This bird is not Critically endangered. They have improved since last time which only had about less then 100 but now it's like alot now. Also, about changing the name, it should be Philippine Eagle since it can only be found in the Philippines! If it's some where in another countries I will accept in changing it but since you can only find it in parts of Philippines then I believe people can and should call it Philippine Eagle!
Also about that carabao you are talking about. Obviously we can't call Water buffalo our own name for it because you can find water buffalos in other parts of asia. We can't call it ours not like the Philippine Eagle which is only found in the Philippines. Same goes for SAMPAGUITA. You can find that flower in other countries so we can't own it by naming it the official name as SAMPAGUITA for everyone!
If you are complaining that we shouldn't name it as an english word then I believe you should call it Haring Ibon or Haribon instead if you don't like it being called by an english name like Philippine Eagle.
210.185.184.98 12:31, 10 August 2007 (UTC) Well, i may be not the best person to tell about the Haribon. But I beg to disagree with calling it the Philippine Eagle. There is no English common name for this bird. The term Philippine Eagle is nothing but an invention. I believe that as the English speaknig world accepted to use the word 'CONDOR' (from Quechua) rather than 'HAWK', they begin to accept the natinve name we gave to our national bird.
After all, unlike the 'CARABAO', there is no other country in the world that claims the 'HARIBON' to be a symbol of their national pride. If someone argues that the 'HARIBON' has an existing English name, I suggest that we change the name of 'SAMPAGUITA' into 'ARABIC JASMINE'. Well, that is just a reaction. Thank you.

I've always known and heard it as "Philippine Eagle". And I think it is the widely known name for it. So I vote we keep it that way 192.146.101.24 07:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
What is meant by "this country" at the end of Unique Evolutionary History? I presume it means the Philippenes but it is not clear at first glance. It could potentially be interpreted as the country in which the writer is situated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoyo1505 (talk • contribs) 10:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I think it's clearly talking about the Country - Philippines, for it's obvious, the eagle specie aa named "Philippine eagle." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.49.198 (talk) 10:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pseudo-plagiarism
The 'unique evoltutionary history' section really needs paraphrasing. It is mostly an exact copy of the cited source, and is, like the source, poorly written. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 04:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
