Crocodiles Join the Flood Victims in the Philippines

There has been rumors of crocodile joining the flood victims in Cainta Rizal. The rumors circulated said that five crocodiles escaped from the crocodile farm and only 4 crocodiles were caught back. This was reported by the ABS CBN news last Wednesday and the Rizal Crocodile Farm assure the public that is was not true.

However, a cellphone photograph of a crocodile swimming somewhere in Cainta was spotted by certain Michael Lambert and the other two witnesses namely Kenneth Taneo and Marie Tan

I googled this topic the next day yet only this article was found. On Thursday ABS CBN news, DENR had inspected the farm and found a certain part of the crocodile farm destroyed by Ondoy typhoon. Yet, the government officials were again assured that ALL crocodiles were accounted for and the spotted crocodile was not in any way connected to them.

It dishearten me, that the flood victims now has another concern to worry. They do not only worry about their daily bread but also worry about being the crocodile's daily bread.It was hard enough for the Filipino people to deal with allegorical crocodiles in the Philippine government and the LITERAL CROCODILE seems to add up to their worries.

Some commented that facing the literal crocodile is much way better than facing the two legged, lying and smiling crocodile in the government seat.
