00:00I'm still sleepy, but I need to get up and look for breakfast.

00:18This is a group of Philippine long-tailed macaques.

00:22They say it's hard for long-tailed macaques to find food.

00:33That's why some of the leaves are crushed.

00:42They say it's time for the trees to bear fruit.

00:48But this is not the only problem of the long-tailed macaques.

00:55The marks left by their amazing journey are also noticeable.

01:10In the city of Indanan, Sulu,

01:12the long-tailed macaques' favorite place is the beautiful part of Kubat.

01:19But while we were observing the long-tailed macaques,

01:23I noticed something.

01:25There's a hose.

01:27Oh my gosh!

01:29It's bleeding.

01:31It's so pitiful.

01:33A long-tailed macaque has a tight rope.

01:37It's pitiful because it's so deep.

01:47The long-term effects of this is that when they grow up,

01:50their tail will be damaged.

02:01I feel so frustrated that I can't do anything.

02:04I can't help the long-tailed macaques.

02:08But our position is dangerous

02:11because the long-tailed macaques and our team may fall off the cliff.

02:17I don't know how we can retrieve the long-tailed macaques.

02:20If the long-tailed macaques falls, it will be an injury.

02:24In this situation, I can't help the long-tailed macaques.

02:35In Panamau, Sulu,

02:37I met Meme,

02:41George,

02:44and Quick-Quick.

02:47There are three monkeys that take care of the long-tailed macaques.

02:53The monkeys have been taking care of the long-tailed macaques for a long time.

02:58Sir, are you the one who takes care of the monkeys?

03:02Yes, sir.

03:03Do you adopt them?

03:04Yes, sir.

03:05When I was there,

03:08the monkeys were still young,

03:11almost two or three months old.

03:15Of course, they were afraid of their mother.

03:20She left them and they couldn't run away.

03:23That was during the war.

03:25Because of the bullets, they were left behind.

03:29The monkeys were among those who were affected by the war in Sulu.

03:35After the war,

03:38they went down to the community to look for food.

03:44Sometimes, they risked their lives.

03:52The monkeys were usually taken care of when they were young.

03:56And when they grew up and became aggressive,

04:04they were often left behind.

04:09But not in all situations,

04:13they were able to survive and return to the community.

04:19In Sulu,

04:21one of the monkeys' soldiers

04:25did not have a facility for animals that were sick and unable to be taken care of.

04:33Meme is the oldest of the three monkeys that Johnny is taking care of.

04:39They have repeatedly abandoned him in the jungle.

04:43We abandoned all of them.

04:45We left them in the jungle.

04:47We were far away from them.

04:49We saw that they were following us and they were able to return to the camp.

04:53Now, the Provincial Environment, Natural Resources and Energy Office, or PENREO,

05:01allows the monkeys to remain in the camp.

05:06When it comes to our protocols for the wildlife,

05:10our office assesses the status of the wildlife.

05:15For example, if there are monkeys that we do not release to the wild,

05:19we let their owners keep them.

05:22We just tell them to be careful.

05:26But a reminder for everyone.

05:29According to the law,

05:31monkeys are not allowed to be taken care of and other animals.

05:37There is a lack of permit or document before the authorities issue it.

05:42If the monkeys are released to the wild,

05:45it is possible that it will lead to negative interactions with people.

05:48They have a site fidelity where they return to the places where they were taken care of.

05:55Because of this, they will forage for food in communities or nearby crops.

06:02In these situations, the farmers are affected.

06:05Monkeys can be injured or killed.

06:11I noticed that they lack nutrition and vitamins.

06:15So I'm going to give them some deworming and vitamins.

06:23They lack water.

06:26We need to give them water.

06:29If I lift their skin like this,

06:32when I release them, their skin should immediately fall off.

06:45Aside from the three monkeys,

06:48there is another animal that experienced a cut in its tail.

06:54Moimoy has been missing for almost three months or two months.

06:59His body is weak.

07:02His body is weak and his tail is broken.

07:07Because Moimoy is weak,

07:09he cannot be left behind by the soldiers in the jungle.

07:13That is why they were forced to bring him back to the camp.

07:16I pricked his tail.

07:19There are bones that came out.

07:21I brought him here to take advantage of trying to repair it.

07:25We will operate on him.

07:27We will remove the broken bone.

07:29Then we will close his skin.

07:32I will just give him a painkiller.

07:35We are preparing the tail for partial amputation.

07:41It is very important to repair this.

07:46When I touched it, it was very painful.

07:49Because of the stump of his bone,

07:53it was difficult to heal.

07:55It was difficult to heal.

08:02For now, Moimoy is safe and fully recovered

08:07because of the people who took care of him.

08:20Thank you so much for watching Born to be Wild.
