00:05 Good afternoon, Kapuso!
00:07 I'm your brother Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:11 A country in Antique is in a good mood.
00:14 When it's low tide, they give a chance to admire the beautiful heart of their ocean.
00:19 The corals are only a few steps away from the sea.
00:23 To witness the beautiful heart of our ocean,
00:27 you should know how to dive or snorkel.
00:30 But here in the town of Sebastiantique,
00:32 you don't need to dive to see the colorful coral reef.
00:37 Because when it's low tide, it's all over the residents.
00:40 There, all of them.
00:42 The corals are only a few steps away from the sea.
00:45 It's so beautiful!
00:46 Before, it's really a stone when it's low tide.
00:49 It's amazing because it's the first time I've seen such beautiful corals.
00:52 It's even different colors. There's violet, green, orange, shade green.
00:56 It's a coral.
00:58 Brother Kim, are corals animals or plants?
01:01 Brother Kim, what is it?
01:03 Brother Kim, what is it?
01:05 Although many people think that corals are plants,
01:08 do you know that corals are members of the animal kingdom?
01:11 They are formed by small, colonial, and plankton-eating invertebrates,
01:14 which are called polyps.
01:16 They are also called cnidarians and are the offspring of jellyfish and sea anemones.
01:20 As time goes by, polyps grow and multiply,
01:23 and there are symbiotic relationships with other corals
01:25 to form a coral reef.
01:27 The colorful coral reefs serve as a home for many kinds of fish.
01:31 The colors of corals are also very unique.
01:33 Why do they have colors?
01:35 They have a symbiotic relationship with marine algae that develop this color.
01:39 But our coral reefs are now disappearing.
01:42 Some of these are the ocean acidification, oceanic warming,
01:46 pollution, excessive fishing, and invasive species.
01:49 Meanwhile, since more and more people are visiting the Dalang Pasigan,
01:52 the local government has a reminder.
01:54 There are also signage that says, "Coral reefs are now prohibited."
01:57 If our coral reefs in the ocean are taken care of,
02:00 it can become like one of the largest coral reef systems in the world.
02:04 The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is the largest coral reef system
02:10 and the largest living structure in the world.
02:13 In fact, it is visible from a distance.
02:16 This ecosystem, which is 2,300 kilometers wide
02:19 and consists of 600 kinds of hard and soft corals,
02:23 has been preserved for more than 20 million years.
02:26 Always remember, it is important to know.
02:29 I am Kuya Kim and I will answer your 24 hours.
02:32 Good news, Kapuso.
