A fishers’ group on Sunday decried the low retail price of “tawilis” (Sardinella tawilis), which had dropped to P100 per kilogram from the usual P250 per kg, amid reports that bodies of the missing “sabungeros” (cockfighting enthusiasts) have been dumped in Taal Lake. In a statement, Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said it received reports that the price of tawilis had dropped to an “all-time low” of P100 per kg in several towns in Cavite province.
