LET’S SAVE THE ENDEMIC PIJANGA FISH IN LAKE MAINIT

LET’S SAVE THE ENDEMIC PIJANGA FISH IN LAKE MAINIT It is an old story that keeps coming back, and it never ends well. Man destroys a lake, an endemic species disappears, and with it goes the livelihood of everyone who depends on that lake. Today, that story is unfolding once again in Lake Mainit — this time with the slow, painful decline of the pijanga. Pijanga (Glossogobius giuris) is not just another fish. For the people of Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, it is food on the table, cash in the pocket, and part of their everyday culture. Along the highway from Butuan to Surigao, motorists buy dried pijanga “by the piece,” a reminder that the lake is not just scenery — it is survival. But survival is now in question. A recent stock assessment presented by BFAR-Caraga paints a disturbing picture. From a peak catch of about 373 metric tons in 2016 and 2019, total landings fell to about 260 metric tons by 2024 — a decline of more than 30 percent. Worse, there are no signs of recovery. Even more alarming is the biological data: only 18 to 34 percent of the catch in recent years has reached reproductive maturity. That means most of the fish being pulled out of the lake have not even had a chance to reproduce. This is textbook overfishing. Veteran fishermen now catch in one trip what they used to catch in just a few throws of the net two decades ago. From 90 kilos per trip in 2008, some now bring home barely 20 kilos. The number of fishers has grown, fishing gears have multiplied, and enforcement has struggled to keep pace. The result is obvious: too many nets chasing too few fish in a lake that, no matter how deep, is still finite. So I ask: when shall we ever learn? If overfishing is the problem, why are closed seasons not being seriously enforced? If illegal fishing is rampant, why not immediately augment BFAR’s manpower with the Philippine National Police and the Coast Guard? If juvenile fish dominate the catch, why are size limits not being strictly policed at landing sites and public markets? Time is ticking. This is no longer a problem of “someday.” Every small pijanga caught today is one adult spawner lost tomorrow. I commend the local media for sounding the alarm early. Awareness is the first step. But awareness without decisive action is just noise. Are we really content with slow, piecemeal responses while a species found only in Lake Mainit quietly slides toward collapse? Let us be clear: if pijanga disappears, no amount of money, hatcheries, or technology can ever truly bring it back as an endemic species. Extinction is permanent. What should be done now — not tomorrow, not after another study? First, impose an immediate seasonal fishing closure strictly based on scientific spawning periods. Second, enforce minimum size limits with zero political interference. Third, declare core fish sanctuaries within Lake Mainit where no fishing is allowed, ever. Fourth, regulate the number and type of fishing gears. Thirty-six types of gear in one lake is ecological madness. And finally, involve the communities not just as fishers, but as guardians of their own future. Saving pijanga is not just about saving a fish. It is about saving jobs, food security, culture, and ecological balance. It is about whether we are capable, at last, of learning from our own mistakes. If we fail this test, future generations will only know pijanga from old photos, newspaper archives — and our excuses. And that, to me, would be the greatest tragedy of all. BY RAMON IKE V.

LET DENR ALONE HANDLE THE PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION OF CORALS

