MANILA, Philippines - A carabao that was about to be slaughtered for meat gave birth to an offspring with two heads in a town in Iloilo in central Philippines, a radio report said Monday.
For at least a few hours, residents in Bingawan town jostled each other to see the carabao born with two heads.
But Visayas-based Bombo Radyo reported that the carabao, which was born in Guinholacan village, died a few hours after it was born.
Carabao owner Victor Castroverde said that except for the "extra head," the carabao had no abormality in its body.
Residents are now waiting for local agriculture officials to determine what caused the abnormality. - GMANews.TV
SINGAPORE: Children's singing and dancing sensation Hi-5 is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and the five-piece is commemorating the occasion with another series of their hit television show and an all-new tour.
Hi-5 series 11 will have its world premiere in Singapore on Monday, and is set to introduce four fresh faces.
Lauren Brant, Fely Irvine, Casey Burgess and Tim Maddren, who were picked after an extensive audition process across Australia, will join original member Stevie Nicholson to form the new generation of Hi-5.
Replacing four faces is a huge change but the new members are not afraid to live up to the legacy that has kept kids dancing in front of their television sets for ten years.
"I think the acceptance has already happened," Stevie said. "We just came from the Philippines and the kids loved the performance, despite never having seen four of us before.
"I feel incredibly honoured to be able to carry on the legacy of the former members,” said Lauren. "It’s a really special job – we get to sing and dance and play like kids and play with kids all day long, which is what we love to do. It's hardly a job to us!"
"I think the kids were more swept up in the singing, the dancing, the colours, the energy than anything else... and as long as they’re entertained, it doesn’t really matter who’s doing it," said Casey.
The group is currently on its Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009, which started in the Philippines on May 14, and will make its rounds to Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
"There are more songs, more dancing in the new concert (than the previous one)," said Tim.
Apart from kids, Hi-5 also said they welcome people of all ages to join in their tour. "Whether you're an adult or a child, it doesn’t really matter. Everyone loves a party, and we do mean everyone."
Hi-5 Series 11 premieres on okto on Monday, and will air weekdays at 12.30pm. Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009 will hit Singapore shores from September 8 to 13 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, tickets will go on sale at Sistic from June 22.

SINGING, dancing kiddie sensation Hi-5 is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009, which will premiere in Asia with a tour of the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore.
Performing in the show will be the new generation Hi-5: Stevie Nicholson and newcomers Lauren Brant, Casey Burgess, Fely Irvine and Tim Maddren. Organised by MediaCorp VizPro, the Hi-5 Surprise! show depicts how the team each prepares a special surprise to help get ready for their friend Chats' surprise birthday party.
What we really wanted to know, though, was: What you have to be high on to do what they do?
"Life!" the Hi-fivers chorused in unison. Said Tim: "We feed off the energy of the kids."
Added Lauren: "It's hard not to be having fun all the time when we're singing such fabulous songs and always dressed up in such crazy costumes,"
"Once, we were all dressed up as potatoes. Couch potatoes," Casey chimed in.
Guffawing, Tim added: "You go home to your family and they're like, 'What did you do?' 'I was a couch potato.' It's weird!"
That's starchy-keen, but does it feel weird, as adults — the girls are 20 and the guys are 25 — to be doing a kiddie show?
"No," they chorused again.
"Truth is, we really are still kids, all of us," said Lauren.
Added Stevie: "We're just big brothers, big sisters having fun, being silly, and inviting the kids to come and play and have fun with us. Being role models to the children is something that we're really proud of.
"Also, we spend so much time with each other. We're all buddies, we're all mates."
So, who has a crush on whom? "They all have a crush on me!" cried Tim as the group shouted with laughter.
"It'd be weird, 'cos we're like brothers and sisters!" said a smiling Lauren.
Added Fely: "Yeah, that's probably the first time we've ever had that thought!"
Well, that might be something to ponder while they prepare for Chats' party. As Stevie put it: "I think everyone loves a party, whether you're an adult or a child."
Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009 runs from Sept 8 to 13 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Tickets available from June 22 from Sistic. Hi-5 Series 11 premieres on next Monday and will air on weekdays at 12.30pm on MediaCorp TV okto.
