But the second one, is even much bigger weighing 24. 75 kilos.
According to the National Museum of the Philippines, these pearls are approximately at $100 million each and are now declared as the “important cultural property” (ICP) of the country.
The museum collects P50 entrance fee for students and P150 for adults. The local government hopes to somehow debunk the image of their province, which is known for urban legends centering on 'Aswang' mythology.
