Senator Loren Legarda has proposed the creation of a Department of Fisheries to ensure adequate supply of fish for the country in a sustainable manner.
Legarda said that as an island nation, the Philippines necessarily depends on its fishery resources for its food. Fish used to be among the cheapest sources of protein for Filipinos but now, some fish products are even more expensive than pork or chicken.
