Floods have made 758 fishpond operators in Bulacan province poorer by as much as P54 million, with thousands of fish escaping from their pens since the prolonged monsoon rains this week. But escaping fish like “tilapia” and “bangus” (milkfish) as well as prawns and crabs ended up in the nets of enterprising residents, many of whom could have profited by as much as P100,000, said Randy Santiago, head of a fishpond owners' group in Paombong town. According to the Bulacan provincial disaster risk reduction and management office, the floods swamped 1,708 hectares of fish ponds and cages.
