Editor's Notes
- Visit Philippines -Celebrate the week by visiting the Philippines. The week is filled with fun activities and all you have to do is observe or join in on one of the activities. Aside from Salagbanog’s release, DENR-Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) has also prepared other activities, such as the interactive storytelling of the book, “Fly Malaya Fly.” It will livestream the activity in Singapore at the Holy Family School of Excellence, a Filipino-run school for expats. Students can watch the activity as part of the DENR’s conservation efforts to instill awareness and appreciation of the Philippine eagle. On June 4 and 5, tour guides were stationed outside the Philippine eagle exhibit at Jurong Bird Park, which is home to Sambisig and Geothermica, a pair of Philippine eagles loaned to Singapore. They provided information to the park’s visitors about the Philippine eagle, the plight of the bird, other fun facts, and their daily activities. Philippine eagle keeper Justin Huang will also post on JBP’s official Instagram account to give information on the daily activities of the birds. Videos of the Philippine Eagle Foundation’s conservation efforts and the arrival of the birds to Jurong Bird Park will be shown across the park’s tram stations from June 4 to 10. 2. Advocate against deforestation Advocate against deforestation not just during the week but throughout the year. It affects the animal in their local environment as they become displaced when they lose their habitat. 3. Spread awareness Celebrate the day by spreading awareness. Lots of people, especially those living outside the Philippines don’t know about the week and so it presents a good opportunity to introduce them to the Philippines eagle.
