Shellfish Bulletin No. 1 issued on January 15 by BFAR claimed that laboratory samples taken from the city bay show that all types of shellfish and Acetes sp. or alamang are still not safe to consume.
Latest laboratory results said that shellfishes collected at Puerto Princesa Bay in the city; coastal waters of Dauis and Tagbilaran City in Bohol; Irong-irong, San Pedro, and Silanga in Western Samar; and Cancabato Bay, Tacloban City in Leyte, are still positive for paralytic shellfish poison beyond the regulatory limit.
