‘Monster’ hito, weighing over 10 kilos, caught in Pasig River

Fishermen reportedly caught a huge catfish or hito from the Pasig River, the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) has said.

PRRC executive director Jose Antonio Goitia received photos of the fish that was said to weigh more than 10 kilograms.

A single hito usually weighs less than a kilo.

The same goes for large tilapia that have reportedly been caught from the waterway and its esteros.

According to the PRRC, the catch would serve as their "inspiration to be more active in protecting the Pasig River."

"Our joint efforts will definitely result to making the Pasig River habitable for more species of fish," their post said. —NB, GMA News
