Some Farm Friends


Animals live together with humans for millions of years now, proof were the ancient arts found on the cave walls and even fossilized animals along with remains of human in many archaeological sites in the world. As time goes by, the relationship between human and animal becomes more sophisticated and mutually beneficial as both work hand in hand to survive.

The dog which is typically labeled as man's best friend is considered the first domesticated animal. These canine companions serve as guardian and could even fight and sacrifice their own lives for the sake of their master. A noble act significantly one of the best characteristics of dogs.

Along with dogs, some species of  animals like horse and pig are also domesticated to provide assistance in the farm life. In Tinglayan, where I used to work as a CF (Community Facilitator) for a community development, dogs are can be found everywhere together with other farm animals.

It is said that native pigs taste better compared to commercially-fed counterparts.

Native Pigs in Tinglayan


          Traveling to different places in the Philippines, it is for sure that native pigs are not always to be seen.  Luckily, I had the moment of seeing the native pigs along the road going to Tinglayan, Kalinga. They are like stray dogs with no fear of walking along the main roads. 




          Some people claimed that a wild boar’s meat is tasty. It is uncommonly visible in the cities; perhaps importing them would be possible. I won’t be surprised if I brought native pigs at home. I like the idea; they are so adorable eating the grasses at the backyard.

Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden


Along the bike lane in Adriatico Street Malate Manila, the Manila Zoo Philippines are situated. The worth of visiting is like children's paradise, with the parents who wanted to see the different kinds of mammals, reptiles, birds and botanical gardens. It is the place where you can research facts about the creatures, the habitat suited for catering such wild animals.   




















The most awaited in focusing my attention is the elephant. At first, the animal was so busy being inside in his habitat. Eventually, he finally came out as he sees the people watching him. Finding his way on foot outside his house, outshine the day with the smiles worn by the audience.
