"The Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) is a giant forest raptor endemic to the Philippines. It is considered one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the world's rarest and certainly among its most critical endangered vertebrate species. The eagle is known to be geographically restricted to the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao."

Philippine eagles are very great representation of the Philippines. It is a beautiful bird that is endangered. The Philippine government is in trying to preserve the lineage of this eagle and of course supports the Philippine Eagle Foundation.
I believe one should see the Philippine eagle in the course of staying in the Philippines. It is a very beautiful animal and seeing it soar up the sky is worth the trip. :)
