Re: business proposition

The belief, that bangus fish produced the organic way differs, is in dispute, and the probity – questionable.

Here at Seafood City, a Chinese store with Filipino taste, imports bangus either from Taiwan or the tagged-fish coming from “Pangasinan”.

Was tagging a ploy – though not Dagupan – to convince gullible consumers, that such import bears the vaunted quality of bangus coming from the ponds of Bonuan? If it’s too good to be true, it probably is!

The influx of this quality fish changed the attitude of Filipinos gravitating to it, while the bangus from Taiwan disappeared completely from the racks.

The shell game . . .

It could be switcheroo dumped on Filipinos who know nada about supply and demand. The demand is huge with Pangasinan bangus, and to maintain supply flawlessly … which Pangasinan couldn’t meet … Taiwan has to jack-up the ante.

His word . . .

The quality of this bangus, is in conflict to what Mr. Roberto Garcia’s espousing, that according to his probiotic organic feed system . . . no antibiotics, no growth stimulants . . . makes the augmentation of bangus technically enhanced, thus accumulating less fat and lacking richness to the taste.

The drawback ….

What good is a fish without the fat? Fat renders the fish its palatability, and absence of this special charateristic makes it non-marketable. If so, the fish from Mr. Garcia’s fishponds or any fishpond from Dagupan to Bolinao has no market in America.

The nature’s way . . .

Nowadays, people are disregarding products untouched by modern science. It’s not only pain-in-the-neck, but the source is kept in the dark. Anyone could read the plastic bottle of milk or a box of dozen eggs, shouting in your face, it was produced with cows and chickens running free in open range.

But, to sum it all these mumbo-jumbos: “It’s the marker – STUPID!”
