Кіріспе
Филиппиндік су бұқалары – Филиппиннің батпақ типті су бұқаларының (Bubalus bubalis kerebau) генетикалық жағынан ерекшеленетін популяциясы. Олар Тайваньнан әкелінген үйретілген батпақ бұқаларының ұрпақтары, олар неолит дәуірінде австронезиялықтардың таралуы арқылы Филиппинге енгізілген. Бұлар сондай-ақ Индонезия мен Малайзияның шығысындағы Сулавеси және Борнео аралдарына да әкелінген. 17 ғасырда Гуамға филиппиндіктерден қарабаулар әкелінді. Олар чаморро халқы үшін зор мәдени маңызға ие және Гуамның ресми емес ұлттық жануары саналады. "Карабао" термині кейде Малайзиядағы Негери Сембилан штатының ресми жануары болып табылатын кербауды да білдіреді. Дегенмен, Малайзия түбегіндегі және Индонезияның батысындағы (Ява мен Суматра) су бұқалары қарабаулар емес, олар Тайвань арқылы емес, Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азиядан кейінірек, бөлек жолмен әкелінген басқа популяциялардан тараған.
Philippine water buffalo
Carabaos are a genetically distinct population of swamp type water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis kerebau) from the Philippines. They descended from domesticated swamp buffalo populations from Taiwan that were introduced to the Philippines in the Neolithic via the Austronesian expansion. They were also further introduced to Sulawesi and Borneo of eastern Indonesia and Malaysia. Carabaos were introduced to Guam from the Philippines in the 17th century. They have also acquired great cultural significance to the Chamorro people and are considered the unofficial national animal of Guam. The term "carabao" is also sometimes used for the kerbau in Malaysia, which is the official animal of the state of Negeri Sembilan. However, water buffaloes from Peninsular Malaysia and western Indonesia (Java and Sumatra) are not carabaos and descend from different populations that were introduced through a later separate route from Mainland Southeast Asia rather than through Taiwan.

Атаулары мен этимологиясы
Ағылшын тіліндегі "carabao" термині испан тілінен алынған carabao сөзінен тараған, ол Шығыс Висай (вероятно, Уарай) karabàw сөзінен шыққан. Анасын (испан тілінде) карабалла деп атайды. Туыс сөздерге Себуано kábaw, Тагалог kalabáw, Кавалан qabaw, Минангкабау kabau, Малай/Индонезия kerbau, Яван kebo және Индонезия-Голланд karbouw жатады. Бұл австронезиялық терминдер австроазиялық тілдерден алынған қарыздар болып көрінеді және батыс Индонезия арқылы Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азия аралдарына су бұқаларының колониалдық ерадан бұрынғы екінші рет енгізілуінен туындаған болуы мүмкін. Дегенмен, австронезиялықтардың қарабао үшін ежелгі атаулары болғаны белгілі, ол протоавстронезиялық *qaNuaŋ ретінде қалпына келтірілген. Туыс сөздерге Папора сөйлемдері, Тао qnuwan, Сирая luang, Рукай nwange, Илокано nuang, Тагалог anwang немесе anowang, Канканаей nuang, Isneg nuang, Itawis nwang, Bontoc nuwang, Ifugao nuwang және Aklanon anwang жатады. Туыс сөздер Сулавесиде сақталған, бірақ ондағы атаулар туысқан аноаға қатысты. Сол сияқты, Hanunó'o anwang да қарабао емес, Миндороның тамарауына сілтеме жасайды. Бұл атаулар Тайваньнан оңтүстікке қарай тарады, бұл отандық қарабаолар австронезиялық кеңею кезінде Филиппинге ішінара әкелінгенін, бірақ материктік Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азиядан екінші рет енгізілгенге дейін Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азияның қалған бөлігіне оңтүстікке қарай жылжуы тоқтағанын көрсетеді. Мұның себебі белгісіз. Қарабао үшін басқа жергілікті атаулар: тагалог, бикол және капампанган тілдерінде damulag, пангасинан тілінде dueg және иватан тілінде pagad. "Carabao" сөзінің карибуға ұқсастығы кездейсоқ, олардың этимологиясы ортақ емес – жалған туыс сөздердің мысалы.
