[Title] => Endangered turtle returned to sea
[Summary] => CEBU, Philippines - An endangered turtle that was found on the shores of Gilutungan Channel in Barangay Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City was released back to sea yesterday morning.
Mayor Paz Radaza released the female Olive Ridley Sea Turtle along the shores of Crimson Resort and Spa in Barangay Mactan.
Officials of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office, as well as marine biologists of the resort were also present yesterday.
Boy Padilla of CENRO said the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle was spotted first in the waters of Barangay Maribago but got washed away to the shores of Barangay San Vicente in Olango Island.
“Nakit-an sa mga mananagat og dayon gidala sa CENRO office sa isla,” Padilla said.
The endangered turtle weighs 25 to 30 kilograms and measures 65 centimeters in length 58 inches in width.
“I would like to remind the public that if they spot marine animals along our shores, they should take care of them so they will thrive more in our seas,” Radaza said.
Radaza said residents should report any discovery to CENRO in order for them to take necessary actions in protecting the marine species from being sold illegally.
She suggested that endangered sea creatures like the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle that are rescued be released at a marine sanctuary like the Crimson Resort and Spa because the creatures can be monitored there.
Mario Marababol, a marine biologist of the resort, told reporters the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle is estimated to be eight or nine years old. Based on his early observation, the endangered turtle was found weak but he could not tell why.
“The turtle was not in good condition for it may possibly just came from laying its eggs,” Marababol said.
Since the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle is considered endangered, Marababol said it needs to be protected and whoever is caught catching it can be fined at least P500,000 and up to P1 million. — Christell Fatima M. Tudtud/JMO (FREEMAN)

[Title] => Paint Alabang Crimson
[Summary] => For some, Alabang is that area down south that is so far below the map. Try telling that to the proud southerner, who would retort that the impression is farthest from the truth. Distance, dears, is no issue if one would care to discover the glorious south, where, as what we residents proudly declare, life is more laid back and less hectic. It is basically city life without the insanity of the city.
