Did you know animals horns are made of keratin? The same material as your hair or fingernails.
True horns never stop growing:
Unlike antlers, which are shed and regrown annually by the deer family, true horns stay on an animal for its entire life and grow continuously.

🦈 THE WHALE SHARK, THE ROPE, AND A DECISION THAT HAS NO EASY ANSWER

What would YOU have done?

During a diving trip some time ago, I encountered this whale shark. At first glance, it was another incredible encounter with one of the ocean's gentle giants.

But then I saw the rope.

Wrapped tightly around its body, the rope had been cutting painfully into its back and fins for so long that the fins had already grown around it. This wasn't a fresh injury. This was a problem that had been developing over time.

And then came the difficult question:

DO WE INTERVENE, OR DO WE LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE?

Removing the rope was not as simple as jumping into the water with a knife.

⚠️ THE RISKS WERE REAL:

The rope could potentially pull a rescuer into a life-threatening situation.

It was nighttime, and other shark species had been reported in the area.

The whale shark could swim away at any moment.

The animal was far from land, making an immediate response much more complicated.

🚨 BUT HERE'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH NOTIFYING AUTHORITIES:

If we contacted authorities or rescue organizations, they could potentially be searching thousands of square kilometers of open ocean to find this one whale shark.

It was nighttime. The shark was not near land. There was no guarantee it would remain in the same area.

By the time a properly equipped rescue team arrived, the whale shark could be gone.

And then what?

Do we lose the opportunity to help an animal that may already be suffering? Or do we attempt an immediate rescue, knowing that the risks extend to the people trying to save it?

🤔 WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

OPTION 1️⃣ — LEAVE IT ALONE
Allow nature to take its course. Intervening could put human lives at risk.

OPTION 2️⃣ — NOTIFY AUTHORITIES AND RESCUE GROUPS
Report the whale shark and attempt to organize a rescue, knowing that locating it in thousands of square kilometers of nighttime ocean could be extremely difficult.

OPTION 3️⃣ — REMOVE THE ROPE IMMEDIATELY
Put the risks aside and attempt to free the whale shark that night, because every moment the rope remains could cause further damage.

THIS IS WHERE CONSERVATION GETS COMPLICATED.

We all want to save wildlife. We all want to do the right thing.

But what happens when helping one animal could put a human life at risk?

What happens when waiting for professional assistance means the animal could disappear into the open ocean?

And what happens when doing nothing could mean the rope continues cutting into the animal?

There are no easy answers. There are only difficult decisions and the responsibility to consider every life involved.

👇 NOW I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Would you choose 1, 2, or 3?

Tell me what you would have done and, more importantly, WHY.

Let's have an honest discussion about wildlife rescue, human responsibility, and the difficult choices that conservation sometimes demands.

Bones to Masterpiece

02/09/2026

Absolutely. I’d make people briefly think something is actually wrong, then reveal enough to reassure them without killing the mystery.

SORRY FOR THE SILENCE…

A few people have been asking why I haven’t posted any updates lately.

Well… there’s a reason.

I’m currently behind bars.

Don’t worry — I’m okay.
But I’ve been completely tied up with bones and a new project that has kept me locked away and working around the clock.

What I can tell you is that it involves TWO CETACEANS, a 100-year-old prison, and an exhibit that I hope will be ready for release by Saturday.

Until then, I’m going to be a little quiet.

More when I can.

And no… I’m not telling you what the two cetaceans are yet.

Stay tuned. Something interesting is coming. 🦴🔒

Thank You, CENRO — Somebody Is Doing Their Job

A sincere thank you to the Davao City CENRO team for once again stepping in and removing the piles of garbage that had accumulated directly in front of D' Bone Collector Museum.

For years, we have watched CENRO continue to do the hard, often thankless work of keeping Davao City clean. They respond, they clean, they enforce, and they keep trying — even when some Barangay officials seem to have perfected the art of looking the other way.

It is honestly remarkable that CENRO can keep cleaning up after the very people who are supposed to be responsible for keeping their own barangay clean in the first place.

So, thank you CENRO. Your efforts are noticed and appreciated.

And to our dear Barangay leadership and staff: perhaps consider this post your gentle reminder that garbage doesn't become less of a problem simply because nobody wants to take responsibility for it. 😏

Davao City deserves better than waiting for CENRO to come along and clean up what Barangay officials should have addressed themselves.

Salamat, CENRO. You keep proving that somebody is paying attention.

A Sincere Apology to Our Visitors

We would like to apologize for the rather unusual welcome awaiting you outside D' Bone Collector Museum Inc.

For the past 14 years, we have worked hard to make our museum one of Davao City's leading tourism and environmental education facilities. We teach conservation, environmental responsibility, and the importance of keeping our communities clean.

So naturally, we're a little embarrassed that this is what greets our visitors at the museum gate.

Davao City proudly promotes itself as one of the cleanest and most disciplined cities in the Philippines. Unfortunately, it appears that reputation doesn't always make it as far as our front door.

Despite repeated concerns, the lack of enforcement, action, and basic attention to the area continues to leave visitors with an impression that is somewhat different from the image our city works so hard to promote.

Rest assured, once you enter the museum, we can guarantee the quality of your experience.

What we cannot guarantee is the quality of the journey getting here.

Perhaps consider the garbage outside the gate a free, hands-on environmental education lesson before you even buy your ticket.

We just wish it wasn't part of the exhibit.
