 This is a situation where the government's control is limited
03:35 because it is a threat to the economy.
03:40 This is BN Manalo for Pambansang TV in the new Philippines.
