MANILA, Philippines — Sumapit na sa kanyang ika-15 taong gulang ang Philippine eagle na nasa P1,000 bill.
Ipinagdiwang ng agilang si Viggo, na isang captive-bred eagle at permanent resident ng Philippine Eagle Foundation sa Davao City, ang kanyang ika-15 “hatch” day kahapon.
Malugod naman siyang binati ng Philippine Eagle Foundation sa kanyang kaarawan.
“A Marvelous 15th Hatch Day Viggo!” anito pa.
“He stands as the proud face of the country’s P1,000 polymer banknote, reminding everyone of the Philippine Eagle as an endemic species,” ayon pa sa foundation sa Facebook post.
“Viggo is housed in our duplex enclosure alongside his neighbor, Marikit. As a permanent resident at the center, he is a part of our breeding program, helping secure the future of his kind,” dagdag nito.
Nabatid na isang piloto ang nakakuha ng larawan ni Viggo, na siyang napili ng Central Bank na mai-featured sa P1,000 bill.
