LINGAYEN, Pangsinan — Villages hosting “bangus” (milkfish) cages and pens in Bolinao and Anda towns look gloomy these days. “Lahat kami tunganga (We were all stunned),’” said a fish pen operator, who lost more than P25 million worth of bangus. ADVERTISEMENTHe said the fishkill started at Kakiputan Channel that is shared by the two towns on May 27 . The operators welcomed the suspension of stocking in all fish cages in the two towns. Pangasinan produces more than 100,000 metric tons of bangus annually, 80 percent of which come from Anda and Bolinao.
