Rare but there' and 'Blooming in Sibalom
Word has reached the Born team that a very rare find now lies in the forests of Surigao del Sur - a mother Philippine Eagle nesting and caring for its hatchling. Considered a critically endangered species and feared to become extinct within our generation, the Philippine Eagle's reproduction in the wild is truly something to celebrate. Kiko Rustia hikes with a team of wildlife enthusiasts also eager to witness this special sight. Days of waiting and wandering in the mountain prove that the while the eagle may be rare, it is definitely still there.
"Rough road" would be an understatement to describe what Doc Ferds and the team went through to search for another wild find. Scratched, scraped and bruised, they travel through mud, muck and rock to discover something unique in Antique's Sibalom forest. But this special species can only be seen for a limited timeframe. Time is running short, and Doc and the team must hurry to witness this spectacular, blooming event!

Isang balita ang nakarating sa Born to be Wild team. Sa kagubatan daw ng Surigao del Sur ay nakatago ang isang natatanging bagay - ang pugad ng isang inang Philippine Eagle sa wild. Criticially endangered na ang Philippine Eagle at pinangangambahang mauubos ang bilang sa loob ng ating henerasyon. Kaya naman ang makita silang nagpaparami sa wild ay isang okasyon na dapat ipagdiwang. Araw ang bibilangin nina Kiko para makita ang katangi-tanging tanaw na nagibibigay pag-asa sa mga tagapagtanggol ng Philippine Eagle.
Sa Sibalom, Antique isang mahirap na paglalakbay ang pagdaraanan ni Doc Ferds at ng team para matanaw ang isa pang katangi-tanging species. Pero kailangan nilang magmadali, dahil hindi ito basta-bastang nagpapakita at ilang araw lang ang itinatagal. Mahabol kaya nina Doc ang namumukakad na ganda ng species na ito?
Oh, i really missed antique when i was watching this video. I'll be home soon my beloved antique. I am happy our forests and well protected. I hope it continues .-D

When I heard of raflesia flower somewhere in Malaysia and Indonesia...I thought of it that this is also the same specie we've known to be called locally as URUY. Never did I thought that this plant would put our province in a highly protected area as well as Bugang River. Truly, Antique is land of the extreme. Come and experience Antique!

Yes! this plant/flower is only transient for only 4-5 days. The smell is 5x putridish compare to the rotten meat. When we are in Sibalom--(Bato Kweba/ Stone Cave--the place where this plants exist) we are told that this plant were own and created by Engkantos to drive away people from the forest.