LET DENR ALONE HANDLE THE PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION OF CORALS When we talk about coral reefs — those breathtaking underwater gardens that shelter marine life, protect shorelines, and sustain fisheries — who should really be in charge of their propagation and protection? Ideally, there should not be confusion. But in the Philippines, responsibility is shared between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) under the Department of Agriculture (DA). In practice, that shared jurisdiction breeds overlap — and confusion. I believe it is time to draw a clear line: let DENR (through its Biodiversity Management Bureau, BMB) handle coral propagation and protection exclusively. Why DENR — and not DA-BFAR — should lead Coral reefs are not crops, nor are corals equivalent to farmed aquatic species. Coral is an animal — a marine invertebrate, a colony of tiny polyps that build reef structures over decades. They don’t yield “harvestable” produce, and they grow very slowly. Their primary value lies in biodiversity, coastal protection, habitat stability — not in direct agricultural or aquacultural yield. DENR’s mandate is to conserve and steward the environment and natural resources: terrestrial, marine, biological. Under its Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB), DENR already oversees marine biodiversity, coastal and marine ecosystems, protected areas, and reef rehabilitation efforts. Meanwhile, DA-BFAR’s mandate centers on fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic resources that produce food, income, and livelihoods — not on restoring biodiversity or conserving non-harvestable species. Yes — healthy reefs indirectly benefit fisheries. But that link does not convert coral into a “fishery product.” Expecting fisherfolk or farmers to propagate corals because “it helps fish stocks” treats conservation as a burden rather than shared public good. It also risks shifting the responsibility to communities least equipped for it. The danger of institutional “confusion by design” History shows us that shared jurisdiction often leads to loopholes rather than synergy. There is already a joint framework: reef rehabilitation and coastal management guidelines call for coordinated action between DENR, DA-BFAR, local governments, science bodies, and NGOs. But in practice, such collaboration often means diluted responsibility — and delayed action. While coral reefs in the Philippines are under heavy threat (from climate change, coastal pollution, destructive fishing, rubbish), bureaucratic bottlenecks and turf issues slow down conservation. Recent reports categorize many reef areas as “low to moderate” in coral and fish diversity. We cannot afford hesitation. Time does not wait. Coral bleaching, reef degradation, coastal erosion — these are happening now. What a DENR-only governance for corals could look like Clear mandate. Coral propagation, reef rehabilitation, and marine biodiversity protection – managed solely by DENR-BMB/Coastal & Marine Management. Partnership framework. DENR collaborates with LGUs, science institutions (universities, marine research centers), NGOs, and communities for monitoring, restoration, and stewardship — but not as a “fishing livelihood program.” Conservation-first philosophy. Coral reefs managed as public natural heritage, not as economic aquaculture commodities. Support mechanisms for communities. While corals themselves are not farmed for sale, communities can benefit indirectly — through ecotourism, coastal protection (less storm damage), improved fish stocks from a healthy reef base, and potential payments for ecosystem services. This is not to say DA-BFAR has no role — their expertise in fisheries management, aquaculture, and livelihoods remains vital. But their role should be limited to managing fish stocks, regulating sustainable fishing, and improving aquaculture. Coral propagation, reef protection, marine biodiversity — that belongs to DENR. Why this matters Coral reefs are among the most precious — and most vulnerable — ecosystems on Earth. The Philippines, lying at the heart of the Coral Triangle, is globally recognized for its rich marine biodiversity. Conserving reefs is not optional. It is essential for food security, coastal protection, climate resilience, tourism, and heritage. When coral conservation is diluted across agencies, we lose focus and accountability. As we face rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and increasing coastal development, we need bold governance: clear mandates, accountable institutions, empowered communities. Let’s not treat coral reefs as mere extensions of fisheries. They are living ecosystems — our natural legacy. Let DENR alone handle the propagation and protection of corals. Let us give corals the guardian agency they deserve. Let’s negotiate not over turf — but over survival. BY RAMON IKE V.

WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE WITH PHILIPPINES–CANADA AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION?

WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE WITH PHILIPPINES–CANADA AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION? At first glance, the news that the Philippines and Canada are exploring cooperation in cacao, coffee, dairy, climate-resilient farming, and the monitoring of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing looks like just another diplomatic press release. But I see this as a major breakthrough in economic diplomacy—if, and only if, we choose to think bigger. The Department of Agriculture announced that Canada is committing about CA$26 million to support its global agricultural initiatives. That is not pocket change. If used correctly, this could help modernize critical parts of our food system. Cacao, coffee, and dairy are not marginal sectors. Coffee alone is a livelihood for thousands of small farmers, yet we still import most of what we drink. Cacao is booming globally, but Filipino farmers remain trapped at the raw-bean level. Dairy? We import over 99% of our milk requirements. That statistic alone should embarrass us into action. The National Dairy Authority’s interest in Canadian dairy genetics and farm management know-how is encouraging. But let me ask the uncomfortable question: are we simply importing better cows, or are we building a real dairy industry? Genetics without cold chain, feeds, veterinary services, processing plants, and stable markets will not move the needle. This is why I wish our cooperation with Canada would go beyond primary agriculture and straight into food processing and value-adding. Why export raw cacao when we can export chocolate? Why ship green coffee beans when we can ship roasted, branded Philippine coffee? The real money—and the stable farmer income—is in processing, packaging, and branding. I also strongly push for precision agriculture. Canada has deep experience in satellite mapping, sensor-based irrigation, soil analytics, and climate-smart farming. Why are we not aggressively asking for technology transfer in data-driven farming? With climate change disrupting planting seasons and water supply, guessing is no longer an option. On fisheries, the cooperation on IUU fishing is quietly one of the most important parts of this deal. Canada’s aerial surveillance and “dark vessel” detection technology already helped identify dozens of suspected illegal activities in recent patrols. This protects our fish stocks, our coastal food security, and ultimately our national sovereignty. But technology alone is useless without fast prosecution. Can we now match high-tech detection with high-speed justice? Marketing is another glaring gap. I sincerely hope Canadian assistance will include opening their markets to more Philippine products. What is the sense of improving production if our farmers still face closed doors abroad? Trade cooperation should be two-way, not donor-recipient. And yes, we should absolutely include improving our poultry and livestock breeds. Our broiler and layer industries struggle with feed efficiency and heat stress. Canadian expertise in animal welfare, barn design, feed formulations, and genetics could significantly raise productivity while reducing losses. Let me throw in a few more ideas. Why not cooperate on cold-chain systems so fruits, fish, and meat stop rotting before reaching consumers? Why not joint programs on rice fortification for nutrition security? Why not farmer and technician exchanges, so our young people can train abroad and return with real skills—not just certificates? My bigger point is this: Philippines–Canada cooperation should not be a list of disconnected projects. It should be a full food-system partnership—from genetics and soil to processing, logistics, marketing, and digital agriculture. So I ask our policymakers: Do we want another short-term aid program, or do we want to finally build globally competitive, climate-resilient, and profitable food industries? The opportunity is already on the table. What more can—and should—we demand from this partnership? BY RAMON IKE V.

WHY NOT ESTABLISH VICE-CONSULATES ABROAD?

WHY NOT ESTABLISH VICE-CONSULATES ABROAD? Here is a simple governance question that keeps bothering me: Why does the Philippines operate only embassies, consulates general, and honorary consulates abroad—but not a single formal vice-consulate? In a world where millions of Filipinos live and work overseas, shouldn’t we be multiplying access points instead of centralizing them? Let me simplify. A Consulate-General is like a main office. A Consulate is like a big branch. A Vice-Consulate is like a small branch. An Honorary Consulate is an extension office with limited powers. Most countries use all four. The Philippines uses only three—and completely skips the Vice-Consulate model. Yet globally, vice-consulates are normal. Italy has them in Brazil. Spain has them in Mexico and Morocco. France uses them in smaller African cities. Even the United States historically maintained vice-consulates in second-tier cities. These posts exist for one practical reason: to bring services closer to citizens without building a full consulate. Today, the Philippine foreign service network consists of 67 embassies, 28 consulates general, four permanent missions, plus honorary consulates scattered across various regions. Vice-consuls exist—but only as officers inside large missions. They do not head their own small posts. So why this structure? Is it tradition? Bureaucratic habit? Budget fears? Or simply a lack of imagination? We should ask uncomfortable but necessary questions: Why must everything always jump straight to a Consulate-General, which is the most expensive model? Why not insert cheaper, flexible Vice-Consulates where large Filipino communities already exist? Why depend too heavily on honorary consuls who, by definition, cannot deliver full services? Take Guam as an example. Tens of thousands of Filipinos live and work there, yet they are served remotely by the Consulate General in Honolulu. That means travel costs, time off work, and delayed documents. Is this still acceptable in 2025? Or consider Alaska. The Philippines recently opened an Honorary Consulate in Anchorage—an important step—but it offers only partial services. For full passport or citizenship transactions, Filipinos still deal with San Francisco. Why not pilot a Vice-Consulate there instead? The usual objection is cost. Buildings are expensive. Personnel are expensive. Operations are expensive. But here is the policy blind spot: a Vice-Consulate does not require a building. It can operate from a rented office, a shared workspace, or even a hybrid virtual setup, staffed by just a few DFA officers. It is cheaper than a Consulate. Far cheaper than a Consulate-General. From a systems-thinking lens, this is really about subsidiarity—pushing government services closer to where people actually live. A Vice-Consulate is like a barangay office abroad. It handles passports, civil registry, visas, emergency assistance, distressed nationals, labor cases, and repatriation—exactly the services that overseas Filipinos need most. And this brings me to the human side. When a Filipino is detained, hospitalized, abused, or suddenly dies overseas, speed matters. Proximity matters. Paperless coordination is not enough. Physical presence saves time, money, and lives. So here is my proposal: Instead of jumping straight to new Consulates-General, pilot Vice-Consulates first in high-density Filipino areas that are currently underserved. Let them operate lean. Let them prove their value. If demand grows, upgrade them later. Why not test this in Guam? Why not try it in Alaska beyond honorary status? Why not in remote industrial zones in the Middle East, Canada, or Northern Europe where Filipinos are growing in numbers but remain far from major missions? This is not about diplomatic prestige. This is about service delivery. The Philippine state should follow its people, not force its people to chase the state. We already proved that Honorary Consulates work as stopgaps. Now it is time to upgrade the model. Vice-Consulates are not luxuries. They are the missing middle layer in our overseas governance system. If we truly value our overseas Filipinos as modern national heroes, then access to government services should not depend on plane tickets. Sometimes, governance does not fail because of corruption or incompetence. Sometimes, it fails simply because the structure is incomplete. And in this case, the missing piece is staring at us: Why not establish Vice-Consulates abroad? BY RAMON IKE V.

