Introducing Mr. Floyd Bermejo, the wildlife photographer responsible for the image of a Philippine Eagle featured on the 1,000 bill.
Mr. Floyd Bermejo (photo above), the wildlife photographer who captured the Philippine Eagle image used in the new 1000-Piso polymer banknote, hopes his photo will inspire action to save the Philippine Eagle from extinction.
“Gusto kong ma-i-save natin iyong Philippine Eagle,” said Mr. Bermejo, whose portraits evoke a sense of gentleness in the formidable creature and pride in their beauty.
The Philippine Eagle, one of the rarest eagles in the world, is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with an estimate of only 400 breeding pairs left in the wild. Moreover, the Philippine Eagle is one of the world’s most powerful birds of prey and is native to the Philippines, making it a source of national pride and identity.
