A New Advocacy for Department of Agriculture

Philippines – The senators unexpectedly shared their point of view as they reminded authorities of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) for advocating the importation of 60,000 metric huge loads of fish to the impairment of the business of anglers in the country.

In view of this, Sen. Cynthia Villar, director of the Senate panel on horticulture and food, helped DA and BFAR authorities to remember her proposals that rather than importation, they ought to simply have suspended the shut season or the period during which the taking of determined fishery species by a predetermined fishing gear is restricted in a predefined region or regions in the Philippine waters.

Along with this, their proposal was rather than fish importation, simply suspend the shut season. They shared that they are not proficient on fisheries but rather that was the primary they considered. Presently the NFARMC (National Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council), that was their suggestion.

Not only that, Villar managed a cross breed formal conference on the Senate goal on the increment in the volume of importation of frozen fish and on importation of 60,000 MT of fish. She said Typhoon Odette didn’t devastate fish supply, and that with their boats harmed, anglers couldn’t fish.

Consequently, Sen. Imee Marcos addressed DA authorities for overlooking proposals of NFARMC for more limited shut fishing season, rather than importation. Villar and Marcos called attention to that in light of the fisheries code of 1998, preceding bringing in fish, DA should initially talk with the multi-sectoral committee which is DA’s most elevated warning body.

Morever, DA Undersecretary for fisheries Sheryl Marie Caballero said as the director of NFARMC, she marked the gathering’s proposal not to import, but rather the chamber is only a recommendatory body and it is the horticulture secretary who has the last say on the matter.
