THE Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) and Magsasaka Partylist (MPL) expressed dismay over the Supreme Court ruling allowing commercial fishing in municipal waters, which allegedly violates provisions in the Philippine Fisheries Code.
The two groups admonished the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and the Department of Agriculture (DA) for "sleeping on the job" and failing to appeal the court decision.
