00:00Some fishermen in the Department of Agriculture's plan to catch a ton of fish in October are getting nervous.
00:07Live from Paranaque, we have the first news.
00:09This is Bea Pinla.
00:11Bea?
00:17Ivan, the fishermen that we talked to here in Bulungan Fishport in Paranaque,
00:24they are afraid of the consequences if the fish importation continues in the next month.
00:34If the Filipinos want to starve, then they should do it.
00:39It's crazy.
00:40We caught a lot of fish.
00:42Let's catch more.
00:45Mang Dodong could not contain his anger
00:49In the Department of Agriculture's plan to catch 25,000 metric tons of fish in October,
00:56including Galunggong, Tamban, Macarel, and Bonito,
01:01some fishermen and groups are also getting nervous in this plan of the DA.
01:06They say that they will be the ones to suffer if the fish importation continues.
01:11Instead of being able to earn enough per day,
01:16it will be reduced.
01:18It's up to them.
01:20For us, we can only eat three times a day.
01:24We are happy.
01:25This is a big effect.
01:27Fresh fish cannot be bought.
01:30How much do you earn per day?
01:33It's low.
01:34According to the group, the price of fish is already low.
01:39It will be even lower if the imported fish enters the market.
01:43They call for a halt to the importation.
01:47The price of some fish in the market has increased.
01:50Galunggong is from P240 to P250.
01:54Now, it's P280 to P300 per kilo.
01:58Each kilo of mackerel is from P185 to P150.
02:04Yellowfin is from P180 to P200.
02:08Now, it's from P230 to P240.
02:12Some of the fish in the market that we talked to
02:15are only able to recover after the next typhoon in Merviso.
02:21Their new concern is that they might be affected again
02:25because of the planned importation of fish.
02:28If the price of fish goes down, we will go bankrupt.
02:32It's a big loss for us.
02:34I hope that the price of fish won't go up.
02:39Just like us here, let's not let others enter the market.
02:44Of course, the price will go down.
02:46It will be affected here.
02:49Yes, the price will go down.
02:52Because there are people who will enter the market.
02:53There are others who don't care about the importation,
02:57especially when the supply of some fish is not enough.
03:00It's better if we can import from others
03:02because it's cheaper to import from others.
03:06We will do our best to get permission from the DA.
03:13The effects of fish importation are different
03:17from fishermen to fishermen.
03:20The request of some fishermen that we talked to here
03:23is that instead of importing,
03:25they should help their daily livelihood.
03:30Here's the first news from Paranaque, Beopinla for GMA Integrated News.
03:55That's www.gmanews.tv.
