Mayor Denver Chua conducted an inspection of the residential area in Barangay 62-A affected by the pervasive stench, while live-streaming the situation via Facebook.
Chua says the challenge lies in taking all the dead fish off the waters as soon as possible, as leaving them on the bay could cause bacterial proliferation that might lead to health problems among residents. (Video Courtesy of Mayor Denver Chua via FB)

00:00 I'm sorry to the people who are eating right now.
00:05 I just want to report what happened here in Kanyacao Bay, Cavite City,
00:12 where many dead fish have drowned.
00:16 We're here in Barangay 62A.
00:21 As of now, there are more than 30 bags of fish that have been cleaned.
00:30 But there are still thousands of fish here.
00:32 If you look at the bottom, there are still a lot of fish.
00:42 This is very dangerous because it's already smelly.
00:48 I'm wearing a face mask because it's already smelly here.
00:53 We have coordinated with our Coast Guard colleagues.
00:57 This is the troop.
00:59 The troop is now moving around.
01:01 There, this is it.
01:05 Our troops are now carrying the fish.
01:12 This is a big concern because here in Cavite City,
01:18 many people are drowning.
01:20 Hello!
01:21 If this kind of fish kill continues,
01:26 it will affect the livelihood of our people here in Cavite City.
01:31 That's why we're now double-checking to find out where these fish came from,
01:36 what was the cause,
01:38 and why there are thousands of dead fish in our area.
01:42 We have also coordinated with our CENRO office,
01:49 Maritime, and Coast Guard to help.
01:53 As you can see, this is our drone shot.
01:56 It's full of fish.
01:58 This is from the Philippine Navy side.
02:00 That's full of fish.
02:02 We have also coordinated with our colleagues from the Philippine Navy.
02:07 They are now mobilizing.
02:09 Many people are saying that this came from a fish pond.
02:17 Some are saying that it was a bomb or dynamite.
02:21 We will investigate this and we will not let this happen
02:24 because this will affect our people in Cavite City,
02:27 especially our people who live in the sea.
02:32 If this fish kill continues and it gets stuck in the sea,
02:36 it will become a bacteria and it will be harmful to other healthy fishes.
02:42 This is our concern right now.
02:45 Thank you.
