Pammigat kakabsat = Tawilis + Kamatis + kilabban Excerpt from Wikipedia......Freshwater Sardinella S. tawilis populations are found only in a Taal Lake in Batangas province on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The third-largest lake in the Philippines used to be the caldera of an ancient volcano.[3] Before recent history, the lake was but an extension of the entirely marine Balayan Bay. Major eruptions in the 18th century essentially sealed the lake from the sea, eventually leading its waters to become fresh water. S. tawilis is believed to be one of a few former marine species trapped within the lake that have evolved into purely freshwater species.[2]
