In some provinces elf trucks are used to deliver fish inside styrofoams w/ ice to nearby cities. So these airplane exporting first class fish to nearby countries is just like another higher version of that business. Maybe someday another higher level will evolve, like - spaceship exporting fish to nearby planets.. lol. pinoy tv

A few years back, a consultant for the NGO I was working for was almost left behind by SeaAir in Busuanga airport because they didn’t call her name out during boarding time. She soon found out why they didn’t see the need to call her…she was the ONLY human passenger on a flight to Manila, together with a dozen or so fighting cocks!!! :)

tenbreedmountaindog,

Yup, the Filipino Marine Biologist, Boni Comandante, PhD. who invented an anti-stress solution w/c keeps fish in a state of suspended animation is very much in action! He along with an Autralian investor they have formed, Buhi International which offers franchises of their technology abroad.

tweaker, thanks for that, I am so glad a couple of readers are plane buffs… while I used to be able to name just about any model of commercial jet aircraft around as a result of traveling for work so much, I am clueless about the smaller planes… Hi Yoohoo, while I have put a comment on seaweed from Japan as a possible area of concern personally, I don’t think too many other products will draw attention… to my knowledge or personal consumption, there are aren’t many Japanese dairy products that I use (except chocolate with milk), nor Japanese produce that I typically buy… so the issue is not significant for me… yet. But if things don’t improve soon, I would be worried about beef eating grass… producing milk that goes into chocolate. I would be worried about seafood and seaweeds from the affected areas… but I wouldn’t blanket discriminate against all made in Japan items. Joel, no, just a byproduct of a recent visit to Palawan. After two months of dieting and no diet coke, I haven’t “given up” anything for lent. Nomadic Pinoy, thanks, you see, I had a strange intuition there was a Bond moment there. :) Westy, thanks for that link, it was hilarious.

The other plane is a Cessna 207 “Skywagon” while the twin engine plane is a Beech 18 “Volpar”. The live fish trade in Palawan is monitored or controlled by the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development, pero syempre maski huli sa cyanide at overfishing ang mga lapu2x eh nakakalusot pa din.

Hi MM,

I curious to find out how foodies today react to ingredients (ie beef, tuna, wasabi, eggs, etc) labeled “imported from Japan”. Is it a positive, negative, or neutral? Is their perception carried over to shochu and sake? Would you be willing to do a survey among your fans?

Thanks,

Yoohoo

Hi MM! I know this is unrelated but I think this is something Catholic Filipinos abroad and even those here in the country will like to check out to reflect upon this Lenten season. It was put up by the Catholic Bishops of the Philippines
