The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has banned the harvest and consumption of shellfish in six areas that tested positive for Paralytic Shellfish Poison or toxic red tide. The banned areas are: coastal waters of Bolinao in Pangasinan; Milagros in Masbate; Dauis and Tagbilaran City in Bohol; Dumanquillas Bay in Zamboanga del Sur; Litalit Bay, San Benito in Surigao del Norte; and Lianga Bay in Surigao del Sur.
