On October 20, 2026, the Daily Tribune reported that six rehabilitated animals were released into Aurora Memorial National Park. They had been in care in Nueva Ecija: three Philippine cobras, two reticulated pythons, and one Philippine scops owl. Provincial environment office chief Artemio Almazan Jr. said the animals were checked before the release. DENR regional executive director Ralph Pablo described the return as part of putting rescued wildlife back into forest the office judged suitable.
The cobras are the Philippine species Naja philippinensis, and the owl is Otus megalotis. This account is that group of six. It does not include a separate release of other animals reported earlier in the month. The news is that these six left care for habitat chosen for them, not a census of the park.
