The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said the fishing season was closed, and it was forbidden to catch galunggong around Palawan - the largest source of the fish in the country.
Based on the Department of Agriculture monitoring on Friday, local galunggong was unavailable at the Commonwealth Market and Mega Q Mart in Quezon City.
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources said the fishing season was closed, and it was forbidden to catch galunggong around Palawan - the largest source of the fish in the country. "September, October, November, hanggang January, kasi 'yan yung spawning season eh ng galunggong, kaya may closed season. So mapapansin mo 'yung mga maliliit na galunggong, 'yan 'yung mga pinapanganak at 'yan yung inaalagaan natin na wag munang mahuli dahil maliliit pa lang sila. 'Yung option natin, marami namang isda kasi. Yung galunggong, hindi lang naman 'yan ang isda sa palengke,” said Tugon Kabuhayan Convenor Attorney Asis Perez.
