Into the dark and the deep

Episode on January 23, 2008
Wednesday late night after Saksi


This Wednesday, Born to be Wild goes into the dark and the deep to encounter creatures rarely seen by humans.

Doc Ferds explores the mystical Bathala Cave in Marinduque Island which is home to huge python snakes. Deep inside the cave, he studies reptile behavior and discovers why these creatures chose this cavern as their shelter.

In a province long-exploited by mining activities, Bathala Cave remains one of the last few sanctuaries for wildlife.

Meanwhile, Romi goes deep into the sea to explore a marine protected area in Handumon, Bohol. Because of the community's efforts, the area, once called a "cemetery" by the locals, now boasts of a diverse and colorful underwater world.

Even the rare seahorse finds shelter, thrives, and breeds in these rich waters.

Go deep into nature's wonders with Born to be Wild this Wednesday, after Saksi.



Ngayong Miyerkules, sasabak sa madilim at malalim na mga lugar sina Doc Ferds at Romi para makaharap ang mga maiilap na nilalang.

Isang kwebang kung tawagin ay "Bathala Cave" sa isla ng Marinduque ang papasukin ni Doc Ferds. Sa loob ng kwebang ito nakatira ang mga naglalakihang ahas na python.

Sa kadilim-diliman ng kweba, pag-aaralan niya ang mga reptilyang ito para matuklasan ang kanilang buhay sa wild. Sa isang probinsyang matagal nang apektado ng pagmimina, isa na lamang ang Bathala Cave sa mga di nagagalaw na tirahan ng wildlife.

Susuungin naman ni Romi ang kailaliman ng dagat ng Bohol, na tinatawag na isang "marine protected area." Ang islang dating tinatawag na "sementeryo" ng mga residente dahil sa tila walang buhay nitong katubigan. Ngayon nga ay pamoso na para sa mayaman nitong buhay dagat.

Pati nga ang mailap na mga seahorse, dito nabubuhay at nagpaparami. Lahat ng ito ay dahil na rin sa pagsisikap ng komunidad.

Pasukin ang madilim, malalim, at nakamamanghang mundo ng wildlife sa Born to be Wild ngayong Miyerkules, pagkatapos ng Saksi.
