Sometime in October

Last weekend was in Davao. First aim was to go to the Philippine Eagle Sanctuary where I finally met Pag-Asa, the first Philippine eagle born and bred in captivity. There were more than 20 of these monkey-eating eagles. What's so recognizable about them is their punky feathered head (reminded me of Rod Stewart) and when lured, they can show-off their wingspan of 8 meters.




At the Paradise Resort in Samal, there's a mini-zoo where caged animalias like this are a sight when they get tired doing nothing in the Lucena or La Union-type of beach resort.








You can even witness a ship passing by your snorkeling area when you're lucky. The resort is directly in front of a small port where you'll see Petron oil tank docks and B-Meg Fertilizer smoke belching factories I am perfectly not sure if Choliform is high in the area. I wasn't also sure if I saw swirls of oil in the water when on a boat ride headed to the island. I was not sure if Mayor Duterte knows about this.



While all the showbiz birds of Malagos flaired their tricks when the show was about to end, this owl just hid in its tiny little grassy corner.
