00:00 The supply of bangus in Bangus, the capital of the Philippines, Dagupan City, is being closely monitored.
00:06 It is being avoided because the milk can't enter the market.
00:09 That's the first live news of Jasmine Gabriel Calvan, GMA Regional TV, 1 North Central Luzon.
00:16 Jasmine.
00:17 Ivan, 24 hours there are people watching here in Magsaysay Fish Market
00:25 to ensure that the bangus sold here in the family hana are safe to eat.
00:30 In the heart of Magsaysay Fish Market in Dagupan City,
00:37 the City Agriculture Office, City Health Office and City Market Division
00:41 are closely monitoring the supply of bangus in the market.
00:48 These are the bangus that were caught in the fishing net,
00:51 lacking in dissolved oxygen but still alive.
00:54 The auxiliary invoice was deducted from the trucks that entered the fish market.
00:59 The Sanitary Division of the City Health Office is also investigating the bangus that were brought in the family hana.
01:05 We are forcing them to not bring in the bangus without an auxiliary invoice.
01:11 If they are from a municipality like Anda, they will get their auxiliary invoice from their municipality.
01:19 Most of the bangus caught in the fish market came from the fishing nets in Binmalay, Pangasinan.
01:25 As of now, the price of bangus has increased by a lot.
01:29 The price is good. It has increased. The price is now P135 to P140 per kilo.
01:35 We cannot say yet because sometimes it rains and sometimes it's hot.
01:40 The buyers are being extra careful in bringing in the bangus to Magsaysay Fish Market,
01:45 especially if they will travel to a faraway place.
01:48 It's hard to sell bangus. No one will buy it.
01:52 The price of a kilo of small-sized bangus is P90.
01:56 Aside from Magsaysay Fish Market, the authorities also guarded the borders
02:01 to make sure that no bangus can enter the city.
02:04 The price of bangus is now P5 to P10 higher than before,
02:15 but it is expected to increase in the coming days,
02:19 especially if the supply is high after experiencing the drought in Western Pangasinan last week.
02:26 Ivana.
02:27 Thank you very much.
