It rained fish in Agusan del Sur

MANILA, Philippines - Small fish of still unknown species mysteriously fell from the skies over Loreto town in Agusan del Sur Friday afternoon during a heavy downpour, leaving residents and officials baffled and amused.
Blance Gobenciong, Office of Civil Defense (OCD) director in Caraga, confirmed the phenomenon but offered no explanation.
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive director Benito Ramos also could not provide an explanation for the strange incident.
“It came with the rain and about a kilo of these live fish is in the aquarium now,” Gobenciong said. Surprised residents went out of their houses despite the heavy rain to collect the fish that landed on rooftops and on the streets.
Lt. Col. Niel Patricio, commanding officer of the Army’s 26th Infantry Battalion whose unit has operational jurisdiction over Loreto town, said one his men witnessed the incident. “He reported back to me about what he witnessed and I instructed him to get or secure even a single sample for us to see and examine,” Patricio said.
He said troops and militiamen were in Loreto to monitor possible flooding as it has been raining heavily in the area. The nearby Bunawan River is reportedly in danger of overflowing.
Patricio said the phenomenon might have been triggered by a twister that sucked out a school of mudfish fingerlings from the Agusan Marsh, which is a breeding ground for mudfish.
“That’s the most logical explanation for now,” he said.

According to the mayor, they are still trying to identify the spotted fish.. meaning nga dili local isda ni sya kay wa man sila kaila.

Some of the fish are claimed to be alive and now swimming in an aquarium, if it was a water sprout, nag langoylangoy diay ni mga isdaa ni while gisuyop didto sa clouds up above?

Although science could explain it as a rare but natural phenomenon, it is still an amazingly incredible occurrence of nature.
