Tungtong River on GMA 7 Born to Be Wild
The frogs of the Tungtong River was featured in GMA 7′s Born to be Wild show last November 16, 2011. Holistic Education and Development Center 4th yr HS students Bella Fernandez, Fatima Fernandez-Cuervo, Julia Gaurano, and Sam Santos spent nearly 10 hours from Nov 15, 330PM, to Nov 16, 130AM working with TV show host Kiko Rustia. The students have chosen to study the frogs of Tungtong River for their 4th yr thesis project in Science. The documentary shown in two parts below is testament to the enthusiasm and professionalism with which they pursue their chosen topic both as a subject requirement but more so as a personal commitment to the protection and conservation of the Tungtong River wildlife. Cheers!

Look through the shady leaves of summer

Look through the shady trees of summer
Hear the song of the birds
Run with the waters of the river
You’ll never realize
How much will be wasted
If this was never seen
Hidden, as people may find it
Wrecked, as the creatures see it
Happiness it’s filled with
Tears of the rain it’s submerged in
Leaves fall down from the branches
Down they go with laughter and sadness
They go on a long way
And then,
They stop.
I climb down the rocks
To hear the sound of the rush
The crystals hidden in the water
Stay hidden
And could never be found
The footprints of children stay in there
For it cannot forget the happiness it had
When it had people that see its beauty
No ordinary person could see
Shout at the rocks
Hear no reply
Peacefully it sits near the waters
It doesn’t want anything
But silence
And the melody of the falls
Slowly the grass dances
With the wind
Gracefully it sways
To the leaps of the insects
If this was never found,
What would it be now?
