    Whale won’t leave coast, dies while being treated
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-10-07)
    Fishermen found the 2-meter long whale beached along Dasol Bay on Sept. 23 and brought it back to the sea. But it was sighted again in the afternoon on the same day so village officials decided to bring it to the BFAR facility in Alaminos City. Samantha Licudine, a BFAR veterinarian, said the whale had many scratches in the body and had a deep cut near its snout. “Maybe it was trying to escape from something so there was a laceration,” she said. The whale was given intensive medication and was under observation when it died.

    Whale nursed back to health in La Union
    Sotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2017-05-08)
    Sto. Tomas, La Union—In a concrete tank, “Agustina” swims feebly, aided by an orange floater from which it tries to wriggle away. Agustina is a female melon-headed whale that was stranded on a beach in the coastal village of San Agustin in San Fernando City on April 30. The 6.2-foot- (1.89 meters) long whale was rescued and brought to a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) facility here on a Sunday when its tanks were empty and its staff was not around. The whale bore scratch marks all over its body and fins. It also had wounds which could have been inflicted by other creatures like sharks or when it hit rocks or was caught by a net, according to the BFAR staff.
