THE Philippine Eagle is a powerful symbol of our national identity and natural heritage.
There are fewer than 400 breeding pairs left in the wild. These majestic birds need forests to survive and take up to seven years to mature.
Even then, they only lay one egg every two years.
Their survival is our responsibility.
This Philippine Eagle Week, I call on every Filipino to become guardians of these magnificent birds by protecting our forests, planting native trees, and speaking out against habitat destruction.
The Office of the Vice President’s Pagbabago: A Million Trees campaign works to regenerate forests across our islands, creating safe havens for wildlife that depend on these ecosystems.
What we save today flies free tomorrow. Our children deserve to witness Philippine Eagles soaring in our skies.
Let us plant trees and work together to ensure this critically endangered species thrives for generations to come.
Sa bawat puno na ating itatanim, sa bawat kagubatan na ating pangangalagaan, nariyan ang pangako ng isang magandang kinabukasan para sa agila at sa susunod na henerasyon ng mga Pilipino.
Ang lahat ng ginagawa natin ay para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at sa bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.
