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.
