Malabon Zoo, Aquarium and Botanical Garden founder Manny Tangco said the public sent various suggestions for the name of the the cub, &quot;from Whitey to Cutie to Simba.&quot; &quot;After two months of search po, nakahanap na kami ng pangalan para kay ating white miracle lion cub po... Ang pangalan po ng ating white lion cub after two months&#x27; search po is &#x27;Sir George&#x27;,&quot; Tangco told TeleRadyo Serbisyo. (We have found a name for our white miracle lion cub. The name of our white lion cub is Sir George.)&quot;Thirty-one years ago po, when the Malabon Zoo was three years old po, mayroon pong isang young man, nagpunta po dito. Ang pangalan niya po ay Sir George. Siya po ay isang philanthropist, isa rin po siyang singer, isa po siyang nature lover... He&#x27;s very kind po. Siya po ang nag-jumpstart ng Malabon Zoo. Tinulungan nya po ang Malabon Zoo,&quot; he added. (Thirty-one years ago, when the Malabon Zoo was three years old po, a young man named Sir George went here.