The English term "carabao" is borrowed from the Spanish word carabao, which is derived from Eastern Visayan (likely Waray) karabàw. The female is called (in Spanish) a caraballa. Cognates include Cebuano kábaw, Tagalog kalabáw, Kavalan qabaw, Minangkabau kabau, Malay/Indonesian kerbau, Javanese kebo, and Indonesian Dutch karbouw. These Austronesian terms appear to be loanwords from the Austroasiatic languages and likely derives from a secondary pre colonial introduction of water buffaloes into Island Southeast Asia via western Indonesia. However, it is also clear that Austronesians already had ancient terms for the carabao, reconstructed as Proto Austronesian *qaNuaŋ. Cognates include Papora loan, Thao qnuwan, Siraya luang, Rukai nwange, Ilocano nuang, Tagalog anwang or anowang, Kankanaey nuang, Isneg nuang, Itawis nwang, Bontoc nuwang, Ifugao nuwang, and Aklanon anwang. Cognates survive into Sulawesi, but the terms there apply to the related anoa. Similarly, Hanunó'o anwang also refers to the tamaraw of Mindoro, rather than the carabao. These terms spread southwards from Taiwan, indicating that domesticated carabaos were carried partially into the Philippines during the Austronesian expansion, but didn't move further south into the rest of Island Southeast Asia until the second introduction from Mainland Southeast Asia. The reason for this is unknown. Other native names for carabaos include [[wikt:damulag in Tagalog, Bikol, and Kapampangan; dueg in Pangasinan; and pagad in Ivatan. The resemblance of the word "carabao" to caribou is coincidental, and they do not share a common etymology — an example of a false cognate.
Тарих
Филиппинде табылған су бұқасының ең көне дәлелі – неолиттік Нагсабаран ескерткішінің жоғарғы қабаттарынан табылған көптеген бөлшекті скелет қалдықтары, сол сияқты Лалло мен Гаттаран қабықша үйінділерінің (шамамен б.з.б. 2200 – 400 жылдары) бір бөлігі, Солтүстік Лусон аймағында орналасқан. Қалдықтардың көпшілігі бас сүйегінің сынықтарынан тұрады, олардың көбі кесу іздеріне ие, бұл олардың сойылып алынғанын көрсетеді. Қалдықтар қызыл сырланған керамика, ораулы тісті дөңгелектер, тас балталар және нефрит білезіктермен байланысты; олар Тайваньдағы неолиттік австронезиялық археологиялық орындарынан табылған ұқсас заттармен тығыз байланысты. Ең көне фрагменттер табылған қабаттың радиокөміртектік жасы бойынша, су бұқалары Филиппинде кем дегенде б.з.б. 500 жылға дейін болған. Генетикалық зерттеулер көрсеткендей, карабаоға ең жақын туысқан популяциялар Тайваньдағы батпақты бизон популяциялары болып табылады, олар өз кезегінде Янцзы дельтасының неолиттік күріш шаруашылығы мәдениеттерінің батпақты бизондарынан тараған. Бұл карабоның австронезиялық көші-қон кезеңінде Тайваньдан Филиппинге, содан кейін Борнео мен Сулавесиге әкелінгенін көрсетеді. Карабаолар генетикалық тұрғыдан Малайзия түбегіндегі және Индонезияның батысындағы (Ява және Суматра) батпақты бизоннан ерекшеленеді, олар құрлықтағы Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азиядағы батпақты бизонға жақын туыстық байланысқа ие, бұл олардың басқа жолмен келгенін көрсетеді.
The oldest evidence of water buffalo discovered in the Philippines is multiple fragmentary skeletal remains recovered from the upper layers of the Neolithic Nagsabaran site, part of the Lal lo and Gattaran Shell Middens (~2200 BCE to 400 CE) of northern Luzon. Most of the remains consisted of skull fragments, almost all of which have cut marks indicating they were butchered. The remains are associated with red slipped pottery, spindle whorls, stone adzes, and jade bracelets; which have strong affinities to similar artifacts from Neolithic Austronesian archeological sites in Taiwan. Based on the radiocarbon date of the layer in which the oldest fragments were found, water buffalo were already present in the Philippines by at least 500 BCE. Genetic studies have shown that the closest related populations to carabaos are the swamp buffalo populations of Taiwan, which in turn descended from swamp buffaloes from the Neolithic rice farming cultures of the Yangtze Delta. This indicates that carabaos were carried along by the Austronesian migrations into the Philippines from Taiwan, and then further onward to Borneo and Sulawesi. Carabaos are genetically distinct from the swamp buffaloes of Peninsular Malaysia and western Indonesia (Java and Sumatra), which show closer affinities to swamp buffaloes from Mainland Southeast Asia, indicating that they originated from a different introduction pathway.

