'Manila Bay still rich in marine resources'
Excerpt
Manila Bay is still abundant in marine resources, fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said yesterday, following reports that some local government units were discouraging small fishers from fishing in Manila Bay by saying that it is already a “dead” body of water. “Contrary to the claims of local officials, Manila Bay is still diverse with marine resources. In fact, a significant fishing population from Cavite, Metro Manila, Bulacan and Bataan rely on its fishing grounds,” Pamalakaya national chairperson Fernando Hicap said in a statement.
