After the January 12 eruption, the Department of Health warned the public not to consume fish from the Taal Lake as it could result in serious health problems.

The 71-year-old native of Tanauan, who relocated to Barangay Lumang Lipa in Mataasnakahoy, insists that the tilapia and bangus harvested from the lake are safe to eat.

Aside from dealing with government warnings against eating fish from Taal Lake, an abundant supply brought about by escaped fish from damaged cages has wreaked havoc on prices.Previously priced between P100-P120 per kilo, tilapia is now being sold for only P30/kilo while bangus is at P40/kilo “Dahil sa pesbul-pesbul na yan, nagkamali ang paratang dito sa mga isda. Kumakalat ang balita na hindi daw ligtas kainin ang isda. Edi sana patay na kami?”
