The sudden and mysterious emergence of an unknown bacteria along the coastal waters of Manila Bay causes a massive fish kill, resulting in the loss of millions of pesos worth of fish products here. This was disclosed by Melandro Ramos, president of the Central Luzon Small Scale Aqua Culture (Class A) Fishponds' Owners Association, who appealed to the national government, particularly the Department of Agriculture (DA) and local government units (LGUs), to look into the mysterious appearance of the bacteria that pollutes their fish ponds along the coastal areas of Bataan and Zambales.
