Years ago, mackerel scad, locally known as "galunggong," was considered the "poor man's fish" because it was inexpensive and can readily feed a family. However, due to extreme weather conditions and other economic factors, the staple protein has become a benchmark of inflation. Furthermore, local fisherfolk are clamoring for better reforms because their current status as the country's "poorest of the poor" have not taken a turn for the better.
