Hi, My Name is...70

Animals attack! Animals attacked!  It's an all out war between Filipinos and pets and wild animals. 

Hi, my name is dog. I saw a guy on an e-bike and chased after him barking wildly as he sped away. His name is Ivan. He later returned with an airlift gun and in revenge he shot me a few times. He was arrested for violating the COMELEC gun ban and for harming me.

A man was arrested after allegedly firing an airsoft gun at a dog that chased him in Naic, Cavite, on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

The Cavite Police Provincial Office identified the suspect as Ivan Paul R. De Guzman.

Initial investigation says the suspect was driving an e-bike when he was chased by the dog. A few moments later, he returned to the area with an air gun pistol and reportedly shot the dog, causing alarm in the vicinity.

Barangay officials immediately responded to the scene and sought the help of Naic Municipal Police Station (MPS).

Naic MPS Chief Col. Resty E. Soriano told the Manila Bulletin that the dog survived the attack but sustained red marks on the skin. Authorities are still waiting for the official medical report.

Recovered from the scene was a black air gun pistol loaded with 22 pellets.

The police stated that an air gun is not classified as a firearm because it uses air compression to propel the bullet rather than burning gunpowder or other combustion methods. 

However, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) gun ban covers “air gun, airsoft guns, and their replica/imitation in whatever form that can cause an ordinary person to believe that they are real.”

The suspect is now under the custody of Naic MPS and is facing charges for alarm and scandal and violating the Animal Welfare Act of 1998 and the Comelec gun ban.

Hi, my name is Gene's pet dog. We were both asleep on Gene's bed when all of a sudden there was a flood due to high tide. An electrical extension cord as plugged in next to the bed and the water caused it to electrocute both of us.

A 28-year-old man and his dog were electrocuted while sleeping after floodwaters from a high tide reached a plugged-in extension cord in Hagonoy, Bulacan, on Saturday, May 31.

The Hagonoy police identified the victim as Gene Darel Aguilar, a resident of Barangay San Isidro. 

According to the victim’s mother, her son was sleeping with his pet dog when the riverside water near their home suddenly rose due to high tide. 

He was later found unresponsive by his brother, lying beside his lifeless dog. 

He was immediately rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

Initial police investigation revealed that an electrical extension cord was plugged in near Aguilar’s bed. 

The family believes he may have underestimated the risk of rising water levels, not realizing the tide would reach the cord and result in electrocution.

At the time of the incident, Aguilar was reportedly alone in the house.

The victim’s mother appealed to both the national and local governments to provide a lasting solution to the flooding problem in their area—an issue residents have faced for decades, especially during high tide or heavy rainfall.

Barangay San Isidro village chief Nene Balatbat also called on concerned agencies to construct a durable barrier or dike to protect the community from frequent flooding.

Authorities reminded residents, particularly those living near rivers or low-lying areas, to be extra cautious during high tides or floods, warning that floodwaters can become deadly conductors of electricity—especially when damaged or exposed electrical lines are present.

Hi, we are 20 dogs and cats loaded on a boat bound for the Visayas. During transport we all died from heatstroke. It appears the shipping company did not provide air-conditioning.

Hi, my name is Oyong Miranda. I waded into a river to wash my feet when I was attacked by a crocodile. He wasn't very big so I wrestled him and pulled myself free from his jaws. I ended up having to get some stitches but am otherwise ok.

Village officials in Barangay Sumbiling in Bataraza town warned residents, especially children, to avoid swimming in the river that passes through the community while a rogue crocodile is on the loose.

Saramhel Armal, a barangay councilor in Sumbiling, on Wednesday told reporters that a village elder had been attacked by a crocodile as he waded in the river.

He reported that 71-year-old Oyong Miranda sustained bites in the leg and body soon after he went into the water close to where the apex predator was lying in wait.

Miranda was quoted as saying that he only went into the river to wash his feet when the attack took place around 5:30 pm on Tuesday.

The septuagenarian was able to break free from the animal’s jaws, as he reportedly “grappled” with the crocodile, which was described as not being very large.

