    Excerpt
    Hours after a 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit Masbate and some parts of Eastern Visayas, a giant Opah fish was caught by fishermen in an island in Oras, Eastern Samar. The colorful giant fish, weighing more than 80 kilograms, was caught in the waters off Barangay Sta. Monica in Tubabao Island. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR-8) Regional Director Juan Albalajedo said the fish could have been affected by the earthquake shock waves, and swam to the shallow portion of the water.
