Sine Totoo presents "Sisid"

Episode on November 29, 2008 Saturday, 11:15 p.m. More than seven thousand islands make up our vast archipelago, and yet little is known about what lies beneath our seas. A deep dive reveals an entirely different world just waiting to be explored. Last summer, GMA Public Affairs took the plunge with the underwater special "Sisid" to reveal some of the country's marine marvels. This Saturday, Sine Totoo brings back three of the amazing and unexpected tales the team brought home from under the sea. Tubattaha Reef, off the coast of the Palawan Islands, is nominated as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Miriam Quiambao and Doc Ferds Recio explore Tubattaha's giant corals and underwater species to showcase the Philippines' pride. Stories of the past also unfold in Malapascua, Cebu, as Howie Severino looks back on one of the biggest sea disasters in the country. He delves deep into the sunken ship, Dona Marilyn, which claimed the lives of 500 people twenty years ago. Together with a survivor, Howie recounts the stories of those whose lives were changed by this tragedy of the sea. Doc Ferds travels to Turtle Islands, Tawi-Tawi - a major nesting ground of the endangered Green Sea Turtle. With their underwater cameras, Doc Ferds' team captures a moment that has been rarely seen on television - the mating of giant turtles. Sine Totoo host Howie Severino interviews one of the special's hosts Doc Ferds Recio and executive producer LJ Castel. They discuss how producing an underwater documentary turned out to be a logistically challenging experience. Dive into the mysterious and fascinating underwater world. Catch "Sisid" this Saturday night on Sine Totoo.

Napapalibutan ng karagatan ang mahigit pitong libong isla ng Pilipinas. Pero malaking bahagi ng ating kayamanan ang tila sikretong nakatago sa naiibang mundo sa ilalim ng dagat.na naghihintay lamang tuklasin at sisirin. Dahil dito, binuo ang "Sisid", ang Underwater Special ng GMA News and Public Affairs. Ngayong Sabado, mapapanood muli sa Sine Totoo ang tatlo sa mga kuwentong ito mula sa ilalim ng ating karagatan. Naglakbay patungong Tubbataha Reef sina Miriam at Doc Ferds para patunayan kung karapat-dapat nga ba itong hirangin bilang isa sa "7 New Wonders of Nature". " Tinuklas din sa dokumentaryo ang mga bahagi ng ating kasaysayan na nakalubog sa pusod ng karagatan. Dinayo ni Howie ang isla ng Malapascua sa Cebu para hanapin ang MV Doña Marilyn, na lumubog noong 1988 kung saan 500 ang namatay. Binisita naman ni Doc Ferds ang Turtle Islands sa Tawi-Tawi - na isa sa pangunahing nesting ground ng nanganganib nang lahi ng Green Sea Turtle. Sa ilalim ng dagat, nakuhanan ng grupo ni Doc Ferds sa camera ang mating ng mga pawikan - na bihirang masaksihan sa telebisyon. Nakapanayam ni Howie Severino ng Sine Totoo sina Doc Ferds Recio, isa sa mga host ng "Sisid", at si LJ Castel, ang executive producer.
