    Excerpt
    Amid the current restiveness of Taal Volcano, fish pen operators and fisherfolk assured the public that tilapia from Taal Lake is safe for consumption. "Yun pong phreatic explosion dito sa amin ang tawag eh pabusngi-busngi ng bulkan ay 'di naman nakakaapekto sa tilapia. Bumagsak ang debris sa paligid din lang ng isla at iyon namang sulfur dioxide ang naapektuhan ay mga halaman. Balik na ang mga tao sa pagpapakain ng isda. Lalong hindi rin naman kinakain ng isda ang abo na galing sa bulkan (The phreatic explosion doesn't affect tilapia. The debris fell only within surrounding areas of the island while sulfur dioxide only affects plants. Moreover, fish do not consume ash from the volcano)," Nestor Natanauan, president of Taal Lake Aquaculture Alliance Inc., (TLAAI), said in a statement on Monday.
