Japanese Fishing Company Invasion

Fishing really plays an important role in this community. A Japanese fishing company has made its first move to expand the business by initiating moves to enter the Philippines coastal fishing area.

I view of these, since there are numerous Filipino fishermen who are getting and relying from these coastal areas, some cause oriented fisher folks organization rallied to condemn the Philippines Government to cancel the agreement bet ween this Japanese fishing company.

Up to this moment, fisher folk from the northern part of central Luzon are worried of the possibilities that their depleting fishing ground might totally be eradicated after years of harvesting fish of this Japanese fishing company.

The Philippine Government seems to overlook this part. Most of the Filipino fisher folks used only "bancas" and some almost dilapidated "troll" in harvesting fishes. Their machinery will be in no way could compete with that of sophisticated and highly mechanical fishing boats of the Japanese fishing company.

The argument on the matter is still ongoing, and let us see what will happen next.
