Philippine Eagle Center: Davao’s Pride

Davao City has been advertising its campaign “Our King Can Fly”. Anyone coming from and outside the city knows that this is all because of Davao’s Pride, the Philippine Eagle.

Known as the Philippines’ national animal, the Philippine Eagle is commonly found in the country’s largest city –Davao.

The center showcases 36 Philippine Eagles, 10 species of birds, 4 species of mammals and 2 species of reptiles. Aside from being a tourist destination, the center is also known to be active in educating and building activities about eco-conservation.

Tourists and locals wanting to encounter or visit the Philippine Eagle should visit the Philippine Eagle Center in Malagos, Calinan which opens from 8:00AM until 5:00PM. Malagos is just 20 to 30 minutes from the center of the city. You can use your private car or have the public transport which is readily available in Bankeroahn Public Market for vans. The bus bound for Cagayan de Oro also passes by the Calinan area which would cost one around P50. From the central district of Calinan, you should take the 10-minute tricycle ride to Philippine Eagle Center for only P6.
