Manila Zoo remains the same since the last time we
visited except for a few minor changes including the switching of animal cages
and assigned locations plus displayed billboard maps of the zoo courteousy of
students from a nearby ABE College campus
Another significant update will be about Mali the elephant. Due to the advocacy of PETA Asia and the petition from various
organizations, Mali will soon be relocated overseas to a natural elephant
habitat where she can spend the rest of her remaining old age amongst her own
kind. I don’t intend to advocate nor contradict campaigns against publicly
displaying animals. This post is only an introduction to a video with images of
Manila Zoo.
Like the first time I visited Manila Zoo (yes it was my
first time then and I felt like being a kid again), it was drizzling too this
time on a weekday with numerous visitors flocking the zoo premises. I have a
better camera to use now but the images remain similarly memorable with each
memories preserved on pictures and videos. I’ve uploaded the images and
converted them into a YouTube. See video below.
Manila Zoo, with or without Mali will remain a
significant part of Manila this year 2013 and backwards or onwards. Countless kids have
literally grown up visiting the place from their childhood up until they have
kids of their own. My significant other is one of them and he talks about the
decades old concrete slide nostalgically when our own child and my niece were
playing there recently.
