Aired (September 22, 2024): Buwaya na nasa dalawang dipa ang haba, nakorner sa isang sitio sa Palawan, nagpumiglas sa kalagitnaan ng pagdakip ng mga residente.
Samantala, ang mga bantay-dagat sa Sarangani Bay na nagpalipad ng drone, may nakitang buwaya na nasa 3 to 4 meters ang haba?!
Bakit nga ba tila palapit na nang palapit ang mga buwaya sa teritoryo ng tao?
Ang buong kuwento, panoorin sa video. #KMJS

00:00A few moments later,
00:04A riot broke out in the marabout area of Balabac, Palawan.
00:15When the residents were cornered,
00:18their houses were two floors away from each other.
00:21This man was so scared that he lifted the rope from his waist.
00:44But the rope
00:46suddenly disappeared and was chased by the residents.
01:01Where are you going?
01:04He ran in front of me.
01:10Will they be caught again?
01:13Or will they be the ones to attack?
01:20Their territory has long been invaded by people.
01:24That's why they look like Romer Resbach now.
01:30It all started while Redska was washing her face.
01:34I looked at the wall and I saw a fallen tree.
01:39She thought it was a tree, but it was actually a man.
01:43I shouted, man, man!
01:47That's why the neighbors were alarmed.
01:50Even though Balabac is known as the home of the man,
01:54this is the first time that a man has been caught in their area.
02:01They are far from the areas where the men are usually seen.
02:07I was so scared for the children.
02:09Why did they run away?
02:11The group of fishermen that Karling is counting,
02:16was very determined to catch him.
02:19They tied a rope around his head.
02:25When he was about to swim in the water,
02:28we pulled him aside.
02:30According to them, he was about 2 feet long.
02:34He could swallow a 14-year-old child.
02:39This man was not afraid of anything.
02:49Mano! Mano!
03:08When he was about to take off his clothes, he was surprised.
03:14The rope loosened and he suddenly got up.
03:17He ran in front of me.
03:28Those who were in the pool immediately got scared.
03:32Oh! Oh!
03:47I got scared immediately.
03:50The man who got scared ran towards the sea.
03:55Where is the man who got scared in Marabon?
04:04For several generations,
04:06the life of the people of Marabon
04:09revolved around the cultivation of seaweed or agar-agar in the sea.
04:13Now, they are in charge of the sea where they are looking for life.
04:19The man has arrived.
04:21We had a trauma here.
04:23Some were afraid of the sea.
04:25I was afraid.
04:26Our house is near the sea.
04:29I was afraid that he might come back here.
04:31We didn't know.
04:32According to the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office of Balaba,
04:36the man they saw was a saltwater crocodile.
04:40Maybe he came from different places.
04:43Maybe he didn't have enough food.
04:45That's why he was trapped there.
04:47Ever since the incident happened,
04:50Sally has always been with them
04:52whenever she planted agar-agar in the sea.
04:58They always have a rope or bamboo with them.
05:04But not only in Palawan,
05:05there was also a dead crocodile.
05:08Just last week,
05:09in Malapatan, Sarangani,
05:11while the sea guards were roving,
05:14they flew a drone
05:16and they were surprised by their video.
05:20It's not a fish,
05:21it's not a fish or a whale,
05:25but a crocodile
05:26that is estimated to be 3 to 4 meters long.
05:30Whenever I go fishing,
05:32I always see a crocodile here.
05:37They are aggressive.
05:38When they see a person,
05:40their head and back will be arched.
05:42It means that it's a crocodile.
05:46Next!
05:48Just last week,
05:49in Malapatan, Sarangani,
05:51while the sea guards were roving,
05:54they flew a drone
05:56and they were surprised by their video.
06:00It's not a fish,
06:01it's not a fish or a whale,
06:05but a crocodile
06:06that is estimated to be 3 to 4 meters long.
06:10It swims in the middle of Sarangani Bay.
06:13And when the drone tried to get closer,
06:16the crocodile
06:19sank.
06:21The video was captured by
06:22the Ecosystem Management Specialist
06:25of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office
06:28or PENRO
06:29of Sarangani, Garry.
06:31I wasn't surprised,
06:32but I was also curious
06:34why there was a crocodile here.
06:35We verified the drone footage
06:38with experts.
06:39It's a saltwater crocodile.
06:42They are aggressive.
06:43When people see them,
06:45their heads and backs will be arched.
06:47It means that it's a crocodile.
06:49Before the drone was able to capture
06:51the fisherman in the area,
06:53Mang Juyjuy,
06:54the crocodile was already face-to-face
06:57that he thought was just a piece of wood
07:00that was floating in the sea.
07:02When I was fishing,
07:04I saw it face-to-face.
07:06There was a crocodile here.
07:07I saw it there.
07:09When I saw it,
07:10I thought it was a crocodile.
07:12Of course, I was shocked
07:13because there are children
07:15swimming in the sea
07:16to catch the crocodile.
07:18And this is not the first time
07:20that a crocodile has been seen in Sarangani Bay.
07:22It was the first time
07:23that a crocodile was seen
07:25floating in the sea
07:27of General Santos City
07:29on August 27 and September 1.
07:32Yes, there it is.
07:34It's a crocodile.
07:35We will investigate
07:36what is the reason
07:37why they are here.
07:39We have protected area rangers
07:41to inform them
07:43that there are such sightings.
07:48Meanwhile,
07:49two weeks after the first encounter
07:52with the crocodile
07:53in the middle of the city of Marabon
07:56in Balabang, Palawan,
07:57it was seen again
07:59in their ocean.
08:01We were fishing.
08:03My mother said there was a crocodile there.
08:06There's a crocodile.
08:07I think it sank.
08:09The crocodile she spotted
08:11was already there with her.
08:13We were all panicking.
08:14The crocodile stopped us.
08:15We were close to many houses.
08:17We thought
08:18that crocodile
08:19might be the one we saw
08:20on July 30.
08:22The barangay leaders
08:23did their best
08:24to find the crocodile.
08:31But they were unable to find it.
08:33The crocodiles saw it.
08:34They reported it
08:35to the police
08:36and to the captains.
08:38According to the MENRO,
08:39Balabang's Municipal Environment
08:41and Natural Resources Office,
08:43there is a protocol
08:45if a crocodile is seen in the wild.
08:50They said
08:51to cover the crocodile's eyes
08:53so that they won't see it.
08:54But for me,
08:55it doesn't seem right.
09:00That's how it is.
09:01It depends on the crocodile.
09:02You should let it be
09:03if there is no authority
09:04so that it won't attack people.
09:06There are many populations of crocodiles.
09:08It's hard for them
09:09to find food.
09:10They come to the houses
09:11because there are many people
09:12who can feed them
09:13meat or fish.
09:14We plan to catch the crocodile
09:16and surrender it
09:18to Puerto Princesa
09:20and the crocodile farms.
09:23Just don't catch it.
09:25Just let it be.
09:26Don't touch it
09:27so that it won't attack people.
09:29That's how crocodiles are.
09:31If they see
09:32they will automatically report us
09:34to the authorities
09:36or the government
09:37to catch the crocodile.
09:40In the past few months,
09:42the sightings of crocodiles
09:44have been increasing.
09:46Even in places
09:47where they couldn't be seen before.
09:53Maybe,
09:54this is their way
09:55to let people know
09:57that this is happening
09:59to them as well.
10:01It's their territory as well.
