Fishermen protest against commercial and large-scale fishing in front of Supreme Court in Manila

Manila Bulletin

Fishermen from nine cities and provinces (Quezon, Cavite, Bataan, Zambales, Batangas, Bulacan, Navotas, Las Piñas, and Parañaque), along with representatives from the NGO for Fisheries Reform (NFR), held a protest in front of the Supreme Court on Friday, July 4. They brought an effigy of a fishing vessel to represent commercial and large-scale fishing activities in municipal waters.   On August 19, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a resolution affirming the decision of the Malabon Regional Trial Court allowing commercial fishing vessels to operate within the 15-kilometer municipal waters. These waters are designated under existing laws primarily for municipal or small-scale fishers. Nearly a year since the resolution was released and three months after the latest Motion for Intervention was filed, the Supreme Court has yet to issue a response to the concerns raised by the small-scale fishing sector.
