Following the destruction and burial of 24 tons of “bangus” (milkfish) from fishkill areas of this province last weekend, local authorities have set up a 24-hour monitoring of deliveries entering the city’s public markets. Mayor Belen Fernandez reiterated on Monday her warning to fish traders not to engage in the illegal sale of “tangōk,” a local term for dead milkfish from fishkill areas, or face criminal charges. It will be recalled that over the past week, Kakiputan Channel in Bolinao and several coastal villages in Anda were struck by a fishkill.
