Fishing in the Philippines

[1lewis10100]

very smart way of hunting... just a shame cause reefs are a delicate eco system

[hotpapilatino253]

Well, at least they aren't killing whales like some OTHER people we all know.

[earlizthebestgta]

not oly Pilipinos do this but Indonesians also

[jerpao13]

muro ami is no longer practiced by the fisherman who used the techniquebefore, but in mindanao it is still secretly practiced but luckily because of education and and better laws developed the numbers of muro ami practices has decreased dramatically

[cheeeeezitz]

i hope that white tip brings his friends and eats all of them...

[seasnake321]

yes JOIO84 but there are good dive stories and videos on the net also. Try the myscubastory site. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one .. enjoy

[558shadow]

yes its banned, but our goverment don't reinforced it cuz they're so busy to do some other things tulad kung paano nila maibubulsa ang budget para dyan.

[juzanothergal]

what the.. cruel ttm. am i supposed to like or dislike this? like coz it raise awareness or dislike coz this method really sucks D:

[pikamanable]

What if the boat sinks...

[marumito]

this is really a devastating way to kill our way of life in the Philippines... I hope & wish that there would be a sustainable way 2 do it. we are in the 21st century but some fisherfolks in our Country are still trapped in the Ancient ways of Fishing... Muro Ami should be Continually Banned. we need dialogue & more understanding coupled with education in our fisheries so we can save & sustain our FISH, REEFS & CORALS.

[legobeast88]

Muro-ami was banned nationwide through Republic Act 8550 (The Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998). I remember seeing this video when I was still young. They also made a movie about Muro-ami that starred a famous filipino actor that brought awareness about the dangers of this fishing method.

[redamethy]

filipino boys nowadays are playing computer games..lol.

[warimi2]

have you seen the Pa-aling sequence on BBC youtube channel?

[kaibar25]

may mga foreigners na naman na umeepal sa video na ito! mga gungong kayo,e ano ipakakain nyo sa mga kapus-palad kong mga kababayan? isa pa di na uso yan at matagal na yan! nagyon pinangangalagaan na ng mga kababayan natin ang ating karagatan.

[slugmetal0071]

eto ba tinatawag n muro-ami??? di na uso to ngaun. there's a lot of better innovations on fishing . this video does not apply nowadays

[localguy8]

i hate to imagine how many "TROUBLE MAKERS" kids were thrown overboard

[mikealano1]

@mikealano1

The Article from UK Dive Site

Scuba Travel

Just google Apo Island Philippines or the thousand of dive sites that sprouted in the country all over in the past 2 decades

[mikealano1]

The diving is excellent with a selection of walls dropping away from 5 m or so to 25 m and deeper. Highlights of the diving include: turtles, drifting through shoals of several hundred large jacks, myriad (tons, lots, even more than you are thinking of) clownfish among the anemones of "Clownfish City" in the fish sanctuary, fields of grass eels, lots of coral in good condition, and many tropical fish than I shall ever remember the names.

[mikealano1]

Tourism and diving sites are sprouting all over the country and, foreign and local investors have noticed and are taking advantage of our archipelago to be blessed with 7101 islands. Check out our LGU Apo Island, Negros Oriental...try bohol and other cities... and you all will understand what I am talking about.

We are coming around nicely and thanks to Mr WELLBRAN to post this and remind us that this should never happen again...ever.

Thank you.

I am a Filipino and I have to admit that this video is necessary.

I work closely with the Local Government Units in one of the Visayas Islands concentrating in the protection of marine wildlife and livelihood program for the the fishing villages.

Fellow Filipinos, understand this is a very old video...but is a good reminder of what has been. Today is a different story, our local government units unanimously agree that a far bigger economic advantage in preserving our marine wildlife...

[WELLBRAN]

@mikealano1 Yes this clip is some years old and there is still much work to be done but as you have said things are changing for the better but sea polution is a big issue in the Philipiines, thankyou for your very informed comments here

[CoenBB]

good upload, thanks for sharing

[filipinofear13]

atleast pinoys swimmers are like kids they dont use some suit

[scorpion791106]

wow awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeee fishing....

[dyhaziee123]

wen was this uploaded this is a very informative video, i hope many Filipinos viewed this one, this problem is not noticed by the Philippine Government very much. sad to say many coral reefs are destroyed..

[PsychoDwarfX]

where r the sharks when we need em

[EARL1220i]

few fisherman still do this in a small scale but same effect to the coral reefs pls condemed it i have seen it here in davao 10 swimmers who has rope and chains in the end of it and destroying the corals for some few fish to cath . i have told them its elligal but they still continue... wish i have the power to arrest them i

[HeartCookies100]

wat the hell 0.0

[Newbpwng]

[blasterpogi]

that was long time ago

[MrEdwinochoa]

muro ami

[Rhen032]

matagal na yan video! 1978 pa yan. . . pagkakaalam ko sa Frabal yan at pangalan ng barko Aura B...

