00:00 Aside from the effects on the environment, the livelihood of fishermen is also affected

00:05 due to the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.

00:09 Live from Parañaque, the first news is from Darlene Cai.

00:13 Darlene.

00:15 Igan, the fishermen here in Parañaque are having a hard time because of their small catch.

00:23 They are teaching that the main reason for the fish to be affected is the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.

00:31 Before, the number of fish caught by Joey was in the hundreds.

00:41 Now, it's just a bunch of fish.

00:43 The fishing in Manila Bay is so poor that they are also having a hard time finding a livelihood.

00:49 They are teaching that the main reason for the fish to be affected is the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.

00:54 The loss of fish is big since they reclaimed the bay.

00:57 The water was so deep back then.

01:01 Now, it's just soil and sand.

01:05 This year, they also noticed the increase of Chinese ships that are doing reclamation.

01:12 They are really confused with our fishing.

01:17 They are going back and forth.

01:19 It's a lot.

01:21 Almost 40 boats are big.

01:27 The Philippine Reclamation Authority confirmed that there are reclamation projects in Manila Bay

01:32 that are being done by Chinese construction firms.

01:35 This includes the plan to make the place an entertainment and gaming tourism spot.

01:40 Because of this, many of Fernando's colleagues have stopped fishing.

01:46 That's why some people are building a livelihood there.

01:50 They are not building anymore.

01:52 They just stopped.

01:53 Because it's prohibited in Bandang Kabiti.

01:57 This is the day, less than one-fourth of the fishermen are going home.

02:02 According to William, the fishermen are coming here almost every day for the reclamation projects.

02:09 Sometimes, he also joins the fishermen.

02:12 They are not being ignored.

02:14 But the effect of reclamation on their fishing is not unknown.

02:19 The Chinese are just fishing here.

02:22 And the boats, they are just fishing to make sure that their bait will hit the fish.

02:28 That's all.

02:30 It's exciting to catch fish.

02:31 Their bait is floating.

02:34 The fishermen here are calling for the protection of the reclamation projects

02:39 that are affecting the fish that they are looking for a livelihood.

02:43 If they don't reclaim the water,

02:46 because we as fishermen are free to fish there.

02:52 If you will be caught there, where will we go?

03:03 According to the DNR, even though the reclamation projects are helping the economy,

03:08 the effect of it should still be studied.

03:11 So, they are already conducting a cumulative impact assessment.

03:15 This is the first news for now.

03:17 I am Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
