local.seafdecaqd.extractA government agency study has revealed that fishes from the Agno and Balog River are safe for human consumption. The study conducted by Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) in Cordillera showed that recent sediment leakage from the damaged Tailings Pond 3 of the Philex Mining Corporation has no negative impact on the water and the living organisms in the river system which includes the plants and fishes and other living organisms, BFAR Cordillera Regional Director Lilibeth Signey said. Signey said although they discovered chemicals such as mercury, boron, arsenic and lead in the river system, these have no direct effect to the water and the fishes.en
