00:00It is considered a blessing to have a large supply of fish in Iloilo.
00:04But it is worrying that some are selling at a low price because the price has already fallen.
00:09Or maybe they are just throwing away the excess supply of fish.
00:12Live from Iloilo City, we have the first news from Zen Quilantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
00:18Zen.
00:19Mariz, the catch of fishermen in the ocean of Concepcion, Iloilo was caught early in the morning.
00:32It was sold for just Php 50 per catch.
00:38The catch of fishermen in the fish port of Concepcion, Iloilo reaches up to Php 5 tons per day.
00:49According to the local economic enterprise office, the catch is in season now, so it is natural that the catch was caught early.
00:56Because of this, the price of the catch has fallen.
00:59From Php 500 per catch, there are chances that it is just Php 50 per catch.
01:06If it is less than Php 300, it is down to Php 200.
01:09If it is just Php 100, it is just Php 50 per catch.
01:13According to the Local Economic Enterprise Office, the catch was sold for just Php 4 tons.
01:18There are some who buy the fish and give it to the people in the barangay.
01:23The rest is returned to the sea and thrown away.
01:27It is eaten by other fish.
01:30Okay.
01:31It is eaten by other fish.
01:35According to the report received by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Region 6, the catch of fishermen in Concepcion has fallen for almost a week.
01:43Visayan Sea is looking at the possible effect of the close season for the catch and other fish that were caught in November 2023 until March 2024.
01:54You allow the fish to grow, you allow the fish to breed.
01:58So meaning, it has something to do with increasing the population, increasing the catch.
02:06Another reason for the increase in the supply of catch to the town are the many marine protected areas.
02:12The Iloilo Provincial Agriculture's Office considers it a great blessing to increase the catch.
02:18But they are worried about the possible harvest of juvenile fish.
02:23We might have less breeders come November.
02:27Okay.
02:28If the harvesting continues.
02:35Maris, BFAR 6 has already notified the LGU to sell the fish caught from the fish port to the nearby towns.
02:43Maris?
02:45Zan, when will we see you on GMA Regional TV?
