00:00It's a wound.
00:02It's a wound.
00:04On the base of his tail,
00:06there's a nail.
00:08It's a wound.
00:10I don't know when this happened, but it's been a long time.
00:12It's bleeding.
00:14The smell is different.
00:16It's to reduce the pain.
00:18It's not spreading anymore.
00:20It's not spreading anymore.
00:22I'm going to treat it.
00:30My God!
00:34It's fighting!
00:38It's fighting!
00:52When the volcano erupted,
00:54the volcano erupted.
00:58Not only humans were affected,
01:00but also animals.
01:06Look at this.
01:08This is painful.
01:10The volcano erupted.
01:12Fortunately,
01:14the volcano rose from the rocks.
01:16But it looks like
01:18it's weakening.
01:24In Negros Occidental,
01:26you can see the volcano
01:28that erupted last
01:30on December 20, 2017.
01:32It was a phreatic eruption
01:34that happened
01:36in June in the volcano.
01:40This happens when
01:42the water inside the volcano
01:44is heated by volcanic activity.
01:46It will boil,
01:48steam will come out,
01:50and it will explode.
01:52It will explode.
01:58In Barangay Biak na Bato,
02:00the effect of the eruption
02:02is greater.
02:04Three days after the eruption,
02:06we were surprised
02:08because when we got out of the car,
02:10the smell of sulfur was still there.
02:12In this river,
02:14the water came out
02:16with cement.
02:18That's the sulfur
02:20that came out of the volcano.
02:22We can still see the cracks here.
02:26A netizen
02:28found that the sulfur
02:30was strong in this river.
02:34But after that,
02:36the ground suddenly hardened
02:38like cement.
02:40These are the trees
02:42that came from the fallen trees
02:44on the top of the mountain.
02:46The water flows here
02:48along with the rocks.
02:52These rocks
02:56came from up there.
02:58He brought these
03:00huge rocks here.
03:02This is the house,
03:04this is the river.
03:10Look at how big
03:12these rocks are.
03:14This rock came from the top of the mountain.
03:16It came from the volcano.
03:18These rocks are so big.
03:20There was no such thing
03:22here before.
03:24It became a wildlife.
03:26No one was saved.
03:28The eruption is getting weaker
03:30while the horses
03:32can hardly move.
03:38Born to be Wild's team
03:40joined the veterinary mission
03:42of the Provincial Veterinary Office
03:44of Negros Occidental.
03:46This is to provide
03:48medical assistance
03:50to the animals of the residents.
03:52What are the biggest problems
03:54of the animals here?
03:56Mostly, it's the nutrition.
03:58Because the plants,
04:00the forages,
04:02are mostly destroyed.
04:04Because of the ashes?
04:06Yes.
04:08The cows and the calves
04:10lost their skin
04:12and wounds.
04:16It looks like the number of patients is increasing.
04:22This is La Castellana
04:24in Negros Occidental
04:26affected by the eruption
04:28of Mt. Canlaon.
04:30Three barangays, including
04:32Biak na Bato and Kabagnaan
04:34entered the 4km permanent
04:36danger zone.
04:38The animals like the calabash,
04:40cows, and goats
04:42were evacuated.
04:44The evacuation center
04:46prioritizes the people first.
04:50So now,
04:52they will be our help.
04:54The plants died
04:56and you fed them.
04:58That's why the body is moldy.
05:00How many do you take care of?
05:02The calabash?
05:04We give them vitamins
05:06because
05:08there's no food
05:10and they still have parasites.
05:14The skin of a calabash
05:16is almost rotten and wounded
05:18when hit by lightning.
05:20This is what they said earlier,
05:22the ones that got wounded
05:24because the rocks from the volcano
05:26are hot.
05:28On the base of its tail,
05:30there's a wound.
05:32I don't know when this happened
05:34but it's been a long time.
05:36There's a lot of maggans
05:38and the smell is different.
05:40To reduce the pain,
05:42and to prevent it from spreading.
05:44We're going to treat it.
05:46We're going to give it anti-inflammatory
05:48and biotic vitamins.
05:50This is painful.
05:54In Karating Sitio,
05:56closer to the base of the mountain,
05:58there are more affected
06:00calabash and cows.
06:02This is one of the barangays
06:04that are more affected
06:06because this is the area
06:08where the pyroclastic hazard area
06:10is located.
06:12This is where the volcano exploded.
06:14They're closer.
06:16Usually, there are a lot of animals
06:18and calabashes
06:20that are here.
06:22There are wounds on their backs
06:24because they were hit by lightning.
06:26This is the severely exposed
06:28part of the rocks.
06:30These are the rocks.
06:32Look at it.
06:34Their wounds are still fresh.
06:36Especially the ones that
06:38are here.
06:40These are the ones
06:42that are hit by lightning
06:44when they're bitten.
06:50There are also a few groups
06:52like Canine Search and Rescue
06:54and BAC Project
06:56that feed the calabash dogs.
06:58We provide food,
07:00feeds, dog food,
07:02everything.
07:06With the help of the GMA Capusa Foundation,
07:08we also provide food packs
07:10for the residents of
07:12Barangay Kabagnaan.
