Tamaraw Gene Pool Farm

Image
 Close encounter with Kalibasib When the Tamaraw Gene Pool Farm (GPF) was established in 1980 in Manoot, Rizal in the province of Occidental Mindoro, its main purpose was to serve as an ex-situ (off-site) breeding facility for the tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis). The captive breeding program, however, proved to be an almost barren attempt. From 20 captured heads, only one tamaraw was produced – “Kalibasib”, an acronym for “Kalikasan Bagong Sibol” (nature newly sprung), born on June 24, 1999. At present, “Kali”, as he is more fondly known, lives alone in the facility since his mother “Mimi” died of old age in August 2011. The Gang Contact Details: Brgy.

Ilocos Norte – History and Culture around the corner

Image
 Ilocos Norte is a province in the northern Philippines. In the capital Laoag City, grand Paoay Church is a fusion of local and baroque architecture. Farther north, Cape Bojeador Lighthouse and the dramatic Kapurpurwan Rock Formation offer panoramic ocean views. At the province’s northern tip, the town of Pagudpud is known for its beaches, like Blue Lagoon, plus bell-shaped Timmangtang Rock and towering Kabigan Falls. So extreme! Reviews: Malacanang Of The North showed me a lot about the glory of the Philippines during Marcos regime. It was well maintained. St. Augustine Church in Baccara is old and a sight to behold with its buttresses and facade, it speaks of its history. Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is just amazing and a WOW. Several windmills to look at around. Beautiful and fairly easy hike up to the Kabigan Falls is great. It was so cold during our visit. Contact Details: Ilocos Norte Tel.
