00:17Is that for real?
00:20As you can see, they have a lot of fish.
00:23In the very clean water of the canals in Japan, this is what you can see.
00:27They are living and colorful koi fish.
00:30Many of us wish to catch one.
00:33But not the people of Iligan City in Mindanao.
00:36In this creek in the barangay population, there are more than 100 koi that are swimming.
00:47The koi fish became an instant tourist attraction.
00:49When people come here, they can see that there are a lot of fish here.
00:54They don't really throw garbage.
00:56The fish are caught here since 2017.

01:05There are a lot of koi fish here.
01:07Before, there were about 4,000 koi fish here.
01:10Some people bought them.

01:16I don't throw garbage in the creek.
01:19But why do the koi fish in the creek in the barangay population seem to be lucky?
01:31In Japanese culture, this is a symbol of wealth and luck.
01:34Because of its large and long life span,
01:37some of its species can grow up to 36 inches.
01:40While the oldest known koi that has lived for more than 200 years is believed to be the oldest.
01:44Is this the so-called national fish of Japan?
01:47These fish are not native species in Japan.
01:50They were brought to Japan from China in the 1st century AD as a source of food.
01:56Meanwhile, how did koi live in a creek in the barangay?
01:59A koi enthusiast has an idea.
02:04Maybe there is a source of fresh water there.
02:08That's why they live.
02:09Because fresh water is a source of oxygen.
02:11If there is oxygen, they live.
02:13What about Lito?
02:14What I want to happen now is to help the people.
02:19But do you know how much is the most expensive koi in the world?
02:27Hiroshima in Japan in 2018 is the most expensive koi carp in the world.
02:34The S-Legend is a Kohaku variety with a length of 3 feet and 3 inches.
02:39A Taiwanese bidder bought it for 203 million yen or almost 78 million pesos.