HOW DOES THE PHILIPPINES DISPOSE OF ITS ELECTRONIC WASTE?

HOW DOES THE PHILIPPINES DISPOSE OF ITS ELECTRONIC WASTE? The other day, while trying to dispose of my old household batteries, I suddenly realized something disturbing: I had no idea where to put them. I almost threw them into the trash — until guilt stopped me. Even the smallest battery is toxic waste. If I, who try to be environmentally conscious, am confused, what more do the others like me who think the same? So I asked myself: How does the Philippines really dispose of its electronic waste? Under the law, electronic waste or “e-waste” refers to discarded electrical and electronic equipment — from mobile phones and laptops to refrigerators, TVs, cables, chargers, and yes, even batteries. Under Republic Act 6969, e-waste is classified as hazardous waste because it contains toxic substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and flammable chemicals. This means they must go only to accredited Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facilities. On paper, the system sounds clear. In reality, it is anything but. Today, most e-waste in the Philippines passes through three informal channels: barangays, junk shops, and backyard recyclers. Households are told to store their old gadgets and coordinate with their barangay, which then tries to link up with an accredited facility. But many barangays do not know what to do either. Some simply let junk shops pick up the items. Others allow long-term stockpiling. And many households, confused and impatient, simply throw e-waste into regular trash. This is how informal recycling thrives. Informal e-waste recycling means the unregulated dismantling, burning, or chemical stripping of electronics to recover copper, aluminum, and traces of gold. Workers — often poor, unprotected, and sometimes even children — are exposed to poisonous fumes and contaminated dust. Toxic runoff seeps into soil and waterways. What began as “recycling” became a slow environmental and health disaster. Globally, only about 22% of e-waste is formally recycled. Asia generated nearly 25 million metric tons of e-waste in 2020, and the Philippines alone produced over 530,000 metric tons in 2022. As gadgets become cheaper and lifespans shorter, this mountain will only grow. Ironically, batteries — which started my personal dilemma — are among the most dangerous e-waste items. Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid. Lithium-ion batteries can explode. Cadmium and mercury destroy kidneys and the nervous system. Yet many of these still end up mixed with food waste in our landfills. So how do we stop the flow of e-waste into informal recycling? Should LGUs operate separate e-waste collection trucks just like garbage trucks? Should every barangay have a permanent e-waste drop-off point? Should junk shops be trained, licensed, and integrated instead of ignored? And why are electronics companies not required to take back the waste they themselves create? These are not academic questions. These are survival questions. This is a classic circular economy failure. We consume rapidly but dispose blindly. We punish informal workers for recycling dangerously, yet we offer them no safe alternative livelihoods. We pass laws, but we fail to build real systems on the ground. What we need is simple but bold: Barangay-level e-waste collection centers nationwide Formal integration of junk shops into cooperatives, with training and safety standards Producer responsibility laws, forcing electronics companies to help fund recycling Mass public education, so no Filipino ever again wonders where to throw a battery E-waste is not just trash. It is toxic capital — dangerous if mismanaged, valuable if recovered properly. If we cannot even safely dispose of our dead gadgets, how can we claim we are ready for a digital future? The lithium that once powered our phones, the mercury that once lit our screens, and the cables that connected our lives are now silently poisoning our land. And unless we act decisively, that poison will only accumulate — one battery, one phone, one forgotten gadget at a time. BY RAMON IKE V.