[HerrnRemix]

Napanood ko ito sa movie nakakaiyak at nakakainis ang mga magulang ng mga bata naka-upo lang nag-antay sa kita ng mga bata.

[jayseer25]

com on com on you dick head dont blame one race for lacking of fish in some countries, in fact because of wailukufisherman's lack of knowledge he may not know that most of the countries are also doing illegal fishing.

[katuray33]

doing this way to survive even to their life danger....how you judge them..are you lucky watching them in your computer ...goverment wake up .......im sad if im brother is in there......

[shuffler656]

i like fishing i like neting yes i may cach lots of fish but not nellly as much as that that clip made me sick f the ships up!!!!!!

[WELLBRAN]

Just adding my comment here, the clip is mainly about the Dangers to Children and young people, and the video clip is many years old, lets hope that this fishing technique is long gone. Maybe someone from Phils fisheries can inform us here about it better.

[wailukufisherman]

das why no mo fish in hawaii all the fuckin filipinos netting them all.

[triStarsSun]

come in philippines so that we can fuck u! shit head

[kante19]

Guys, don't hate on the pinoy's. American's also do this, American's kill more then 800,000 shrimp a day and sell it. Pinoy's are poorer then most countries and they do this to survive. It's sad, I agree, but don't hate on them. Its how they survive.

[kalagukoy]

this is a disaster. they are killing even the tiniest fish because of this fish net.

the governemnt should regulate this kind of fishing.

masahol pa sa japan ang mga pilipino.

lumubog sana ang basnig ninyo kasama ang may-ari at kainin ng pating.

mamana na lang kayo. use spear to catch the fish.

[cheddergetter]

fucking filipinos

i like them fish better learn how to fish the proper was

[benito1188]

so sad

[fuzz461]

i hope all those ships are sunk with all of its crew to the bottom of the sea. they are nothing but environmental terrorist. death to muro ami fishermen.

[Mpbresenio]

this video is long time ago,...

and if u dont mind,.. can u edit the title of this video,..

coz its sounds like philippines only use this method for fishing,.. no ones care before and un educated people dont know whut they doing,...

so dont be one of them,...

and put your stuff in there places,...

[WELLBRAN]

1st answer : Did I say it was recent?

2nd answer : No

[raventwin9932]

sharks usually dont attack when there is groups of people it scares them away

[nagardy]

this is fucking awsome i love it those kids can dive but wat if a great white shark approaches the becomes breakfast lol

[ilocanoz12345]

job well done Mr, WELLBRAN very nice video..,

[Pinoysolja7]

Putang ina niyo kino niyo lahat ang mga isda ma extinct na lahat. ano pa ang makukuha ninyo kong wala na?

[soliloquyinsolitude]

thank you for considering my request and actually doing something about it but i was referring to your video's title...just a suggestion, you could for instance put there "muro ami fishing in the philippines" or something...thanks!

[WELLBRAN]

I think most people who listen to the clip will get th idea. While reading my description

[InfiniteMomentStudio]

@WELLBRAN

i read your description and i agree with all you said

[soliloquyinsolitude]

nice documentary but your title is inappropriate. muro ami is only a way of fishing in the philippines, an illegal one at that. your title connotes a notion that it's the main method of fishing so it would be gladly appreciated if you could edit it.

[WELLBRAN]

I have editted the description so hope that is better. Yes there are other methods used, hook and line methods are better, in any language. Nets are too good! No escaped fish!

[hobiecute]

moro ami is scary

[BassCreek]

this was ages ago.

[WELLBRAN]

Yes correct from an old documentary, I have no evidence that it ihas stopped now so if you would like to give me some info about how they stopped it, I would be grateful

[MrKorea]

pathetic.......

[baggu250]

That net is huge!

[gerardcahapay]

OK!!! IF YOU THINK SO!!!

[WELLBRAN]

The Phils has a huge sea area to guard, in my country e have not so mush area..and we cannot patrol all of it, all of the time, my country has a bigger navy than the phils..so?

[gerardcahapay]

YEAH!!! 24/7

[WELLBRAN]

I bet they don't

[gerardcahapay]

But for the record , THE philippines coastgaurd protects the philippines sea with all their lives

[WELLBRAN]

Must have a lot of vessels out there then,24/7

[gerardcahapay]

Sorry for the wrong spelling.

[gerardcahapay]

MURO AMI has been baned seens 1993

[WELLBRAN]

BANNED yes but as the video clip suggests it still goes on? would be interesting to find out right?

[gerardcahapay]

I leave here in the philippines and I a shure you. this thing is in the old age

[WELLBRAN]

Thanks for the comment, yes the video clip is several years old, but I am not sure if this fishing still exists, would be interesting to find out from Phils Gov stastistics?

[cuaem]

AHAHA! LOVE THE CARABAO ENGLISH!

[reefrunner9]

Incredible rape of the reef, once again, by man. Disgusting

[raptoromilda]

not good they destroy the corrals and why using the children ???????
