    There are two of them, and can be seen most every day along the sea. Sometimes they can even be seen in Valencia.

    Most likely white-bellied sea eagles. Almost the same size as Philippine Eagles and look similar....Sea eagles are all over the Philippines (and elsewhere in south-east asia) - but like everything else - numbers are dwindling. Enjoy them while you can. The Philippine Eagle is likely restricted to Mindanao now - and stay in mountain forests. Very very few, if any, left on Luzon.
