00:14Gleisel Pardilia in the center of the news.
00:19It's getting more expensive.
00:21Instead of one and a half, because we have a lot, one kilo, I will reduce it.
00:26Eds just reduced the amount of fish he bought.
00:29The budget is just enough.
00:31Because the price of fish and other seafood in the Litex market has increased.
00:36Before, we can get 1.60, now it's 2.99.
00:42It's just like that now.
00:44Before, it was 1.60, 1.70, 1.80, now it's 2.50.
00:50Based on the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture in the major markets in Metro Manila,
00:56the price of fish and other seafood has still increased.
00:59Because of the storm, the sinking ships, they can't sail.
01:04According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR,
01:08the supply of fish is already affected.
01:10The fishing ban in some places that are affected by the oil spill is being enforced.
01:16A while ago, the motor tanker Terra Nova sank in Bataan,
01:21which caused oil spill that reached various places.
01:25The fishing ban in Dimay, Bataan was already declared.
01:29All kinds of shellfish such as shrimp, tulia, and mud crabs in Cavite were banned.
01:36The number of fish caught in some places with oil leaks in Bulacan is reduced.
01:41One producer in Bulacan, before this incident, his harvest was 55 tons.
01:48But yes, today, according to his report, it's only 4 tons.
01:54Imagine that, it's big.
01:57It's already affected, not only the prices, even the supply.
02:01It's not just Region 3 that will have problems.
02:06Even Metro Manila and other neighboring regions
02:09that rely on fish here in Region 3 will have problems once it gets affected.
02:16BFAR is warning consumers
02:19and instructing them not to eat fish affected by oil leaks
02:24because it's harmful to health and can cause food poisoning.
02:29According to the sensory evaluation done on some fish caught in Noveleta and Rosario, Cavite,
02:36Petrochemicals were able to see the samples
02:40but it was already observed before oil leaks or mud was noticed in the area.
02:45This is why it can also be a source of cleaning for ships in storms or landslides.
02:50Petrochemicals are products from the mud
02:53that are harmful to health and can cause cancer.
02:56Amado is not being investigated here.
02:59Clean it and wash it well with oil to kill the bacteria.
03:06But BFAR is warning...
03:08It's not recommended to eat fish as long as it contains petrochemicals.
03:15In the ingestion, in many quantities, it's fatal.
03:22The rule of thumb is, as long as it smells, don't eat it.
03:28Definitely, don't eat it.
03:30Now, if you wash it and cook it, it will still taste like fish.
03:35As long as it already tasted like fish, it's not safe.
03:38BFAR continues to monitor and investigate
03:42those affected by oil spills and fish landslides.
03:47It is also expected to provide various assistance to fishermen
03:51such as food packs and fuel subsidies.
