Giant tilapia caught in Manila's Estero de San Miguel

A giant tilapia was caught from a canal in Manila previously noted for its pollution, according to the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC).

In a post on Facebook, PRRC said the fish, measuring 20.5 inches in length and weighing 3 kilos, was caught by its "river warriors" at the Estero de San Miguel on Thursday morning.

"Tunay ngang nakikita na natin ang positibong pagbabago ng ating mga ilog dahil sa pagtutulungan natin na buhayin at pangalagaan ang mga ito," the PRRC said.

"Ipagpatuloy natin ang mga mabubuting gawain na ito at tiyak na bibiyayaan tayo ng ating kalikasan!"

The PRRC has been spearheading the cleanup drive of Estero de San Miguel. —KBK, GMA News
