    Excerpt
    The release of a very rare and regarded as endangered soft-shelled turtle to its habitat in the Addalam River here was postponed for tourists to have a good look of its broad head, short snout and frog-like facial features. The release was postponed following the request of barangay officials and residents to show the turtle first to local tourists who are visiting their place and to have a closer view of the turtle. Ric Antonino, DENR information officer, said the DENR granted the barangay officials’ request to postpone the release for a few days on conditions that the residents must provide a comfortable place and sufficient food (grass and rice) for the turtle.
