00:00This is the Bramini Kite, they are the common species that can be seen in the forest.
00:25This is also their habitat.
00:41What is that?
00:43Sir, that is a right hornbill.
00:46A right hornbill.
00:48No, it's a mix of both.
00:56It's like an emotional rollercoaster.
01:02Whenever someone sees a bird, they run to it.
01:07They use binoculars, but so far, we don't have the Philippine Eagle.
01:11That's why we don't have the Philippine Eagle.
01:24I have a feeling that I'm going to see a right hornbill.
01:29The right hornbill is called the Philippine Eagle.
01:38It's a rare bird.
01:41It's a rare bird.
01:43It's a rare bird.
01:45It's a rare bird.
01:47It's a rare bird.
01:58Datu wants to show me something.
02:02He borrowed it from one of his acquaintances here.
02:11This is a shotgun.
02:22Do you still use this here?
02:25Yes, I still use it at home.
02:30If someone wants to abuse me, I will use it.
02:34To defend yourself?
02:36Yes, to defend myself.
02:38But I don't use it anymore.
02:41Why don't you use it anymore?
02:43I don't use it anymore.
02:45I don't use it anymore.
02:47I don't use it anymore.
02:49Can you show me how to use it?
02:56First, you have to hold it like this.
03:01After that, you open it like this.
03:07Then you have to hold it like this.
03:09After that, you have to pull it like this.
03:19No matter what happens, it's always a blessing to have a gun.
03:23Even a homemade shotgun is not used.
03:29But it's easy to imagine why it's so dangerous for Aguilas
03:35because you can't control all the places.
03:38And robbery is still very much a part of activities of other locals.
03:46If you see a person, you should not be afraid.
03:53Because they can be very dangerous.
03:57If you see a person, you should not be afraid.
04:00Because they can be very dangerous.
04:02If you see a person, you should not be afraid.
04:08You can't avoid it.
04:12Sometimes, there are people who hunt wildlife.
04:15There are people who shoot Filipino guns because they are doing it for the poor.
04:19It's also for the survival of the people.
04:22That's what needs to be changed.
04:28Whenever there are instances like that,
04:31where a bird is suspected to be dead,
04:35what do you feel?
04:37In the first few years of my work,
04:40of course, there are times when I cry.
04:43Because it's your fault that you didn't keep an eye on the Philippine Eagle.
04:47Because of the bad weather,
04:50the environment around us is no longer friendly for wildlife,
04:56like the Philippine Eagles.
05:10So, in this particular expedition or mission,
05:15unfortunately, we were not able to see the Philippine Eagle.
05:20What are your thoughts on that?
05:24In our line of work, it's normal that you can't see the Philippine Eagle.
05:30But in this particular expedition,
05:33unfortunately, we were not able to see the Philippine Eagle.
05:38At least, we have new plans.
05:41We have a plan B for the next time we go back.
05:45So, being optimistic is important in your work, right?
05:50Yes, sir.
05:52In all areas of work, you should be optimistic.
06:08Where are you going?
06:10I'm going to the river.
06:12I think the weather is getting worse.
06:15The weather is bad.
06:19I'll go ahead.
06:21I'll go ahead.
06:26I'll wait there, sir.
06:28Okay.
06:39Eagle.
06:47Eagle, eagle, eagle, eagle.
06:49It's flying away.
06:54Oh, my God. I saw the eagle.
06:58It's here.
07:03Did you see it?
07:04I saw it.
07:05I'm ready, sir.
07:07Ready, sir?
07:08Yes.
07:12It's so big.
07:13It's so big, right?
07:14It's even bigger.
07:15Oh, my God.
07:18We're going to land here because we're about to leave.
07:21As in, literally, we're about to embark.
07:24Is that okay?
07:25Yes, sir.
07:26Sir.
07:37I saw it.
07:40It's flying away.
07:56It's flying away.
08:09It's flying away.
08:22I told you we're going to see it.
08:24It's so close, sir.
08:30I haven't mentioned this to my team, but I've been dreaming of seeing a Philippine eagle in the wild for a long time.
08:35And I actually thought it wouldn't happen because it's so rare.
08:42So, I hope, finally, their objective will be fulfilled, which is to trap the eagle here,
08:49to put a tracking device so that it can be more protected.
