The peaceful coastal barangay of Sabang West in the third-class municipality of Bugasong, Antique, became an instant marine hotspot when a number of sea turtles began laying their eggs in the seashore. It was in the morning of December 19, 2014, when the first turtle was spotted by a villager about to attend the Simbang Gabi (Dawn Mass) in town proper. The barangay immediately informed the Municipal Agriculturist Office (MAO) and secured the nest.
