SAN
LUIS - Fishing in the Pampanga River has remained as the best
alternative source of livelihood to the residents here in the coastal
barangays here and in neighboring towns along Pampanga River.
"Kapag nagsimula na ang ulan, marami na ang isdang nahuhuli sa ilog. Malalaki ito kumpara sa isdang nahuhuli sa karaniwang araw. Pati hipon marami na rin, ang tawag nila dito sa amin ay buntukin," Orly Villegas, a resident here said.
Villegas claimed that their group are not regular fishermen. He even classified themselves as seasonal fishermen who actually indulge into said undertaking only during rainy season.
"Karamihan sa amin ay mga construction workers at ang iba naman ay nakikipag arawan lang. Kaya kapag ganitong panahon sinasamantala namin ang panghuhuli ng isda sa ilog," he stated.
Villegas explained that they could not depend on their works in the construction particularly during rainy season as most of landed jobless due to weather disturbance.
"Siyempre di naman pweding mawalan kami ng pagkukunan ng pagkain. Mahinto man ang trabaho sa contruction ay pwedi parin kaming mangisda para sa aming mga pamilya,"another fisherman here stated.
This came despite the poor condition of Pampanga River due to continuing dumping of domestic garbage by the residents near the enbancment.
The said river is considered by the local officials as the biggest and the longest dump site in Central Luzon if not in the whole country.
