00:00It is said that the supply of fish is enough now, but since the close fishing season is approaching, the government plans to increase the amount of tons of galunggong.

00:14Find out in the first news live of Bob Alegre.
00:17BAM!
00:22Gigan, good morning. The close fishing season of BFAR is approaching.
00:25How much is the price of fish here in Bulungan Market, Paranaque?
00:32Belen Jackson loves to eat yellowfin tuna, so she adjusted her budget first while her favorite fish is getting more expensive.
00:40The fish is expensive now because sometimes we can only get it for Php 100, Php 10, Php 120.
00:46The price is higher now.
00:48Aside from yellowfin, galunggong is also expensive here in Bulungan Market, Paranaque.
00:52According to a vendor named Obed Amarilla, he understands why the price of galunggong is increasing.
00:58From Php 150 to Php 170 per kilo back then, the price is now Php 210 to Php 250.
01:05Galunggong is expensive because it's round.
01:07That's why the price of galunggong now is Php 120 to Php 200.
01:11According to BFAR, in some families, the price of galunggong can reach Php 300 per kilo.
01:16It's not a good time to sell galunggong.
01:18It's possible that the price of galunggong will increase in the next weeks for galunggong.
01:25November 1 to January 31, 2025 for galunggong in Northeastern Palawan.
01:30November 15 to February 15 for Sambuanga Peninsula.
01:34And November 15 to February 15 for Visayan Sea.
01:38Supply is enough for now.
01:40But the government will import 30,000 metric tons of galunggong for the closed fishing season.
01:45Supply will be limited because we will have a closed fishing season.
01:50But this is what we are focusing on to have a temporary increase.
01:58Not all types of fish are expensive.
02:00Here in Bulungan, Parana, the price has decreased.
02:03For example, bangus daguban used to be Php 180 per kilo.
02:06Now, it's only Php 165.
02:08Tambacol used to be Php 170 per kilo.
02:11Now, it's only Php 130.
02:13Asahasa used to be Php 220 per kilo.
02:15Now, it's only Php 160.
02:17And Tilapia used to be Php 150 per kilo.
02:20Now, it's only Php 110.
02:22That's what the vendors are hoping for to have an impact on the closed fishing season.
02:27First of all, we are a family.
02:30We need to provide for our family.
02:36Ikan, these imported galunggong are usually frozen.
02:44But according to BFAR, these are safe for consumption.
02:47Because importers need to pass their permit and safety clearance before selling.
02:53This is the first news from Parañaque, Bamalagre for GMA Integrated News.
