"We have started talks with planners to design the sanctuary of Mali, taking into account her physical condition and her space requirements. We will provide her with adequate food, shelter and a vast enclosure. 30- 50 hectares will be allocated to Mali in a forfeited area which will simulate her natural habitat." According to Zoomanity Group reply to the questions I sent to Robert Yupangco.

Mayor Joseph "Erap"  Estrada of Manila granted Yupangco request to transfer Mali temporarily to his Zoobic Safari Theme Park at Zambales inside the Subic Freefort Zone. Zoobic Safari is composed of 50 hectares of land while Robert Yupangco is expert in taking care of animals.

"Im happy that there are so many people who cares about Mali."

Bert Guevarra (Earth Day Network Philippines President)

“Even people need to reconnect with nature; much more for Mali who hasn't been out of his cage for years. He needs a vacation. “

Chuckie Dreyfus (Actor)

“I don't mind as long as Mali can get better care and attention there. He needs to have ample space to roam and hopefully other elephants too.”

Ian Angelo King (Hotelier)

“Mali is old and transporting her might put her in shock. I think the people at the zoo know what they are doing and she belongs there. “

Ana Santos (Entrepreneur- Picture City)

“As long as there's a guarantee moving him won't cause Mali any distress, am fine with it.”
