Fish production in the West Philippine Sea could increase if there is no"hindering factor" in the disputed waters, according to an official of the Bureau of the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources .
Reporters asked Briguera if the fish production in the WPS could have been higher if not for Chinese incursions in the contested waters. [Translation: Between 2021 to 2022, there's a decrease in the fish production in the West Philippine area and I was asked what could be the cause. They are trying to get that perspective that it's actually a result of the issues happening in the WPS in terms of the geopolitical situation.]
"Now going back to your question na posible ba na tumaas ang production ng WPS kung wala ang mga isyung ito na nangyayari doon? I would say yes," the BFAR official said.
