00:00I know you're into gold, right?
00:02You have a lot of...
00:04You have a lot of beautiful alas.
00:06That's your investment, right?
00:08That's right, because in Laguna...
00:10Look at the green.
00:12Is that an emerald?
00:14Ocean deep.
00:16Ocean deep.
00:18You might drown.
00:20Here, in Laguna...
00:22I need to salvage it.
00:24Someone is asking you to get this and you're going to pay for it.
00:26Are you playing a game, Rupa?
00:28Get this.
00:30You know, I swam earlier.
00:32In BS.
00:34In the swimming pool there.
00:36Let's find out what kind of gold that is in the story below.
00:38Vivonne Aquino.
00:40Gold!
00:44Not all of the gold
00:46glitters.
00:48Because in San Pablo, Laguna,
00:50every kilo of
00:52Quintong Tilapia
00:54is paid to be salvaged.
00:56The three of them are affected
00:58by the seven lakes there.
01:00Because the population of this fish is increasing rapidly.
01:06In the lake of Sampaloc in San Pablo, Laguna,
01:10it seems like there's something fishy
01:12in the fish traps of Andrea Teodoro's Tilapia.
01:14The pants
01:16that our fishermen use,
01:18they attach them in the afternoon.
01:20Then in the morning,
01:22they will get it again.
01:24At the end, you will see
01:26that there are people with it.
01:28The golden Tilapia
01:30is a pest to fishermen.
01:32It's invasive.
01:34But of course, it's already known
01:36because there are people who see it,
01:38catch it, even the vloggers.
01:40But to be honest, it shouldn't be
01:42a source of income
01:44because it becomes an enemy
01:46of our fish, especially those outside.
01:48They eat the fingerlings.
01:50Even the feeds, they steal
01:52from the Tilapia.
01:54You should know that the golden Tilapia
01:56or Midas cichlid
01:58is a type of freshwater fish
02:00from Central America.
02:02It's the center chief and regional
02:04focal person of the Bureau of Fisheries
02:06and Aquatic Resources,
02:08Nenita Kawit.
02:10It's possible that it came from
02:12the fishermen of Midas cichlid
02:14as an ornamental beast.
02:16Accidentally, it disappeared
02:18and was brought by the flood
02:21According to Nenita,
02:23there are 3 out of 7 floods in San Pablo
02:25where the golden Tilapia is a pest.
02:27This is the flood of Sampaloc, Pandin, and Bunot.
02:29Continuous retrieval
02:31or catching of these
02:33and if we allow
02:35the Midas cichlid to disappear
02:37in other floods of San Pablo.
02:39There should be a biosecurity
02:41facility of aquarium
02:43beasts that are close
02:45to rivers and floods.
02:47It's already there,
02:49and people are already eating it.
02:51In the flood of Lambata,
02:53more than 4 kilos of golden tilapia
02:55were caught.
02:57Compared to the ordinary tilapia
02:59that can be sold for 110 pesos
03:01per kilo.
03:03According to the fishermen,
03:05the golden tilapia was caught
03:07for no reason.
03:09The ordinary tilapia is more expensive
03:11and it's the source of our food here.
03:13We bring it to the markets.
03:15The golden tilapia
03:17is the source
03:19of our food.
03:21Our mothers
03:23enjoy eating it.
03:25That's why the golden tilapia
03:27were caught directly in the kitchen.
03:35The ordinary tilapia is very tasty.
03:37Even if you don't put ricotta cheese,
03:39the taste is worth it.
03:41It's tasty,
03:43but it's not as good as the ordinary tilapia.
03:45To help
03:47the fishermen with their income,
03:49they also need to catch
03:51the golden tilapia.
03:53Each kilo of it is worth 50 pesos
03:55from the government.
03:57In 2022,
03:59we had a project.
04:01Our fishermen caught it
04:03as a source of income.
04:05Although the golden tilapia looks good,
04:07it's bad for the fishermen.
04:09That's why catching it
04:11will help a lot
04:13to keep the fish
04:15alive.
04:17I'm Vonna Kino,
04:19and that's the story you need to know.
04:43you
