00:00Let's meet the protector of the largest marine park in the country, Tubataha Reefs National Park,
00:06led by Mama Reef.
00:12Welcome to the underwater paradise.
00:15To continue the paradise under the water,
00:18there is a guardian and caretaker of this paradise,
00:22the Tubataha Marine Park Rangers.
00:25And their leader, Angelique Sonko, also known as Mama Ranger.
00:55Even in the middle of the night, patrols patrol the area.
00:58And even in a paradise underwater,
01:02there are still dangers.
01:06The tiger shark encounter more than 10 years ago,
01:10when it was close to me,
01:12I realized that it was a different kind of shark,
01:14not the usual one.
01:16I ran for a while,
01:18and I will never forget
01:20how close it was to me.
01:22I could see its teeth next to its body.
01:24I was afraid because it was a wild animal.
01:28For her, it was an amazing experience,
01:30her tiger shark encounter.
01:34Back then, Mama Ranger's bravery was already well-known.
01:38She served in the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
01:40and became a scuba diving master
01:42before applying as a reef ranger.
01:44It is really dangerous.
01:46To live in the sea for two months,
01:48and you need to patrol,
01:50you need to watch the whole area.
01:52It's a dangerous job.
01:54The story of life of a ranger in the sea,
01:56stay tuned.
01:58Last year,
02:00a group of reef rangers
02:02was awarded the International Ranger Award
02:04by the World Commission on Protected Areas.
02:06Of course, we were all happy.
02:08We were so proud.
02:10They made a huge sacrifice
02:12to protect the hectares of paradise
02:14under the sea.
02:16We patrolled at night,
02:18but we didn't know
02:20that the illegal divers
02:22were carrying guns.
02:26That was one of our problems.
02:28When we got home,
02:30here at the station,
02:32the weather was bad,
02:34and it was raining.
02:36But even if you are not a marine park ranger,
02:38you can still help
02:40the development
02:42of Tubbataha Reef Park.
02:44Take care of the oceans next to you.
02:46You are already part of it.
02:48The ocean is not fat.
02:50We share the same ocean.
02:52We salute Mama Ranger
02:54and all of her colleagues
02:56who are protecting the natural resources
02:58in our ocean.
03:00You are amazing earth humans.
