00:00Do you like to take a bath in the river, especially when it's hot?
00:05Be careful!
00:06And maybe in your river, you'll find...
00:12A snake!
00:17You're a child of a snake!
00:18The snake sighting is also a hot topic online.
00:21The question is, where is the river in Mangkayayan?
00:23And the more important question is, why are the snakes in the river?
00:31We can see that these snakes are still juveniles or babies.
00:36Maybe it's in the river because it's brackish water.
00:39Snakes can live in brackish water, especially when they're still young.
00:44And here, we caught four of them.
00:47It's scary that they keep swimming in the river.
00:49Sir, two!
00:51It's not just the fish caught in Pangpang that quickly went viral.
00:56Next to them are these young snakes.
01:01From the sea, they're also a summer getaway in the rivers of Bulacan.
01:11In these pictures taken in Alumpit, Bulacan,
01:14you can see the male snake that was caught by the snakes.
01:19Rex's fish from Hagonoy is not just one.
01:25There are three.
01:27And those three are both babies.
01:31In the photos, it's more likely a bull shark.
01:34It's a juvenile.
01:36In the video, in the top portion,
01:39you can see it in the brackish area.
01:42In the more inland area, you can see the bull shark more frequently.
01:47That's what babies are called.
01:49They're called pups.
01:51They were born in the rivers.
01:56From the sea, they're also a summer getaway in the rivers of Bulacan.
02:05There are over 200 species of sharks in the country.
02:08Some of the well-known species are the whale shark,
02:12the treasure shark,
02:15the great hammerhead shark,
02:19and the famous and feared great white shark.
02:25This is where Rex's shark encounter happened in February.
02:28They fished in the rivers of Laguio using a net.
02:32But when the net was lifted,
02:34they caught something unexpected.
02:37What kind of fish did you expect to catch?
02:40We caught a few shrimps,
02:43and a few prawns at 6am.
02:46But we tried to catch something,
02:50and we saw a shark.
02:54What was your reaction?
02:56We were surprised because it was just a river,
02:59and there was a shark like that.
03:01In their everyday activities, this kind of opportunity is rare.
03:05What did you do to the three sharks?
03:07We let them go.
03:08I don't know if they're still alive because they're weak.
03:12And you can't sell them like that.
03:14Very good, Rex.
03:17Remember, we have laws like the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act
03:21that protects endangered and vulnerable species
03:24against exploitation, hunting, and trade.
03:27Shark finning is also prohibited
03:30under Republic Act No. 8550.
03:33Sharks also play a big role in our marine ecosystem
03:37because they regulate the population of other marine species.
03:41So let's not kill them.
03:42Let's go back to how the residents of Bulacan were able to go to the river.
03:46According to Rex, the catch of the river is close to the sea.
03:51The difference between the bull sharks
03:54is that they enter the freshwater to breed.
03:59They leave their babies in the shallow portions of the river
04:04to grow.
04:06Predators are few there.
04:08If you're outing, you're swimming now.
04:11At the beach.
04:12You'll see sharks.
04:13What will you do?
04:15I'll run.
04:16You'll run?
04:17I don't know how to run.
04:18How will you run at the beach?
04:20They're sharks.
04:21Sharks.
04:23They'll swim.
04:24They'll swim.
04:25You know a lot, Kim.
04:27Should we be afraid of the so-called events?
04:30What we'll do is be careful.
04:32If there's a sighting,
04:34so if you see something coming near you,
04:36stay calm,
04:37stay away as normal as possible.
04:40You won't trigger the excitement of the water.
04:45The movement of the water can trigger an attack.
04:49If you're caught by a shark,
04:51usually, in rivers, they're small.
04:54Let's just go back.
04:55Because we know that sharks are also small.
05:00It's a blessing to catch a lot of good fish.
05:03But sometimes,
05:04the blessing of water needs to be returned to nature
05:07so that we can also benefit.
05:10Let's go back, Kim.
