“Namumuhan po [yung mga farmers natin] ng P300,000 to P500,000. During bad harvest, kumikita sila ng halos P1M. But, in a good harvest, umaabot P1.5 to P2M ,” Germedia noted.In Las Pinas, about 150 kilos of mussels have died and according to Cesar Canoy, Las Pinas city fishery technologist this is the first time it occurred. There are no oyster farms in Las Pinas.

“Sa walong taon ko dito, ngayon lang po nangyari ‘yan na masama ang tubig, na namatay ang mga isda [In my eight years working here, this is the first time this happened),” he said.
