MANILA, Philippines – The pair of Philippine eagles that the country is loaning to Singapore were flown there Tuesday, June 4, by plane, courtesy of the Philippine Airlines (PAL).
Fifteen-year-old male eagle Geothermica and 17-year-old female eagle Sambisig will be staying for an indefinite amount of time at Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park following the Philippines’ loan agreement with Wildlife Reserve Singapore.
In a statement on Tuesday, PAL said that while it has a long experience in flying animals, this is the first time that it has carried a critically endangered specie. PAL itself sponsors a female Philippine eagle named Sinag.
The Philippine government, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Philippine Eagle Foundation, loaned the pair to Singapore as a sort of “insurance policy” should anything threaten the remaining population.