WHAT IS A BLUE ECONOMY?

WHAT IS A BLUE ECONOMY? The “blue economy” sounds like a fashionable buzzword, but in truth, it is one of the most serious survival strategies of our time. Simply put, the blue economy means using our oceans and coastal resources to generate jobs, food, energy, and wealth — without destroying the very ecosystems that sustain them. It is economic growth with ecological discipline. What many of us fail to realize is this simple yet powerful fact: the ocean area of the Philippines is larger than its land area. That reality alone should force us to ask — why do we obsess about land-based development when our greatest wealth lies in the seas? Perhaps we should now be speaking more about the blue economy than even the green economy. It was my friend, Mr. Manuel “Nong” Rangasa of LCCAD Holdings and the United Nations Associations of the Philippines, who first made this truth crystal clear to me: our oceans represent the biggest economic frontier we are not fully cultivating. For most Filipinos, when we talk about oceans, we think only of fish and maybe some seaweeds. But the blue economy goes far beyond that. It includes sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, shipping and ports, coastal tourism, offshore renewable energy, marine biotechnology, and even ecosystem services like carbon storage, storm protection, and biodiversity conservation. Globally, the ocean economy is already valued in the trillions of dollars and supports hundreds of millions of jobs. Yet despite this enormous potential, our oceans are choking — not from shortage of opportunity, but from our own waste. I have long believed that our future prosperity depends on our oceans, but their bounty will not magically fall into our laps. We must cultivate that future deliberately and intelligently. And the first step is brutally obvious: we must clean our oceans. We must remove the plastic already there. Better still, we must stop new plastic from entering. But we often forget a painful truth: ocean pollution begins on land. Whatever we throw into our streets ends up in our drains. Whatever flows into our drains ends up in our rivers. And whatever enters our rivers eventually ends up in our seas. So if we truly want to clean our oceans, we must first clean our communities and our rivers. The Philippines, sadly, has been tagged as one of the world’s biggest contributors of plastic waste to the oceans. That is not a badge of honor. That is a national embarrassment — and a warning. Which agency, then, should lead us into a real blue economy? Is it the DENR? BFAR? DOST? Or DEVDEP? My answer is simple: none of them alone. The blue economy is far too big, too complex, and too strategic to be imprisoned within a single bureaucracy. What we need is a national blue economy task force, with real power, real funding, and real accountability. We should not neglect the role of science and education. Institutions such as UP-MSI, the UP College of Fisheries and Ocean Studies, and SEAFDEC must be at the heart of this effort — not merely as consultants, but as architects of policy and innovation. And let us not forget the other ticking time bomb: rising sea levels. A blue economy that ignores climate change is a fantasy. Coastal protection, mangrove restoration, coral rehabilitation, and disaster-resilient fisheries must be central pillars, not decorative afterthoughts. The blue economy is not just about money. It is about food security, climate resilience, community survival, and national dignity. It is about whether we continue to treat our seas as dumping grounds — or finally recognize them as the greatest living asset of our nation. The oceans are not begging us for attention. They are warning us. The question is: will we listen before it is too late? RAMON IKE V. SENERES www.facebook.com/ike.seneres iseneres@yahoo.com senseneres.blogspot.com 09088877282/10-17-2026

WHY ARE THERE TOO MANY ROGUE COPS IN THE PHILIPPINES?

