00:00It was not a storm or typhoon that brought severe fatigue to Boracay Island in Malay Aklan this week.

00:13But it was a storm that swept the whole island and it was very windy.

00:25It was the first time that we witnessed a storm in Boracay.

00:31How come in the paradise of tourists, there was a storm?

00:37Storm in Boracay?

00:40Storm! Storm!

00:43Just this morning, the hotel staff, including Marlon, noticed something strange in the sea.

00:55It's like a thorn. We're not sure.

00:58But as soon as it reached the shore, they were shocked.

01:05They confirmed that it's like a swimming pool for tourists.

01:13In their estimate, it's 8 feet long. It's bigger than a person.

01:21We were shocked and we were wondering why there's a pool here.

01:26Because we've been living here for a long time and this is the first time it happened.

01:30The barangay officials, the Philippine Coast Guard, the MDRRMO, or the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office,

01:39and the DENR, or the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, immediately headed to the area of Buaya.

01:47To rescue Buaya and keep the tourists away from the disaster, they caught it.

01:55They sautéed it with lambat.

01:59But it disappeared and sank into the water.

02:02It was going to the deep sea, but the waves pulled it back to the shore.

02:07So it couldn't swim.

02:09At that time, there were already 30 residents waiting in the middle of the sea,

02:15waiting for Buaya to sink.

02:19At the end of Baibay, it swam back and forth.

02:21If there were many people at the end, it would go back to the other end.

02:25That's why we chased it.

02:27Until it surfaced again.

02:30It was only a few meters away from where it first saw the light.

02:35They caught it and sautéed it.

02:40At first, they had a hard time catching it because their lambat was small.

02:45But Buaya survived.

02:50So the fisherman, Jimmy, borrowed his lambat.

02:54We used a lot of material to make the lambat bigger.

02:58We put it far away so it wouldn't disappear in the water.

03:01So we could see where to put the lambat.

03:04Then they slowly pulled Buaya into the sea.

03:09We didn't feel scared.

03:11We were just chasing it.

03:13When Buaya reached the shore,

03:16the tricycle driver, Efren,

03:19pulled it hard to tie its mouth.

03:22Maybe three days after it surfaced,

03:25I went to Buaya and tied its mouth.

03:29The body was dirty.

03:32It seemed to have been in the water for a long time.

03:34It didn't have any wounds.

03:36It was in good condition.

03:38But maybe because of the strong waves,

03:40it seemed to be weakening.

03:42And so that it wouldn't swim,

03:44they covered it with a blanket.

03:46The tied Buaya was put on a stretcher

03:49and brought to the office of the City Environment and Natural Resources of Malay,

03:55which is located on the other side of the island.

03:57Buaya was named Crocodylus porosus or Saltwater Crocodile.

04:04It is now in the care of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office or CENRO of Malay.

04:11Its size is 250 cm or 2.5 meters.

04:16Its width is 25.5 cm.

04:21Its weight is 50 to 60 kg.

04:25Saltwater crocodiles really live in the ocean

04:30or maybe in rivers or lakes connected to the sea.

04:35But here on the island of Boracay,

04:39they have just seen it in the sea.

04:42Buaya!

04:44Buaya!

04:46This is the first time and it's really unexpected.

04:49It's a very rare occurrence on the island of Boracay.

04:53So it's still worth thinking about where it came from.

04:57If we look at the wind direction,

05:00since it's long,

05:02we can see that it was originated in Mindoro, Romblon, or Palawan

05:07where there are crocodile populations.

05:09Or because of the flood, their cubs were able to come out.

05:14But as of now, there are still no reported claims of Buaya.

05:20Meanwhile, because of the Buaya sighting on the island of Boracay,

05:25there are some residents and tourists who are afraid to go near the sea.

05:29We are afraid of our safety.

05:33But should they be worried?

05:36The island of Boracay is safe.

05:39All of our guardians on the island of Boracay are on high alert

05:44to maintain the safety of all swimmers.

05:48At the tip of Habagat and Nicarina,

05:52they saw a crocodile

05:55and it went viral.

05:57Meanwhile, in Boracay,

06:00for the first time,

06:02they saw Buaya.

06:03Buaya!

06:05Buaya!

06:07Apparently, there are unusual things that we can still witness.

06:14Buaya!

06:16Buaya!
