Mukhang hindi lang matinding init ang pinoproblema ng ibang eskuwelahan ngayong kasagsagan ng El Niño phenomenon, kundi mga ahas din.

Ito ay matapos madiskbure ang isang makamandag na cobra na nagtatago sa ilalim bookshelf sa isang classroom sa Tayabas City sa Quezon Province.

Natagpuan ang cobra sa Dapdap Integrated School nitong April 2, 2024, dakong ika-4:00 ng hapon.

Sa FB page ng nabanggit na paaralan, idinetalye kung paano nadiskubre ang ahas sa classroom.

“A cobra was found by one of the job order personnel entering the classroom at 4:00 p.m. today,” ayon sa FB page.

Buti na lamang ay na-dismiss na ang klase nang makitang pumasok sa classroom ang ahas.

Nang maiparating ito sa pamunuan ng paaralan ay tumawag sila sa Tayabas City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Tayabas CENRO).

Ayon sa post, “CENRO personnel arrived at the school and quickly captured the cobra.”

Binanggit din dito na magsasagawa ang paaralan ng cleaning operation sa school environment para hindi na maulit ang pangyayari.

Post naman ng Tayabas CENTRO sa FB page nito: “Ang nasagip na ahas ay isang uri ng PHILIPPINE COBRA o Naja philippinensis – venomous snake o makamandag. Matapos itong masagip ay kaagad din na-turnover sa CENRO-Tayabas.”

NUMEROUS SIGHTINGS OF SNAKES DUE TO EL NIñO

Samantala, noon lamang Pebrero 2024 ay napaulat ang maraming kaso ng cobra sightings sa Cebu.

Tinukoy naman ng Department of Health Central Visayas (DOH 7) na ang El Niño o ang napakainit na panahon ng nangungunang dahilan kaya dumarami ang sigthings ng mga cobra.

Ipinaliwanag dito ni Shelbay Blanco ng DOH 7 health emergency management services na karaniwang naghahanap ng malalamig na lugar ang mga ahas na ito sa panahon ng matinding init.

Ito raw ang dahilan kung bakit maraming insidente ng mga namamataang cobra sa Cebu dahil naghahanap ang mga ito ng malalamig na lugar.

“With more provinces being affected by drought, we are also expecting and anticipating that more snakes will come out,” hayag ni Blanco, ulat ng Sunstar Cebu nito lamang Febuary 2024.

Bukod sa mainit na clima, ilan pang dahilan para lumabas ang mga ahas ay ang habitat disruption, tulad ng deforestation, kaya nabubulabog ang mga ahas.
