Unidentified aquatic plants





Could this be a ceferus helferi



An aquatic plant similar to the one found in Kawasan


A 100% shistosomiasis infested area. Boots is a necessity



Areas we visited for possible presence of aquatic plants



Agusan River about 150 km away from the mouth of the river. The background mountain is Mt. Diwata or Mt Diwalwal where extensive gold mining operation is going on since 1977. Picture taken at Sta Josefa

COLLECTING FRESHWATER FISHES AT TRENTO, SANTA JOSEFA AND VERUELA, all of Agusan del Sur and all sharing a common boundary of Compostela Valley (formerly Davao del Norte)


Durian sold along the highway. Still available though its not durian season


Downstream side of Agusan River and about 150 km from the mouth of the river.


Traversing the gravel paved road of nowhere (San, Jose, Veruela)


I hope this road will be finished on time


Side road excavation of red clay. Wow great for substrate for planted aquarium


Gi bulldoze lang ang para pang substate. Hehehehe P15 per kilo


Giant fern at the base of the forest


Falcata trees which is not endemic or native in the Philippines. An introduced variety


Illegal logging



Carabao logging


We entered this area which is the haven of NPAs, we got a safe conduct pass anyway. From here goin inside for 4 km, that is where I stay during my three years stint inside the forest. After 39 years karon pa ko kabalik ini nga lugar.


The river where previously we drink directly on it. No boiling! Wa man sab ko masakit!


Our first catch, lots of 3 spot barbs and a fish variety which we could not identify



Our second stop is under this bridge


Signage says its the boundary of Compostela Valley. Few kilometers from this place, at Pasian (about 15 km) NPAs conducted a checkpoint and capture two policemen yesterday on board the Bachelor Bus. Here is a link NPAs seize soldier, 2 cops in Compostela | The Philippine Star >> News >> Nation


Netting fish under the bridge


Again our catch "paitan" or "gabot", a three spot barb
