Reflection:

We all know that Salmon and pompano are popular because aside from their
tastiness, they are also affordable. That’s why small fish vendors are anxious since they
rely on their earnings from these fish. It is quiet unfair to all consumers, especially this
coming Christmas who want to serve these fish for their noche buena . Knowing that
only rich people can afford hotels and restaurants where this fish can be available and
how about those poor people who cannot afford hotels and restaurant? It is really unfair
why are they just focusing in small businesses and why the selling of salmon and
pompano will be stopped and not other imported fishes? They are aware that imported,
farm-raised pampano and salmon are worst than industrial wastes and are not good for
the health. In fact importation and consumption should be bannned to protect the public.
Another issue is the inflation, as we are experiencing now in the Philippines prices of
commodity are timely rising and people are struggling to find cheat alternatives for the
commodities that are the price hikes especially the poor people that can’t afford human
necessities. It is really difficult, to think that even one onion will cost 20 pesos.
Description

According to the said report “Ipinagbabawal umano ang pagbebenta ng mga

imported na isda gaya ng pink salmon at pompano sa mga palengke, ayon sa Bureau of
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) nitong Huwebes. Anang ahensya, ang permit
para sa pink salmon at pompano ay para lamang sa mga industrial user tulad ng mga
cannery, hotel at restaurant. Ito’y matapos ang isinagawang public information
campaign ng BFAR sa Commonwealth Market sa Quezon City upang ipaalam sa mga
fish vendor na ipinagbabawal ang pagbebenta ng mga imported na isda na hindi
awtorisado sa mga wet market. Hanggang Disyembre 4 na lang umano papayagang
magbenta ng mga nabanggit na isda at pagkatapos nito’y mangungumpiska na ang
BFAR. Matagal na umanong bawal ang pagbebenta ng mga imported isda sa mga
palengke dahil sa Fisheries Administrative Order No. 195 na nilagdaan noon pang 1999.
Sabi ng BFAR, paraan nila ito para tulungan ang mga lokal na mangingisda at para
tangkilikin ng publiko ang mga isdang nahuhuli sa bansa.”
