The
history of Malabon Zoo began on a hunting trip in the
tropical rainforest in Mindoro 41 years ago. He, Manny
Tangco, the owner of Malabon Zoo was 5 years old at that
time.
Manny together with his family go on a trip to explore
the beauty of the environment and the lives of the animals,
he loves animals and he hates people who hurt those them.
In the middle of their trip, they saw illegal loggers
destroying the forest. This activity made it impossible
for the animals to live and survive. The wonderful forest
turned into an abandoned one, the loggers perform kaingin
(burning an area in the forest) continuously to be use
for commercial purposes. At a very young age reality faced
him, and he realized that there are people who didn’t
care for the animals; they do all the things for their
sake. During night the forests seems hell because of the
smog due to kaingin.
The story behind Noah’s arc comes to his mind and
inspire him, he promised himself that he will never do
what illegal loggers do, in fact he will construct a somewhat
arc and the animals will be put there to be free from
those rock-hearted people.
