Baclayon, Bohol: A 1.3 meters dead melon headed whale (Peponocephala electra) was found floating at around 4 km south west of Pamilacan Island at 7:41 AM Saturday, August 19, 2009. The whale was found by the crew of MB/CA PIBOSA - Pamilacan Tours 2 namely Daniel Operio - Boat Captain and assisted by Efipanio Operio, Apolinar Miculob with Local Guide Mary Aguipo. They were searching for dolphins and whales in the area when they sighted the whale. The whale is believed to be dead 5 or 7 days ago as it is already at the decomposing stage.
The whale was brought to the Baluarte, Baclayon for some identification. Mayor Alvin Uy was informed by Jojo Baritua of the Pamilacan Island Boat Operators and Spotters Association (PIBOSA) which immediately proceeded to Baluarte. Both parties agreed that the whale will be buried immediately.