07:14These are what we brought
07:16from the Capusa Foundation.
07:18This is coordinated with the LGU,
07:20the Canine Search and Rescue Unit
07:22of the Philippines.
07:24We will distribute this
07:26to the 50 families.
07:56This is the remaining food and water
07:58of the LGU and several NGOs.
08:02The volcano eruption
08:04is a natural disaster.
08:06No one
08:08wants this to happen.
08:12That's why we need to be prepared
08:14because we don't know
08:16when this will happen again.
08:20We hope that the residents
08:22and animals affected by the
08:24eruption will be rescued.
08:30Let's dig this hole.
08:32Let's see if it's deep
08:34or slippery
08:36because it's shallow here.
08:38I will dig this hole.
08:44I am fighting
08:46a fierce sea monster.
08:54Will I be able
08:56to catch it alive?
09:14The joker will dive
09:16into the sea today
09:18to face
09:20the Malabanos,
09:22a fish that will not
09:24be caught alive.
09:28I am excited
09:30because we will join the fishermen
09:32to catch
09:34a different kind of fish.
09:38Is this the place
09:40where you hunt
09:42different kinds of fish?
09:44Yes, we will walk
09:46to the other side
09:48of the volcano.
09:52At first,
09:54they were afraid
09:56of this kind of fish.
09:58But now,
10:00even if it's hard,
10:02they are still willing
10:04to catch fish.
10:06This is the real fish.
10:08This is the real fish.
10:10This is not
10:12just a bait.
10:14The Malabanos
10:16is very strong.
10:18This is what they eat.
10:20They eat tilapia.
10:22We will wear socks.
10:24We will not enter the pool.
10:26We will enter
10:28the water.
10:30We need to wear socks
10:32so that we won't get hurt
10:34by the fish.
10:36Don't step on the fish.
10:38The fish will bite you.
10:40The Malabanos
10:42often go to this bay.
10:46Their food is here.
10:50Because the water is high,
10:52they need to swim.
10:54We are here.
10:56This is our first target.
10:58We will make the hole
11:00open.
11:02Then,
11:04we will try to feed the fish.
11:08I don't need to wear a wetsuit.
11:10This is enough.
11:12This is okay.
11:16We will feed the fish first.
11:18I will feed the Malabanos first.
11:24This is his hand.
11:26This is his hand.
11:28We are holding hands.
11:30I will hold the Malabanos.
11:32I might drop it.
11:341, 2, 3.
11:36Let's go.
11:46It's so big.
11:48Move it.
11:50My hand fits inside.
11:52We will measure
11:54the size of the fish.
11:56When you enter the water,
11:58for example,
12:00you will let the fish go
12:02and push it.
12:04When you stop,
12:06that's enough.
12:10Zero visibility.
12:12I will just hold on to
12:14this tree
12:16so that I can drown.
12:28We are so lucky.
12:34On June 28,
12:36I witnessed
12:38the return of two
12:40Philippine Eagles
12:42to Leite,
12:44Osuag, and Cardito.
12:46This is going to be historical
12:48because this is the first time
12:50that a Philippine Eagle
12:52has been reintroduced
12:54to the out-of-Mindanao area.
12:56But before they were
12:58released to the wild,
13:00the Philippine Eagle Foundation
13:02did a lot of research.
13:04Checking the DNAs
13:06of the Philippine Eagles
13:08in Mindanao.
13:10The DNA analysis showed
13:12that all the Philippine Eagles
13:14from the four islands
13:16are considered one species.
13:18So that's very good for us
13:20because then we can move
13:22eagles from one island to another.
13:24Philippine Eagles used to have
13:26sightings in the province
13:28but when the Yolanda
13:30was reintroduced to Leite in 2013,
13:32the Philippine Eagles
13:34also disappeared.
13:38Osuag was rescued
13:40from Mount Abo in 2023
13:42as a male eagle.
13:44Meanwhile,
13:46in August 2022,
13:48Cardito was rescued
13:50as a female eagle.
13:52Before they were
13:54released to the wild,
13:56I was given a chance
13:58to listen to
14:00his heart rate.
14:10All primary feathers
14:12are complete
14:14and none of them
14:16are damaged.
14:20I shall return.
14:22It seems like this is true
14:24for our eagles.
14:26When they will return
14:28to the wild,
14:30it will serve as a reminder
14:32that there is hope
14:34to save their species.
14:42Zero visibility.
14:44I will just stick to
14:46this tree
14:48so that I can dive.
14:50I will just stick to this tree
14:52so that I can dive.
14:54I will just stick to this tree
14:56so that I can dive.
15:02We are so lucky!
15:04It's a little baby.
15:06Just a few more seconds.
15:10It's attacking.
15:12Don't let it go back.
15:14It's attacking.
15:16It's attacking.
15:18It's attacking.
15:20It's attacking.
15:24Hey!
15:32It's fighting it!
15:38It's fighting!
15:42It's fighting!
15:44Okay
16:06Very powerful
16:14Um
16:31Look at the tail
16:44Foreign
17:05Foreign
17:14Foreign
17:31So this is probably around six feet
17:44Foreign
