The reward for information that can lead to the capture of the killer of Philippine eagle Mangayon is now P100,000.

Half of the bounty was offered earlier by Davao de Oro Governor Dorothy Gonzaga while Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga added another P50,000.

The monetary reward is being offered to intensify efforts in achieving justice for the death of the national bird.

Mangayon was shot in Davao de Oro and died from severe blood loss in July 2024, according to the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF).

PEF said military troops found the eagle with an injury on its left wing. It was already weak when found lying on the ground in Barangay Mangayon, Compostela town.

PEF added that Mangayon was the 20th eagle rescued since 2020 and the fourth gunshot victim in 2024.

Law enforcement agencies are urging those who have knowledge of the killing to come forward and help authorities.
