Fishermen in Rosario, Cavite say dredging and seabed quarrying activities in the municipality are threatening not only the environment but their livelihood as well.
In Maki Pulido’s report on “24 Oras” on Wednesday, the fishermen said that their daily earnings have gone down from P1,250 to just P250 after at least ten dredging vessels were deployed in the area in 2021 to supply sand for a reclamation project in Bulacan.
Villanueva said some of them have to venture out to farther to fish, while others are now working in construction. According to the Philippine Reclamation Authority , the sand collected in Rosario is being used for an airport being built in Bulacan. “Lahat po ng fishermans’ organization doon. The locals were either nabigyan na po namin ng ibang benefits, ayuda or other employment,” said PRA Assistant General Manager Joseph Literal.
