Another top-caliber production that attempts to bring environmental issues closer to home.
Taking on the challenge of putting Mother Nature's welfare at the forefront, GMA Pinoy TV has hatched BORN TO BE WILD, another top-caliber production that attempts to bring environmental issues closer to home.
Featuring up close encounters with nature and wildlife, Born to be Wild is a must-see TV offering like no other. Entirely devoted to environment and wildlife conservation, the show is currently the only one of its kind on Philippine television.
Born to be Wild goes underwater to swim alongside sea creatures, and will take viewers trekking through mountains and deep caverns to discover endemic and endangered species.
At the heart of these adventures is a desire to make environmental concerns more real to viewers, and encourage active participation in nature conservation.
The show is hosted by one of Philippines' famed Everest mountaineer, Romi Garduce, and popular veterinarian, Dr. Ferdinand Recio. Both persons who have the credentials to host the show for not only are they environment-and-animal enthusiasts, but also because they have had significant exposure to nature and wildlife.
As the Everest man who has paid homage to the world's highest peak, Romi Garduce on the one hand, proves there's more to him than conquering peaks and glaciers.
He is a dive master and is constantly involved in various ecological causes such as reconstructing coral reefs in different parts of the country.
Also, Garduce is extremely passionate about environmental issues, including the protection of critically endangered species.
Without plans for marriage in the foreseeable future, Garduce regards the environment as his very "girlfriend," stating that "The environment is like a girlfriend. As in a serious relationship, you would want it to last longer. You wouldn't want a disrupted relationship, and you wouldn't want her to get back at you after the hurting stage. That's why we need to care for it."
On the other hand, his partner in exploring the environment, Dr. Ferdinand Recio, has seven years of veterinary practice under his belt and a specialization in animal surgery. And on Born to be Wild, part of his mission is to go deep into the wilderness to rescue and care for animals in distress,
"I see the importance of all lives. Be it an animal or a plant, there's a reason why they are there. And we should give importance to all who give balance to our ecosystem," Recio shares.
More importantly, what both Garduce and Recio want to do with Born to be Wild is to create action beyond awareness, and encourage active involvement from a wide share of audiences - all social classes included.
They want to highlight that which is often neglected, and raise the level of appreciation for nature as both of them honestly believe that the Philippine environment is in great danger, rating the country an "eight" on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the worst case possible.
But there is still hope, they say, and this is the reason why Garduce and Recio took the challenge to stand at the frontline of Born to be Wild - because the two believe in what the show has to say.
And for its premiere episode, Born to be Wild brings amazing animal encounters to your TV screens.
Romi Garduce explores a remote mountain town in Calatrava, Negros where he meets feisty, little Macaque monkeys. Unlike other animals in the wild, these monkeys are sociable with people, and even look to the locals regularly for food. Garduce takes a close look at these creatures and discovers that even in the monkey world, there is politics, social etiquette and a systematic way of life.
But apart from observing real-life monkey business, he also uncovers the dangers that threaten the survival of these fascinating animals.
In Palawan's Calauit Island, veterinarian Ferdinand Recio discovers a curious Philippine safari of sorts.
He hops on a safari jeep to see wild animal after wild animal. But his visit is not for leisure. On this island paradise, zebra, giraffe and other animals are in need of medical attention. Recio and the Calauit caregivers give relief to these animals, curing their wounds and attending to their medical needs.
Far from the comfort of his clinic, where he usually treats domesticated animals, Recio finds a different kind of comfort in helping animals in the wild.
Through their adventures, Garduce and Recio discover that what it takes to truly get to know nature is the willingness to explore the unknown, getting out of your comfort zone, and going wild, wild, wild!
