00:00An underwater photographer in Batangas was able to capture an octopus attached to a candy wrapper.
00:07There is also an octopus attached to a toothbrush.
00:09These are signs of a growing problem in the garbage in the ocean.
00:15Vona Kino has a report.
00:22An octopus in Hanau Bay in Anilaw, Batangas.
00:25An underwater photographer, Wayne Jones, was able to capture an octopus when he went diving on January 25.
00:31Wayne noticed something different about the nautilus, which is often attached to candy wrappers.
00:37It was a paper nautilus on a plastic wrapper.
00:42I don't think it's harmful to the actual paper nautilus,
00:47but it just represents the situation of the amount of plastics that are in the ocean.
00:55Aside from the plastic wrapper, the nautilus also attached to the toothbrush.
00:58In a separate dive, Wayne also saw plastic attached to a seahorse.
01:04According to the Ocean Conservancy, 8 million metric tons of plastic is thrown into the ocean every year.
01:11According to UNESCO, 80% of marine pollution is plastic, which often does not dissolve or last long before disappearing.
01:19The estimated 75 to 199 million tons of plastic can currently be found in the oceans according to the United Nations Environment Program.
01:29What matters is that 36% of the plastics in the world's oceans come from the Philippines.
01:37All I can do is take images and share them.
01:41It's not just a local issue, it's a national, global issue.
01:49And so that's why everyone needs to get on board and pressure their governments to do something about what is happening.
01:59The DENR has estuaries and river rangers who clean the garbage in the waterways.
02:05The agency named them and introduced them earlier.
02:09Your work is more than defending and removing garbage.
02:14This is a powerful declaration of hope and tolerance.
02:22The DENR also urged communities to move because conservation of nature is not just the duty of some.
02:29Conservation of nature is not just a job, but a responsibility that is part of our civilization and culture.

02:42One of the largest saltwater crocodiles in the Philippines, Pangir, has been caught.
02:47In China, a mermaid performer's head was stung by a large fish.
02:52Joseph Moro has this report.
02:58It's very graceful that this mermaid performer is swimming in an aquarium in a theme park in Yunnan province in China.
03:05They approached a large fish that the sturgeon lost and stung it.
03:11He immediately took off his goggles.
03:16The mermaid performer was saved, but the 22-year-old Russian suffered a head, neck, and eye injury.
03:23The children who watched the show heard the fear and scream.
03:27According to the report, the company paid the performer 5,000 pesos as damages.
03:32The sturgeon is a freshwater giant that can grow up to 20 feet and sometimes attacks people.
03:41In Iloilo City, breathing can be stopped when rescuing a dog.
03:47The group of children helped to rescue the dog that fell into the canal.
03:52According to the uploader, he was just walking around the area and saw the white insides of the children who jumped into the dog that was in a good place.
04:00One of the largest saltwater crocodiles in the Philippines, Pangir, died due to organ failure due to spread of cancer.
04:08Despite this, he underwent medical and surgical intervention.
04:12Pangir has been in the care of Davao Crocodile Park and Zoo for several years.
04:16Joseph Morong reports for GMA Integrated News.
04:21The body was found in the Vienna City Library Archives in Austria.
04:26A handwritten letter was discovered by Dr. Jose Rizal.
04:30The handwritten letter was published on June 18, 1887 for the Austrian journalist Johann Nordmann.
04:38Rizal mentioned his novel No Limitangere.
04:42Rizal's comment was also included in his Delightful Novel, which was given to him by Nordmann.
04:48Rizal also signed it.
04:50The body was discovered in September 2023.
04:53It was later presented to the public by the Vice President of the Austro-Philippine Society.
04:59Rizal's body can now be accessed from the website of the Vienna City Library.
05:13Are you excited for the Twin Hike in Mountain Province where you can get the best view of the Hagdang-Hagdang Palayan?
05:19Let's check out Raffi Tima's report.
05:22The beautiful view of the mountains surrounded by the mountains of Mountain Province, Maligong Rice Terraces.
05:31What will impress you is the beautiful construction of the rice terraces.
05:37It's like an engineering marvel.
05:39As an architect, I appreciate how they did it.
05:43The carvings of the terraces are so beautiful.
05:47The view of Mount Kupape can be seen when you climb it.
05:52It's not too cloudy, but there's a chance that it will be surrounded by thick fog and sea of clouds.
06:02Mount Fatu is steeper and more rocky.
06:05Up to Tuktuk, there's a rock formation.
06:08The Twin Hike is sure that even beginners can do it.
06:11Beside the beauty, you need to respect and learn everyone's traditions and rules.
06:17And most importantly, you will really enjoy it.
06:19Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.
