00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.

00:10We will see the heart of the ocean of an island nation in Oceania, where the largest coral reef in the world was once discovered.

00:19Almost 5,000 kilometers from the Philippines, you can find a country that is also considered a paradise.

00:27The 1,000 islands that are formed here are also inhabited by the rich.

00:31This is Solomon Islands.

00:36And as proof of how rich this nature is, it was once discovered in the heart of the ocean that it is now considered the largest coral in the world.

00:44The natural coral is 111 feet wide, 104 feet long, and 18 feet high.

00:49And it is even bigger than the biggest animal in the world, the blue whale.

00:57This Solomon Islands is very rich.

00:59And this time, it is also bigger than the former record holder, Big Mama, which can be found in the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa.

01:07Kuya Kim, are the corals under the water?

01:11Kuya Kim, come on!

01:14Even though they look like plants that give color under the sea, do you know that corals are not plants but animals?

01:20Corals are formed by small plankton-eating invertebrates called polyps.

01:26They are called cnidarians.

01:28They are the offspring of dikya and sea anemone.

01:30Small polyps grow and multiply until they form a symbiotic relationship with other corals, which they form in coral reefs.

01:39We Filipinos also have a large coral reef, the Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro, which is one of the largest contiguous coral reefs in the country.

01:46It is also the second largest in the world.

01:49But did you know that when corals are stressed, their bright colors disappear?

01:59When corals are stressed due to the change in the temperature of the water,

02:02UV rays and pollution are too bright, which is exposed by su-san-ti-le.

02:08A type of algae or fungus causes its color to turn white.

02:12This is called coral bleaching.

02:14Coral bleaching is also a result of climate change.

02:17So, to protect the corals that serve as home for so many fish,

02:22we should be responsible when diving or snorkeling in the sea.

02:26Recycling and throwing garbage in the right place should be done.

02:29Even minimizing the use of fertilizers is already a big help for them.

02:35Meanwhile, to watch the trivia behind the news,

02:38just post or comment with the hashtag Kuya Kim Ano Na?

02:42Always remember, the important thing is to know.

02:44I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