After successfully extricating himself from the crocodile’s clutches, Miranda was rushed to the Rio Tuba Hospital where he received stitches for his wounds.

"He really didn't notice that there was a crocodile in the water he was lowering himself into. It just suddenly attacked him in the river behind their house," Armal said.

The victim is currently recovering from his wounds, the barangay official added.

Bataraza is a municipality located on the southernmost tip of Palawan Island, approximately 225 kilometers from here.

The municipality is known for having wild crocodiles roaming in its waters.

In January, residents of this town managed to capture a 15-foot saltwater crocodile but it died shortly after being shot at using a small-caliber firearm.

In July, a dead saltwater crocodile measuring 14.9 feet was found floating along the shoreline of Sitio Gunob in the town's Barangay Inogbong. 

Hi, my name is Johnmed Parungao. I shot my neighbor's cat in the head. It took her a year of securing CCTV footage to discover it was me and file charges. 

https://www.philstar.com/nation/2024/05/08/2353440/man-faces-raps-killing-neighbors-cat

A criminal case has been filed against a man who shot dead his neighbor’s cat in Manila.

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) and the cat’s owner filed a complaint against Johnmed Parungao before the Manila prosecutor’s office on May 3.

Parungao is facing charges for violating Republic Act 8485 or the Animal Welfare Act.

PAWS executive director Anna Cabrera said the cat was found dead by her owner with a gunshot to the head.

It took the cat’s owner nearly a year to identify Parungao as the culprit after she obtained closed-circuit television footage, which showed the suspect shooting the pet.

It was not determined what prompted Parungao to kill the cat.

If the complaint goes to court, the suspect is facing more than a year in prison and will be fined P100,000 if convicted.

Hi, our names are Leosette Canoy and Analyn Shurtliff Bartolome. We were out hiking in the backwoods of British Columbia when we were attacked by a black bear. While looking for a place to take some good pictures of the autumn leaves Analyn's son was confronted by a charging black bear. He acted in swift fashion by punching the bear as the British Columbia Parks Service advises. That did not stop it and we were all injured. Finally someone called 911 and the RCMP showed up and shot the bear dead. 

https://usa.inquirer.net/112968/two-filipinas-mauled-by-black-bear-in-canada

Two Filipino mothers are in critical condition after being mauled by a black bear while hiking on Oct. 3 in northeastern British Columbia.

Leosette Canoy, her friend Analyn Shurtliff Bartolome, her son and Canoy’s niece were walking on Monday on a cross-country trail on Bear Mountain,  south of Dawson Creek in the western Canadian province when the attack occurred.

Canoy has had more than six hours of surgery for the maiming she received to her arms, head, back, and ear. She is sedated and on a ventilator.

Her friend Analyn Bartolome may lose her left arm. She is at high risk of infection from the multiple lacerations on her body and her scalp.

The group “was looking for nice spots to take fall pictures with the autumn leaves,” Gary Hansen, Canoy’s husband, told told CBC News. Canoy, who arrived from the Philippines 15 years ago loves the Canadian wilderness, Hansen said.

As the group headed back home, Bartolome’s teenage son heard a noise and found himself facing a charging black bear.

He alerted the group, and as the British Columbia Parks Service advises when confronted with a predatory bear, he fought back, punching it. That didn’t stop the bear, and the boy suffered bad bruising around his ribs.

The bear then attacked Bartolome, and Canoy came to her defense, absorbing most of the injuries from the attack. The injured mothers lay on the ground as the bear circled around them.

Their companions tried to drive the bear away from them to no avail. They finally called 911. Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers arrived and shot the bear dead.

Canoy was airlifted to a hospital 600 kilometers away in Edmonton, and Bartolome was flown to Vancouver and remains in critical condition at an ICU.

Encounters between bears and humans have risen in recent years in Canada due to habitat loss, but fatal attacks are still rare – one every 5 years in British Columbia, according to British Columbia Conservation Foundation.

As of Thursday afternoon,  Canoy’s fundraiser had collected over $10,000, more, and Bartolome’s had brought in more than $11,600.
