Ang lumalabas, napakarami niyong requirements, balik-balik sa Maynila, ubos na \u2018yung anim na toneladang tambakol na kinita nila tapos ang requirements ang dami ang tagal ng proceso, ang tagal pa ng pag-release,\u201d Tolentino, who heads the special committee, said.<\/p>\n<p>(So many fishermen need your help. But it was learned that you have so many requirements, fishers go to Manila to and fro, their earnings from their catch already run out due to the long process and the release.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTapos pag di pa na-release ang certificate huhulihin pa sila. Hindi na sila makakapangisda, gutom \u2018yung pamilya, wala tayong isda sa palengke,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>(Then if their certificate was not released, they will be apprehended. Fisherfolks could not fish, their families hungry, then fish would not be available in the market.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay problema tayo sa food security. Nag-aangkat pa tayo ng isda \u2026 kayo naman, pinapahirapan ninyo ang mga mangingisda na makakuha ng permit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>(We have a food security problem. We are importing fish, then here you are, making the fisherfolk lives harder by the hard process of permit.)<\/p>\n<p>Tolentino then asked An if authorities confiscate the catch of fishers without permit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTotoo ba na kinukumpiska pa ang mga isda na hinuli niyo?\u201d Tolentino asked.<\/p>\n<p>(Is it true that your catch has been confiscated?)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Meron po kaming nabalitaang bangka,\u201d An, one of the 11 fishermen who survived <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnation.inquirer.net\/220628\/ill-fated-boat-involved-in-wps-collision-now-being-towed-to-subic-pcg#ixzz8FvQSV9LI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the fatal maritime collision<\/a> in the West Philippine Sea on October 2, responded.<\/p>\n<p>(We have heard of such cases from other boats.)<\/p>\n<p>However, Marina denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that allegation specifically pertains to Marina, we specifically and categorically deny.
