MANILA, Philippines — The agriculture department should stop giving the green light to import more fish and should have decided on shortening the closed fishing season to curb shortages instead, Sen. Imee Marcos said. 

 

She also claimed that fisherfolk now "have basis" to file cases against the DA, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) and Bureau of Customs (BOC). 

 

Marcos was among the senators who attended a recent hearing on the agriculture department's decision to increase the volume of frozen fish imports, and sign up for an additional 60,000 metric tons (MT) of fish for the first quarter.
