AGRI party-list Rep. Delphine Gan Lee is proposing the creation of the Center for the Conservation of the Sinarapan and providing measures for its protection as contained in HB 3791. "Probably one of the most unsual freshwater fish found anywhere in the world, the Sinarapan or Tabios is endemic to Lake Buhi and Lake Bato in theprovince of Camarines Sur," Lee said.
