Social and political criticisms
I was talking to one of the fishermen this morning along Laguna Lake. Here were some of his comments:
l. Very soon there will be just a puddle of what once was Laguna Lake at the rate it is being silted and reclaimed. He said that many people are greedy for land, hence there will be more flooding.
2. The voracious janitor fish, introduced in the rivers by a famous Senior Manager at a MM office, has multiplied in number, is devouring other fishes and may be the only surviving fish soon. The janitor fish is supposed to be an efficient scavenger - hence the name. However, it is a voracious predator of other useful fish in the lake.
3. There could be livelihood from the eradication of janitor fish; they could sell the fish to the manufacturer of patis and fertilizer at between 3 to l0 php per kilo. However, regulatory bodies closed down the two factories. Hence no more job.
This is a typical Filosfo Tasyo thinking. Do you agree?
