Protecting spawning grounds during peak breeding season is sound science, and giving bulgan and other native species a chance to replenish is the kind of responsible stewardship long overdue in many of our waterways. But while the moratorium may bring temporary relief, it barely scratches the surface of what the Iloilo River truly needs. The enemies of the river are not the hook-and-line anglers who line its banks. The real threats are far bigger, far more complex, and far more deeply rooted in the day-to-day operations of a rapidly urbanizing city.

Based on reports from the Concepcion Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), 44 boats were totally wrecked while 172 were partially damaged, affecting at least 213 fishermen, most of them residents of Barangay Igbon, an island barangay heavily dependent on fishing.
