MANILA, Philippines — A red tide warning is still raised in five areas of the country and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said shellfish and acetes or 'alamang' collected from these locations are 'not safe for human consumption.' The BFAR said the red tide alert is still up in Dauis and Tagbilaran City in Bohol, San Pedro Bay in Samar, Dumanquillas Bay in Zamboanga del Sur, and Lianga Bay in Surigao del Sur.
