The Philippine Eagle Center

Day 2 - The Philippine Eagle Center

The Philippine Eagle Center is actually beautiful. Lots of trees... cool shade, but its area was just small.  There are few birds being taken cared of. And there are very few varieties of birds to see.  But I am not an expert, so maybe I am not quite right in my opinions.  

The conservation efforts are commendable but I think the center needs more funding to really achieve their mission. I hope the center will continue to strive to keep the place, maybe expand it a little bit more... keep it as it is - clean. Although I am not happy to see these magnificent birds in cages or leashes, but they are worth visiting so that an awareness can be created for the kids and the next generation. The awareness to preserve and protect our habitat and all those living in it.




There is a minimal fee of 100 pesos per adult...



The stone path bears the names of people who probably contributed for the park's upkeep... I do believe the park needs more funds.

An eagle in a cage... how sad

No cage, but the eagle is tied...

We were so amused by the antics of this show-off eagle...
