Описание: February 6, 2026 Episode

We go in-depth on the latest news, the biggest national issues, the political scene, and conversations with prominent personalities — all these firsthand on "At the Forefront" with Gerg Cahiles only on BNC.

The Philippines is losing around 45 million kilograms of fish every year, according to a new study by international marine protection group Oceana.

In this episode, Attorney Nikka Oquias, Campaign Lead of Oceana Philippines, explains what’s driving the country’s alarming decline in fish catch—from overfishing and weak enforcement to climate change, coral bleaching, and commercial fishing in municipal waters.

With 88% of fish stocks now classified as overfished or depleted, the crisis threatens food security, fisherfolk livelihoods, and household nutrition, as fish remains the main source of protein for millions of Filipino families.

What happens next if this trend continues—and can Philippine fisheries still recover?
