The turtle, which has a carapace length of 1.75 m, weighs approximately 500 kg, and is female, is said to be a lot bigger than the one that got stranded in the same barangay in July 2018.
The turtle was reportedly entangled in a fishing net.
Balatan, Camarines S can be considered a hotspot area for marine turtles due to frequent strandings.
