00:00In the middle of the night, a strange creature suddenly appeared.
00:07Oh, it's coming from the bottom of the lake.
00:10It jumped.
00:11You're going to roll inside.
00:13You might get stuck here.
00:16This was seen after the Christine Hurricane.
00:20Oh!
00:21Oh!
00:22Oh!
00:23Oh!
00:24Oh!
00:26Oh!
00:28Oh!
00:29Oh!
00:34This is my first time seeing a scythe of that kind.
00:41Be careful because there really is stuff coming at us.
00:45What is this? And how dangerous is this place?
00:54Once upon a time, the residents of Barangay Bical in Karamongan, Camarines Sur
00:59were shocked to find out that Palangoy-Langoy was after the Christine Flood.
01:05Oh my God!
01:08Oh my God!
01:09Oh!
01:10They're throwing rocks at her!
01:11She's cramping up!
01:12Go inside!
01:13She might jump here!
01:14Ah!
01:15Ah!
01:16Ah!
01:17This video was taken by our neighbor, Roselyn Flores, 30 years old.
01:22She remembers how they were shocked to find out that they were neighbors.
01:26While we were in my daughter's room, I heard someone screaming outside our house.
01:32Go inside!
01:33She might jump here!
01:34Ah!
01:35Ah!
01:36Ah!
01:37She might jump here!
01:39I wasn't asleep yet, I was upside down.
01:44I couldn't sleep.
01:46And my neighbors started shouting at us.
01:50I went outside.
01:52I got outside of our house through the stairs.
01:58I was shocked
02:00and scared.
02:02The situation was just not normal.
02:04Hey, hey! Let me see what's going on with Michael!
02:07What's mysterious about the video is...
02:10A snake?
02:12At first glance, it looks like a toy because of its shape.
02:16But once it moves, residents are terrified.
02:20The snake is really big.
02:22As in, it's really big. It's like Gavintico.
02:26Its head is so small.
02:27It's as big as a dipako.
02:29The snake is long.
02:30The snake has a striped pattern and it looks like it's just a coincidence that it's moving at that time.
02:38It's moving around the house, right?
02:40It's bouncing.
02:41It's bouncing because the snake's body is so big.
02:45Hey, hey! Let me see what's going on with Michael!
02:47Let me see what's going on with Michael!
02:49It's really big. It's like Gavintico.
02:51It's deep inside Roslyn's house.
02:55It's really big. It's like Gavintico.
02:58I was filming the snake.
03:00I was really scared.
03:01Especially my son.
03:02Even in my video, my son was screaming.
03:10I couldn't get out.
03:12Someone commented in my video that it's fake.
03:16I said, it's not fake.
03:17It's my first time to see a snake like that.
03:21It's moving around. It's bouncing.
03:24There can also be some water snakes.
03:27There are some species that are comfortable and can evolve to adapt and live here.
03:34Like the cottonmouth snake, yellow-bellied water snake, and beak sea snake.
03:41But what kind of snake is feared by the people of Bical, Caramoan?
03:46Ah! Ah!
03:49According to Roslyn, she also saw a snake that day not far from their place.
03:55And she also said that this snake is the same as the snake that she saw last night.
04:01It's this long. It's really this long.
04:03The snake is just one foot long.
04:05And the middle part of the body of the snake is really big.
04:08It's really big.
04:09It's not an ordinary snake for us here.
04:11Hey Marie, let's go! Let's swim!
04:13Let's go!
04:16Marie, I'm just scared of the wind.
04:21The residents of Bical Port were surprised when they heard the news that they saw a snake.
04:28The snake was there this morning.
04:31And it came here last night.
04:33I'm scared, sir. I'm scared.
04:35I've never seen a snake like that before.
04:37It's really a different kind.
04:39To stay away from danger, a resident took a rope to tie and tie it.
04:45When the snake is tied to the ground, it just moves.
04:50It just moves far away from the houses.
04:53It's rare to see a snake in their area.
04:56That's why the residents are so afraid of it.
05:00Every August, there's a high tide in their area.
05:03That's why they're surprised that even though it's October, the water level has already risen even though there's no typhoon yet.
05:09Remember that calamity will come to us.
05:12When the water level rises again, we're afraid that another calamity will come.
05:32We showed Marine Biologist Melchor de Ocades from the University of the Philippines
05:37the videos taken by Roslyn to find out what kind of snake they saw.
05:43It's possible that it's a bandaged sea krait because of the alternate bands.
05:49It swelled a bit.
05:52It looks like it's low.
05:55These snakes are called bandaged sea krait because of the black vertical stripes or bands that are bluish or white on their bodies.
06:03Bandaged sea krait is a type of amphibious snake that can survive in both land and water.
06:11It can live for 10 days on land where they can digest their food, such as meat or eggs.
06:20Most of the time, bandaged sea krait can be found in shallow coastal waters of the Eastern Indian or Western Pacific Ocean.
06:28According to National Geographic, the taste of bandaged sea krait is 10 times stronger than the venom of rattlesnake.
06:35An adult sea snake has enough venom to kill up to 10 people.
06:41When they hunt, they use venom to kill their prey and swallow it whole.
06:49Roslyn's house is near the port, so it's easy for the snake to go to their place.
06:55When the water is low, the snake doesn't go near their place.
07:01It's natural for sea krait to go up when disturbed.
07:08But I don't think it's a reason for them to go up.
07:15I don't think it's a reason for them to go up.
07:21It's just that they're disturbed, so they need to rest.
07:24People shouldn't go far because they go up.
07:32It's natural.
07:34Bandaged sea krait are not aggressive.
07:37Sea krait are very shy and reluctant to bite.
07:43You can see it in the video.
07:46Even if it was bitten by a snake, it's not aggressive.
07:49It will only attack if you push it.
07:52Of course, if it's hurt, it will attack.
08:01If you encounter a sea krait, keep distance.
08:08Just let it go.
08:10There are many sea krait that we don't know and can't get out of an iglap.
08:16In this case, it's better to keep distance so that our encounter with sea krait won't go back to the sea.
