A crowd flocked to the Panagsama Beach in Barangay Basdiot in the southwestern town of Moalboal, Cebu on Sunday morning, Nov. 3, 2024, after hundreds of Indian oil sardine, locally known as tuloy, swam frantically toward the shoreline. The natural phenomenon of shoals of tuloy rushing to the shallow waters in large numbers is referred to as a sardine rush. The event, which was captured on video by Christian Sabandal, a local resident, is not unique as it usually occurs in September, October and November.
