Study reveals surge in illegal arachnid trade via Facebook in Philippines
In 2019, customs officers at a post office in the Philippine capital Manila unwrapped what looked like an ordinary parcel from Poland. Inside, they found 757 live tarantulas stuffed inside plastic containers, neatly packed like a twisted birthday surprise. Far from an isolated incident, this seizure reflects a long-running issue. Between 2010 and 2019, arachnids […]

Deforestation in the Philippines may have caused infertile hybrids of endemic frogs, study finds
In 1996, when herpetologist Rafe Brown accompanied a few biologists to the Philippine island of Mindanao to study frogs, they heard a cacophony near their campsite.

Wishing all the best to everyone in the streets today

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved the Panaon Island Protected Seascape law on Aug. 29. It creates a 61,204-hectare (151,200-acre) marine protected area within the Pacific Coral […]

Community efforts yield new marine protected area in the Philippines
The Philippines has officially designated a new marine protected area after an 18-year campaign by local communities, fisher associations, civil society organizations and government agencies, the Wildlife Conservation Society announced Aug. 13. The newly created Bitaug Marine Protected Area (MPA), which covers nearly 150 hectares (about 370 acres), is the largest MPA in Siquijor province […]

Based on this thread, featuring one of #TarantadongKalbo's nostalgia comic strips, I learned that this typical 1990s PC setup is apparently not unique to the #Philippines 🇵🇭.

The security guards at my workplace have been unironically playing #Christmas songs sine July.
I thought we Filipinos agreed we can only play Christmas songs starting September, not starting typhoon season.
