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.

[@prototropo]

I am profoundly grateful to the makers of this documentary. Now at the age of 71, I had opportunities in my childhood, teens and 20s to have seen things that may not be possible again to behold; or then again, maybe they will--but only with our determination. To round the side of a sandstone rise in the Great Basin and come eye to eye--no farther than 15 feet--with a lithe, muscular mountain lion; to sleep under the milky glow of our own galaxy, a spinning slice of heaven now invisible to kids living near the all-night streetlights of suburbs and mini-malls--those moments should not be relegated to a memory of the innocent 1950s. We all deserve to see the Milky Way, without the glare of artificial lights; hikers who are informed of wildlife safety deserve to glimpse a live mountain lion, safely but surely, with their own eyes, and not in the last moment that the last mountain lion was filmed, sometime later in this century. Isn't that an awful sentence to read!? YES--yes, of course; it should be terrible even to consider. Will 2054 be the year we bid goodbye to the Sumatran rhinoceros? Will 2044 be the last year on Earth for the Black-Footed ferret of the High Plains of Wyoming? The last year for the majesty we all love and now know as the Philippine Eagle? Early in this film the researcher Neil notes the power of images to change hearts and minds. I totally agree--change is not only possible but we know how and why human beings change, why they take note, listen, and act from intentions that nurture our world, not only our own selfish needs, or the convenience of the moment. When we are motivated by lofty ideas with deep meanings, obstacles wither and hopes become necessities. The best lesson we learned in the 1980s was that authoritarian governments do not care about eagles, trees or the workers who work the land. Marcos, Pinochet, Somoza, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Reagan and Thatcher cared only for wealthy friends and their corporations. We are still repairing the damage left by monumentally selfish leaders like those, and we are still at risk from the threats of nationalists like Trump and Bolsinaro, Orban and Putin, Erdogan and Duterte, Lukashenko and Assad. Only democratic leaders will respect the earth beneath our feet. Thank you to the researchers, teachers and environmental advocates who worked on this project. Thank you especially to the Pilipino people, for sharing your country and for conserving for the whole world these incredible creatures! I'm sharing this inspiring documentary with everyone I know.

[@algrand52]

So well-written and wisely conveyed.

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.

Can’t believe I’ve never seen this video. Birds of prey have been my obsession since I was young. I became an amateur wildlife photographer after being an avid weekend birdwatcher and after moving to Southern California in 1991. The first time I saw Red-Tailed Hawks in the sky, and saw my first Osprey dive into a bay to pull out a fish nearly its same size, I could never see them enough. Ive always wanted to see a Philippine Eagle and a Harpy Eagle but probably never will. Thank goodness for KZbin for allowing me to see videos like this! I was fortunate enough to be waiting under a tree after an Osprey went fishing and he brought it directly above me to eat so I got to be up close and personal for an experience of a lifetime.

Inemg, theres also phil eagle in the mountains of sierra madre in isabela, cagayan as well as in leyte. Maybe perhaps due to rampant felling of these creatures habitat.

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 was so happy watching the fledgling grow and knowing that there is a new addition to the Philippine eagle population but then felt so sad not knowing where it can go to live and begin a new family of it's own knowing the forest is not as vast as it used to be for it to have it's own 7000 acre territory. Now he has to search for that forest and that invites more danger to it's survival. This documentary is such an eye opener.

[@MaluManiquis]

Thank you for doing this project! The film really made me cry. Made me recall my own encounter with the Philippine Eagle. By chance, I was able to film a juvenile eagle; and 2 others playing (just like in the film) in Bukidnon, Mindanao at the ancestral domain of the Higaonon tribe. I was there in 2008 to document the tribe's forest conservation practices and that includes protecting the eagle. The tribe, lost much of their land to logging concessions during MArcos regime. But there are still attempts to try to bend their will to allow logging and mining. In fact, a very outspoken anti-mining datu of one of the clans was gunned down by unknown assailants. So our trip had to be reset. Land size is crucial. The Higaonons explained to me once the eagles leave Higaonon ancestral domain area, they cannot protect them. So if the eagle dives and catches a chicken, the Higaonons are okay with it. Better these eagles eat what they want there than fly away outside the domain. In fact, they think that's what the juvenile was doing when we saw it at the start of our trek up the mountains. It's very near the village. Definitely, no one will shoot this juvenile for eating their chicken.

I've been following this for years now. I was first introduced to the Philippine eagle in the early 2000s. Im happy to know that at most recent estimation there is 400 breeding pairs in the wild or 800 individuals. The number has been slowly increasing which is to be expected given their breeding schedules. It is still critically endangered and we should not get complacent. May they multiply and live for thousands of more years. 🙏

Excellent documentary. When l was a small boy growing up in the early 70s, this eagle was always called as the monkey eating eagle. Now lam an adult, lam glad its name has been changed to the Philippine Eagle. I am also glad to hear, there's the Philippine Eagle Foundation, which help its numbers proliferate, not only the Philippine Eagle, but other types of eagle as well.

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!! 💖
