Akala ko yung mga gulong. Inilaw ko tinignan ko wala. Tapos yung pangalawang paghiga ko may tumunog ulit, nung inilaw ko ulit, nung biglang gumalaw, ahas na."The python, which weighed 15 kilograms, was turned over by the Bauang Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.Forest Ranger Omar Ali explained that the snake may have been washed to a nearby drainage canal.The python was brought to Botanical Garden in San Fernando City, La Union for safekeeping.Pythons are considered vulnerable species, and can be found in the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources' red list.People who are caught harming the species can face imprisonment ranging from one month and one day to three months and could face levies ranging from P 5,000 to P20,000.
