00:00Howie Severino and his birdwatchers went to the top of Sierra Madre in Rizal to see the Serpent Eagle.
00:07Before they could see the lion that they were chasing, they were met by different kinds of birds.
00:13Here is the story of the public affairs that Howie Severino learned in the program Eyewitness.
00:19The Philippine Eagle Center in Davao is a breeding and rescue facility for the Philippine Eagles.
00:31They aim to protect and multiply their species.
00:35In 2017, Vigo was captured by the wildlife photographer Floyd Bermejo and he became the face of the project.
00:43We do free flight outside the field.
00:45And the wildlife photographer was lucky.
00:50So it was really a great opportunity for the photographer to capture the bird up close without a screen around.
00:58That's why he got some good shots there.
01:00Vigo is now 14 years old.
01:04The Philippine Eagle is one of the endemic raptors in the Philippines.
01:08It can only be seen in our country.
01:10It is a larva of the Philippine language.
01:13It is half the size of the raptors or large birds.
01:18The raptors are carnivorous or eat other animals.
01:22The Philippine Eagles can reach up to 3 feet in height.
01:27And the wingspan is up to 7 feet.
01:32The Philippine Eagle Center reminds us that there are different kinds of raptors in the country.
01:37I am with the birder Albert Abadicio.
01:41We are going to the tip of Sierra Madre, Sarizat.
01:44Where other bird photographers went.
01:46We were just arriving at the place when someone showed up.
01:51What kind of bird is that?
01:53That is a serpent eagle.
01:58Even though we were not able to capture a serpent eagle,
02:01we were greeted by a different kind of bird.
02:06They are the Albino Philippine Cucar.
02:10But this one is still jumping on the branches.
02:16From our spot, we were shown a different kind of small and colorful bird.
02:22A Striped-headed Rhabdornis.
02:26And a Rufous-crowned Bee-eater.
02:29Both of them are endemic.
02:31We went to a high view deck in Cuenca.
02:34We saw two raptors.
02:37A Sea Eagle and a Brahminy Kite.
02:40We are going down to the bay.
02:42Then we will go around there.
02:44Maybe we will see something different.
02:49What we did not see up there,
02:53we were amazed by something.
03:01Not just one or two,
03:04but five raptors were included in a community of Brahminy Kites.
03:11This looks like their roosting site or resting place.
03:15The Brahminy Kite is also known as Red-backed Sea Eagle.
03:22We learned that the raptors are a sentinel species.
03:25A proof that there are many in the jungle.
03:29In a mountainous country,
03:31the jungle is the salvation for us and for others.
03:37Let's multiply the eagles.
03:40Until we do not go away to watch them.
03:44Their home is the home of many others.
