Crocodile Whisperer

Growing up, Lolong developed an affinity with animals, thanks to his parents, Gloria and Raul. They introduced him to a gigantic crocodile named Dakila, who eventually became his friend. Unfortunately, the town’s mayor made it his crusade to kill all crocodiles in their town. Lolong’s parents were murdered when they attempted to save Dakila from the mayor’s orders.  After his parent’s murders, Lolong is raised by loving foster parents. He keeps his friendship with Dakila secret and longs to avenge his parent’s deaths. In the meantime, Lolong notices peculiar changes happening to himself. He notices that when he gets hurt, his wounds can heal instantly. He discovers that Karina, the town’s seamstress, possesses the same ability. Karina then tells Lolong that he was a member of a tribe that possessed the power to regenerate, just like crocodiles do. With the help of Dakila, Lolong battles an evil system in order to bring justice and peace to himself and to the townspeople.

Directed by Jessica Soho, Lee Joseph Castel, Crocodile Whisperer leans on a strong ensemble — Ruru Madrid, Shaira Diaz, Arra San Agustin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
