Fishermen suffering from huge losses due to last week’s fish kill in the Laguna de Bay are asking local government units (LGUs) for assistance in securing funds provided to lakeside localities by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA). Members of the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Council (FARMC) from this town and Calamba City met with Los Baños Councilor Jay Rolusta last week to discuss how they could avail themselves of help through the LLDA fund. They were accompanied by leaders of the nongovernment organization Kilusang-Lawa Kalikasan. Experts from the LLDA and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources were still investigating the real cause of the fish kill.
