The foundation earlier said Rajah is "healthy and fit and ready to be brought back to his forest home in Lingig."

PEF thanked their conservation partners and donors which supported the rehabilitation of Rajah, who was rescued in Lingig and turned over by environmental authorities to the group.

The Philippine eagle is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Only an estimated 400 pairs exist in the wild.
