00:00 The Department of Agriculture also suspended the issue of clearance for the importation of their fish to the country.
00:06 The DA is now investigating the continued smuggling of galunggong, bonito, and mackerel to the markets.
00:13 It is considered illegal if the importation is for canned, processing, or institutional buyers.
00:20 According to the DA, they have formed an enforcement team to chase and arrest those behind the illegal smuggling of fish to the markets.
00:30 The fish market is not at fault.
00:33 The real fault is that the fish is being imported and diverted.
00:38 The fish market is not at fault because the fishing season of small, municipal, and commercial is from March to June.
00:47 So, prices should be stable.
