00:03Mga kapuso, once in a lifetime moment kung ituring ng isang guide ang kanyang napakapambihirang encounter sa hindi lamang isa,
00:11kundi apat na killer whale o yung orca sa isa sa itinuturing na pinakamayamang bahagi ng ating karagatan.
00:18Saan ito? Kuya Kim? Ano na?
00:24Habang naglalayag kamakailan sa tinuturing na Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity sa Verde Island Passage sa Luzon, hindi na itago
00:32ng guide na si Krista ang kanyang galak.
00:40Ito kasi ang kanilang namataan sa laot, isang kiruwing o orca.
00:46Excited kami kasi alam namin na lahat ng sightings ng orca here in the Philippines is super rare.
00:54Ang orca, makailang beses pang lumapit sa kanilang bangka na parabang nakikipaglaro sa mga bisita.
01:00Siguro mga 50 meters away sa boat, doon na namin na-confirm na orca siya so sobrang excited kami.
01:09At hindi raw ito nag-iisa.
01:11Oh!
01:12Apat nga ako yan!
01:14I think it's between 4 to 6 orcas po.
01:18Ang kanilang close encounter sa mga orca sa Verde Island Passage, tinuturing ni Kristal na once in a lifetime moment.
01:24Super big din siya kasi ang orcas po ay usually nakikita sa mga bansang walalami ng tubig.
01:31So, makikita mo sila dito. It's once in a lifetime experience.
01:37At alam niyo bang hindi lang mga orca ang maaaring makita sa puso ng Verde Island Passage?
01:41Kuya Kim! Ano na?
01:45Ang Verde Island Passage na matatagpuan sa pagitan ng mga isla ng Luzon at Mindoro ay isa sa pinakamahalagang bahagi
01:51ng dagat, hindi lamang sa Pilipinas, kundi pati na sa mung mundo.
01:55Nagsisilbi itong tahanan na humigit kumulang 1,736 species ng shorefish at mahigit 400 species ng coral.
02:03Kaya binansagan itong Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity.
02:06Dahil sa kakaiba at napakayaman itong ekosistem, dinadayo ito ng mga napakaraming marine biologist mula sa iba't imang bansa.
02:14Maraming manging isla na ang maasa rito para sa pagkain at hanap buhay.
02:18Habang ang malulusog na coral reef at seagrass beds naman ng Verde Island Passage,
02:22tumutulong sa coastal protection at sumusuporta sa marine ecosystem resilience.
02:26Pero ang marine life sa passage, nangangalib na yun dahil sa bagitan ng polusyon, overfishing, climate change,
02:33mabigat na shipping traffic, pati ng reclamation at industrial development.
02:37Kaya maraming environmental groups ang nanawagan ng mas matinding proteksyon para dito.
02:41We are one of the people that work that focuses more on marine protected areas.
02:47We've got the highest density of marine biodiversity.
02:51So for you to witness that, it's amazing and that's why we are also trying to protect it with everything
03:00that we can do.
03:01Salamat itong migit kung ulang 1.4 million hectares.
03:04Ano pa kaya ang surpresang hatid ng Verde Island Passage?
03:07Para atin itong malaman, kailangan natin itong pangalagaan.
03:11Laging tandaan, kiimportante ang may alam.
03:14Ito po si Kuya Kim at sagot ko kayo 24 hours.
