01:09They think it came from the oil spill
01:13that hit the boat at Tiranova.
01:17The fishermen are worried because
01:20it will affect their livelihood.
01:25The Environment Department and
01:28the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
01:31verify that oil spills in the area have been condemned.
01:36According to BIFAR,

01:46in the area.
01:47According to BIFAR,

01:57The fish we caught in Bataan

02:05because of the monitoring.
02:12The fishermen have also deployed
02:14to the fish landing area in Bataan
02:16to check the quality of the seafood.
02:20Even if the effect is widespread,
02:23BIFAR is ready to help the fishermen
02:27who might declare a fishing ban.
02:32It is the responsibility of the government
02:35to ensure that there is adequate support
02:38for the fishermen affected.
02:41The Department of Agriculture also ensured
02:44that they received a Php 1 billion Quick Response Fund.
02:49It is available in times of calamities and disaster.
02:52It is provided for rehabilitation efforts
02:56and to provide alternative livelihoods.
03:01It can also be used as a part of the assistance
03:05to those affected by Hurricane Karina.
03:07According to the DA,
03:09the Php 700 million was allocated to agriculture
03:13following Hurricane Karina and Habagat.
03:18Php 13,000 metric tons were lost
03:22and most of the losses were caused by typhoons.
03:27The losses are still relatively smaller
03:31compared to year-on-year historical damage
03:35brought about by typhoons.
03:37Normally, for a year,
03:39Php 500,000 to Php 600,000 metric tons are lost
03:43due to typhoons.
03:45According to the Department of Agriculture,
03:47despite Hurricane Karina,
03:49the supply of rice remains adequate
03:53and there is no reason to increase the price.
03:55The price of vegetables is only temporary
04:00due to the bad weather.
04:05That is the latest from Quezon City.
04:07Back to you, Aljo.
