Hundreds of people feasted on fish, shrimp, and crabs that floated recently along the shores of Naic and Tanza towns in Cavite. Municipal Agricultural Technologist Victoria B.Capili said the floating sea creatures and the other sea animals were caused by what fishermen called "alig phenomenon" in Nais, Tanza and other coastal towns of Cavite. It was gathered that the "alig" phenomenon is an almost yearly occurrence where fish and other sea animals go to the water surface near the shores to get oxygen, said Capili as she cited that "alig" is a Tagalog fisher lingo for "maligalig" (restless or tense).
