“Submariner”
Into the Blue

In Malita, Davao del Sur, fishermen such as Dodo (in photo) earn from part-time gigs as dugong guides. Here he plunges into the blue of the Davao Gulf with major lung power and two nifty homemade diving gear: an antipara (or native goggles made of carved wood and bottle glass), and a single fin made from a piece of plywood attached to one leg.

Babuyan Whale Photo by Ivan Sarenas

“Babuyan Whale”

Showtime
On a cetacean surveying expedition with the WWF off the coast of the Babuyan islands, Ivan Sarenas helped track the whale population by taking photographs of the whales. And the water world’s friendly giants did not disappoint – putting on a show for a boatload of wildlife conservationists, one particular humpback makes a might leap out of the water and literally makes a big splash.
