“Clearing the Coast" (A Born to be Wild special coverage)

Episode on September 23, 2009
Wednesday night, after Saksi


Each year in September, groups of people flock to the shores for a common purpose. Wearing shorts and wetsuits and carrying bags and tongs, they head out to the beach – not to swim or sunbathe – but to clean up the coast.

It’s coastal clean up month once again and the “wild boys" are off to another mission. This time, three adventurers hit the eco-trail. Doc Ferds Recio and Kiko Rustia are joined by non-other than fellow “wild man" Romi Garduce for an all-out clean-up of the ocean. Deployed to different coastal areas, they take part in making the seas a little bit cleaner, and a little bit safer for its residents.

They also trace the roots of the coastal problem and investigate the different sources of pollution in the water. What they find are shocking and challenging realities which will continue to threaten our seas long after each clean-up is done.

Don’t miss this special episode of Born to be Wild airing on Wednesday after Saksi!


Bawat taon sa pagsapit ng Setyembre, grupo-grupong lumalarga ang mga tao para sa iisang hangarin. Suot ang mga wetsuit at pambasa, at dala-dala ang kani-kaniyang mga supot, sabay-sabay silang lulusong sa dagat, hindi para magtampisaw, kundi para linisin ito!

Coastal clean-up month na naman mga Kapuso. At hindi naman magpapahuli ang ating mga “wild boys". Kasama pa ngayon nina Doc Ferds Recio at Kiko Rustia ang kapwa "wild man" na si Romi Garduce para sabay-sabay na linisin ang karagatan.

Pero ano nga ba ang mga mas malalim pang isyu sa likod ng pagkakaroon ng maraming basura at polusyon sa dagat? Susundan nina Doc, Kiko at Romi ang iba’t ibang pinanggagalingan ng polusyon at basura upang ipakita kung paano ang mga ito nakararating at nakapipinsala sa ating katubigan.

Manood at mamulat sa isa na namang kakaibang adventure ng Born to be Wild ngayong Miyerkules pagkatapos ng Saksi!
