Photo credit: AFPThe largest crocodile caught ever in the Philippines, said the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Centre. And might be recorded as the biggest captive crocodile in the world in Guinness Book of Records.
Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said putting the huge crocodile in special cage at Bunawan Eco-Park and Wildlife Reservation Center in Sitio Masapya, Barangay Consuelo, some 8 kilometers from Bunawan town proper is better than killing the murderous monster.
Villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset".
But still they lookout for other man-eating mate of Lolong.

The huge croc was named after Ernesto "Lolong" Goloran Cañete, one of the veteran crocodile hunters from the Palawan who led the hunt. Weeks of stalking the crocodile took a toll on the health of Cañete, who died of heart attack days before the crocodile was caught.

And the hit song of Inner Circle - “Sweat (A La La La La Long)" is now Lolong's (the croc) theme song as the music is frequently played at the Eco-Park .

Dear Leny,
What number on the map is where you live?
About the crocodile I understand that it might be a threat to the population in that area but I also feel sad when watching the videos. Thinking that this creature will spend the rest of his life in a cage to be a tourist attraction is sad. Maybe it would have been better to have killed him and stuffed him and put him into a museum of some kind where people could "Wow" and "Aah" at him.
I don't like zoos in general and definitely not circuses who show wild animals like elephants and tigers standing on chairs lifting a leg, people applaud and someone gets money for the silly act. Mistreated animals around the world isn't worthy of men because we are supposed to have the brains.
What happened to the crocodile after the video?

By the way I live in Bulacan Province, it's #19 on the map, 2 hours drive from Manila (capital city of Phils.)
Have a peaceful Sunday my friend :)

You welcome Ida, & my apology for late reply. Just being so busy & tired always, no time setting in front of our computer.
So you're a nurse, here in the Phils, hundred of thousands graduated nurses are still jobless.Others just went abroad just to have a job.

Dear Anonym....
Sorry I don't know your name, but if you mean the music video in my side bar here in Leny's Haven, it's not Choi Si Won but it's Kang Ta and the song titled Eternity.
Thanks for liking "Chikara", hope to see you more often.
Leny
