Born Biographies: Fr. Neri Satur and Leonard Co
Part II on Wednesday, May 1
Born to be Wild’s special series on the life and death of two environmental figures continues this Wednesday.
A word of warning
Barely a year into the priests’ work as forest officers in Bukidnon, the parish secretary Tata Cuas receives a warning. A man wearing a mask tells her that there is an ambush being planned for Fr. Neri Satur, one of the leading figures in the anti-illegal logging movement in the early nineties. But the warning does not scare the priest, who continues to preach about the importance of forests during his Sunday sermons.
In Fr. Neri’s time up until 1993, illegally cut logs worth millions of pesos were seized by the priests working as forest officers.
To see the forests that Fr. Neri once worked hard to protect, Doc Nielsen and the team climb the mountain of Kalatungan and discover that this is the last remaining intact forest in the area of the slain priest.
A love for leaves
Leonard Co was the Philippines’ foremost botanist before he was killed while working on tree research in Leyte in 2010.
Leonard Co showed his interest in Science as a young boy. In grade school, Leonard’s parents noticed his curiosity with the things around him. After school, his mother would notice Leonard carrying a bag of small stones, which he picked on his way home. He would arrange the stones in his room while his siblings played outside. In high school, he became passionate about plants. He joined a mountaineering group and would collect and study the different kinds of leaves he saw along the way. Early on, Leonard discovered the importance of plants and studied their value as herbal medicine.
Before his death, Leonard Co sought to complete and update the list of Philippine plant species. Doc Ferds Recio retraces the steps of Leonard Co in Isabela, which the botanist described as the most beautiful place on earth. Find out what Leonard Co discovered there.
Actor Ping Medina plays Fr. Neri Satur and Jacob Raterta plays the young Leonard Co in dramatizations that depict the life and death of these two environmental figures.
