One Philippine Hawk Eagle was transported by the personnel of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Tayabas City to the DENR CALABARZON Wildlife Rescue Center in Calauan, Laguna on September 18, 2023, for rehabilitation.

The aforementioned wildlife has been spotted and rescued by one Mr. Raymond Lajara, a resident of Brgy. Market View, Lucena City, Quezon while gathering fruits for his business in Brgy. May-it, Lucban, Quezon on the evening of September 10, 2023.

The concerned rescuer sought aid from the City Government of Lucena, where Mr. Ulpiano Fedencio M. Tabernilla, a deputized Wildlife Enforcement Officer (WEO) of the said office provided assistance to Lajara. They immediately brought the wildlife to the CENRO Tayabas for proper procedure.

Immediately after turning over the wildlife to the CENRO Tayabas, it underwent a medical inspection/examination with the help of the Quezon Provincial Veterinarian, Mr. Philip Augustus C. Maristela, DVM. According to him, the wildlife appeared to have a fracture on its right wing and was recommended for further rehabilitation/examination at the said wildlife center.

Moreover, this activity aligns with the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act (RA 9147) to preserve and encourage ecological balance, and biological diversity for the preservation and protection of wildlife species and their natural habitats.###
