About
The Philippine Eagle Center (PEC) is an 8.4-hectare area located at the foothills of Mt. Apo in Malagos, Baguio District, Davao City and situated within the Malagos Watershed. The Philippine Eagle Center primarily operates as a conservation breeding facility for the critically endangered Philippine Eagle and other birds of prey. The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) is a private non-stock, non-profit organization. We at the PEF work towards giving the critically endangered Philippine Eagle a fighting chance to survive and thrive in its natural territory. Therefore, we are also committed to the preservation of the eagleā€™s rainforest habitat and the biodiversity it represents.

    Exploring at the Philippine eagle center šŸ¦…
    As for our experience we enjoyed a lot and spend our time for exploring different collection of birds and animals. The environment is very peaceful and clean. The tour guides are friendly and gave us more knowledge. Highly recommended we will visit again next time.

    Must do in Davao
    We recently went to Davao and decided to visit the eagle center. We met two awesome tour guides, Luigi and Darwin ( interns) who are both knowledgeable and funny. Although Luigi was more talkative than Darwin. Even if the tour was only less than an hour it fells like I learned a ton about the eagles and other animals at the center. Itā€™s worth every penny. I will definitely do this again when weā€™re back in Davao.

    See the majestic Philippine eagles.
    One of the highlights of my trip to Davao City. Instead of taking a taxi or Grab, I decided to take a jeepney ride. Take a jeep to Calinan Transport Terminal and ride a van with label ā€œCALINANā€. Travel time is approximately 1 hour. I asked the drover to drop me at Calinan Market and from there, I took a pedicab towards Philippine Eagle Center. My fare totaled to almost ā‚±300 instead of the ā‚±1,300++ if I took Grab. Take time to observe the birds and be respectful of the surroundings (no noise is allowed, no littering, no scaring the animals, etc.). Try to leave some tip as well as this will go to the management of the center. Donā€™t forget to bring some insect repellant. Mosquitoes are everywhere! The only thing that I didnā€™t like is the small enclosure of the majestic Philippine eagles. I wonder if they get depressed inside their very small and restrictive cages! After my visit, I went out to the highway and hailed a pedicab and headed nearby Malagos Garden Resort (fare is ā‚±30). From Malagos Resort, I went across the highway and took a pedicab towards Calinan. I asked the driver to drop me at ā€œL300 or Talodaā€. From there, just ride the van going to Roxas Night Market (just across Ateneo De Davao) for a sumptuous and cheap dinner.

Needs ergonomic help and maintenance but birds appear to be well cared for and cages were clean. I would suggest more donations.

I highly recommend that you visit this place in the morning of your trip to Davao. This place closes at 4 pm in the afternoon. The visit is educational.
The entrance fee is only Php150.00.

You may head to Malagos for a hearty meal after.

We went to the Philippine Eagle Foundation's centre in Davao today. It was stunning and a great way to explore the tropical local flora and fauna. We were able to see families of monkeys frolicking in their habitat, and of course, the eagles and the important breeding program.
Vendors there support their communities with many hand crafted and locally produced goods. We are very pleased with our purchases and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the centre.

I had the opportunity to travel to Davao City in the Philippines and it was an amazing experience. The city is full of life and there is so much to see and do. I would definitely recommend anyone who has the chance to visit Davao City. Here are some of the highlights from my trip:

One of the first places I visited was Mount Apo. It is the tallest mountain in the Philippines and it offers breathtaking views. I would definitely recommend hiking to the summit if you are able.

Another highlight from my trip was visiting the Philippine Eagle Center. The center is home to the world's largest eagle, the Philippine Eagle. I was able to see these majestic birds up close and learn more about them. I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery and wildlife that surrounded the center. I would highly recommend a visit to the Philippine Eagle Center to anyone interested in seeing these amazing creatures.

If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the beach, I would recommend going to Davao Gulf known as The Samala Island. There are several resorts along the gulf that offer stunning views and plenty of activities to keep you busy. I also had the chance to go snorkeling in Davao Gulf. The water was crystal clear and there were so many colorful fish. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who enjoys being in the water.



Overall, I had an amazing time in Davao City and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to travel. There is so much to see and do and the people are incredibly friendly. I can't wait to go back!.

We were in the area so we decided to add this to our itinerary. The birds were very majestic, but a quick lap around the Center and you're done. Be prepared for 2 fees (I think the first is for parking, and the second is to enter the center). Great cause.

The crew that maintained and served at the Philippine Eagle Center is just amazing--so courteous and helpful. We were relieved to see the animals and birds well cared for. To maximize your time, bring a hat or an umbrella, a hat, wet wipes (dispose of these properly!), a fan (it can get terribly humid), and an insect repellant (because wildlife and a lush garden of trees and plants attract all kinds of insects.
