Amid pig’s blood fuss, Muslims seek slots at Gensan fish market

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Amid the outrage triggered by the recent discovery of tuna soaked in pig’s blood to make them appear fresh in this city, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, the local Muslim community urged city hall on Friday to allow Muslims to sell fish at the public market.

Andang said that “there has been no Muslim fish vendors at the city’s biggest public market” as the stalls at the fish section have been awarded to Christian vendors. Last May 15, the city government, through the Market Enforcers and Inspection Team, caught four stall owners selling tuna meat coated with pig’s blood.

With the public outrage not just from the Muslim community, the local government padlocked stall numbers 140/141 , 139, 143, and 145/146 , all at the fish section of the Central Public Market.
