HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINE EAGLES

The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) continues to hope for the success of every natural pair in the Philippine Eagle Center.

Through the participation of corporations like Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, the PEF is able to look after the needs of the eagles in captivity by providing for their food, medicine, shelter, and veterinary care.

The PEF employs cooperative artificial insemination techniques and breeding of natural pairs in order to contribute to the species’ population.

PEF executive director Dennis Salvador said, “Through our partnership with Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, we hope to accomplish more in our captive breeding efforts to augment the population of the species. We urge more private companies like Phoenix to join in this noble mission of protecting our national bird from extinction.”

“We fully support the Philippine Eagle Foundation in its efforts to protect and save our majestic national bird,” said Phoenix Petroleum president and CEO Dennis Uy.

Phoenix’s adopted Philippine eagle, named after the company, is a natural pair to the female eagle “Marikit.” They have been paired for about seven years now. They are one of the four natural pairs at the Philippine Eagle Center (PEC). The pair has laid eggs in the past breeding seasons, but they were infertile.
