00:00Under the sea, they are like a family when they are together.
00:08They are stronger when they are together.
00:14But there are some who prefer to be alone, like Pugita.
00:20The problem is, they are more likely to be victims because no one can defend them.
00:31Can he still be free?
00:39The sea is quiet and calm.
00:43In the distance, there is still something lurking.
00:47But you can't notice it because of its ability to hide.
00:53Just don't, because it is called the Master of Disguise of the sea.
01:00The Master of Disguise of the Sea
01:05Pugita
01:08They have a rare ability to imitate the appearance and color of their surroundings.
01:16They have a more powerful weapon,
01:21their black ink.
01:31I got to know Alan and Edgar.
01:36They are looking for life to catch Pugita.
01:47We are here in Laot, in Pangasinan.
01:51We accompanied the fishermen to catch Pugita.
01:56Because they feel that the population of Pugita is declining.
02:03This is their main source of income.
02:12What they do is, they have a raft with a net.
02:15The fishermen have a mask.
02:19They look at where the rocks are and they have a tool to catch Pugita.
02:25They use the Tora-Tora.
02:28It's like they are imitating crabs.
02:32But they have hooks.
02:35They will throw the Pugita under the water.
02:44There is no fish, Paul.
02:49My mom is sick.
02:53If there is no fish, we will just sit and wait for them to come.
03:05Just a few more minutes.
03:09Finally, Edgar came.
03:13Let's see what he caught.
03:14What is that?
03:17It looks like a crab.
03:20It's a water crab.
03:22Yes!
03:24Look at that.
03:26It's tentacles are hiding.
03:28Look at those suction caps.
03:32It changes color above the water.
03:36Look at its eyes.
03:38It looks like a predator.
03:41These Pugita look like predators.
03:44It has the ability to regenerate the tentacles it amputated.
03:50Sometimes, it serves as their food.
03:53Because Pugita is young, we asked for permission from Allan and Edgar to bring it back to the wild.
04:01It's time for me to dive.
04:03What is that?
04:08I was very surprised when I saw that most of the Pugita's tentacles were turning white.
04:17According to the expert, it is possible that the Pugita's tentacles died because they were poisoned by cyanide fishing.
04:25The living and colorful communities of the seabed are almost dead.
04:33Why are the corals down there turning white?
04:38Maybe because the corals are dying.
04:41Why?
04:43I don't know. Maybe because the corals are pollinating the water.
04:47When we moved to another place,
04:52we were lucky to see a healthy coral.
05:00The young octopus quickly disappeared and returned to the corals.
05:17Now, the young Pugita is safe.
05:26However, there is a bigger threat to their population.
05:33The destruction of the coral where they live.
05:39One thing,
05:40that more sea creatures will be affected.
05:51Returning to Pampang,
05:54we also saw a bigger octopus that was brought to the market.
06:00It came from a distant part of the sea in Pampang.
06:05And look at this.
06:07If this is the one I caught, it's scary because it's so big.
06:13You can see it, sir.
06:15It's so big. I don't think I can remove it.
06:21The conservation that we are doing is for the protection of the coral.
06:27We are doing it for the protection of the coral.
06:31The conservation that we are doing is for the protection of the coral.
06:37As you can see, the fishing of Pugita is not destructive
06:44because of the way they do it.
06:48People benefit a lot from the sea.
06:52For sea creatures like Pugita,
06:55the livelihood of many of our countrymen depends on it.
06:58But if we illegally destroy their homes,
07:03they will disappear.
07:06Let's not wait for that time to come.
07:10Let's help them multiply
07:13while we still can.
07:29Hey!
07:31Thank you for watching Born to be Wild.
