While some saw it as a “blessing from above,” others feared it was a sign of something ominous to come. The sardines appeared along the coast of Tinoto village in Sarangani province on the Philippine island of Mindanao. Residents like Mark Baya expressed concern that this could be an early warning of something, although they admitted that it was perhaps unfounded.
