This is the breathtaking moment when beachgoers formed a human chain to save a drowning tourist on the Binmaley beach in the Philippines. The man in his mid-20s was waist-deep in the water when powerful waves knocked him over.

The video shows onlookers jumping into action to reach him from the shore by forming a human chain. The rescuers held fast to complete the mission while being lashed by choppy waves. The man was eventually rescued and carried to a medical team for treatment.
