According to Ms. Oblan, the Asian Palm Civet entered their house at around 10 PM on April 7. Knowing such wildlife species needs to be protected, she immediately reported the said incident to the PCSDS.

In the initial assessment done by the PCSD staff on the Civet, it was revealed that the Civet had several scars on its body โ€“ two on its head and one on its left paw. The PCSD staff presumed that it was kept as a pet because of the visible scar caused by a tight leash on its paw.

The Asian Palm Civet was brought to the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (PWRCC) on the same day for thorough check-ups and rehabilitation.
