AN 11.9-meter whale, which was spotted seemingly stranded in the waters off Patnanungan, Quezon, was rescued on Nov. 28 by a joint team of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Municipal Agriculture Office, and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Region 4A office in the town. The PCG Sub-Station Patnanungan reported that upon ocular inspection, the marine mammal, which could not be immediately verified to be sperm whale, had “bruises and wounds in different parts of its body.” The whale was successfully guided towards open water.
