Clam selfie

Edward Quezon, a tour guide with Taklobo Tours at Samal Island in Davao del Norte, shows off the giant clam to tourists on a recent dive. About 3,700 giant clams or ‘taklobo’ are scattered across a 14-hectare sea sanctuary and community eco-tourism project managed by the AdeCor United Fisherfolks Organization in partnership with the local government of the Island Garden City of Samal and the Davao del Norte State College.
