Last July 10, 2017, Manila Ocean Park welcomes newly hatched baby penguin from the penguin couple, Jiggy and Roukia. Starting from Kaya, the first baby penguin of Jiggy and Roukia, this will be their 7th baby since then and we’re still waiting for the second egg to hatch by Saturday. The baby penguin is still being monitored for its weight.

   For the record, this is the 13th baby that was born in Manila Ocean Park under the proper care of Curatorial, Animal Encounters and Veterinarian team.

Manila Ocean Park’s banner CSR program is called “I LOVE MY OCEAN PLANET”. A campaign that encourages volunteerism, public education and community mobilization activities designed to increase public awareness and action on coastal management issues and instill pride in our country’s natural resources. It is an expanded responsibility of stewardship not only with marine biodiversity but also with other creatures who are dependent on the wellness of the ocean.

Manila Ocean Park is fully aware of its obligation to reach a broad public and impart necessary information relevant to current environmental issues. It is our aim that the “Back to the Wild” Release program will be a step in the right direction for marine education and conservation. We hope that more people will do their share in ensuring the future generations will be able to enjoy and see these fascinating animals in their natural habitat.
