00:00There are animals that are aggressive, that will really kill people.
00:11If the animals are there, and we are also there, we will definitely eat them.
00:19That's all we know about the sea.
00:21Of course, the kids are afraid to swim in the sea.
00:25Here in Sarangani, not only did we get an aesthetic video from a drone shot.
00:34Because if you look closely, you will see that there is life here.
00:39That's why the locals are being careful.
00:42But if in Sarangani province, life is being threatened,
00:46we have a well-known rule that says,
00:49life is included in one's own home.
00:53Is that the final answer?
01:00Let's go back to Sarangani,
01:02where not only did we get a video of a life-threatening sighting,
01:06but also two.
01:08The reason is to remember the residents of Parangay Lun Padidu in Malapatan, Sarangani.
01:15People here are afraid to come here to their homes.
01:20If the animals are there, and we are also there, we will definitely eat them.
01:25I am afraid because I also have children.
01:28They are not allowed to swim in the sea.
01:31Being the main livelihood of the locals is affected because of the animals.
01:36We cannot survive because we are afraid to go to the sea.
01:44According to DNR Region 12,
01:46only one saltwater crocodile was seen in the video.
01:49Just like the Guinness World Record holder,
01:51the largest crocodile ever.
01:54It was eaten by two people and their pets.
02:02This is the biggest life-threatening sighting in the world.
02:06Saltwater crocodiles can grow up to 23 feet.
02:11They can also attack people when they feel threatened.
02:15I can see their white fangs.
02:18We tried to hold on to them, but they pulled us down.
02:21A lot of blood came out.
02:22Dead.
02:23Beaten up.
02:24And there were no arms left for a man to hold on to after he was eaten by a crocodile.
02:34We met a saltwater crocodile that was seen here in Sarangani.
02:39I estimate it to be around 4 meters long.
02:42It weighs around 60 to 70 kilos.
02:47His revelation?
02:48Coming up.
02:51Let's meet a man who continued to live in his home.
02:56What is this behavior, huh?
03:00Meet Amihan, Ron's three-foot Philippine crocodile.
03:04I started there when I was a kid because dinosaurs became my favorite.
03:08I saw a crocodile that was very similar to those prehistoric creatures.
03:14And ever since, I've always wanted to take care of it.
03:17Ron got Amihan in 2021.
03:20He said it was only 5 inches long.
03:23I have friends who have wildlife farm permits, legal sellers for wildlife.
03:29Amihan, my Philippine crocodile, came from a zoo in Rizal.
03:34They were able to produce and breed this kind of crocodile.
03:39And I was able to give birth to one.
03:41Amihan is a Philippine crocodile that can grow up to 3 to 4 meters.
03:45It is the size of a standard pool table used in billiards.
03:49In the wild, they live in rivers and lakes.
03:52And they are known there as a great catcher of fish.
03:57They are not afraid of smaller creatures.
04:01That's why they have a low survival rate in the wild.
04:05The people who take care of these wildlife animals in private
04:09help us to keep these animals healthy.
04:13Because in the wild, they have a higher chance of being hunted or killed.
04:19Here in captivity, when they get sick or have needs,
04:25we give them this and bring them to the right professionals.
04:29In 2000, the Philippine crocodiles were listed as critically endangered
04:33in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
04:38The animals on the critically endangered list
04:41should be given importance so that they won't be totally lost.
04:47It's like those in the ICU,
04:49where all the doctors are looking at them to save them
04:54for the future of this animal that we pride here in the Philippines.
04:59There are conservation groups that help preserve this.
05:05I, particularly, have been involved.
05:07We were able to hatch a baby, one baby first,
05:11then the succeeding year, we produced and produced.
05:15It's not easy to take care of wildlife animals.
05:19It's not for beginners.
05:21It's best left alone to professionals
05:24who understand the care and management of the species that we're taking care of.
05:31Are you curious about how a day in the life of a crocodile owner?
05:35Ron, take it away!
05:39So there you go, friends.
05:40Join me in feeding Amihan.
05:42We have Papa Fonzy with us and we're going to feed him chicken feet.
05:47Once a week, if Amihan eats 3 to 4 pieces of chicken feet,
05:53there you go.
05:57And after this meal, Ron won't get tired of it for the whole day.
06:03Did you know that crocodiles also have a hashtag of self-care?
06:06They do this by sunbathing or busking.
06:10Because Amihan often has a hashtag of skin care in the pond.
06:16So there you go, friends.
06:17We're toothbrushing Amihan because once a month,
06:20we need to clean his scales
06:22because most of the time, he gets wet in water and mud.
06:26So in order to avoid scale rot,
06:29we need to bathe and clean him.
06:32There you go.
06:33Jesus!
06:34That crocodile is so clingy.
06:36Amihan, is that relaxing?
06:38Aside from Amihan, there are also tortoises,
06:41Civet Cat,
06:43and Ball Python, Ron.
06:46Due to his love for animals,
06:48he's currently studying veterinary medicine.
06:52Let me remind you, friends.
06:53The care of exotic pets like crocodiles and other reptiles and mammals
06:58requires a permit from the DENR or Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
07:05Under Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act,
07:12the DENR and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
07:14are working together to protect these animals
07:16so that they won't disappear or become extinct
07:19and so that there will be a balance in our ecosystem.
07:22Now, let's go back to the crocodile that was seen in the pond.
07:27My estimate is that it's about 4 meters long.
07:30More or less, it's about 60 to 70 kilos.
07:35His revelation?
07:37What we saw here,
07:38if we get close to the boat,
07:42it's like it's afraid that it will get lost.
07:45That's why it chases us.
07:47Later, about 15 minutes before we see it again from afar,
07:51it's like it's harmless.
07:53It doesn't even make a sound.
07:56Oh, by the way,
07:57the expert's reminder is that
07:59you still need to be careful.
08:01Its jaw power is so strong,
08:03its clamping really won't let you go.
08:06And when it detrols,
08:08it can dismember your hand, your arm, or whatever.
08:14They call it an opportunistic feeder.
08:17Meaning, if they see food in this area,
08:22they grab the opportunity to eat.
08:28Live and let live, you know.
08:30Because at the end of the day,
08:32all of us are just trying to survive.
08:34It is more like living with the animal
08:37that has been here in the Philippines
08:40for so many, many years.
08:43We should learn to live together with them.
08:47Because this is their former habitat,
08:50we also lived here.
08:52We should learn to give.
09:05Hey!
09:09Hey!
09:34You
