I, Jose Romualdo “Rom” Baldillo Cumagun, shot Philippine eagle Pamana.
I say so because my best efforts to learn more about him weren’t good enough.
What do I really know about the Philippine eagle?
I shot Pamana because I did not teach my family enough about the wild birds of the Philippines.
When did I teach my wife and 4 children about Philippine raptors?
I shot Pamana because I did not integrate love for wildlife enough in my lesson plans.
Was I able to integrate bird calls in my corporate communication lessons ?
I shot Pamana because I did not write enough about how much the Philippine eagle means to me. I remember in my younger years that it was originally called as the monkey-eating eagle and it was only when it was being called the Philippine eagle that my awareness was piqued.
Did I strive hard enough to love and protect our national treasure?
I am claiming Environment Secretary Ramon Paje’s P100,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer of Pamana. (READ: Philippine eagle found dead in Mount Hamiguitan Range in Davao Oriental)
I will use this money to buy Kennedy’s Guide to the Birds of the Philippines.
I will use the money to bring my family to bird festivals conducted by the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines.
I will use this money to bring my communication students to an expedition in Candaba Swamps, Pampanga so they can help the municipality in promoting environmental awareness.
I am the man who shot Philippine eagle Pamana; I have killed myself. – Rappler.com
