An ultimatum is out for all owners and maintainers of illegal fish pens along the city's river system - October is the end of the line. Mayor Belen T. Fernandez of this city made it clear that the "Bantay Ilog" task force will clear the city's river system of illegal structures by the end of October even if these are loaded with Bangus fingerlings. City Administrator Farah Marie G. Decano also said the Bantay Ilog was given a stern warning on the deadline set by Mayor Fernandez against all illegal structures in the city's main rivers and small tributaries in the city.
