The increase prices of goods
The increase prices of goods has really great effect on the people because that is what they need in order to survive. And for that people demand increase in their salaries simply because they want to buy what they need. And there are some so that they could also buy what they want. People now sometimes does not look for the quality but the price itself. If they can afford it or not. I also agree that people should get higher wages so they could buy what they need. I hope this should so that there will be no more argument between people.

Reflection
When I heard about the fish kill, I thought about the people who make a living out of fishes because some people rely on fish for their business and for some their income. Even though the fishes are not anymore fresh, there are still some sellers who sell fishes but in a low cost. yet people still buy fishes. There are also people that looked for a substitute of fish and one example would be oyster.
Many fish business owners were greatly affected about the fish kill. They got less sales when the fish kill happened. As an effect the people who worked in the business get less income.
I think now the fish business owners got back what they lost and also I think that they are stable now that the fish kill has already finished.

20 tons of fish lost in new fishkill
At least 20 metric tons of fish were lost when a new fishkill hit two towns and a city in Batangas on Saturday.
Vicente Tomazar, Office of Civil Defense director in Calabarzon, said the affected areas are the towns of Mataas na Kahoy and Cuenca, as well as Lipa City, about five kilometers southeast of the Talisay side of Taal lake.
More than 1,098 metric tons of fish with an estimated cost of P1.42 million have been lost since early last week, he added.
Tomazar said 10 metric tons of tilapia were lost in Barangay Tagbakin in Lipa City.
In Mataas na Kahoy, the fishkill took 10 metric tons of bangus and tilapia, he added.
Tomazar told The STAR tons of fish were lost in barangays Kalamayin and San Juan in Cuenca town.
However, two fish cages with bangus and tilapia in Cuenca were not affected, he added.
Tomazar said the fishkill affected seven out of 30 fish cages in Mataas na Kahoy.
Fish killed in Cuenca included biya, pauto, apta, katang, siliw and muang, he added.
Tomazar said the dead fish from the three towns have been buried.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo ordered yesterday police officials in Batangas to ensure that owners of illegal fish cages dispose of dead fish properly.
“My directive was for the Batangas police to ask illegal fish pen owners to voluntarily dismantle their illegal fish cages until they have disposed of their dead fish,” he said.
Most of the illegal fish pens were installed in the shorelines of Talisay and Laurel towns inside Taal lake, he added.
Robredo said he has ordered Batangas police director Senior Superintendent Rosauro Acio to give illegal fish pen owners a chance to voluntarily dismantle the cages until all the dead fish had been retrieved and disposed of properly.
After a week, if the illegal fish pen owners would still refuse to dismantle the cages, police and local officials would dismantle them, he added.
