Excerpt

Fisherfolk leaders and sardine cannery owners are asking the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to convene a meeting with them and include coastal local government units (LGUs) to discuss the looming shortage of sardines for canning. In a media briefing on Monday by food security advocacy group Tugon Kabuhayan, Francisco Buencamino, executive director of the Sardines Canners Association of the Philippines, clarified that there is no shortage of canned sardines yet.
