00:00The close fishing season for Galunggong is not yet starting, but its price has already increased in some markets in Metro Manila
00:07because of the sluggish supply.
00:09The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources explains in the report of Bernadette Reyes.
00:18In the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture in the families in Metro Manila,
00:22the price of Galunggong now reaches up to 300 pesos.
00:27But in our area, like in Galas Market, its price is up to 340 pesos per kilo.
00:32Before, it was only 300 to 80 pesos.
00:35It depends on the market. The prices are different.
00:39Maybe that's why it's so expensive.
00:41In Kamuning Market,
00:43In the retail market, the price of Galunggong now reaches up to 300 pesos.
00:47The price of Galunggong is a bit high now.
00:49It's almost 50 pesos higher than before.
00:53In the Litex Market in Quezon City,
00:54the sellers say that the supply of Galunggong is decreasing.
00:59It's hard to fish because of the sun.
01:01The fish prices are really high now.
01:03That's why in this market,
01:04other fish are being sold first.
01:07Galunggong is expensive.
01:08That's why we don't sell it.
01:10We sell tilapia and bangus.
01:12The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources said,
01:15In the long term, the fish can't survive.
01:18We can say that the supply is minimal but sufficient.
01:22When November 1 arrives,
01:24Galunggong cannot be caught in Northeastern Palawan
01:27until January 31 next year
01:30due to the implementation of the closed fishing season.
01:33Supply is expected to decrease.
01:36The supply will be limited
01:38because we are now implementing a closed fishing season.
01:41But this is what we are aiming for
01:42by having a temporary increase.
01:47The Department of Agriculture first ordered
01:49the import of 30,000 metric tons of fish
01:53like Galunggong
01:54which is expected to arrive
01:55at the start of the closed fishing season.
01:58The closed fishing season will also be implemented
02:00from November 15 to February 15
02:03for Sardines or Tambans in Zamboanga Peninsula
02:06and small pelagic fish in Visayan Sea
02:08like Alumahan.
02:10According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
02:12it is being implemented every year
02:14to repopulate the fish in the sea.
02:18To avoid the price of fish to rise
02:20during the closed fishing season
02:22that will rise from other countries.
02:24According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
02:26they are issuing a sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance
02:30to ensure that the fish will be safe to eat
02:33by the buyers.
02:34There are requirements that we are implementing
02:36to our importers
02:38when they get their import permits.
02:40Our importers must comply
02:43to ensure that what we are importing
02:46and selling to the markets
02:48is safe for the public.
