00:00Not Jezebel, and especially not Ariel, are the only visitors to an ocean park in Cebu.
00:15The underwater performer is a male mermaid.
00:21Kuya Kim, what now?
00:24Before the smiley faces in Cebu, the ocean park is full of visitors.
00:32Not fish, but a...
00:34Merman!
00:35Yes, the male version of mermaid or siren.
00:38Meet Jan Clark, a.k.a. Merman Clark, the guardian of the ocean.
00:44Clark is a member of a group of professional mermaids who participate in events.
00:48He made a viral video when they went to Cebu.
00:52We went to Cebu Ocean Park to showcase our skills, creativity, and artistry underwater.
00:57Clark is an employee of a technology company.
00:59But in 2023, he came up with a new hobby.
01:02When I started freediving, I said, I want to try being a merman.
01:06Because I want something different.
01:07I enjoyed it more.
01:08My goal is to break the stereotype.
01:10He says he achieved it.
01:11It's nice to feel that the kids come to me.
01:14They wave, they have hearts.
01:16They saw that someone became a merman.
01:18Mermaids are known as mermaids in the sea with a human head and upper body.
01:22And a fish tail.
01:23Almost all continents in the world have a version of these mermaids.
01:26Some even believe that their appearance is a bad omen.
01:30Because they are often associated with tragedies in the ocean.
01:34But not one of the most famous mermaids in the world.
01:37The Little Mermaid, a Danish author named Hans Christian Andersen.
01:42But did you know that there is one mermaid in our ocean that is often mistaken for a mermaid?
01:49These are blood.
01:50Because the body of this aquatic mammal looks like a woman with a tail when in the water.
01:56Always remember, it is important to know.
01:58I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
