ROMBLON, Philippines – Tons of mackerel tuna (tulingan) surfaced along the coastline of Barangay Sawang in the town of Romblon on Friday (January 17), prompting cheers of excitement from residents.
According to the uploader of the viral video, they have been observing hundreds of fish swimming near the shoreline since Thursday.
It was not the first time that such a phenomenon happened in the area, though the most recent was many years ago, one resident said.
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), meanwhile, said they are still verifying the cause of the incident though the agency explained that fish usually appear near the beach if they find something to feed on.
