Philippine Eagle Goes Viral on TikTok, Sparking Conversation About Conservation

Have you ever seen a Philippine eagle? If you haven’t, you’re not alone. This critically endangered species is one of the most elusive birds in the world. But thanks to a recent TikTok video, people worldwide are finally getting to see this unique creature up close.

Lohwana Halaq, an animal keeper at Davao City’s Philippine Eagle Foundation, recently went viral on TikTok for her video comparing the real Philippine eagle to the one represented on the new P1,000 bill.

Halaq is seen in the video holding the bill next to Sinag, the youngest Philippine eagle at the center. She then compares the two, highlighting similarities such as their golden brown feathers, white head, and sharp talons.

More than 10,000 people have shared Halaq’s video, which has received over 1.8 million views. Despite being the Philippines’ national bird, several individuals in the comments expressed their amazement at how little they knew about the Philippine eagle.

💰The Money Shot 💰 The head shot of the Philippine eagle species replaced the former 1000 peso bank note design of the three Filipino martyrs and civic rights actitivists of the resistance against the Japanese occupation of World War II. The Philippine eagle is the national bird of the Philippines 🇵🇭  and thus should recieve the recognition it deserves. From my experience working with these beautiful animals I can truthfully say that it shocks me much our own Filipino citizens do not know this eagle exists or what it even looks like. Despite its high profile status in media, culture and government. I’ve had many guest interactions in  which local Filipino visitors come up to ask me: “ma”am, nasaan ang Philippine agila?” , “ma,am where can I find the Philippine eagle?” … I am literally holding the Philippine Eagle on my arm…. I look at them look at my eagle, Sinag, and look back at them and point out “You are staring at the Philippine Eagle”… I have conservations with Filipinos abroad in Canada and I explain to them that I work and live in the Philippines as an Animal Keeper and I help breed the critically endangered Philippine eagle species. Many of them comment: “I did not know we have this eagle in the Philippines”…. my response usually is “did you even open your Filipino passport?” As the Philippine Eagle is also featured in the Filipino Governing passport. It is clear that awareness plays a crucial role in species conservation from local to international recognitions. Education is key. There is improvement, and progress may be is slow, but saving this species from extinction is worth it. #philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 #philippineeaglecenter #philippineeagles🦅🇵🇭 #capcut

According to Halaq, she made the video to encourage people to learn more about the Philippine eagle, an endangered species, and raise public awareness of it. She added that spreading awareness of the need to preserve the Philippine eagle through education is essential for species conservation.

Only about 500 Philippine eagles are alive in the wild, making it a severely endangered species. The Philippine eagle is endangered mainly by habitat loss, hunting, and electrocution.

Action must be taken to safeguard the Philippine eagle’s habitat, crack down on illegal hunting, and educate people about the significance of this species if we are to prevent its extinction.

The video uploaded by Halaq is an excellent representation of how social media can be utilized to spread awareness of significant environmental issues. Halaq has aided in educating people about the Philippine eagle and encouraging them to take action to save this endangered species by sharing her video with her followers.

@lohwanahalaq

Philippine Eagle Sinag. Sinag is my 7 year old human imprinted Philippine eagle. He is one of our semen donors for our conservation breeding program. Sinag regards me as his surrogate mate and together we are able to contribute to the next generation of Philippine eagles via Cooperative artificali semination (CAI) methods. He has officially reached age of sexual maturity. Breeding any eagle in captive settings is difficult as is, even more difficult is knowing that the Philippine eagle species is literally going extinct and it is my responsibility to ensure that this does not happen. The Philippine Eagle Foundation is the only Breeding facility in the world to successfully rehab, reproduce and release eagles back into the wild. It is imperative for the success of this species that the global community is aware and supporting all conservation efforts to avoid extinction. Let us not loose another world treasure due to human exploitation and apathy. 🎶” If there is something you want to do just do it, don’t let your head stop your heart from moving. “🎶 – @catburns To support Philippine eagle Conservation visit: www.philippineeaglefoundation.org #philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 #philippineeagles🦅🇵🇭

♬ live more & love more – Cat Burns

Together, let’s preserve and protect the Real Philippine Eagle. We can ensure the continued existence of this fantastic bird for future generations by increasing awareness of it. Join the movement, share the video, and l let’s make a difference together!

Here’s to the Broken Hearts Who Stayed Broken

We’ve heard of people choosing to finally move on, but how about those who chose to stay broken? What’s their story?

To truly heal is to be happy. 

To truly heal is to let go of the pain that’s been holding us back. 

But— what if we fail to continue being happy? What if we don’t like the ‘healed’ version of ourselves? What then? Well…

Here’s to the hearts who stayed broken. To those who chose not to heal because they are afraid to get disappointed again. Here’s to those who feel stronger when they let themselves feel the pain and to those who choose to keep an open scar. 

Photo from Unsplash

To those who built their walls, to those who closed their doors, to those who are unwelcoming of changes in their lives. Here’s to those who are afraid to leave their box of comfort. Do not feel compelled when people tell you to “suck it up and move on.”

