Crocodile sighted swimming in Cainta—TV report
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Floods covering large parts of Manila have brought a new intruder—a crocodile, which was seen swimming in a village in Cainta, Rizal, local television reported Wednesday.
Top broadcaster ABS-CBN quoted local residents as saying that they spotted the five-foot long crocodile late Monday as they made their way through flooded streets of the town.
Resident Michael Lambert said he and his friends saw a floating object which they thought might be a tire.
“It was pitch black. There was no electricity or whatever. But we had a flashlight. We trained our flashlight on the thing and saw that it was a crocodile,” Lambert told the television station.
The group took refuge on a mound of soil and Lambert took a picture which he posted on his Facebook page. It shows a partially submerged object that resembles a crocodile floating beside some houses.
Lambert suggested that the animal may have escaped from a zoo during the floods unleashed when Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (international codename: Ketsana) hit the country on Saturday.
However, some officials said it may have simply been washed out of a nearby swamp by the floods.
ABS-CBN quoted local police as confirming that a crocodile was roaming Cainta but gave no details. Crocodiles are indigenous to the Philippines but are rarely seen near inhabited areas.

Hinahanap siguro ng Crocs ang mga kamaganak. Dapat doon siya pumunta sa Pasig river. Kapag may nakitang palasyo, gumapang siya doon. Mabubusog siya doon.
Crocodile is not really rare in this part of the world, in fact, they roam around the hall of congress and there is actually a rare breed that lives in a palace with its family.
That will put the alleged story of Mikey buying liquor during the onslaught of typhoon ondoy to rest. He is actually seen in the picture looking for his next prey.
The crocodiles are in the palace!

Naligaw yata ang buwaya..marami yan ahh!…sa Tongress
at sa may ilog- pasig…baka may hina-hanap sa Marikina, Pasig na mga kasamahan. Mabuti walang nabiktima yang buwayang iyan ?..
Yan ang orig,due to evolution,naging parang tao na rin sila,nakakapagsalita,pa english inglish pa nga.kung ano-ano pa ang hawak na diploma at dahil nga makapal ang balat ng crocs,yong parang tao,makapal din ang mukha.na adopt pa nila ang ugali ng isang tuko,kaya naging kapit-tuko pa sila.
Pauwi na yang croc, nakunan siyang papunta na sa pasig river. Animagus actually talaga siya. Pagdating sa palasyo, tada! Transform!
Today, on the Front page of the TorStar, another class of crocodile was hunted down by the Star’s investigative reportings…the city’s contractor of processing the “wet garbage” for a premium turning them into decomposed fertilizer was caught trucking them to the same landfill the City dump the Dry Garbage in Flint, Michigan…a notice of termination was given effective Tomorrow…the power of Media..and we have been separating our garbage all along and it took the Media to find out.

E di naniwala na kayo sa akin na merong mga buwaya na nasa baha? Araw-araw nga nasa TV yung buwaya na may nunal.
Naaalala pa ba ninyo yung buwayang nakita sa likod ng quarters ni Leandro Mendoza sa Crame (O si Hermogenes Ebdane yata yun) nung Chief PNP pa siya? Magtataka pa ba tayo e kampo ng mga buwaya yon.
Tulungan nyong makabalik ang crocodile dun sa “may Pasig” andun ang mga magulang nyan!
@equalizer,
you missed mentioning yong crocodile na mahilig uminom nang alak.
O baka yan ang mother crocodile sa EK na nagpasyal sa Cainta. Kung may nunal, yun na. Kung parang nawawala at senglot, yun ang dyunyor. Kung floating naman ang tiyan sa busog, yun ang ama.
TonGuE-tWisTeD, I thought it will still be tomorrow that GMA is scheduled to go to Cainta?
jm, advance party ni GMA yung buwaya. Tinitignan kung kaya ng ina ng lahi.
“Crocodile sighted in Cainta”
Uy, wag kayong ganyan.. sabihin na nman ni Mickey, sinisiraan sya.. sabihin na naman nya, hindi sya yan! lol
Nagsagawa na ocular inspection and DENR at isang mayor sa crocodile farm kung talgang safe ang kulungan at walang makakalabas na buwaya..
bakit kaya hindi sila sa malacanan mag ocular inspection? Don, marami silang makikitang nakakawalang buwaya!
nakupo! para isang buwaya lang nasindak na ang iba at ginawa pang news. eh katakot-takot ang dami ng mga buwayang naglipana mula sa malacanang, congress at iba pang ahensiya ng … tulad ng sabi ni Tongue… isang buwayang meron nunal! hehehehe!
Naligaw ang buwaya sa Cainta. Akala niya nasa Malacanang o Tongresshouse.
I pray that crocodile crocs Gloria’s feet; if it does, it will deserve the gratitude of an entire nation!
Kawawa naman ‘yung buwayang nakita sa Cainta. Nagtiis sa maruming tubig basha sa paghahanap sa kanyang dating tirahan. Siguro’y nagngingitngit doon sa mga buwayang nasa konkretong pond sa gilid ng ilog Pasig sapagkat bukod sa malinis ang tubig na pinaglalanguyan ay alaga pa sa masasarap na pagkain na hindi inorder kung saan lang kundi ihinanda pa ng with matching royal service. At may kasunod pa ‘yung mamamahaling alak, ha? Ibang klase talaga.
Tsk. tsk.. tsk.
