00:00I'm still sleepy, but I need to get up and look for breakfast.
00:18This is a group of Philippine long-tailed macaques.
00:22They say it's hard for long-tailed macaques to find food.
00:33That's why some of the leaves are crushed.
00:42They say it's time for the trees to bear fruit.
00:48But this is not the only problem of the long-tailed macaques.
00:55The marks left by their amazing journey are also noticeable.
01:10In the city of Indanan, Sulu,
01:12the long-tailed macaques' favorite place is the beautiful part of Kubat.
01:19But while we were observing the long-tailed macaques,
01:23I noticed something.
01:25There's a hose.
01:27Oh my gosh!
01:29It's bleeding.
01:31It's so pitiful.
01:33A long-tailed macaque has a tight rope.
01:37It's pitiful because it's so deep.
01:47The long-term effects of this is that when they grow up,
01:50their tail will be damaged.
02:01I feel so frustrated that I can't do anything.
02:04I can't help the long-tailed macaques.
02:08But our position is dangerous
02:11because the long-tailed macaques and our team may fall off the cliff.
02:17I don't know how we can retrieve the long-tailed macaques.
02:20If the long-tailed macaques falls, it will be an injury.
02:24In this situation, I can't help the long-tailed macaques.
02:35In Panamau, Sulu,
02:37I met Meme,
02:41George,
02:44and Quick-Quick.
02:47There are three monkeys that take care of the long-tailed macaques.
02:53The monkeys have been taking care of the long-tailed macaques for a long time.
02:58Sir, are you the one who takes care of the monkeys?
03:02Yes, sir.
03:03Do you adopt them?
03:04Yes, sir.
03:05When I was there,
03:08the monkeys were still young,
03:11almost two or three months old.
03:15Of course, they were afraid of their mother.
03:20She left them and they couldn't run away.
03:23That was during the war.
03:25Because of the bullets, they were left behind.
03:29The monkeys were among those who were affected by the war in Sulu.
03:35After the war,
03:38they went down to the community to look for food.
03:44Sometimes, they risked their lives.
03:52The monkeys were usually taken care of when they were young.
03:56And when they grew up and became aggressive,
04:04they were often left behind.
04:09But not in all situations,
04:13they were able to survive and return to the community.
04:19In Sulu,
04:21one of the monkeys' soldiers
04:25did not have a facility for animals that were sick and unable to be taken care of.
04:33Meme is the oldest of the three monkeys that Johnny is taking care of.
04:39They have repeatedly abandoned him in the jungle.
04:43We abandoned all of them.
04:45We left them in the jungle.
04:47We were far away from them.
04:49We saw that they were following us and they were able to return to the camp.
04:53Now, the Provincial Environment, Natural Resources and Energy Office, or PENREO,
05:01allows the monkeys to remain in the camp.
05:06When it comes to our protocols for the wildlife,
05:10our office assesses the status of the wildlife.
05:15For example, if there are monkeys that we do not release to the wild,
05:19we let their owners keep them.
05:22We just tell them to be careful.
05:26But a reminder for everyone.
05:29According to the law,
05:31monkeys are not allowed to be taken care of and other animals.
05:37There is a lack of permit or document before the authorities issue it.
05:42If the monkeys are released to the wild,
05:45it is possible that it will lead to negative interactions with people.
05:48They have a site fidelity where they return to the places where they were taken care of.
05:55Because of this, they will forage for food in communities or nearby crops.
06:02In these situations, the farmers are affected.
06:05Monkeys can be injured or killed.
06:11I noticed that they lack nutrition and vitamins.
06:15So I'm going to give them some deworming and vitamins.
06:23They lack water.
06:26We need to give them water.
06:29If I lift their skin like this,
06:32when I release them, their skin should immediately fall off.
06:45Aside from the three monkeys,
06:48there is another animal that experienced a cut in its tail.
06:54Moimoy has been missing for almost three months or two months.
06:59His body is weak.
07:02His body is weak and his tail is broken.
07:07Because Moimoy is weak,
07:09he cannot be left behind by the soldiers in the jungle.
07:13That is why they were forced to bring him back to the camp.
07:16I pricked his tail.
07:19There are bones that came out.
07:21I brought him here to take advantage of trying to repair it.
07:25We will operate on him.
07:27We will remove the broken bone.
07:29Then we will close his skin.
07:32I will just give him a painkiller.
07:35We are preparing the tail for partial amputation.
07:41It is very important to repair this.
07:46When I touched it, it was very painful.
07:49Because of the stump of his bone,
07:53it was difficult to heal.
07:55It was difficult to heal.
08:02For now, Moimoy is safe and fully recovered
08:07because of the people who took care of him.
08:20Thank you so much for watching Born to be Wild.
