interesting article on good sources. Article: I feel that the fishing details are too much for a lead, read before anything about the geography, a summary would be better. The whales: both hook and article might stress that whales there are unusual, no? "Ghosts": I understand that the people used to believe that ghosts were singing, when they heard the sounds of the whales. Hook: I could imagine something about whales in the folk tales, as a bit more unusual. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:09, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I have shifted the fishing details to a separate section retaining only the gist in the lead. I am proposing the ALT1 Hook as below.

ALT1 ~~Hook ... that according to local folklore whales, which regularly visit the Pasaleng Bay (pictured) during the Holy Week are heard more as singing of a ghost, and ushered a good fish catch?~~

Too much of a good thing.

ALT2: ... that according to local folklore at Pasaleng Bay (pictured), visiting whales bring in more fish catch? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:59, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

ALT2 hOOK is fine. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 02:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
