Magpasa din sila ng bill sa kamara at senado dahil sa dami buwaya doon na napakalupit at kapal ng mga mukha.
BUNAWAN, Agusan del Sur, Philippines—Local officials here are bent on declaring “Lolong,†the world’s largest saltwater crocodile in captivity that died Sunday night, as its hero through an ordinance that the Sangguniang Bayan has agreed to pass.
Mayor Edwin Elorde said the town’s councilors agreed during a meeting on Monday that Lolong deserved to be declared a hero for bringing prestige to the town, which found a place on the world map following Lolong’s capture in September 2011.
“We agreed to honor him as a hero through local ordinance so that such legislative move will be permanent,†Elorde said.
Elorde, who said in previous interviews he had become so attached to Lolong that he regarded the reptile as “a son,†said the crocodile’s capture also raised awareness on the need to protect the biodiversity of the vast Agusan Marsh, part of which falls under his town’s jurisdiction.
