00:00 When we see something beautiful, we cherish the moment, right?
00:03 Just like your trips, right?
00:05 Even Susan, because we don't know when it will happen again.
00:08 Because sometimes, it's just a moment in the world.
00:11 Just like "paru-paro".
00:12 "Paru-paro".
00:13 That's why we're going to the garden where "paru-paro" reigns.
00:17 In the story that we learned from Salima Refran.
00:20 Beautiful, colorful, and fascinating.
00:26 That's just a few of the images in "paru-paro".
00:30 But aside from bringing beauty,
00:32 this business is also doing business.
00:35 In 1990, Sherry's family opened their butterfly garden
00:43 here in Buwak, Marinduque.
00:45 From the time it's not in the egg,
00:47 just like that, we let it lay eggs for 3 to 5 days.
00:50 It will hatch.
00:52 It also depends on the type of "paru-paro".
00:55 And then after that, when it's ready,
00:57 just wait for 3 weeks until it becomes pupa.
01:01 When it's hot, it will shorten its lifespan so it can mate.
01:05 Sherry's butterfly farm has a size of 200 square meters.
01:10 They are estimated to have 1,000 "paru-paro"
01:12 that their current care here.
01:14 For the value of 50 to 80 pesos,
01:18 you can enter their butterfly garden
01:21 and enjoy these flying beauties.
01:24 But it's not easy to breed "paru-paro"
01:27 because their lifespan is not long.
01:30 There are 5 to 7 days, there are 12 days,
01:33 there are also 15 days and there are also 1 month.
01:35 Our 7 days is the butterfly.
01:37 It doesn't eat because it has no mouth.
01:40 If you want to culture, you have to plant their food first.
01:44 First, the citrus food, calamansi.
01:49 That's one of the "paru-paro" food.
01:52 The plan is to breed "paru-paro"
01:54 that is worth 10 to 30 pesos each.
01:58 But it's not just in the Philippines that it can be sold.
02:00 Because their pupae or the nest that is wrapped before it becomes "paru-paro"
02:05 is also reaching other countries
02:08 like New Zealand, Singapore and France.
02:11 You should know that the abundance of "paru-paro"
02:14 is a sign that the place has a good ecosystem,
02:18 like the marinduque.
02:19 We have fresh air here,
02:21 so the marinduque is not yet polluted.
02:26 Actually, the butterfly industry here in Marinduque
02:30 is already a livelihood.
02:33 That's why the marinduque is claimed as the butterfly capital of the Philippines
02:37 because we are the pioneers.
02:39 Almost 70% of our produce here in the Philippines,
02:43 the bulk of our export,
02:46 comes from the marinduque.
02:48 Even in a small community of Marinduque,
02:51 there are also people who breed "paru-paro"
02:54 like Rowena,
02:55 who has just finished her children's education
02:58 because of breeding and selling "paru-paro".
03:01 We are going to increase the number of butterflies
03:03 because that is our livelihood.
03:06 We earn money every day.
03:08 She sells her "paru-paro" to 3 to 35 pesos
03:14 depending on the breed.
03:15 On one day, we earn around 1,000 pesos.
03:19 We earn around 2,000 pesos.
03:22 For the locals,
03:24 "paru-paro" is not just an insect or a butterfly
03:27 because it has also become a symbol of their hope
03:30 for a better future.
03:32 God has blessed us with success
03:34 and until now, we continue to consume "paru-paro".
03:37 Aside from finding a livelihood,
03:39 we are also proud of it.
03:42 Like "paru-paro",
03:44 people's lives are constantly changing.
03:47 As long as we work hard and persevere,
03:50 life will surely become a colorful
03:53 "paru-paro".
03:56 I am Susana Ima,
03:57 and that is the story you should know.
