Gerlie, a Philippine eagle, is seen in a government wildlife centre in Manila on June 6, 2014, as the government celebrates the 16th Philippine Eagle Week from June 4-10. The 34-year-old eagle is still kept at the centre as she is blind in one eye after being hit by a slingshot. Gerlie was rescued by the centre when she was just about three years old and weighed approximately six-kilos with a height of one metre and a wing span of two metres.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are introduced to Gerlie, a majestic Philippine eagle residing in a government wildlife center in Manila. The image captures her regal presence and the resilience she embodies despite facing adversity. Celebrating the 16th Philippine Eagle Week, this photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment and protecting these magnificent creatures. Gerlie's story is one of both tragedy and triumph. At 34 years old, she remains under the care of the center due to being blind in one eye after an unfortunate encounter with a slingshot. Rescued by dedicated staff when she was just three years old, Gerlie weighed approximately six kilograms at that time and possessed an impressive height of one meter with a wingspan spanning two meters. The close-up shot allows us to truly appreciate every intricate detail on Gerlie's feathers while capturing her piercing gaze that reflects wisdom beyond measure. This image not only showcases her physical beauty but also symbolizes hope for conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding endangered species like herself. Photographer Jay Directo has masterfully captured Gerlie's essence, highlighting her strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Through his lens, we are transported into Gerlie's world – where grace meets resilience – urging us all to take action towards preserving our natural heritage for generations to come.
