00:00Do you like to take a bath in the river, especially when it's hot?

00:05Be careful!

00:06And maybe in your river, you'll find...

00:12A snake!

00:17You're a child of a snake!

00:18The snake sighting is also a hot topic online.

00:21The question is, where is the river in Mangkayayan?

00:23And the more important question is, why are the snakes in the river?

00:31We can see that these snakes are still juveniles or babies.

00:36Maybe it's in the river because it's brackish water.

00:39Snakes can live in brackish water, especially when they're still young.

00:44And here, we caught four of them.

00:47It's scary that they keep swimming in the river.

00:49Sir, two!

00:51It's not just the fish caught in Pangpang that quickly went viral.

00:56Next to them are these young snakes.

01:01From the sea, they're also a summer getaway in the rivers of Bulacan.

01:11In these pictures taken in Alumpit, Bulacan,

01:14you can see the male snake that was caught by the snakes.

01:19Rex's fish from Hagonoy is not just one.

01:25There are three.

01:27And those three are both babies.

01:31In the photos, it's more likely a bull shark.

01:34It's a juvenile.

01:36In the video, in the top portion,

01:39you can see it in the brackish area.

01:42In the more inland area, you can see the bull shark more frequently.

01:47That's what babies are called.

01:49They're called pups.

01:51They were born in the rivers.

01:56From the sea, they're also a summer getaway in the rivers of Bulacan.

02:05There are over 200 species of sharks in the country.

02:08Some of the well-known species are the whale shark,

02:12the treasure shark,

02:15the great hammerhead shark,

02:19and the famous and feared great white shark.

02:25This is where Rex's shark encounter happened in February.

02:28They fished in the rivers of Laguio using a net.

02:32But when the net was lifted,

02:34they caught something unexpected.

02:37What kind of fish did you expect to catch?

02:40We caught a few shrimps,

02:43and a few prawns at 6am.

02:46But we tried to catch something,

02:50and we saw a shark.

02:54What was your reaction?

02:56We were surprised because it was just a river,

02:59and there was a shark like that.

03:01In their everyday activities, this kind of opportunity is rare.

03:05What did you do to the three sharks?

03:07We let them go.

03:08I don't know if they're still alive because they're weak.

03:12And you can't sell them like that.

03:14Very good, Rex.

03:17Remember, we have laws like the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act

03:21that protects endangered and vulnerable species

03:24against exploitation, hunting, and trade.

03:27Shark finning is also prohibited

03:30under Republic Act No. 8550.

03:33Sharks also play a big role in our marine ecosystem

03:37because they regulate the population of other marine species.

03:41So let's not kill them.

03:42Let's go back to how the residents of Bulacan were able to go to the river.

03:46According to Rex, the catch of the river is close to the sea.

03:51The difference between the bull sharks

03:54is that they enter the freshwater to breed.

03:59They leave their babies in the shallow portions of the river

04:04to grow.

04:06Predators are few there.

04:08If you're outing, you're swimming now.

04:11At the beach.

04:12You'll see sharks.

04:13What will you do?

04:15I'll run.

04:16You'll run?

04:17I don't know how to run.

04:18How will you run at the beach?

04:20They're sharks.

04:21Sharks.

04:23They'll swim.

04:24They'll swim.

04:25You know a lot, Kim.

04:27Should we be afraid of the so-called events?

04:30What we'll do is be careful.

04:32If there's a sighting,

04:34so if you see something coming near you,

04:36stay calm,

04:37stay away as normal as possible.

04:40You won't trigger the excitement of the water.

04:45The movement of the water can trigger an attack.

04:49If you're caught by a shark,

04:51usually, in rivers, they're small.

04:54Let's just go back.

04:55Because we know that sharks are also small.

05:00It's a blessing to catch a lot of good fish.

05:03But sometimes,

05:04the blessing of water needs to be returned to nature

05:07so that we can also benefit.

05:10Let's go back, Kim.
