PHILIPPINE EAGLE CONSERVATION CENTER

The rehabilitation center is home to tropical animals and plants, as well as a variety of rare bird species. The majestic Philippine eagle reigns supreme. This superb bird of prey, haribon (as it is known locally), with its 2 m wingspan and 1 m height at maturity, is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. For this reason, it became the country's emblem when Fidel V. Ramos was re-elected in 1995.
