00:00The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is still investigating the presence of Philippine cargo ships.

00:07Not long after, another incident of shipwrecks in the West Philippine Sea of China

00:14in the middle of the maritime patrol there.

00:17This is Clayzel Pardilla in Central Nong Balita Live.

00:22Clayzel.

00:24Aljo, there is a sign of a decrease in the volume of fish caught in the West Philippine Sea.

00:33That is why the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is in a hurry to increase the capacity of our fishermen

00:40who fish in the West Philippine Sea.

00:44Not long ago, two ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources

00:50were hit by a shipwreck in China while maritime patrols were conducting in the West Philippine Sea.

00:58The agency's airplane was hit by a laser while conducting a domain awareness flight.

01:05These are just a few of the incidents of chaos and invasion of China in the West Philippine Sea.

01:13According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

01:16the geopolitical tension in the production of fish in the West Philippine Sea has an effect.

01:22According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

01:25the number of fish caught in the West Philippine Sea in the first six months of 2024

01:32decreased to 101,000 metric tons.

01:33Almost 7,000 metric tons less than 108,392 metric tons in the past year at the same time.

01:43This is something that the BFAR does not ignore.

01:46The geopolitical situation, we can say that's one of the reasons.

01:53There are also other reasons like the increase of free will,

01:57and the airline that passed through and affected the migration pattern of fish.

02:04We don't intend to actually ignore this fact that the contribution of the West Philippine Sea

02:15to the overall production of our national production declined significantly.

02:19So we are taking this seriously.

02:22The BFAR will also look into the presence of Philippine seabirds,

02:27a 50-meter steel multi-mission offshore vessel,

02:31and another multi-purpose refrigerated cargo vessel worth Php 1.5 billion,

02:37the agency's target purchase.

02:39More than Php 665 million worth of boats and other fishing equipment will be purchased

02:48and distributed by the BFAR for the Philippine Sea program

02:53that aims to increase the capacity of fishermen in our territory.

02:58The government has exhausted all the necessary efforts to actually address the issue

03:08and we will not stop implementing programs that will help our fishermen.

03:14As far as improving our capacity in terms of monitoring, control, and surveillance.

03:20Aside from that, our other floating assets have multi-mission ports.

03:26We also want to use them for lifeboat development.

03:30Despite the situation in the West Philippine Sea,

03:33the BFAR assured that the fish supply remains sufficient.

03:37The supply here in Metro Manila has been sufficient.

03:42And this has not affected the price.

03:47Taking into account that our country has a lot of fisheries.

03:52Our source of fish is not only from the marine, but also from aquaculture.

04:02Aldo, in the last quarter of 2024,

04:05the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources expects that the supply of fish will decrease

04:12due to the implementation of the closed fishing season in some of the Philippine seas,

04:17such as Davao Gulf, Zamboanga, and Palawan.

04:21But the BFAR assures that the supply will remain sufficient

04:25because at the same time, the arrival of imported fish is expected to be approved by the agency.

04:32Aldo?

04:33Claycell, the fishers of China are not competing with us, with our Philippine fishermen in the WPS.

04:47Aldo, according to the reports,

04:50one of what China is doing is poaching.

04:55And this results in overfishing.

04:59So, this could affect the supply.

05:02So, it's not directly competing,

05:06but China's activities are affecting our production.

05:12Aldo?

05:13Thank you very much, Claycell Pardilla.