WHY ARE THERE TOO MANY ROGUE COPS IN THE PHILIPPINES? It is a known fact that social transformation takes a very long time, and in many actual cases, it could even take several decades. That said, we may be impatient about the pace of the changes as they happen, but on the bright side, we should celebrate the fact that it is happening at all. As we talked about the transformation that is supposed to happen within the Philippine National Police (PNP), some might say that nothing is happening at all. I disagree with that, because I believe that many significant changes are happening, except that these are not appreciated or understood by the general public. It appears that there are too many rogue cops — the numbers alone seem to say so. From July 2016 to November 2025, a total of 9,027 police personnel were dismissed for misconduct, criminal activity, and drug-related offenses. During the same period, 32,698 officers were found guilty of administrative offenses and were penalized through suspension, demotion, salary forfeiture, and other sanctions. A PNP official had claimed that only around 5% of policemen are rogues. But let us put numbers into perspective. With about 228,000 police personnel nationwide, 5% already means roughly 11,400 erring cops. Is that not alarming for an institution whose mission is to enforce the law and protect the people? Yes, I commend the PNP for pursuing its so-called “internal cleansing.” Thousands have been dismissed. Hundreds more are punished every year. But the bigger question remains unanswered: But looking back, we should ask ourselves why do so many rogue cops exist in the first place? I do not want to sound simplistic, but I strongly believe the problem starts with recruitment. Are the psychological and psychiatric tests truly effective? Or are they treated as mere formalities? Should these tests be conducted only once in a lifetime, or should they be mandatory every year, considering the stressful and risky nature of police work? Another uncomfortable question: Are unqualified applicants being accepted because of connections? The culture of “palakasan” is not new. When entry into the police force is compromised, everything that follows is already poisoned. Then there is the issue of corruption incentives. Some rogue cops are involved in extortion, robbery, drugs, and other crimes because illegal money is fast and tempting. Salaries are fixed, but illegal income has no ceiling. Without strong deterrence, temptation will always win. What about accountability? The PNP has an Internal Affairs Service, but how strong is it really? How independent is it? Do lifestyle checks truly work, or are they selective? Why do some cases drag on for years while others move quickly? Why do some officers get dismissed while others get mere slaps on the wrist? The drug war legacy also played a role. Since 2016, police have been exposed to enormous power, big money, and dangerous temptations. At least 1,037 dismissed cops were linked to illegal drugs. That is not a small number — that is systemic failure. In the vernacular, we often call these cops “pasaway,” as if they are guilty only of minor misbehavior. But there is nothing minor about abuse of power, criminal collusion, or betrayal of public trust. Are we, including the government agencies supposed to oversee the police, taking these offenses too lightly? The PNP is supervised by the DILG and NAPOLCOM. Yet the problem persists year after year. Why? Is supervision weak? Political? Selective? Are those watching the police also being watched? Yes, thousands of rogue cops have been removed. That is a good start. But removing bad cops after damage is done is not enough. What we need is prevention, not just punishment. Recruitment must be stricter. Background checks must be deeper. Psychological evaluations must be continuous. Lifestyle checks must be real and regular. Internal affairs must be fearless and independent. Whistleblowers must be protected. And corrupt protectors within the system must be exposed. If even 1% of the police force is corrupt, that is already too many. What more 5%? The public does not need perfection — but it deserves trustworthy protectors, not armed threats in uniform. Until recruitment, accountability, and oversight are truly fixed, rogue cops will continue to exist — not as exceptions, but as symptoms of a system that still needs serious repair. Overall, we should be happy that some changes are happening in the PNP, considering its long history starting from the original Philippine Constabulary. Let's celebrate whatever success they have achieved so far, and let’s try to help them in whatever way we can. I would like to help also, if only I would know how. That is because their success is our success. RAMON IKE V. SENERES www.facebook.com/ike.seneres iseneres@yahoo.com senseneres.blogspot.com 09088877282/10-16-2026
