The fish supply in Cebu City or Metro Cebu may be affected if the implementation of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia’s order, which imposes a ban on the entry of “wet goods in unsanitary conditions” in the province, continues. Some fish suppliers, particularly those from Zamboanga Peninsula, have complained that the governor’s Executive Order (EO) 2, series of 2024, may hinder the delivery of fish to their clients in Cebu if they are apprehended due to water leaks from their trucks. Jaime Calelo, 66, was among those who expressed their concerns over E0 2, which was issued by Garcia on Jan. 10, 2024.
