The Philippine Eagle Center

    "Haribon" (Philippine "monkey-eating eagle) is the Philippine's national bird. When you are in Davao City, you should not miss going at The Philippine Eagle Center. It is located at Malagos, Baguio District, Davao City a 45 minutes drive from the airport. An affordable entrance fee is being charged to the guests, 50php for adults and 30php for ages below 18 years old.

    It is a center owned by the government where the endangered eagles are taken cared of. The place is really suitable for the eagles because of the natural surroundings. You can see big trees and different variety of plants. As i have remembered, we saw 4 Philippine Eagles caged separately and inside the cage is a big tree where they can settle in peacefully. A lot of species of eagles where also there.

    This center is perfect for education for all ages. There is an available tour guide that will give you knowledge about the eagles. When we went there, we did not joined the tour guide. Instead, we explored the place on our own. You will also gain knowledge without the tour guide because there are complete details in front of the cage of eagles and other animals. While we were walking, we noticed a lot of names engraved on the path walk. Those names were said to be the people who had helped maintain the beauty of the Philippine Eagle Center. 

Information

    I truly recommend this place to visit especially for us Filipinos so that we will not be a stranger to our own national bird. Even just a simple knowledge about their way of life is somehow enough for us to be proud that we have the "Haribon" only in our country. Those eagles are struggling for survival of their species and may we be an instrument of hope for them.

    "Malagos" is named after the Tagalog term "agos" which means running water(malakas na agos). The place is rich in natural running water especially in the Philippine Eagle Center. The sound of the running water is so magical that you will be tamed instantly and get the stress out of your mind.
