Pellet Reportedly Found in Eagle’s Dead Body

Gikatahong aduna’y nakasulod nga fragment sa 5 millimeters nga pellet sa may tuong dughan sa lawas sa namatay nga agilang si PAMANA (Pithecophaga jefferyi). Pinasubay kini sa gihimong otopsiya sa pipila ka parte sa lawas sa agila, human kini nakaplagang patay sa Mt. Hamiguitan niadtong Agosto 10, pipila lamang ang distansiya sa lugar kung diin kini gibuhi-an niadtong Hunyo 12, 2015 ni TV Host Kim Atienza sa Mt. Hamiguitan Range and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Gibutyag kini ni Police Chief Inspector Zelmar Abuan Soriao, ang Chief of Police sa lungsod sa San Isidro. Gidugang pa ni Soriao nga naghimo na sila og hugot nga imbestigasyon sa nahitabo sa tulo-ka-tuig nga babayeng agila. Gani, gipulong na niya niadtong Agosto 20 ang mga porters aron sayron gikan kanila kung aduna ba sila’y mga kasayuran o impormasyon nga makatabang sa pagtino kung unsa gayod ang nahitabo. Kahinumduman nga Agosto 10 na-monitor na sa Phil Eagle Foundation (PEF) gikan sa ilang observation post nga ana-a sa “mortality mode” ang radio signals, nga nagpasabot lang nga kung wala naguba ang radio monitoring unit, ang agila mismo ang namatay.

Tungod ni-ini, gi-trace dayon sa PEF ang gikahimutangan sa Philippine eagle. Nasayran nga gidala diretso sa mga sakop sa PEF ang “decomposed body” ni PAMANA sa Davao, ug Agosto 19 na nasayran ang balita. Human usab nasayran ang nahitabo, nagpulong sab dayon ang PNP ug si Mayor Tina Yu sa San Isidro nga nasubo ug dismayado sa nahitabo sa agila.

Labot niini, si Davao Oriental Governor Corazon Malanyaon nagtanyag og P50,000 nga ganti alang kang kinsa man nga makahatag impormasyon aron maaresto ang mga responsable sa pagpatay kang PAMANA. Mitaas ang kinatibuk-ang bounty ngadto sa P150,000 human mitanyag usab ang administrasyong Aquino og P100,000 reward. Gimando sa gobernadora ang provincial police, ug ingon man ni Mati City Mayor Carlo P. Rabat ang local police sa paghimog hugot nga imbestigasyon ug paggukod sa mga kriminal. Miapelar usab si Rabat sa mga residente sa tulo ka mga barangay aron mokooperar sa nagapadayon nga imbistigasyon sa mga otoridad.
