00:00The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources will continue to implement programs

00:05to help increase the production of fisheries in the country.

00:09This is after the data on fishing is decreasing,

00:13particularly in the West Philippine Sea.

00:15Clayzel Pardilla has a report.

00:20The sinking of a Chinese warship

00:23into two ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources

00:26during maritime patrols in the West Philippine Sea

00:30and the launch of a laser in the agency's airplane

00:33during the Domain Awareness flight last week

00:37are just a few of the incidents of chaos

00:41and invasion of China in the West Philippine Sea.

00:44According to BFAR,

00:46geopolitical tensions have already affected the production of fish in the West Philippine Sea.

00:51According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

00:54101,000 metric tons of fish were caught in the West Philippine Sea

00:59in the first six months of 2024,

01:02almost 7,000 metric tons less

01:05compared to 108,392 metric tons in the past year at the same time.

01:11Geopolitical situation,

01:13which we can say that's one of the reasons.

01:17There are also other reasons like the increase of fuel,

01:21and the ill-union that happened and affected the migration pattern of the fish.

01:29We don't intend to actually ignore this fact that the contribution of the West Philippine Sea

01:44to the overall production of our national production declined significantly.

01:48So we are taking that seriously.

01:51BFAR will look at the presence of Philippine seabed.

01:56A 50-meter steel multi-mission offshore vessel

02:00and a multi-purpose refrigerated cargo vessel

02:04worth Php 1.5 million will be purchased by BFAR.

02:08More than Php 665 million worth of boats

02:13and other fishing equipment

02:15will be under the Bids and Procurement of BFAR

02:19to be distributed to the Philippine Seabed Program.

02:23This will increase the capacity of fishermen in the West Philippine Sea.

02:28The government has exhausted all the necessary efforts to actually address the issue.

02:38We will not stop implementing programs that will be more helpful for our fishermen

02:44as far as improving our capacity in terms of monitoring, control, and surveillance.

02:50Aside from that, our other floating assets have multi-mission ports.

02:56We also want to use them for lifeboat development.

03:00Despite the situation in the West Philippine Sea,

03:04BFAR will ensure that

03:06the supply here in Metro Manila is sufficient

03:11and that it is not affected by the price.

03:15Taking into account that our country has a lot of fisheries,

03:20not just the marine sources of our fish,

03:26but also from aquaculture.

03:29In the last quarter of the year,

03:32the implementation of the Closed Fishing Season

03:35in Davao Gulf, Palawan, and other places in the country

03:39was expected to improve the number of fish.

03:42Although the local supply will be reduced,

03:46the arrival of imported fish approved by BFAR is expected.
