  • Ty-Funs in the Philippines

    August 3, 2012 Didn't even heard that Typhoon Gener made a land fall but still, it left us terribly damaged. "Gener" with an International name of "Saolo" left the Philippines with 37 people dead and 33 were injured according to GMA News as of today. As I open social media sites, there were lot of posts there which hopes for the suspension of classes. There were no announced Typhoon Signal for Manila (the Capital of the Philippines) as far as I know but still, even college students were protesting for the suspension of classes through social networks due to strong winds and flooded roads.

  • A Run for Pasig River 2012

    Another event for helping the environment! A Run for Pasig River is annually held in different locations in the Philippines since 2008 (As far as I can recall). An annual event that encourages others to take action on the problems of the said river. We commonly know that fun runs are used to produce funds and increase awareness about something. Besides those funds doesn’t just go to someone else’s pockets but to the needy. In this case, our beloved Pasig River. So who is "Pasig River...

Lolong found Dead

Posted by Reilly Reverie On 6:01 AM Comments

Lolong, the holder of the Guiness World Record for being the largest crocodile of its kind to be held in captivity was announced dead last February 11, 2013. After being held for 17 months, his rival "Cassius" from Australia now reclaims the title measuring 17ft 11ins while previous holder "Lolong" measured 6.17 meter (20.24ft).


It was said that Lolong was last fed in the middle of January of 2013, but caretakers notice an unusual bloat in his stomach in the previous days. Unfortunately the veterinarian they contacted didn't make it in time. Lolong was said to be in his 50 - 60. A young age for his species which could live up to 70+ years.

It must have been bad news for locals where Lolong was captivated but let's just think of the positive sides. Lolong now doesn't have to suffer the small cage where he really doesn't belong. An attraction given to the Philippines for a short time and as we mourn for the death of an outstanding creature, specialists are currently conducting an autopsy to figure out what went wrong.

Stay tuned as we all wait for the announcement on Lolong's cause of death.
