Court decision that allows commercial fishing in municipal waters challenged

The Freeman

April 26, 2025

Constitutional framer Christian Monsod and Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, have filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking to overturn a lower court ruling that they say endangers the exclusive fishing rights of small-scale fishers in municipal waters.

Monsod and David have jointly filed a petition before the Supreme Court in Manila on Thursday, April 24, seeking to overturn a ruling that would permit commercial fishing within the crucial 15-kilometer zone reserved for small-scale fishermen.

Along with David and Monsod is lawyer Grizelda Mayo-Anda, an environmental lawyer and advocate for coastal communities.

The 55-page petition assailed a December 2023 decision by the Malabon Regional Trial Court (RTC), which invalidated key provisions of the Fisheries Code.

The RTC ruling struck down local government jurisdiction over these near-shore waters and eliminated the legal mandate prioritizing access for small-scale fishers
