We have species of sardines, mackerels na maka-fill in the gap sa production sang galunggong,” she explained. Recently, the Department of Agriculture (DA) announced that 17,000 metric tons of galunggong would be imported to stabilize prices and address the insufficient supply of fish in the wet market.
