Ginasaluduhan naton ang mga kababaihanโ€”ang aton mga modernong Babaylan, hilabi na gid sa mga babahi sa sektor sang pangisdaan, nga naga-ulikid kag nagatuytoy sa aton katubigan.

Halin sa pagpangisda tubtob sa pagproseso kag pagdumala, kamo ang bugal kag dungog sang aton pungsod. Paagi sa inyo de-kalidad nga serbisyo, kahanas, kag paggiya, nagahatag kamo sang kasanag kag kusog sa aton industriya.

Ang aton sektor sang pangisdaan nagapabilin nga mabakod kag mapatinubason tungod sa inyo wala-pahuway nga pag-atipan. Kabay nga ang inyo tingog padayon nga mag-ugyong sa pagduso sang patas nga oportunidad para sa tanan, samtang kita nagahugpong para sa mas maayo nga Bag-ong Pilipinas.

Abante, Filipinas! Lead Like the Babaylan!

Based on the assessment conducted by BFAR, in coordination with the Local Government Unit of Bais on December 2, 2025, water quality parameters are within acceptable limits, and low levels of Vibrio spp. were detected.

The results of the heavy metal analysis of the samples submitted on November 6, 2025, also indicate that the levels are below thresholds.

Elevated plankton levels were also detected; thus, fish cage operators are advised to secure their stocks, as hypoxic conditions may develop due to blooms.

Further updates will follow once the algal bloom subsides and the PSP levels are confirmed to be below the regulatory limit.

The BFAR, in collaboration with local government units (LGUs), will continue to monitor the affected areas to maintain public health standards and support the fisheries industry.

Please be guided accordingly.
