00:00They are known for having a lot of feet.

00:16They walk fast because they have a lot of feet.

00:20They can't stay still in one place.

00:23But those feet

00:26Silvi disappears when the rain pours.

00:36That's why they chose to cover our houses.

00:43There are so many, you can't count them all.

00:46It's really overwhelming.

00:55The rain pours.

01:05That's why the animals in the forest

01:09are disposing of each other.

01:17These animals are now fully forced to carry their food.

01:26They are packing for the long rainy season.

01:31What they are left with is a small stink bug.

01:39They are helping each other to carry the insects to their nests.

01:43They are also busy looking for a place to nest.

02:02They can't see each other, so to know where they are going,

02:07they are using a pair of antennas to sense the surroundings.

02:14They can't see each other.

02:20This is called a cincing pari or tren-tren.

02:25It's only played by children because when they move,

02:29they form a circle.

02:32They are called cincing pari because when there is danger,

02:36they surround themselves like a cincing.

02:44These two cincing paris, together, are digging a hole in the ground.

02:55Underneath the ground, they are hiding from the rain.

03:06While they are digging,

03:09another cincing pari passed by and seems to want to join them.

03:19If there is a roundback, there is also a flatback cincing pari.

03:26They are busy eating rotten wood.

03:31While some of them are wearing jackpots.

03:35Along with the bats, they are mixing with the fallen mango seeds.

03:41Look at this.

03:43It's hard.

03:45When I hold it, its exoskeleton is hard.

03:51At the same time, it releases a strong smell.

03:57These cincing paris.

04:00The smell is strong.

04:02They release their chemicals for protection or defense.

04:10Many people think that there are thousands of cincing paris.

04:14But the truth is,

04:16there are only 24 to 750 cincing paris depending on the species.

04:22They walk fast because they have many cincing paris.

04:25They can't stand on one leg.

04:31These millipedes have around 80 legs.

04:37They are connected to each segment of their body.

04:42Cincing paris usually go to cold and humid places.

04:49They don't like hot weather because their body can get dry and die.

05:01These two are taking advantage of the opportunity to multiply while it's not yet hot.

05:08But it's a different story when it rains heavily.

05:14Even though they have many legs, they can't use them for swimming.

05:21That's why this one is completely drowned.

05:29So that it won't drown,

05:31the cincing paris are swimming in people's houses.

05:38In Las Piñas City,

05:41Tin, Tin's mother, has a big problem.

05:45There are a lot of millipedes or cincing paris living in her house.

05:52There are a lot of millipedes or cincing paris living in my house.

05:58There are a lot of millipedes or cincing paris living in my house.

06:05Hi Tin, good morning Dr. Nielsen.

06:08Hello, how are you?

06:10Oops, what was that sound?

06:12I stepped on something.

06:14These are millipedes.

06:18It's true.

06:19It's true.

06:21Here in Tin's stairway, there are a lot of millipedes.

06:26You can smell the scent that these millipedes produce when you touch them.

06:34Ma'am Tin, where did you see those millipedes?

06:41Here, sir.

06:43There are a lot of millipedes here.

06:46Look, in this particular corner,

06:49it's like those horror movies that you watch,

06:52where there's an area where the cockroaches come out,

06:55but here, there are a lot of millipedes.

06:58Wherever you look, in the garage of the house,

07:04there are a lot of cincing paris.

07:07Before, every afternoon, I would take my daughter out here

07:11so that we can get some fresh air.

07:12But because of them,

07:14we can't go down anymore because I have to step on them.

07:18But not only can they be seen from the outside,

07:21they can also enter the house.

07:27That's why Tin is afraid of the safety of her daughter.

07:31I saw one of them crawling on the playpen,

07:34and the other one was holding it.

07:36Of course, she was only 8 months old at that time.

07:39She was still laughing because the millipedes were moving.

07:42It's a good thing that I saw her,

07:44if not, she would have been killed.

07:46This one has cyanide,

07:48although it's very minimal,

07:50but it can be harmful to the baby of Miss Tin.

07:53Why are they here?

07:55That's what we found out.

07:58There are feces,

08:01and as you can see, it's moist.

08:04And these millipedes,

08:07they like a moist area.

08:10They don't want it to be too wet

08:12because if it's too wet,

08:14they will drown.

08:16I also checked what's on the other side of the wall.

08:20There might be a leak later.

08:23And that's what the millipedes like,

08:27a moist area, not a puddle of water.

08:30And this is the reason why they go to this area.

08:35We also noticed the vacant lot next to Tin's house.

08:42When we examined the area,

08:45we saw a lot of millipedes.

08:49This is Miss Tin's house.

08:51As you can see, there's a mango tree.

08:53This is their habitat.

08:55And one day,

08:57this house will be built here.

09:00We will see them on the road.

09:04There are a lot of millipedes around now

09:07because it rained during the breeding season of millipedes.

09:12A female millipede

09:14can lay up to 300 eggs in one batch.

09:20If you see a cockroach in your house,

09:25don't worry,

09:27especially if they don't mean to harm you.

09:30To humans, they are not harmful.

09:32Although millipedes secrete,

09:34it depends on the species and the order of their chemical defenses.

09:38But to humans, they are not dangerous.

09:40The primary component of their chemical secretions is cyanide.

09:44They are cyanogenic.

09:46But the amount of that cyanide is so small that it won't affect us.

09:52In fact, they are the decomposers.

09:56Because of their food,

09:59which is rotting on the ground,

10:01it becomes fat.

10:03This area used to be a vacant lot.

10:07But when the houses were being developed,

10:10they lost their homes,

10:12so they were concentrated in a vacant lot.

10:15When their situation worsened,

10:20they decided to move here.

10:23Just like us,

10:25cockroaches also want a good and safe place to live.
