The government will not ease up on clearing operations in Laguna de Bay despite expected revenue losses for the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said yesterday. The removal of the pens and cages was meant to ease the flow of water and prioritize small fisherfolk. The clearing operation came more than one month after the DENR declared a one-year moratorium on the issuance of permits to fish pen and cage operators