Жүгірткі жануарлары
Қарабаулар негізінен күріш егісінде жұмыс істейтін мал ретінде қолданылады. 2023 жылы филиппин қарабауының басым көпшілігі (99,3%) осы мақсатта шағын шаруалармен өсіріледі. Трактор сияқты заманауи техниканың пайда болуы қарабауларды жұмыс малдары ретінде бірте-бірте ығыстыруда. Қарабауды қолданып егістік дайындаудың тағы бір көне әдісі – паятак, ол Солтүстік Самардағы кейбір шаруалармен бүгінге дейін қолданылады. Паятакта күріш егісінің топырағы алдымен жаңбыр суымен немесе суарна арқылы жұмсатылады, содан кейін шаруа қарабаулардың тобын күріш көшеттерін қабылдауға жеткілікті ылғалға дейін отырғызу аймағын таптап жүруге бағыттайды. Бұл уақытты көп алатын жұмыс суармалы егістіктердегі жетістіктермен салыстырғанда төмен өнімділікке және кіріске әкеледі. Заманауи техника пайда болғанға дейін қарабаулар күрішті бағананың айналасынан айналып өтіп, таптап, дәнді сабақтан бөліп соғып тастау үшін де қолданылды. Олар сондай-ақ, қазіргі заманға дейінгі қант өндірісінде қант қамысын ұсақтауға арналған тас диірмендерді қуаттандыру үшін пайдаланылды. Жапонияның 1941-1945 жылдардағы Филиппинге бейбітшілік орнату әрекетінің сәтсіздікке ұшырауының себептерінің бірі – олардың филиппин экономикасының негіздеріне немқұрайлы қарауы болды. Қарабаулар филиппин шаруаларына күріш және басқа да негізгі азық-түлік өсіруге мүмкіндік берді. Жапон әскерінің патрульдік тобы күрішті тартып қана қоймай, қарабауларды ет үшін сойып, шаруалардың үлкен халықты азықтандыру үшін жеткілікті күріш өсіруіне кедергі келтірді. Екінші дүниежүзілік соғысқа дейін Филиппинде шамамен үш миллион қарабау болған. Соғыс аяқталған кезде олардың шамамен 70% жоғалған.
Carabaos are mainly used as draft animals for paddy field rice cultivation. In 2023, the vast majority of Philippine carabaos (99.3%) are raised for this purpose by smallholder farmers. The advent of modern machinery like tractors are slowly displacing carabaos in their role as draft animals. Another older method of preparing fields with the carabao is known as payatak, which is still practiced by some farmers in Northern Samar. In payatak, the soil of the rice paddy is first softened with rainwater or diverted watershed, then the farmer guides a group of carabaos in trampling the planting area until it is soggy enough to receive the rice seedlings. This time consuming task produces lower yields and lower income when compared with the advancement in irrigated fields. Before modern equipment, carabaos were also formerly used to thresh rice by trampling them while going around a post, separating the grains from the stalks. They were also used to power stone mills used for crushing sugarcane in pre modern sugar production. One of the many reasons for the failure of the attempted Japanese pacification of the Philippines during their 1941–1945 occupation was their indifference to the basics of the Philippine economy. The carabaos provided the necessary labor that allowed Philippine farmers to grow rice and other staples. Japanese army patrols would not only confiscate the rice, but would also slaughter the carabaos for meat, thereby preventing the farmers from growing enough rice to feed the large population. Before World War II, an estimated three million carabaos inhabited the Philippines. By the end of the war, an estimated nearly 70% of them had been lost.
