Fisherfolk slam PRA over reclamation
Manila Bulletin
|November 23, 2025
A group of fisherfolk assailed the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) after the agency claimed that reclamation projects could serve as flood control measures.
In a statement on Saturday, Nov. 22, the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said the statement of PRA runs counter to field evidence and government findings, including the environment department’s own assessment of Manila Bay.
“What a big lie and deception is the PRA’s claim that reclamation can be used as flood control,” Pamalakaya said.
The PRA, according to reports, claimed that reclamation offers safer and more organized resettlement sites, new economic zones, among others, which are expected to relieve pressure on highly congested communities.
But the fisherfolk group said that even the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) exposed ongoing works in Laguna de Bay that were presented publicly as a flood control initiative but were in fact reclamation activities.
The group added that fisherfolk and coastal residents have seen the impact of similar projects for years.
