00:00
We have already met a few male Cobra Hunters here in our program.
00:06
But let's put that aside for now, because a woman in Tarlac is the star of the show.
00:12
Let's meet Princess Tuklau.
00:15
Her brave search and rescue in the wilds is directed by Athena Impreal.
00:27
Is there someone lurking around you?
00:30
Is there someone you're looking for?
00:33
And a secret weapon to protect herself?
00:39
The Lurking Snakes!
00:43
If you encounter one of these snakes,
00:52
you should know how to scream.
00:55
Because Princess Tuklau is here to rescue you!
00:58
We have also met a few Snake Rescuers in our show.
01:13
We have met the Cobra Prince of San Pablo, Laguna.
01:20
And our friends Boss Lar and Zuma, the King Snakes of Tarlac.
01:25
But this job is not only for males.
01:29
In Tarlac, I met the Snake Whisperer, Princess Garcia, aka Princess Tuklau.
01:36
We are now here at Concepcion, Tarlac.
01:42
We will go to what they call the "Rescue of the Snakes".
01:47
Let's go!
01:50
Hi Princess! I'm Athena.
01:53
I'm the Rescue of the Snakes.
01:56
Princess Tuklau showed me each of the safety gear she uses when she has rescue operations.
02:04
This is what I use for my feet.
02:08
This is a Cobra Horn.
02:11
This is also for my feet.
02:14
So that it won't hurt my feet.
02:16
This is a rod for the snake.
02:19
This is for the tail.
02:21
And this is for the snake's tail.
02:24
This is the most important thing for us.
02:26
This is for detecting snakes.
02:28
Of course, you can't use this for your hands.
02:31
You should use it for your feet.
02:33
This is what we use for our feet.
02:35
This is the most important thing for us.
02:37
For detecting snakes.
02:38
This is a snake clamp.
02:42
When the snake's tail falls, we use this to hold it.
02:47
Is this really for your hands or you improvise?
02:50
Where do you use this?
02:52
For the snake's tail.
02:54
For the tail of the snake.
02:57
Then we put this inside the snake's tail.
03:00
Inside the snake's tail.
03:02
Yes, inside the snake's tail.
03:03
Because the snake can breathe here.
03:05
Ah, okay.
03:06
And they are safe here.
03:07
Instead of a bag.
03:08
Yes.
03:09
It's hot, it's a bag.
03:10
And it's easy to get a botox.
03:13
Like this.
03:14
Oh, you do this.
03:17
Yes.
03:18
So that when you spit, it won't hit your eyes.
03:21
Safety goggles.
03:24
Really?
03:25
Are there any chances that you really get spit?
03:29
Yes.
03:30
Many times.
03:32
Oh, really?
03:33
If it hits your eyes, it's a big problem.
03:36
You should try it.
03:37
You should try it?
03:38
Yes, I get spit.
03:40
What do you do to get it?
03:42
Just wash it?
03:43
Just wash it.
03:44
But it's hot.
03:45
Yes, it's hot.
03:46
So to prevent your eyes from getting splashed, you wear gloves.
03:51
Yes, like a rider.
03:52
Yes, like a rider.
03:53
This is how I do it.
03:54
Ah, okay.
03:55
What is this?
03:56
It's a glove.
03:57
It's called gloves.
03:58
Gloves, too.
03:59
You need to cover your hands.
04:03
Your hands are protected.
04:06
This is a flashlight for your eyes.
04:09
So that we can see the basement.
04:13
Can we use the ordinary flashlights for emergencies?
04:18
The ones that are in the emergency kits at home.
04:20
The ones that are in the emergency kits at home.
04:21
Yes, we can.
04:22
Yes, we can.
04:23
It's more convenient and clearer.
04:24
Their safety gear is always ready when they need help.
04:34
Today, Princess Duclao is preparing for a rescue operation.
04:39
In her vlogs, she talks to the cobras.
04:46
Can the cobra be calm?
04:48
If it doesn't move around too much.
04:51
It doesn't move?
04:52
Yes, and we have a connection to the ice.
04:56
So that it can be calm.
04:59
If it moves, I'll just poke it.
05:04
But if it's too much, there's a connection.
05:14
Good morning, guys.
05:15
Princess Duclao is back again to upload a new vlog.
05:18
As a woman, many are questioning her ability and courage as a cobra rescuer.
05:26
You said that you really want to rescue a cobra.
05:29
You've been interested in it since you were 13 years old.
05:33
Did anything discriminate you from doing this job?
05:36
Because you're a woman.
05:38
A lot of things, especially to my viewers.
05:41
Why is your job like that?
05:43
You're a woman, a cobra.
05:45
Why don't you look for a good job?
05:48
I was hurt because I don't have anything to do.
05:54
I just sleep.
05:56
I love what I do.
05:58
It's like a mentor to me.