Сүт өнімдері
Қарабао сүті сиыр немесе ешкі сүтіне қарағанда майлылығы мен ақуыздық құрамы жоғары болғандықтан, құрлымды және қаймақты текстураға ие. Оның минералды құрамы сиыр сүтіне ұқсас, бірақ фосфор мөлшері екі есе көп. Оның түсі ерекше көкшіл ақ болып келеді. Қарабао сүті көбінесе үйде, су ваннасы арқылы пастеризацияланады. Қарабао сүтінің ең көп қолданылатын түрі – кесонг пути, дәстүрлі жұмсақ ірімшік. Одан сондай-ақ, pastillas de leche, tibok tibok, leche flan және helado de mantecado деп аталатын сорбеттерге арналған дәстүрлі балмұздақ сияқты тәттілер дайындалады. Қарабао сүтін таңғы асқа немесе мериендаға, түрлі қосымшалармен бірге күрішпен де жеуге болады. Филиппин заңнамасы бойынша қарабаоларды сою қатаң реттеледі, осылайша олардың популяциясын сақтауға тырысады. Қажетті рұқсаттар мен келісімдер алынғаннан кейін, жеті жастан асқан (еркек болса) немесе он бір жастан асқан (ұрғашы болса) қарабаоларды ғана союға рұқсат етіледі. Басқа жағдайларда қарабаоларды өлтіру заңсыз. Дегенмен, заңның тиімді орындалмауына байланысты бұл заң көбінесе бұзылады. Қарабақа еті кейбір аймақтарда танымал және оны сиыр етінің орнына, мысалы, тапа сияқты тағамдарда, сондай-ақ жүгері еті мен лонгганиса сияқты коммерциялық өңделген ет өнімдерінде қолдануға болады. Қарабао терісінен де чихарон дайындауға болады. Қарабао терісі былғары өндірісі үшін қолданыла береді, және 2002 жылғы мәліметтер бойынша оның жалпы нарықтық құны 10 миллион долларды құрады.
Carabao milk is richer and creamier in texture than cow or goat milk, due to its much higher fat and protein content. It has similar mineral content as cow milk, except it has twice as much phosphorus. It is characteristically bluish white in color. Carabao milk is typically home pasteurized via a double boiler. The most common use of carabao milk is for the production of kesong puti, a traditional soft cheese. It is also used for sweets including pastillas de leche, tibok tibok, leche flan, and a traditional ice cream flavor for sorbetes known as helado de mantecado. Carabao milk can also eaten for breakfast or merienda poured over rice with various other ingredients. The butchering of carabaos is strictly regulated under Philippine law in an effort to conserve the population. Only carabaos that are seven years or older (if male) or eleven years or older (if female) can be slaughtered after the acquisition of necessary permits and clearances. In all other instances, the killing of carabaos is illegal. However, this law is often violated due to poor enforcement. Carabeef is popular in some regions and can be used in dishes in place of beef, like in tapa, as well as in commercial processed meat like corned beef and longganisa. Carabao skin can also be cooked as chicharon. Carabao hide is still used for leather production with an estimated total market value of $10 million, as of 2002.
Қорғау
2023 жылға қарай Филиппинде 2,74 миллион қарабао бар деп есептелді. Олардың 99,3% шағын шаруашылықтарда, ал қалған 0,5% және 0,2% тиісінше жартылай коммерциялық және коммерциялық шаруашылықтарда өсіріледі. Карабаолардың ең көп саны Бикол аймағында – 324 220 бас, одан кейін Батыс Висая (251 570), Орталық Лусон (250 640), Орталық Висая (218 290) және Кагаян аңғары (208 710) орналасқан. Қарабаолардың орнына заманауи техникалар енгізілуіне байланысты, олардың еті үшін сойылуы көбейіп келеді, себебі олардың шаруашылықтағы маңызы төмендеп барады. Бұрын аурулар мен екінші дүниежүзілік соғыстағы қарабао қырғынынан олардың саны азайып, популяциясы құлдыраған. Филиппиннің Карабао орталығы су бұқаларын шетелден әкеліп, сүт өндіру үшін жаңа, өнімді тұқымдар шығару мақсатында карабаолармен будандастырып жатыр. 2015 жылы Филиппиндегі коммерциялық мал өсіру шаруашылықтарындағы су бұқаларының шамамен 10 000 басы импортталған өзендік тұқымдардан, ең бастысы Мурра бұқасы (Бразилия, Болгария және Италиядан әкелінген) болды. Тағы 29 700 басы – карабао мен импортталған өзен бұқаларының аралас тұқымы.
