Guston, SLSU Bontoc - Ms. Natasha TOP The Man & The Whale There is a time in one’s life when a single event can drastically alter the course he is heading for. In Pastor Ernesto Faliccio’s case it was for the better. Ernesto who is now a keeper and protector of whalesharks was once one of its most dreaded enemy. Faliccio who was a former whaleshark hunter, saw the right path and was converted after experiencing an almost deadly experience in the waters off the coast of Pintuyan town. Ernesto had lined up a buyer from Bohol for the tiki-tiki he caught. For the catch he was going to get around 5,000 pesos from the buyer for each whaleshark caught and delivered. He then proceeded to the part of sea which the Whalesharks usually frequented. After a few hours of waiting he saw a school of whalesharks. After nearing one, he drove his harpoon deep into the back of one of the giant creatures when he heard something snap. Before he knew what had happend it was to late, the line holding the shark and the boat got wrapped around Ernestos leg and just like Captain Ahab in Moby Dick he was dragged into the sea by the whaleshark. Accepting his fate he said a final prayer to God to spare his life. Suddenly the rope loosened and he found himself floating towards the surface of the water to safety. The incident gave him a new found respect towards nature and all its inhabitants. Now Ernesto has and a new calling in life and that is to protect the world’s largest fish. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The peoples organization which is based in Barangay Son-Ok in Pintuyan town can help you with your Whaleshark sighting needs.
