00:00Good morning, Mr. Kuyakim.
00:04Good morning, Mr. Kuyakim.
00:06I'm Mr. Kuyakim,
00:07I'm going to give you a trivia
00:08on the trending news.
00:10One of the most recent research
00:12from the University of the Philippines
00:14Marine Science Institute
00:16is the highest part of the Philippine Rice
00:19at the Benham Bank.
00:20What did they discover
00:22about this part of this part
00:24of the Katubingan?
00:25Sa silangang bahagi ng Pilipinas,
00:30matatagpuan 50 meters
00:31sa ilalim ng sea surface.
00:33Ang isang sea mount
00:35na mas mataas pa raw
00:36kung ikukumpara sa pinakapatayag
00:37na buntok sa bansa,
00:38ang Mount Apo sa Mindanao.
00:40Ito ang tinatawag na Benham Bank.
00:42So ang Benham Bank
00:43situated around 200 kilometers
00:45from the eastern part of Luzon.
00:48Part siya nung mas malaking
00:49tinatawag natin na Benham Rise.
00:51Yun yung pinakasyalowest part.
00:53Ito 2019,
00:54ang mga researcher
00:55ng University of the Philippines
00:56Marine Institute
00:57o UPMSI
00:58naglayag patungo
00:59sa kinaroonan nito
01:00at gamit ang
01:01painted remote underwater
01:02video systems.
01:03Pinag-aralan nila
01:04ang puso ng Benham Bank.
01:05At sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon,
01:07pinahagi nila sa publiko
01:08kanilang nadiskubri.
01:15Sa Benham Bank,
01:16patatagpuan daw ang isa
01:17sa pinakamayamang
01:18deep coral ecosystems
01:19sa Pilipinas.
01:20Merong mga areas
01:21na ang coral cover
01:23is 75 to 100%.
01:24If you go around
01:26the Philippines,
01:27very limited lang
01:28yung mga areas
01:29na may ganong coral cover.
01:30And it's surprising
01:32kasi nasa malalim na siya.
01:33Yung light
01:34na nare-receive
01:35ng mga corals
01:36is not as much
01:37as when you are
01:38in the shallow reef.
01:39But then,
01:40you see this
01:41very pristine environment.
01:42Kabilang din sa katilang
01:43mga nadiskubri doon
01:44ang ilang mga
01:45benthic habitats
01:46o ecological region
01:47sa pusod ng dagat
01:48na tinitirha
01:49ng iba't ibang
01:50marine organisms.
01:51May mga seaweeds
01:52o macroalgae
01:53and you have turf algae
01:54and then also
01:55soft corals
01:56and octocorals,
01:57sponges.
01:58Sobrang diverse
01:59yung community
02:00na nakikita mo doon.
02:01It allows also
02:02other marine organisms
02:03na mag-thrive doon.
02:05At ang magandang balita raw,
02:06wala pa kami nakikita
02:07ang threats
02:08at destructive levels
02:09pristine
02:10kasi free siya
02:11from physical
02:12and mechanical stress
02:13associated with fishing
02:14or illegal poaching.
02:15We saw already
02:16like a lot of patterns
02:17of coral habitat
02:18degradation
02:19around the country
02:20but we have
02:21at least a hope
02:22na pwede nating
02:23protektahan
02:24and may even be helpful
02:25in terms of providing
02:26larval sources
02:27to nearby coral reefs.
02:29Kaya ang hangan ngayon
02:30ni na Joey.
02:31I hope this study
02:32would even further help
02:34in the conservation
02:35of the area.
02:36Ang Benham back,
02:37maliit na bahagi lamang
02:38ng Benham rice
02:39o Philippine rice.
02:40May idea pa kayo
02:41kung gaano kalawak
02:42ang kabuan ito?
02:43Kuya Kim!
02:44Ano na?
02:50Ang Philippine rice
02:51may lawak na humigit kumulang
02:5213 million hectares.
02:54Mas malawak ito
02:55kumpara sa buong isla
02:56ng Luzon.
02:57Tinawag itong noon
02:58na Benham rice.
02:59Pinangananan
03:00sa Amerikanong Navy officer
03:01na si Andrew Benham
03:02na siyang naka-discover
03:04ito noong 1933.
03:05Pero toong 2017,
03:07sa visa ng proclamation
03:08number 489
03:09ni dating Pangulong
03:10Rodrigo Duterte,
03:11pinalitan ang pangalan nito.
03:13Mula Benham rice,
03:14tinatawag na ngayon
03:15itong Philippine rice.
03:16Samantala,
03:18para malaban ng trivia
03:19sa likod ng viral na balita,
03:20ay post o ay comment lang
03:21Hashtag Kuya Kim!
03:22Ano na?
03:23Laging tandaan,
03:24kimportante ang may alam.
