00:00to Manjuyud Sandbar.
00:02While we're on our way there,
00:04some people are already welcoming us.
00:06Let's zoom in!
00:08What's the hype here?
00:16Yup, those are dolphins.
00:18If the weather is good and we're lucky,
00:20we'll see some dolphins here.
00:22See?
00:24My fish are just the right size.
00:26There are two protected areas in Negros Oriental.
00:28Apo Island and Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park.
00:32This is one of the conservation areas
00:34in Balinsasayao Twin Lakes.
00:36Are you familiar with this place?
00:38This is Pako.
00:40Out of the 200 species of fish here,
00:42only 12 can be eaten.
00:44How does it taste?
00:46This is the head.
00:48Try it.
00:50This is the...
00:52This is really fresh.
00:54It's delicious.
00:56Go ahead.
00:58Here in Balinsasayao Twin Lakes,
01:00you can do birdwatching.
01:02Even if the weather is bad,
01:04the birds will still come to visit us.
01:08This is where I met
01:10the former bird hunter Kuya Rico.
01:12You said you're a bird hunter.
01:14Is this the place
01:16where the birds come to?
01:18Yes,
01:20because this is not yet
01:22a proclaimed protected area.
01:24The law here is not yet strict.
01:26What we do here
01:28is hunting.
01:30Before, we just waited
01:32for the fruit trees
01:34because that's where the birds go.
01:36To get their food?
01:38But there was an incident
01:40that stopped Kuya Rico
01:42from catching the birds.
01:44When we were sent to Dumbaguete,
01:46we went there for a seminar.
01:48That's when it really started.
01:50Our mindset changed.
01:52What does it feel like
01:5420 plus years ago
01:56when you were the one
01:58who caught the birds
02:00and now you're the one
02:02who helps them
02:04sustain their lives?
02:06A lot of people
02:08used to come here
02:10to catch the birds.
02:12Some of them were endangered
02:14because we only see them here.
02:16Now, they're coming back
02:18because of birdwatching activities
02:20and bird photography.
02:22Just by taking pictures
02:24and looking at them,
02:26you won't be able
02:28to catch all of them.
02:30That's why we have a game
02:32where the birds live.
02:34We're going to play a game.
02:38We're going to show
02:40an image of a bird.
02:42We just need to guess
02:44what kind of bird it is.
02:46If you don't get it right,
02:48there will be a punishment.
02:50For the punishment,
02:52you just have to imitate
02:54the bird's face in the picture.
02:56You can do it, Behaross!
02:58Correct!
03:00Wow!

03:44Okay.
03:46That's a bird!
03:52Why are you laughing at me?
03:56This might be one of the hardest ones.
04:02Brown?
04:04Bird.
04:08No, it's a bird.
04:10Frogmouth.
04:12Wow!
04:14It's a frog!
