00:00It's almost 16 feet long
00:07and weighs 30 kilos
00:18It's scary to look at it with your bare eyes
00:22But for Mother Gregoria, she is a brave woman
00:27She will take care of us
00:29When you are being beaten, I get angry
00:33I know that
00:35I love you
00:37Even if you are like that, I love you
00:52If wives are considered evil,
01:06in Dasmariñas, Cavite,
01:09this evil is a family
01:12to the wives of Mother Gregoria and Joseph
01:22In 1994, they were able to rescue this widow
01:25in a construction site near their house
01:30They named the pregnant widow, Queenie
01:36They named her Queenie because she is the queen of their family
01:41She's small, she's just a kid
01:45I told her, no one has given you food yet, just wait
01:50I told her, she's just a kid
01:52I told her, she's just a kid
01:53I told her, she's just a kid
01:54I told her, she's just a kid
01:56Now, Queenie is in the care of Mother Gregoria for almost 3 decades
02:03It's almost 16 feet long
02:07They feed her chicken meat
02:11Even though Queenie is dear to them,
02:14they decided to surrender her
02:17Why are you giving her to us?
02:19We don't have anything
02:21We are poor
02:25It's not easy for them to surrender Queenie
02:28But this is what they have to do
02:31Come, come, come
02:33Come, come, come
02:43Here, here, here
02:44Here, here, here
02:46Ouch
02:50I'll do it, I'll do it
02:57What do you want?
02:58I'll just take care of it
02:59That's the one who's eating
03:01She looks very daunting, look how big she is
03:04A size like this would require like 4 or 5 people to carry
03:09or to even restrain
03:11It's very important
03:13And also, this is a big food
03:16Since she's only 15 years old, she can't be held
03:19It's really hard, right?
03:21In fact, this is our struggle
03:23I was trying to assess earlier
03:25if she would suddenly
03:27or really surrender
03:29just like the other snakes we rescued
03:32The people thought that if they were rescued
03:35they would surrender their pets
03:38They thought they would magically go into this one place
03:42where they can live happily with other snakes
03:46immediately, with abundant food, etc.
03:50No
03:51No
03:52No
03:53No
03:54No
03:55No
03:56No
03:57No
03:58No
03:59No
04:00No
04:01No
04:02No, not like that
04:03Snakes like this have been in captivity for a long time
04:06They're not used to hunt anymore
04:08We're just going to transfer them to another place
04:15The resident of Dasmariñas, Cavite, Richard, is used to holding a snake
04:22There are many snakes in the province he grew up in
04:27Now, he's the one people call whenever they need to rescue a snake
04:33He called us
04:34He said he caught a snake
04:39Let's see
04:40He put it here
04:44Where did these snakes come from?
04:46The other one
04:48I saw it being sold here in the mountains
04:53Okay
04:54Then, last week, someone called me
04:58The owner of this place
04:59Yes
05:00He said he saw a snake going up to his body
05:07We were surprised by the shape of the snake's head
05:10It's almost flat
05:12because of the wound
05:15They're trying to escape
05:17They're trying to break their cage
05:21so they can escape
05:23What's happening?
05:24The snake is coming out
05:37Okay, let's get this
05:39Because these snakes are new to hunting
05:42and they're not used to people
05:44their aggressiveness can still be seen
05:47It's just that when they're like this
05:49it's hard for them to be seen
05:52When they're this big
05:54you can see them easily
05:55That's why this is the size that they usually catch
05:58And this is also the size
06:00Unfortunately, they're marketable
06:02They're being sold
06:23The next day
06:35Before bringing the snake to their new home
06:39and the snake that was rescued by Richard
06:42I'll treat them first
06:45Oh, that's good
06:48Don't put too much pressure
06:52Don't put too much pressure
06:55Just relax
07:05It's not used to this
07:07Just hold it lightly
07:09I'll support
07:14Alright
07:15On physical examination
07:16This has been inside their cage for the last 27 years
07:21There are healed scars
07:24Most likely from old scars
07:27There's nothing wrong with it
07:29It doesn't have parasites
07:30Right now, it's shedding
07:32You can see the eyes are blurry
07:34It's about to molt
07:36It's about to shed the skin
07:38which they do regularly
07:51It's bleeding
07:59Let's just wash it
08:01Even if it's just water
08:08It smells bad
08:10It's bleeding
08:13It's bleeding
08:1810 feet and 5 inches
08:20I gave him antibiotics
08:22for his breath
08:24I also gave him pain meds
08:27and also some vitamins
08:30It's important for them
08:33He still can't eat
08:35because he's affected by oral cavity
08:37It's hard for him to eat
08:42Hurry up!
08:53It's an egg
08:54It's a male
09:01The antibiotics we gave him
09:03will help that
09:04His breath is blurry
09:05But he's okay
09:07He can handle it
09:08Same as the other one
09:10It's just painful
09:13Meanwhile, we brought Queenie
09:15to the Wildlife Rescue Center
09:17in Cavite
09:20On June 11,
09:22Queenie was brought to a rescue center
09:24in Calawan, Laguna
09:30The other two animals
09:32were released to the wild
09:34far from humans
09:37Loving wildlife
09:39cannot be measured
09:41by imprisonment and care
09:43for them inside enclosures
09:45We can show them
09:47more love
09:49if we allow them
09:51to live freely
09:53in their natural habitat
