00:00In order to have sufficient supply of fish before the closed fishing season,

00:05the Department of Agriculture allowed the importation of 25,000 metric tons of fish.

00:11But that was threatened by some groups.

00:13And Bernadette Reyes was able to stop it.

00:1525,000 metric tons of fish were allowed by the Agriculture Department to be imported for the wet markets.

00:25According to Memorandum Order 17, small pelagic species such as galunggong, tamban, mackerel, and bonito can be imported.

00:32According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

00:35this will be prepared for the closed fishing season, which will be implemented from October 1 to December 31.

00:41The issuance of the order was made early because there are times when the arrival of fish is delayed.

00:48This will help stabilize the price during the closed fishing season

00:53because we know that there will be a gap in the supply due to the closure of our primary fishing grounds.

01:02The amount approved is lower now compared to 35,000 metric tons last year.

01:08Now that the fish supply is open during the open fishing season, the price is lower.

01:13Here in the Litex Market in Quezon City, each kilo of tamban is only P40.

01:18But during the closed fishing season, the price of tamban is increasing to reach P140 per kilo.

01:25As for galunggong,

01:27If it's expensive, it's P14. It can reach up to P14 per kilo.

01:30Right now, it's only P14.

01:32The imported ones are cheap.

01:34It's so cheap that I can only get P70.

01:38If there's no catch, there will be a lot of fish.

01:42For my daughter, it's a big help to us because that's all I can afford to buy.

01:49Retailers are hoping for imported fish in the Marikina Public Market during the closed fishing season.

01:55We only catch fish during October and December.

01:59There's no fresh fish during that time.

02:02We only catch fish during the season of P260.

02:04You only catch fish during the season of P240?

02:06Yes, P240.

02:08What's the retail price during that time?

02:10P280.

02:12But for the group of fishermen in Malacaya,

02:15there's no basis for importing fish,

02:17and they will have a negative impact on the local industry.

02:20If we have a shortage of supply,

02:25let's make a program so that we can reduce the possibility of a shortage of supply in our own production.

02:35Fishermen in Sorsogon and Ilocos Norte also agree.

02:39We will lose our fish.

02:41If we buy our fish here, it will be cheaper.

02:44The B4 does not see a negative effect on local fishermen

02:48as the importation of fish is far from being taken care of by the consumers

02:52through sufficient supply at affordable prices.

02:56During the closed fishing season,

02:58first of all, the municipal fisherfolk are not allowed to go fishing.

03:04It is not prohibited for our commercial fishing vessel operators to go fishing during the closed fishing season.

03:14Our aquaculture sector can also be assured that they will have sufficient volume to fill any gap.