06:01
I help my female colleagues.
06:04
Princess is a young girl, but she already knows a lot about cobras.
06:10
Her father, Rodrigo, is also a snake rescuer.
06:14
When I was 5 years old, I saw a cobra for the first time.
06:18
So, because you were exposed to it, and that's what your father does,
06:25
that's what you're interested in, right?
06:27
Yes, and he's not with us in the rescue.
06:31
We're just a team of two, me and my brother.
06:36
We're just a team.
06:38
How did you start to be interested in rescuing cobras?
06:45
I was with my neighbors.
06:49
I was with them when they were looking for a cobra.
06:53
When they were looking for a cobra, I was the one who caught it.
06:58
Rod's father is also very proud of his son, Princess.
07:02
I'm stopping him, but he's better than me.
07:04
Princess taught me.
07:06
If we say there's a cobra there, even if there's a lot of wood,
07:09
it will happen.
07:10
Because there are two.
07:12
He's good at spotting.
07:14
Even in the open space, I lose.
07:16
I can see the open space from the inside, but from the outside, I have a hard time.
07:23
That's what I'm trying to do from the outside.
07:26
Princess doesn't stop when they have to rescue the cobras.
07:30
Some of their safety gear are donations from those who support them.
07:35
Meanwhile, they also earn money by vlogging their rescue missions.
07:42
[music]
07:54
Princess says that it's not easy to catch and rescue the cobras.
07:59
When we're rescuing, our energy is low.
08:02
Because if we catch it, it's hard.
08:05
And if that happens, you're not going anywhere in the community.
08:09
Yes, we're so far away.
08:12
We were helotipped.
08:14
We're still in the mountains.
08:15
Our visit to Princess was also perfect because they have a trip to the mountains.
08:20
To see Princess in action, we accompanied them.
08:25
Princess, is this the place?
08:27
Yes, this is the mountain.
08:30
The mountain.
08:31
After a few hours,
08:37
we're here in an area in the mountains, in Concepcion, Tanlac.
08:42
This is where the cobra is found.
08:44
I hope Princess can find the snake that they saw here.
08:49
What did you see here?
08:51
What are those, Pars?
08:53
Brown rat snake.
08:54
A non-ferroman snake.
08:57
This is the one.
08:59
Where is it?
09:00
It has a different tail.
09:02
Oh, it's skin.
09:04
How long does it take to shed its skin?
09:07
It takes about one week.
09:10
One week is six days.
09:12
It depends on the smell.
09:16
Does it have a smell?
09:17
Yes.
09:18
Maybe you're not used to it.
09:22
Does it get allergic?
09:24
No.
09:25
What does it smell like?
09:26
It means that it doesn't have a smell.
09:28
It's been around for a long time.
09:31
It just passed by to leave.
09:35
What does it smell like when it's just shed its skin?
09:38
It smells like dead rats.
09:43
That's how it is with us.
09:45
Okay.
09:46
So it means that it's just around when it smells like that.
09:51
Yes, it's just around.
09:53
But when it's like that, it's gone.
09:57
It's gone.
09:58
Even though we were not lucky enough to find and rescue a cobra in this place,
10:02
what's important is that the people living here are safe.
10:07
It's been a long time since it rescued a snake.
10:11
Luckily, the princess is still alive.
10:15
According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
10:20
what the princess is doing is dangerous.
10:23
Animal rescuers need to have enough knowledge about wild animals.
10:30
The snakes that the princess is rescuing are being ensured to be safe
10:36
and released to a place far from people and their homes.
10:40
But the DNR has a reminder.
10:43
This is what we call the Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Act.
10:49
So they need to go through the technical matters about how to rescue our wildlife in our area.
11:01
Like the snakes and cobras that we know are damaging our environment
11:13
or the community level of our people.
11:17
Sir, do you have a protocol for rescuing snakes?
11:22
They need to have proper accreditation.
11:27
But as of this time, there are no parameters on those things.
11:32
To ensure the proper coordination of the group with the government,
11:36
we also brought Princess Tuklau to the nearest office of the DNR for their accreditation.
11:44
But Sir, there are no police officers yet.
11:50
We don't have a police officer yet but it's a good idea to have an accreditation.
11:54
If someone gets caught, is it okay for them to surrender here?
12:01
Or they can just leave the place where there are no people?
12:08
They should surrender here officially.
12:10
Because we are already doing that here. Many people have surrendered to us.
12:15
Not only snakes and cobras, we also received other wildlife.
12:22
We are just bringing them to our rescue center.
12:25
If you get caught by the snakes here, can they be caught even on weekends?
12:29
Just call us.
12:31
Princess Tuklau's courage and bravery to ensure the safety of animals and humans is very impressive.
12:40
But let me remind you, don't just imitate this because you need proper knowledge and training for this.
