00:00Alain is the president of Samahang Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines.

00:07Being a photographer is accidental, actually.

00:11We need to produce an informational material about the conservation of Candaba Swamp.

00:17We were looking for photographers of wild birds.

00:20A while ago, it was hard to get permission from foreign photographers.

00:25So we said, let's take a picture.

00:28That was the next time.

00:30After many hours in the jungle, Alain was able to fulfill his dream.

00:38As always, the Philippine Eagle is the holy grail of a bird photographer in the Philippines.

00:42Of course, it was exciting, very exciting at that time.

00:46The Philippine Eagle has been flying in the jungle for more than a year.

00:52From laying eggs to its growth and flight.

00:56How important is the Philippine Eagle in terms of creating awareness about everything else in the wild?

01:05It's the one who starts the discussion.

01:08Especially, we look at the Philippine Eagle as our own keystone of all species in the Philippines.

01:15From there, we can expand the discussion.

01:19It's not just the Philippine Eagle, there are other wildlife.

01:23His visit to the Philippine Eagle was illustrated in a book.

01:28It started here, on day minus one.

01:32When we saw it in the nest.

01:35Just the parents.

01:37Then, we saw that it had eggs.

01:41It had eggs.

01:43At the 411, the day when it fled.

01:48When we say it fled, it already flew from that tree nest to another tree.

01:54But, it's still there.

01:57As long as it's not chased by its parents, it's still there.

02:03It's taught to fly, it's taught to hunt.

02:07Unfortunately, that's what happened.

02:11Its father was shot.

02:15Here it is.

02:16It was shot 235 times.

02:19Last year, Sinabadan was shot.

02:25Three bullets of air gun were found in his body.

02:29Sinabadan was saved and is now in the care of the Philippine Eagle Foundation.

02:34Sometimes, it's not because of the food, but because of the instinct of hunting.

02:39It's like you're just a shooter, it's like a sport.
