These are true and last treasures of the Philippine Islands. I hope the government protect these creatures for they are part of natural heritage.

This is a sad news, I think DENR already had released a clearance for the contractors to continue with their plans. This is the last bird sanctuary here in Manila.

They plan to reclaim the mud flat in Paranaque that will wipe out the wild life there.
