'Tuko' trade a scam?
MANILA, Philippines – The burgeoning illegal trade of 'tuko' or gecko in the Philippines, which reportedly involves large sums of money, has prompted authorities to look into the matter.
Initial investigations by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) yielded no confirmed sellers or buyers of geckos, leading the bureau to suspect that the trade may be a hoax or scam.
Atty. Sixto Comia, chief of the NBI's Environment and Wildlife Protection Investigation Division, warned online buyers that transactions done over the Internet may just be a scheme of a crime syndicate.
Comia compared the modus operandi to that of the "Budol-Budol" Gang.
"'Yung subject nila bibili 'yan ng maraming tuko sa buyer. Kapag ibebenta na ng subject ang tuko sa buyer, wala na 'yung buyer. Parang 'Budol-Budol'," said Comia.
Gecko collector "Rudy" (not his real name) sells geckos at P300 each.
P500 milion for 400-gram geckos?
"Maraming gusto mag-alaga niyan dahil kapag napalaki nila, maraming presyo na," said Rudy.
There are reports that geckos that weigh 400 grams can sell to up to P500 million.
Investigations by NBI, meanwhile, showed that geckos in the Philippines can only reach up to 100 grams.
It is also impossible that a single gecko could be worth millions of pesos, said the NBI.
Collectors of geckos can face charges of violating Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.
Health issues
Speculations have been circulating that enzymes produced from thegeckos' gall bladders can cure diseases, sparking the illegal trade.
The Department of Health (DOH) earlier dismissed rumors that geckos can cure AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).
DOH spokesperson Dr. Eric Tayag has also warned the public that consuming geckos may cause food poisoning.
The health department also stressed that there is no medical or scientific basis that eating geckos can cure ailments like AIDS and asthma.
A specialist on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and ***ually-transmitted diseases (STDs) also dispelled the rumor.
"There are no scientific evidence that is published on the Internet or even in our journals or books saying that ang enzymes na galing sa tuko (gecko) ay nakakagamot nga," Dr. Jose Gerald Belimac said. -- With reports from Maan Macapagal and Sol Aragones, ABS-CBN News
RA 9147, ningas walang ipin yan. yung tuko pag hindi nabili pababayaan na lang mamatay nung humuli mga yan, kawawa naman. ang dami tuloy patay gutom na nagkukumahog magsi-paghuli ng mga tuko.

hehe
heard of house flipping? this is tuko flipping
buying high and selling higher until somebody is stuck with expensive tuko with no buyers
I better come home to our house in the province and catch me some tuko :grin:
i remember when i was young i can't afford to buy me an iguana. so i asked this neighbor of mine if he can catch me this gecko that's been up in this tree of theirs and i'll pay him 100. then he got what i wished for, it's freaking big like a giant butiki in a mayo jar. i really can't imagine what a monster it was in close view. since disgust is creeping into me and i wanna know how docile it is, again i asked my neighbor if he can take it out for me. without hesitation he sticks his hand into the jar but in an instant the beast got hold on one of his finger with it's vice grip like jaws. the more he pulls it, the more it won't let go and it's tiny serrated teeth makes it more punishing.
from that day on i learned to respect this animal. and i respect it even more for what this tiny little creature can do to our environment.
it's just sad, nobody knows that and nobody cares.
sorry double
LOL. Tuko food? :belat:Quote:

Man loses P300K in 'tuko' scam
MANILA, Philippines – A complaint has been filed at the office of the National Bureau of Investigation's Environmental and Wildlife Protection Investigation Division over a scam involving the controversial "tuko" (gecko) buy-and-sell market.
"Engineer France" (not his real name) said a group of individuals tricked him into paying a large amount of money for a gecko.
France said he was lured to participate in the illegal trade after hearing rumors that geckos sell for millions of pesos.
"Kahit saan ako magpunta, balitang-balita at talagang madaming naghahanap," said France.
His search for geckos ended when he met a contact in Bukidnon who was willing to sell him a gecko.
While the seller originally priced the gecko at P1 million, France said he was able to bring it down to P300,000.
When France met with his contact, he had no idea he was being conned.
"Iba 'yung may hawak ng tuko at iba 'yung magre-receive ng pera. Nung maiabot ko ang pera, nagtakbuhan na sila," sabi ni France.
The incident led France to seek assistance from police.
"Ibinulgar ko ito para hindi na marami ang mabiktima," he said.
Meanwhile, authorities encouraged the public to alert police when encountering con artists.