As of 2023, there are an estimated 2.74 million heads of carabaos in the Philippines. 99.3% are from smallhold farms, while the remaining 0.5% and 0.2% are from semi commercial and commercial farms, respectively. The highest population of carabaos is from the Bicol Region, with an estimated 324,220 heads, followed by the Western Visayas (251,570), Central Luzon (250,640), Central Visayas (218,290), and the Cagayan Valley (208,710). Carabaos are increasingly being replaced by modern machinery, leading to more and more carabaos being slaughtered for meat as they lose their agricultural importance. They've also gone through population decimations in the past from diseases as well as carabao massacres in World War II. Water buffalos have also been imported from abroad by the Philippine Carabao Center and crossbred with the carabao in an effort to develop a more productive breed for milk production. In 2015, an estimated 10,000 heads of the commercial herds of water buffalo in the Philippines are imported riverine type breeds, most notably the Murrah buffalo (sourced from Brazil, Bulgaria, and Italy). Another 29,700 heads are crossbreeds of the carabao and imported river buffaloes. Pasungay Festival (San Joaquin, Iloilo) A religious festival honoring Sto. Niño held every 3rd Saturday of January.

Сан Исидро Лабрадор фестивалі (Ангоно, Ризал) – 15 мамырда қаланың қамқоршысы, еңбекші Исидордің құрметіне өткізілетін діни фестиваль. Фестивальдің басты оқиғасы – ауыл шаруашылығы өнімдерімен толтырылған, сәнді арбаларды көтеріп жүретін қарабаолардың шеруі.
As of 2023, there are an estimated 2.74 million heads of carabaos in the Philippines. 99.3% are from smallhold farms, while the remaining 0.5% and 0.2% are from semi commercial and commercial farms, respectively. The highest population of carabaos is from the Bicol Region, with an estimated 324,220 heads, followed by the Western Visayas (251,570), Central Luzon (250,640), Central Visayas (218,290), and the Cagayan Valley (208,710). Carabaos are increasingly being replaced by modern machinery, leading to more and more carabaos being slaughtered for meat as they lose their agricultural importance. They've also gone through population decimations in the past from diseases as well as carabao massacres in World War II. Water buffalos have also been imported from abroad by the Philippine Carabao Center and crossbred with the carabao in an effort to develop a more productive breed for milk production. In 2015, an estimated 10,000 heads of the commercial herds of water buffalo in the Philippines are imported riverine type breeds, most notably the Murrah buffalo (sourced from Brazil, Bulgaria, and Italy).

Символизм
Карабао Филиппиннің ұлттық жануары деп кеңінен есептелгенімен, Филиппиннің Ұлттық мәдениет және өнер комиссиясы бұл әлі күнге дейін заңмен ресми түрде мойындалмағанын мәлімдеді. 2014 жылғы Филиппин ұлттық рәміздері туралы 3926 заң жобасы, Филиппин Конгресінде карабаоны елдің ұлттық жануары ретінде ресми түрде жариялау мақсатымен ұсынылды. Қазіргі таңда оның қаралуы тоқтап тұр. 1980-жылдардың соңында карабао қуыршақ кейіпкері Кардонг Калабау филиппин халқының қажырлы еңбегі мен еңбекқорлығының символы ретінде танымал болды. 1900 жылы Филиппин-Америка соғысында күрескен американдық сарбаздар құрған "Карабао әскери ордені" қоғамдық клубы, су бұқасының "үйден алыс, ұзақ әскери қызметтегі қауіп-қатерге бетке басқан қарулы күштер мүшелері арасындағы әріптестікті" бейнелейтініне сенеді.
Despite the carabao being widely regarded as the national animal of the Philippines, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippines has stated that this still has not been officially recognized by law. House Bill 3926, Philippine National Symbols Act of 2014, was proposed in Philippine Congress with the aim of officially declaring the country's national symbols, including the carabao as the national animal. It is currently still pending. In the late 1980s, the carabao puppet character Kardong Kalabaw became popular as a symbol of the Philippine people's hard work and sense of industry. The Military Order of the Carabao, a social club started in 1900 by American enlisted men fighting in the Philippine American War, believes that the water buffalo symbolizes the "camaraderie that grows among members of the armed forces who face the dangers and privations of extensive military service far from home."
