LOOK: The Country’s Largest Marine Protected Area Is In The Visayas!

Beautiful seascapes, deep waters, and thriving marine life is what this body of water in the Visayas has!

Known as the Tañon Strait, it is the separator of Cebu and Negros Islands in the Visayas region. It connects the Bohol and Visayan Seas together even if both waters are from opposing sides wherein the Visayan Sea is in the north while Bohol Sea’s in the south. Measuring up to 160 kilometers long and up to 27 kilometers wide, the strait became constant pathways for dolphins and whales to pass by.

A 5,000 Square Kilometer Body Of Water

For comparison, the entire Cebu island is 5,342 sq km in terms of land areas. Now imagine a body of water as large as the whole Cebu and is surrounding the island itself! That’s how wide the Tañon Strait is.

Because of the vast coverage of the strait and its blooming marine life, President Ramos passed the Proclamation No. 1234 of 1998 for its protection under the name Tañon Strait Protected Seascape.

Marine Life At The Strait

Based on the research done by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the other associated organizations protecting marine life, there are 11 different species of marine mammals that can be found in the strait, and here are some of them:

Sea cows

Also known as the mythical “dugong” in Filipino lore. Sea cows or manatees are relatives of elephants and they consume a vegetarian diet, so you don’t have to worry about them looking at you for dinner when you do get to swim with one of them.

Whales

Some of the species of whales spotted at the strait included the baleen, dwarf sperm whales, melon-headed whales, short-finned pilot whales, and the toothed whales. A rare sighting though would be the whale sharks!

Dolphins

There are several types of dolphins that can be seen at the strait such as the bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, and the Irrawaddy dolphins.

Fish

Pacific bluefin tunas, parrotfish, checked snappers, and groupers thrive at the Tañon Strait, and they serve the main source of livelihood for the fisherfolk.

Large Squid

Known by locals as the “dalupapa”, this large squid can grow up to 100 cm and can weigh up to 20kg! Locals wade through the waters of the strait at night since it is the time when the dalupapa can easily be caught.

The Legend Of The Whirlpool At Tañon Strait

Tañon Strait is known to have random bouts of whirlpools and this phenomenon became the reason for tales in Cebuano folklore.

Photo from Canva

According to mythology, Sinogo, one of the winged giant messengers of the supreme god Kaptan, stole a sacred shell that gives the power of shape-shifting. Punished for his theft, Sinogo fled west and used the shell to turn himself into a giant crocodile, seeking refuge in the waters between modern-day Cebu and Negros.

Photo from Canva

In anger, Kaptan struck Sinogo with lightning, condemning him to eternal imprisonment in what is now known as Tañon Strait. But, even though he betrayed Kaptan, the god preserved Sinogo’s sacred crocodile form out of love. So the legend goes that when whirlpools appear on the strait, it means that Sinogo is attempting his next escape.

The Odd Beauty of Grunge: A Fashion Guide

Interested in Grunge Fashion? This guide is for you!

Before anything else, let’s first discover the history and definition of grunge. It is essential to know the meaning of something before getting ourselves into it. 

What is Grunge?

To begin with, Grunge is a genre under alternative rock which emerged in the mid-1980’s. It originated in Seattle, Washington. It is also an American slang term for “dirt” or “rubbish”. This subculture was also an American movement concerned with social justice. Grunge is sort of an anti-fashion response, specifically implying looking down upon the “conformity” of  fashion. Moreover, it is also a form of encouragement for musicians to dress authentically rather than glamouring themselves. Grunge music usually consists of rebellious lyrics that are mostly related to social issues or relationships. The peak of this Movement involved a well-known band called Nirvana.

What is Grunge Fashion?

This fashion style refers to the clothes, accessories, basically a visual representation of grunge music. The major element of this style is using sturdy thrifted clothes in a loose style specifying the wearer’s silhouette.

How to Dress Grunge

Starting the game up by listening to bands under this genre is particularly a good step as listening to its associated music genre starts influencing your taste in fashion. You may also find various in-depth inspirations. Welcome to the world of Grunge! Do not forget that the main point of this style is to dress recklessly! Go out and be unbothered about other people’s opinions towards the way you express yourself in clothes. Painting this mindset is a really vital step in dressing grunge! After implementing these initial steps, let’s continue with the basic guide to dressing in grunge style.

Make-Up

Smokey eyeshadow, bold eyeliner, sharp eyebrows, multi-layered mascara, and lacquered lips.

Accessories

Metal chains, leather chokers, black nail polish, leather belts, and beanies.

Wardrobe 

Lumberjack shirts, flannel, baggy pants, long slip skirts, striped long sleeve tees, band shirts, vintage sweaters, black boots, and of course, converse shoes. Don’t forget that layering is an essential part of styling your clothes too! 

Overall, grunge fashion serves as a unique and expressive style characterized by layering, distressed clothings, messy and bold make-up, combat boots and dirty converse. As time continues running, this style also continues evolving into a versatile and adaptable aesthetic. Let us not forget that the key to mastering grunge fashion is embracing its inherent sense of rebellion, authenticity, and nonconformity.
