'New law can void SC ruling on municipal waters'
The Philippine Star
|January 03, 2025
A new law is needed to overrule a decision of the Supreme Court (SC) allowing commercial fishing vessels to fish in municipal waters, according to former agriculture secretary Leonardo Montemayor.
Montemayor, chairman of the Federation of Free Farmers (FFF), yesterday joined small fisherfolk organizations in opposing the ruling of the high tribunal, which struck down a provision of the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 reserving municipal waters for small fishers.
