Floating solar project should consult Laguna de Bay fishers first
By J.Lo
“Napag-alaman namin sa lokal na pamahalaang hindi lamang mahaharangan ng mga floating solar panel ang daanan ng mga bangka, kundi sasaklawin ng proyekto maging ang mga daungan…walang alternatibong nabanggit para sa mga apektadong mangingisda ng Lawa ng Laguna,” PAMALAKAYA-Bay president Alejandro Alcones said more than 800 fisherfolk expressed their concern over potential loss of their livelihood due to construction of 2,000-hectare floating solar project in Laguna de Bay, according to chapter of fishers’ group, PAMALAKAYA-Bay.
PAMALAKAYA-Bay said small fisherfolk have raised their fears of solar project blocking their fishing boats and destroying their docks.
“Nakadidismayang hindi na nga kami nakonsulta bago planuhin ang proyektong sasaklaw sa aming pangisdaan, hindi pa isinama sa plano kung paano ang kabuhayan ng daan-daang maliliit na mangingisda sa bayan ng Bay,” he stressed.
According to PAMALAKAYA-Bay, solar project already auctioned by Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), will cover some areas in the province of Laguna, namely Calamba, Cabuyao, and Santa Rosa. It will also cover towns of Bay and Victoria in Laguna.
PAMALAKAYA also said project will negatively impact livelihood of at least 8,500 registered fisherfolk and over 2,000 individuals involved in aquaculture in Laguna province.
PAMALAKAYA-Bay stated it will engage with relevant government agencies, including LLDA and Department of Environment and Natural Resources, to present its stance against “profit-driven and destructive” project.
