FISH KILL.....Residents of at least seven (7) sitios in Brgy Dulangan, Pilar in the province of Capiz continue blaming the Capiz Sugar Central in the nearby municipality of Pres. Roxas as the "source" of the pollutants that caused the recent fish kill and ravaged their source of livelihood in the river.
Affected fisher folks interviewed by BK news team say that the water in the river smells like "sugar" and " molasses ", alleging that the liquid waste is coming from the sugar central.
No words yet from the management of Capiz Sugar Central as to the the allegations of the affected residents in Brgy Dulangan but I pressume that they will answer it, soon.
PB Robinson Benigla of Dulangan said that at least three thousand individuals were affected by the fish kill and now asking the help of the provincial government for relief assistance. The affected sitios are Cantel, Gisi, Tubungan, Tinigban, Bato-bato, Lahad and Siha.
Provincial Agriculture Office conducted series of tests in the affected areas and according to Lab Analyst Ramelyn Banares, the water in the river has low level of salinity and large volume of fresh water intrusion was observed. Banares added that their were no traces of Ammonia and Nitrite in the water samples. Dead fish samples were also sent to SEAFDEC for additional examination.
The provincial government of Capiz and the agencies concerned like the DENR and BFAR should conduct a thorough investigation regarding the fish kill in Brgy Dulangan in order to determine the real cause of the situation.
We also challenged the committee chairman of the SP Capiz, the Hon. Ed Magallanes to conduct a parallel investigation regarding the allegations of the affected fisher folks for a possible legislation in order to protect the river system in the area of Pilar and Pres Roxas.
