    "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.

    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.

    I miss Pag-asa. He was the childhood Eagle of my 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT!!!? Sat down to clean my kit after a long day at the gun range and started watching a 5min clip of macaques fighting and this started playing after. Next thing I know I'm watching one of the GREATEST documentaries I've ever seen! Takes me 15min to clean my gear but today it took me 2hrs watching this amazing work of art. I'm gonna go complain to Filipino friends (and 3 ex-girlfriends) why the hell they never mentioned anything of this majestic raptor. Here they have one of the greatest animals in the world and they don't even know? I'm gonna force them to watch it. Then again half of them are disconnected from the old country. It's like when I come across Mexican Americans that don't even know what the hell is Cinco del Ocho or whatever. anywho, one of best 2 hours I've ever involuntarily lost out of nowhere ! Tacow Titi !!! I have no idea what that means but my Filipino girlfriends have told me that before πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­πŸ€˜β€
