00:00Meet rough-toothed dolphin, Marshy, spinner dolphin, Valentina, spotted dolphin, Sam,
00:17and Maxine, a pygmy killer whale.
00:21But they're not your ordinary marine mammals.
00:24Do you know that they are victims of stranding and dynamite fishing?
00:31In 2004, Sam was rescued in Samalbadaan.
00:37In San Juan, Ilocos Sur, Maxine was found stranded in December 2022.
00:43She had a pulmonary infection.
00:46Marshy was found with wounds on his body in Dunzol, Pangasinan in May last year.
00:52While Valentina, a dynamite survivor, was found in Ilocos Norte in March.
00:59Three of them were affected by the pandemic.
01:04But now, these rescued marine mammals are on the road to recovery.
01:10With the help of the Rehabilitation Facility of Ocean Adventures in Subic,
01:14which is also a member of the Philippine Marine Mammals Stranding Network,
01:18they are brought to the rehab pen.
01:22And when they recover, when they are okay, when they are ready,
01:26they will be transferred here to the open water facility.
01:30Our criteria is that the animal is still receiving medication,
01:34antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories.
01:36They cannot be released yet.
01:41We have conditions where our rescued marine mammals
01:45have an impairment or condition where they cannot return to the open water.
01:52Just like Maxine, our pygmy killer whale.
01:56Her other side is a bit crooked.
01:59So when she returns to the open water, it will be dangerous for her.
02:03For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Avier,
02:07for 24 Hours.
