Fish pen owners in Laguna de Bay lose ₱115M to 'Rolly'
Excerpt
Fish pens covering 90 hectares of Laguna de Bay were wiped out by strong winds and lake current, unleashing about 2.2 million kilograms of cultured “bangus” (milkfish) at the height of Typhoon “Rolly” (international name: Goni) on Sunday. While this had allowed for a free-for-all catch in lakeshore communities, the typhoon left about P115 million in losses to fish pen operators in the southern part of the lake in Calamba City and Los Baños town, both in Laguna province. The amount was just a “conservative estimate” by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) on Tuesday, with its team set to sail out again Wednesday and inspect damaged cages near Talim Island in Binangonan and Cardona towns in Rizal province, said licensing officer Juan Estoy.
