With the lifting of the closed fishing season, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) anticipates an improved fish supply in markets, especially as summer, the peak fishing season, approaches. BFAR Spokesperson Nazario Briguera stated that the government’s fuel subsidy program for municipal fisherfolk will help stabilize fish prices and support local communities. “Summer is the peak fishing season in the Philippines due to calmer seas. With a good catch expected, we anticipate a stable supply in markets,” Briguera said in a radio interview.
