Fourteen abandoned live sea turtles, or ‘pawikan’, were rescued by joint elements of Marine Battalion Landing Team-4 (MBLT-4), PNP Maritime and Philippine Coast Guard in an operation last Saturday, May 13 in Sitio Saod, Barangay Mangsee, Balabac, Palawan.
MBLT-4 Captain Wanel Ansa said in an interview with Palawan News that the rescue was made possible through the help of an “intelligence report” from the community.
