    Excerpt
    Local government officials in the Visayas and other stakeholders have signed a resolution asking President Aquino to declare the Visayan Sea a marine reserve. The resolution was signed at the 7th Visayan Sea Summit in Bantayan Island, Cebu on June 5. "We are against commercial fishing that destroys coral reefs, seagrass beds and other marine habitats to the prejudice of the Filipino people," the resolution stated.
