MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) pledged to continue investigating and exploring systematic geographic information system mapping and modeling of topography, wind patterns, and other climate parameters after the eagle Uswag crashed and drowned off the coast of Baybay City in Leyte on July 30.

'Doing so can allow us to predict which areas within Leyte and other future release sites, as well as in suitable Philippine eagle habitats across the country, have the highest risk of crashes,' the foundation said in an incident report on Monday.
