We pretty much had no clue where to bird around Tagbilaran city and the local TAs warned that there would be little to see, but we decided to go check out our surroundings anyway, I mean, with all the vegetation around, there’s bound to be some scrub birds at least. Upon waking up in Dao […]

Huge congratulations to Charina, who recently received her PhD from University of San Carlos in Cebu. Knowing the challenges she faced, I’m so proud and happy for her !  

Our class had loads of fun planting our trees at the ANR site! All of us a hoping that our plants grow up strong and well. We’re now in BBC where the connection is better! We did the bat activity last night where we caught a dog-faced fruit bat in a mist net, took some […]

It gave us the opportunity to find out interesting stuff from people’s perception, and it definitely gave us creeps when we listened to the stories some of them […]