You have the choice to heal or stay broken; if you choose the latter, that’s okay. Because sometimes, the best form of healing is to stay broken and feel the pain until it hurts no more. 

People say not to be fueled with anger and hate. But we all have something that allows us to keep going. Just like how cars have different fuels, we all have different ways to cope.

So here’s to the broken hearts who stayed broken. To the people who are not quite ready to leave the past behind. To the people who are still scared. To the people who choose not to move on.

The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee: Taking Your Celebrations to a Whole New Level

If there’s something guests look forward to during an event aside from the event itself, it’s definitely the food. And it’s even better if the food is presented in the most creative way possible.

Speaking of creativity, this might be the newest and most creative way to display mouth-watering food during an event— a grazing table. But of course, with big events, there is a need to ask for professional help. Lucky for us, Cebu has its own expert in arranging creative tablescapes— The Grazing Tables Ceby by Haydee.

The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee: Elevating Events in Luxury Within the Budget.

The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee is the perfect choice if you want to level up your tablescape game under a budget but maintain top-quality service. 

What sets The Grazing Table by Haydee apart from similar businesses is that each product and service is tailored-fit for each unique client.

  • Premium cold cuts and cheese
  • Colored mini burgers
  • Ham & Cheese Sandwiches

Pro tip: Their colored mini burgers are absolutely a must-try.

The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee: From Concept to Reality

Like any other business, The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee started as a mere concept in 2015. According to Miss Haydee, she came across captivating grazing table pictures online. 

The owner was mesmerized and intrigued by the idea of an artful display of food. Thus, she wanted to venture into a similar business. Miss Haydee started setting up dessert buffets for her family and friends, but it did not quite work out. 

However, who would have thought that Miss Haydee’s concept could impact a to-be-wedded couple’s lives? 

Upon joining a Facebook group for people in the wedding industry in Cebu in 2019, Miss Haydee came across a heart-wrenching post by a wedding coordinator. The coordinator’s client had to postpone their wedding due to the loss of their premature child. Not only that, but the couple also had to pay hospital dues, and they lost their home to a fire. 

“The post deeply moved me, and I decided to sponsor a grazing table for the wedding reception,”

SAID MISS HAYDEE. SHE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE WEDDING COORDINATOR AND BECAME A PART OF THE EVENT. 

According to Miss Haydee, the event was a ‘turning point’ for the business. She helped the couple celebrate one of the most important chapters of their life, and Miss Haydee also showcased what The Grazing Tables Cebu could offer.

Miss Haydee also had the pleasure of one of the most prominent figures in the wedding industry in Cebu, Sir Carlo Abaquita. He became the Graxing Tables Cebu’s first booking. He was fascinated by the grazing table concept and, according to Miss Haydee, ‘opened the doors’ for their business. 

And, of course, Miss Haydee extends her appreciation to her supportive husband, Eric, who is a chef from Jpark Island Resort Coral Restaurant. Eric has helped her establish The Grazing Tables Cebu by Haydee. 

Now getting the attention it very much deserves, The Grazing Tables Cebu has started catering to weddings, corporate events, parties, and other gatherings.

French stuntman Remi Lucidi Falls to His Death from the 68th Floor of a Hong Kong Skyscraper.

How far would you go for your passion? Would you still pursue it even if it means looking at death straight in the eye? 

Photo from remnigma on Instagram

It is a sad day for the stunt community as a French Instagram stunt star falls to death from the 68th floor of a skyscraper in Hong Kong. The man was identified as Remi Lucidi, who was only 30. 

Lucidi apparently lost his balance and fell from the 721-foot Tregunter Tower, as the South China Morning Post reported. Reports say the stuntman told the guard he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. As shown on the Surveillance camera, Lucidi exited the elevator on the 49th floor and made his way to the staircase.

Photo from remnigma on Instagram

Unfortunately, Lucidi got trapped outside the building. He saw a maid and knocked on the window to call the maid’s attention. The woman then called the police.

The event could have been a good “rescue story”; however, Lucidi had a mishap and fell. The stuntstar’s body and camera were then found on a patio.

Photo from remnigma on Instagram

No amount of adrenaline and risky tricks is worth trading your life for. However, if it is your passion to do stunts and showcase the highest buildings in the world, we advise you to be responsible and careful and take your safety into consideration. 

Rest in peace, Remi.

Barbie Margot Robbie’s Inspiring Volunteer Work in Cebu

Barbie actress Margot Robbie proved she has more than a gorgeous face before wearing her renowned pink attire.

An old social media post emerged featuring Margot Robbie visiting the Philippines in 2015. She took some time off volunteering at the Rise Above Foundation in Cebu. This non-profit supports local underprivileged families in the area.

Robbie helped prepare meals for the children at the foundation, playing with them and giving them gifts. She was said to be really humble and down-to-earth, and she had a great relationship with the kids.
