Diskarteng Pinoy: Factory workers in Taiwan discover seafood paradise in nearby river, day’s catch lets them feed 100 co-workers

In a showcase of resourcefulness, overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan make the most of a nearby river by catching fish and crabs for daily consumption, letting them save on the cost of food.

Pinoys are known to be resourceful no matter where they are in the world. Take for instance, Ran Olivares, a factory worker in Taiwan, and his Pinoy crew who found a genius way to save on the cost of food after discovering a literal treasure trove in their backyard—a river teeming with fish and crabs, just begging to be caught.

According to Ran, who hails from a family of skilled fishermen, this river is a seafood paradise because it’s clean, making it a fish-catching haven. With a day’s haul, he and his buddies can feed 100 co-workers in the factory, helping them save on groceries.

He said they also lucked out because their neighborhood is full of vegetarians, which means there’s less competition for the river’s endless bounties.

Scrolling through Ran’s uploads will make any seafood lover’s mouth water in anticipation. Think enormous fish and crabs that are fresher than fresh.

Another blessing for Ran’s group is that Taiwan allows fishing in the rivers, except in some restricted areas that are deemed unsafe.

The glorious result of an epic river adventure:

All we can say is, sana all! It’s truly every seafood lover’s dream.
