00:00 The endemic Philippine eagles are still critically endangered in the country.
00:04 That's why experts are working hard to maintain their health and safety.
00:12 And that's the focus of the program "Born to be Wild" that you will watch this Sunday.
00:17 Let's watch it.
00:19 This is Lipadas, the male eagle rescued by the Philippine Eagle Foundation.
00:27 [Eagle screeching]
00:33 So here's the video shown to us of Lipadas in the wild.
00:39 And we see that there is already a marked injury on the right eye.
00:45 He can't see his surroundings.
00:48 That's why he keeps moving his head.
00:56 The skin around his right eye is very wet.
01:01 At the age of 10 months, Lipadas is preparing for an eye injury.
01:07 The PHE set up a trap at Lipadas' feeding site to catch and rescue him.
01:20 Until January 2, 2024, when Lipadas was rescued.
01:26 He was immediately brought to the clinic of wildlife veterinarian Dr. Bayani Vanderbroek.
01:33 Sir Bong brought us to Lipadas' quarantine area.
01:40 You will notice that he is in a secluded area.
01:46 There are traps that are blocked because Lipadas is wild.
01:52 To examine Lipadas closely, we will take him out of the quarantine facility.
02:00 Lipadas is an important patient.
02:08 That's why the PHEF of the group, with experts, formed.
02:15 We are with the team of wildlife veterinarian Dr. Bayani and a group of ophthalmologists.
02:22 It's time to examine his eyes.
02:25 First, we removed the scabs or eye discharge from Lipadas' right eye.
02:33 He is ruptured.
02:38 I think it's traumatic.
02:41 He has a history of trauma.
02:43 That's the suspect.
02:45 Lipadas is a possible target of an improvised gunshot that hit his right eye.
02:52 Endemic Philippine eagles are still critically endangered.
02:58 In the last case of PHEF, only 400 pairs of Philippine eagles are left in the wild.
03:05 Their decline in the wild is accompanied by the loss of the forest where they live.
03:12 We will see that hand.
