+ March 09, 2021 FROM a year riddled with challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the aptly-named Philippine eagle Pangarap, proudly adopted by Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower), remains a symbol of hope that our country can rise again.
It is AboitizPower s goal to promote sustainability for its communities, and that includes the care and concern for the flora and fauna native to our local lands. The Philippine eagle is perhaps the biggest representation of the struggles that our wildlife continues to face, but struggles that can also be overcome with the right amount of action taken to drive meaningful change.
Another eagle rescued in Sarangani
A PHILIPPINE Eagle was rescued last week in the hinterlands of Maitum, Sarangani after a resident found it trapped in thorny rattan vines while on a hunt. It was the third eagle rescued in the area over the last four years, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Soccsksargen (DENR-12) regional office. The eagle has been turned over the Philippine Eagle Center in Davao City for documentation and rehabilitation. The bird was found near Mt. Busa, a declared key biodiversity.

THE death on January 6 of 28-year old Philippine eagle Pag-asa, the first of his kind to be bred and hatched in captivity, was a sad blow to conservation efforts, but his legacy lives on through his first and only offspring, Mabuhay. “In practical terms, there is not much impact because (Pag-asa is) retired from breeding.

A good year for the Philippine eagle in 2020, but not for its supporters
The country’s pandemic lockdown, among the longest and strictest in the world, curtailed field expeditions in the southern Mindanao region, impacting the conservation of the critically endangered Philippine eagles (Phitecopaga jefferyi).
Despite the limitations, Philippine eagle conservationists and their partner agencies rescued seven eagles and sighted two new eagle families.
Conservationists note that more eagles have been seen in the wild in Mindanao, among the last remaining bastions of the species, which means that conservation drives to educate communities are working.
While 2020 was a productive year for eagle conservation, the pandemic crippled the steady stream of revenue coming from tourists visiting the Philippine Eagle Center in Davao City.
