Rescued 10-feet-long King Cobra released into wild in Palawan
An endangered 10-feet-long King Cobra that was found inside a house in Sitio Libtong, Barangay Iraan in Rizal, Palawan was released into the wild after its rescue.
According to Super Radyo Palawan's JB Juanich on Thursday, the snake also has a width of 5 inches and weighs 10 kilograms.
The reptile was discovered underneath a bed and was immediately reported by residents to authorities.
Personnel from the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Offices (MENRO) and the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) rescued the King Cobra and released it into the wild.
MENRO advised the public to always report to authorities if they found animals out of the wild so they could properly be rescued.
Meanwhile, the PCSD said that King Cobras are among threatened species, hence the a need to protect them. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/RF, GMA Integrated News

P11.1M coral reefs damaged after Chinese ship runs aground off Pag-asa Island
At least P11.1 million worth of coral reefs in Pag-asa Reef 1 were damaged after a Chinese maritime militia vessel ran aground in the area last month, the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development said Monday. The damage assessment was carried out on June 17 by a joint team from PCSD, Western Philippines University, and the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development. The grounding occurred on June 7. In a press conference, Commodore Jay Tarriela, Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, said the incident happened approximately 2.6 nautical miles from the coast of Pag-asa Island and involved a Chinese vessel with bow number 16868. While the ship managed to free itself after nearly three hours, experts confirmed the incident inflicted significant harm on the protected coral zones. Marine scientists reported that a parachute anchor, believed to have been used by the Chinese vessel, was found on-site and had severely impacted the reef. The damage was caused by the dragging of the sea anchor and/or anchor line. Protected zone violated Atty. Teodoro Jose Mata, executive director of PCSD, explained the legal framework governing the incident area. 'The location of the incident is within the core zone or the zone which is afforded maximum protection under the law, under Republic Act 7611," he said. 'No human activity is supposed to be allowed in there," he added. PCSD field biologist Mark De La Cruz presented findings from the on-site evaluation, noting that coral fragments—both hard and soft—were broken or chipped due to the dragging of the parachute anchor. 'We estimate that around 30% of the impacted area was damaged. And the yellow polygon, the anchor area, that is totally damaged," he stressed. The reef anchor site alone sustained damage across 307.75 square meters, while the impacted surrounding reef covered an additional 157.21 square meters—totaling 464.96 square meters of damaged coral. Biodiversity and fisheries at risk Dr. Benjamin Gonzalez, a marine biologist and retired professor from Western Philippines University, warned of the long-term consequences. 'The anchor parachute will continue to cover the corals, denying access to sunlight. Without sunlight, the coral reef will die," he said. 'Further contact between the parachute anchor and the reef will produce microplastic waste... Studies show microplastics are already present in fish muscles—and now, possibly in humans. Fish will have no shelter. Coral reefs are their home," he added. He added that coral reefs also serve as a coastal barrier and their destruction increases vulnerability to storm surges. NTF-WPS: China must be held accountable Meanwhile, Assistant Director General Cornelio Valencia of the National Security Council said the task force is deeply concerned over the environmental damage. 'The NTF-WPS expresses concern over this reported environmental damage caused by a Chinese vessel near Pag-asa Reef. While it did not run aground directly on the coral reef, the vessel's anchoring activity caused significant damage to the surrounding reef area." Valencia also praised the vigilance of local fisherfolk who first reported the incident. 'Their lived experience at sea reflects not only environmental risks but also daily threats to their safety, livelihood, and dignity," he added. The NTF-WPS endorsed the PCSD's recommendations to enforce environmental accountability and to implement a coral reef rehabilitation program. 'We remain committed to safeguarding the West Philippine Sea, preserving our marine ecosystems, and upholding the well-being of the communities that depend on them," Valencia added. The PCSD has recommended the imposition of P11.15 million in penalties against the Chinese vessel, based on a rate of P12,000 per square meter for both resource value and restoration costs.—AOL, GMA Integrated News

PCG: Study on Pagasa Reef 1's possible damage due to Chinese ship completed
The assessment on the possible damage on Pagasa Reef 1 from the grounding incident involving a Chinese vessel in June has yielded results, according to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Wednesday. PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea (WPS) Commodore Jay Tarriela said the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) conducted the study. 'The PCSD already came up with the result ng evaluation nila,' Tarriela said at a Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum. (The PCSD already came up with the result of their evaluation.) 'Since they are the ones who did the study, they should be the one to share to the media and to explain ano ang mga significant findings na ginawa nila out of that survey,' he added. (Since they are the ones who did the study, they should be the one to share to the media and to explain what are the significant findings they made out of that survey.) Tarriela said the results on the possible damage on Pagasa Reef 1 will be presented first to the National Task Force - West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS). 'And from there, I think that's the time we can come up with actions and whether it will be publicized and shared to the media,' Tarriela said. On June 7, the PCG monitored a suspected Chinese maritime militia vessel with bow number 16838 that ran aground at Pagasa Reef 1, which is around one nautical mile from Pagasa Island. The Chinese vessel was likely driven into the shallow area due to adverse sea conditions with two to three meters of waves as well as strong winds. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News

PCG: 6 Pinoy seafarers rescued after landing craft sinks off Romblon
Six Filipino crew members of Landing Craft Tank (LCT) San Juan Bautista are safe after the vessel sank in the waters between Romblon and Sibuyan Island last Monday, June 30, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Wednesday. The PCG said the Filipino crew members were rescued at around 12:40 a.m. and were in good condition. The LCT San Juan Bautista had a cargo of 2,500 liters of marine diesel when it departed from Guihulngan Port, Negros Oriental on Saturday, June 28 bound for drydocking in Navotas City, the PCG said. The Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog (CGDSTL), however, assured that the risk of environmental damage caused by the sunken vessel is low. 'Based on the PCG's initial assessment, the risk of environmental damage in Southern Tagalog is low since the fuel is a light petroleum product that should dissipate quickly. The estimated 360-foot depth minimizes coral reef impact, and natural processes like dispersion and biodegradation further reduce the likelihood of significant shoreline or marine ecosystem damage,' CGDSTL said in a statement. Further, CGDSTL said the sea remains clear based on the aerial surveillance conducted at around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday. 'We have alerted local fisherfolk and coastal barangays and, together with the LGU of Romblon and the DENR, we have conducted coastal security and seaborne patrols to monitor traces of oil sheens. As we speak, no foul odor was detected along the coastline and nearby waters,' the CGDSTL added. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/RF, GMA Integrated News
