Pabs Rosales leads the Progressive Fisherfolk Alliance in the Philippines. Pabs and the members of his fishing alliance are just ordinary men who want to make a living to provide food for their families and education for their children but WTO policies are taking away their livelihoods through liberalising their fisheries sector. Large commercial trawlers are able out-compete fisherfolk like Pabs with only his simple boat. Furthermore, overfishing by commercial trawlers has also led to the depletion of fish stocks in his area.

As part of their demonstration outside of the WTO minsterial 2009, they cooked their traditional food to demonstrate their simple diets but also to highlight how dependent they are on fish for both their livelihoods and their food.
