A group of fishermen belonging to the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (PAMALAKAYA) has urged the goverment to stop importing fish including galunggong (round scad), mackerel and sardines from China. The group went to the Department of Agriculture (DA) office denouncing the "last-minute importation" of 38,000 metric tons of fish. The fishermen claimed the measure is not the solution to the shortage in fish production. They even asked the government to support the ailing fishing sector.
