    The Philippine Eagle doesn't just symbolize power and strength, but the health and status of our environment as well. Being the apex predator in its habitat, it plays a very vital role in balancing the ecosystem. Protecting this magnificent bird of prey is more than just wildlife conservation.

    "If we lose the Philippine Eagle, the world loses..." I will never forget this line. Thank you for uploading this.
  • @algrand52
    Just an update for the team that created this video: from the 50 pairs that was known to have existed when you made this film, it's now grown to 400 documented pairs. Much work still needs to be done to conserve the habitat and to further propagate this magnificent creature. Thank you for spearheading the effort.

    I miss Pag-asa. He was the childhood Eagle of my generation.
  • @leitaoruimfp
    What a magnificent bird. It's expression is different from any other species of eagles or birds of prey. These are the Apex guys in the skies and it would really be a shame if we'd loose them, like so many species we've already lost. Congrats to all involved in this project and others with the same purpose.
  • @vjsaradhib
    Kudos to the entire team! The best line I ever heard " even though they live here, they are the property of the world". Means alot with very few words. By the way iam from India but iam a part of this world!
  • @MayingRaymundo
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK. I am from Davao City, in Mindanao the land of the Philippine Eagles. This will be a great documentary to show students of this new generation.
  • Lost my job and have very few money left. But I am donating to the Philippine Eagle Foundation. I will also do it regularly once I get a job again. This is a tremendous Christmas gift for me. Thanks to the people behind this project.
  • The filming alone, just wow! The dedication, hardwork, passion, the love for the prey, its something of everything. Hope this one feeds awareness to every one of us to protect our wildlife/environment.

    47:19 The first documentary I've seen that filmed the Philippine Eagle flying closest to the ground. What a nice thing to see.
  • @tamiacena
    Beautiful story, beautiful film, beautiful people, honoring the most beautiful bird. Forever changed by this. Thank you!
  • @zatoichiable
    I always have teary eyes whenever i watch documentaries about the philippine eagle... so precious to us...
  • My first itinerary when I visited Davao a few years ago was to see the Phil Eagle. I just feel so sad how a few people would be so selfish to even hurt our precious animals. They are majestic creatures, truly impressive when you see them up close. A little bit of donation to help save them plus spreading awareness to the young so that they can continue wildlife protection would really go a long way.
  • One of the best documentary that I’ve ever seen. Thank you everyone who made this happen
  • I had been so blessed to see this Majestic Philippine Eagle in the wild through the kindness of a dear friend in Cagayan De Oro. Knowing that he was taking us there, it was a thrill to remember and a dream come true. Pamarayeg was the name given by the famous conservationist and Doctor to that fledging eagle. As an art teacher and painter when I was living in Davao, we made several field trips to the Philippine Eagle Foundation to make my students sketch the birds, animals that they have there and then the Philippine Eagle, teaching children the value of the eagle and the rest of the wildlife of the Philippines. Meeting Dominic handling Imbulog last 2018, it was a such a great experience again for me together with a friend. Thank you for this film, really amazing to have watched this. Long Live the Philippine Eagle!

    I never thought I would be this hurt after watching this masterpiece; the reason for this, is REALITY. Every tree that I saw fell in this film is a dagger to my heart. "They don't know yet the dangers of humans"---one of the most heartbreaking lines in this film. The passion of the people in this film is truly remarkable! I just hope that as the population in the Philippines (and in the world) grows, the percentage of people who care about nature, with all her glory, as well as about the wildlife, would also increase. This is a wonderful reminder/eye-opener/trigger; I will remember the line, " It takes more than believing, it takes doing. This is the time for doing." THANK YOU FOR THIS!! 💖
  • @carlcajepe9014

  • Thank you for featuring our masterpiece, world's masterpiece. Few Filipinos have gotten used to amaze with the lions, tigers, and other animals that are not endemic in our soil, not knowing that we have a unique bird that something to be proud of, the one that catches my heart and that is our eagle that represents our nationality and the emblem of our pride, the Philippine Eagle.
