This is the dramatic moment beachgoers formed a human chain to save a tourist from drowning at sea.
The man, who is in his mid-20s, was waist-deep in the water when powerful waves knocked him over on Binmaley beach in the Philippines on New Year's Day.
Onlookers heard his pleas for help and jumped into action to reach the drowning man as she struggled to stay afloat.
In dramatic scenes, more than a dozen beachgoers were seen springing into action to help save the drowning man.
The kind-hearted strangers linked hands to form a human chain from the shore to where the victim was.
Men at the end of the chain were carrying a rescue ring as dramatic footage shows harsh waves lashing tourists during the choppy mission.
The man was rescued and soon brought back to the shore where he was carried to the resort's medical team for treatment.
In the final scenes of the clip, beachgoers eagerly watch to see if the man is okay while he is being treated.
The swimmer was given the OK.
Gerald Pring, who recorded the life-saving spontaneous teamwork, said: "The guy is safe now. I was amazed by how everyone worked together to save him.
"The sea looked beautiful but it was also powerful. The waves were strong and he could not get back out to the shore once he was knocked over."
The Philippines, an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, has notoriously dangerous seas and rip tides on its popular beaches.
During the winter, conditions are the most dangerous due to high winds.
Local police have urged tourists to exercise caution when swimming on beaches in the province, following multiple drowning incidents over the years.
The Binmaley Police Station said people may misjudge the depth of the water because the beaches have an uneven seafloor.