Қарабао жарысы
Карабао жарысы – Филиппиндегі шаруалар мен қарабао әуесқойлары арасында кең таралған спорт түрі. Орталық, Оңтүстік Лусон және Оңтүстік Котабато аймандарындағы кейбір мерекелер қарабаолардың финиш сызығына қарай шапқан жарыстарымен аталады. Жарысқа қатысатын қарабаоларды толыққанды дайындау және жаттықтыру – маңызды жұмыс. Шаруалар мен олардың сенімді қарабаолары топырақты жолда жарысу үшін жиналады. Көрермендер бұл ерекше көрініске толы, кейбіреулері ең жақсы қарабаоларына тікелей тіке бастаса, ал енді біреулері қызығу үшін келеді. Арбаларын арқаларына мінгізіп, шаруаларымен бірге жүлде үшін жарысады. Жарыс екі санатқа бөлінеді: бірі – жаңадан бастаған немесе әуесқой қарабаошылар үшін, екіншісі – тәжірибелі қарабаошылар үшін. Жарысқа қатысатын қарабао 35 000 – 60 000 песоға сатып алынуы мүмкін, ал оның бағасы жеңген жарыстардың санына байланысты артады. Көп жеңіс одіс қондырған қарабаолардың бағасы 200 000 песоға дейін жетеді.
Carabao racing is a widely popular sport among farmers and carabao enthusiasts in the Philippines. In central, southern Luzon and South Cotabato some fiestas are highlighted with carabaos racing up towards the finish line. Training and conditioning of the race carabao to its full extent is a serious job. Farmers and their trustworthy carabaos gather together to race in a dirt road. Spectators fill up this unique spectacle, some betting on their best carabaos, others watch for the thrill. The carabaos, geared with their carts on their back, race together with their farmer to win prizes. The race is divided into two classes, one for amateur or first time carabao racers and the other is for the veteran carabao racers. A race carabao can be bought for ₱35,000 to ₱60,000, with the price increasing with the number of races that it wins. Proven race winners can command a price as high as ₱200,000.
Гуамда
Гуамға испан миссионерлері 17 ғасырда Филиппиндегі үй жануарларынан қарабауларды жүк таситын мал ретінде әкелді. АҚШ Әскери-теңіз базасындағы жабайы қарабаулар тобы қорғалатын жануарлар ретінде тіркелді, бірақ 1982 жылдан бері олардың саны азайып келеді, бұл, әдетте, заңсыз аң аулаудың салдарынан болды. Қарабаулар шаруашылық жұмыстарына және арбаларды тартуға пайдаланылды. 20 ғасырдан бұрын Гуамда олар өте көп кездесіп, саны мыңдағанға жететін. Бүгінде аралдың көп бөлігінде олар сирек кездеседі, тек Санта-Рита ауылының жанындағы, барлық жағынан қоршалған АҚШ Әскери-теңіз базасында ғана кездеседі. Әскери-теңіз базасындағы қарабаулардың саны бірнеше жүзге жетті, олар зиянды жануарларға айналып, қоршаған ортаға зиян келтіріп, Фена су қоймасындағы суды ластады. 2003 жылы Әскери-теңіз күштері қарабаулардың санын бақылау үшін оларды жою бағдарламасын бастады, бұл шараға көптеген чаморро халқы қарсылық білдірді. Қарабау Гуамның символы саналады. 1960 жылдардың басында аралда, әсіресе фиеста кезінде қарабау жарыстары танымал спорт түрі болды. Бүгінде қарабаулар халық мәдениетінің бір бөлігіне айналды. Оларды жиі карнавалдарға немесе басқа да мерекелерге алып келеді және балалардың сүйікті ойыншығы ретінде пайдаланады. Кейде қарабау еті деликатес ретінде дайындалады.
Carabaos were introduced to Guam by Spanish missionaries in the 17th century from domestic stock in the Philippines to be used as beasts of burden. A feral herd on the US Naval Magazine in central Guam was classified as protected game, but the population has been declining since 1982, most likely due to illegal hunting. Carabaos were used for farming and for pulling carts. They were fairly common on Guam before the 20th century, with a population numbering in the thousands. Today, they are rare in most parts of the island except in the US Naval Magazine near the village of Santa Rita, which is fenced on all sides. The carabao population of Naval Magazine has grown to several hundred, to the point that they have become a pest and caused environmental damage, and polluted the water supply in the Fena Reservoir. In 2003, the Navy began a program of extermination to control the carabao population of Naval Magazine, a move that was protested by many Chamorro people. The carabao is considered a symbol of Guam. In the early 1960s, carabao races were a popular sport in the island, especially during fiestas. Today, carabaos are a part of the popular culture. They are often brought to carnivals or other festivities, and are used as a popular ride for children. Carabao meat is sometimes eaten as a delicacy.
