38. The Philippine Eagle
The monkey-eating eagle, also known as the Great Philippine Eagle or Haribon, is a majestic bird that is
endemic to the Philippines. It is a critically endangered species, which means it is in danger of becoming
extinct.
The Philippine Eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. It has a wingspan that can
reach up to 2 meters and a length of around 1 meter. This eagle has a unique appearance, with striking
blue-grey eyes, a brown and white plumage, and a distinctive crest on its head.
The Philippine eagle is an apex predator and was known initially as the monkey-eating eagle because it was
believed to feed only on monkeys. However, its diet includes other mammals such as flying lemurs, tree
squirrels, civets, fruit bats, and rats. It also preys on birds and reptiles, even large snakes, and lizards, in
some locations.
The Philippine eagle can be found on four major islands: eastern Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao. The
largest numbers of eagles reside on Mindanao. They live mainly in steep or rugged forest areas, from the
lowlands to mountains.
Its population has drastically declined due to habitat loss from logging and expanding agriculture. Illegal
hunting, mining, pollution, and exposure to pesticides that affect breeding are also major threats.
Conservation efforts are being made to protect these magnificent birds and their habitats. The Philippine
government, along with various organizations, is working to raise awareness and enforce laws to ensure
their survival.

52. Lesson 26
Reading
Instructional
Texts

53. Instructional texts are another type of text that conveys
information on how to do something. It includes texts
like:
• Recipes
• Instruction manuals to help you build or install or use
something
• Web pages that tell you how to register or apply for
something
• Instructions for taking medicines
• Instructions for doing something like playing a video
game.

54. In this lesson, we are going to look at an
instructional text on what to do if you lose your cell
phone and we are going to see how it works so that
when you get a text to read that you have not seen
before you know:
• whether it is an Instructional text
• how it works – its parts or structure – how it starts
and then how the rest of it is organized
• where its most important information is located.

55. Remember that Instructional texts usually have a structure of three major components:
A heading or title that describes the purpose of
the instructions
Things needed to perform the task.
Steps in the order that they need to be
done to achieve the outcome.

give instructions about what to
do if you lose your cell phone,
Component 2 may not be needed.

wherever the owner goes
• Service Provider - the internet company to which the phone is
connected
• SIM card – a smart card inside the cell phone that carries
identification information
• two-factor authentication – a password and one other way of
identification – e.g., a thumb print or an email address
• IMEI number – The International Mobile Equipment Identity
Number, usually 15 digits long, that all cell phones have.

call your lost phone. Listen for the ringtone or vibration to help locate it. If someone answers,
