TUGUEGARAO CITY — A Philippine serpent eagle (Spilornis holospilus) was rescued after it flew inside the house of a resident in Mabini, Baggao, Cagayan on Saturday, May 16, an environment information officer said Sunday.
The bird, apparently stressed, entered the home of Jay Carlo Tariga, who later turned it over to village councilor Caren Bribon. The official then coordinated with the Baggao Eco Vanguard Network and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-CENRO) Alcala, which has jurisdiction over the area, said Frederic Tomas, DENR-CENRO Alcala information officer.
