BALANGA City, Bataan: A farmer rescued a young eagle and turned it over to the Environment and Natural Resources Office (ENRO) at the provincial capitol here. ENRO chief Victor Ubaldo said the bird belongs to the Philippine Serpent Eagle species and is still very young. He said an adult one measures 1.2 meters. Serpent eagles can be seen in cleared forests in major islands in the country. Dr. Alberto Venturina, provincial veterinarian, with two other veterinarians, thoroughly examined the body of the bird. Cyril Dilig said his father, farmer Lorenzo, rescued the eagle from a dog that was chasing it in their farm in Balanga City last Saturday before turning it over to the ENRO on Monday.
