Ito raw ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na may nakitang saltwater crocodile sa lugar.
Paanong sa paraiso ng mga turista, nagkaroon bigla ng buwaya? May dapat nga bang ikabahala ang mga residente rito? Panoorin ang video.

00:00It was not a storm or typhoon that brought severe fatigue to Boracay Island in Malay Aklan this week.
00:13But it was a storm that swept the whole island and it was very windy.
00:25It was the first time that we witnessed a storm in Boracay.
00:31How come in the paradise of tourists, there was a storm?
00:37Storm in Boracay?
00:40Storm! Storm!
00:43Just this morning, the hotel staff, including Marlon, noticed something strange in the sea.
00:55It's like a thorn. We're not sure.
00:58But as soon as it reached the shore, they were shocked.
01:05They confirmed that it's like a swimming pool for tourists.
01:13In their estimate, it's 8 feet long. It's bigger than a person.
01:21We were shocked and we were wondering why there's a pool here.
01:26Because we've been living here for a long time and this is the first time it happened.
01:30The barangay officials, the Philippine Coast Guard, the MDRRMO, or the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office,
01:39and the DENR, or the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, immediately headed to the area of Buaya.
01:47To rescue Buaya and keep the tourists away from the disaster, they caught it.
01:55They sautéed it with lambat.
01:59But it disappeared and sank into the water.
02:02It was going to the deep sea, but the waves pulled it back to the shore.
02:07So it couldn't swim.
02:09At that time, there were already 30 residents waiting in the middle of the sea,
02:15waiting for Buaya to sink.
02:19At the end of Baibay, it swam back and forth.
02:21If there were many people at the end, it would go back to the other end.
02:25That's why we chased it.
02:27Until it surfaced again.
02:30It was only a few meters away from where it first saw the light.
02:35They caught it and sautéed it.
02:40At first, they had a hard time catching it because their lambat was small.
02:45But Buaya survived.
02:50So the fisherman, Jimmy, borrowed his lambat.
02:54We used a lot of material to make the lambat bigger.
02:58We put it far away so it wouldn't disappear in the water.
03:01So we could see where to put the lambat.
03:04Then they slowly pulled Buaya into the sea.
03:09We didn't feel scared.
03:11We were just chasing it.
03:13When Buaya reached the shore,
03:16the tricycle driver, Efren,
03:19pulled it hard to tie its mouth.
03:22Maybe three days after it surfaced,
03:25I went to Buaya and tied its mouth.
03:29The body was dirty.
03:32It seemed to have been in the water for a long time.
03:34It didn't have any wounds.
03:36It was in good condition.
03:38But maybe because of the strong waves,
03:40it seemed to be weakening.
03:42And so that it wouldn't swim,
03:44they covered it with a blanket.
03:46The tied Buaya was put on a stretcher
03:49and brought to the office of the City Environment and Natural Resources of Malay,
03:55which is located on the other side of the island.
03:57Buaya was named Crocodylus porosus or Saltwater Crocodile.
04:04It is now in the care of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office or CENRO of Malay.
04:11Its size is 250 cm or 2.5 meters.
04:16Its width is 25.5 cm.
04:21Its weight is 50 to 60 kg.
04:25Saltwater crocodiles really live in the ocean
04:30or maybe in rivers or lakes connected to the sea.
04:35But here on the island of Boracay,
04:39they have just seen it in the sea.
04:42Buaya!
04:44Buaya!
04:46This is the first time and it's really unexpected.
04:49It's a very rare occurrence on the island of Boracay.
04:53So it's still worth thinking about where it came from.
04:57If we look at the wind direction,
05:00since it's long,
05:02we can see that it was originated in Mindoro, Romblon, or Palawan
05:07where there are crocodile populations.
05:09Or because of the flood, their cubs were able to come out.
05:14But as of now, there are still no reported claims of Buaya.
05:20Meanwhile, because of the Buaya sighting on the island of Boracay,
05:25there are some residents and tourists who are afraid to go near the sea.
05:29We are afraid of our safety.
05:33But should they be worried?
05:36The island of Boracay is safe.
05:39All of our guardians on the island of Boracay are on high alert
05:44to maintain the safety of all swimmers.
05:48At the tip of Habagat and Nicarina,
05:52they saw a crocodile
05:55and it went viral.
05:57Meanwhile, in Boracay,
06:00for the first time,
06:02they saw Buaya.
06:03Buaya!
06:05Buaya!
06:07Apparently, there are unusual things that we can still witness.
06:14Buaya!
06:16Buaya!
