But instead of warning the public about the danger that could be posed by the crocodiles, the Mabuwaya Foundation is asking people not to harm the reptiles should they chance upon them.
“The people do pose a threat to the crocodiles. It is our fear that crocodiles are being killed,” Mabuwaya Foundation Chief Operating Officer Marites Gatan-Balbas told the Manila Bulletin.
