THE Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said the country will have enough supply of fish especially in the upcoming observance of Holy Week despite the oil spill in the waters off Oriental Mindoro due to a sunken oil tanker. In a Laging Handa public briefing, BFAR Chief Information Officer Nazario Briguera said the country's state of fish supply is stable despite the expected limited supply in areas near the oil spill. "Generally speaking po, magiging sapat po ang suplay ng ating isda pagdating po ng Semana Santa. Magkaroon man ito ng kaunting pagsipa sa presyo because of the demand, pero manageable po ito dahil nga sa ngayon ay maganda po ang state ng ating supply," he said.
