Do you know that the founder of the flourishing Philippines Eagles, a new stakeholder in the socio-civic scenarios is Nilo Raymundo, the father of famous siblings Rannie and Lance Raymundo?
There are a thousand and one Eagles orgs in the country, one of them is Philippine Eagles YAKAP.
Let a thousand flowers bloom, a thousand thoughts contend.
Just as Mao Tse Tung had said it, the units of Eagles multiply.
Here's how publicist Patrick Bonales, an Eagle himself who is also being addressed as Kuya (a term of endearment to an older man or brother by blood or affinity), sees it:
The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) YAKAP Inc. stands as a beacon of service and brotherhood across the Philippines. As the nation's first Philippine-born fraternal socio-civic organization, we have etched a profound legacy of humanitarian commitment, empowering communities, and contributing significantly to nation-building. Our journey, officially registered with the SEC, is a testament to unwavering dedication, fostering one of the most active volunteer networks nationwide, all guided by our foundational principle: "Service Through Strong Brotherhood."
This steadfast commitment to service is not merely a motto but a way of life, manifest in countless initiatives spanning disaster relief, educational support, environmental protection, and community development. Each project undertaken reflects our deep-rooted desire to uplift the lives of our fellow Filipinos, reinforcing the bonds of brotherhood that empower us to achieve more. As we embrace 2026 with boundless optimism and renewed vigor, The Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) YAKAP Inc. commenced the new year with a truly momentous occasion. The grandeur of Hotel de Fides in Tacloban City provided the perfect backdrop for the investiture ceremony of our esteemed National Leaders.
This significant event marked a pivotal "Rebirth of the Philippine Eagle," ushering in "a new era of strength, unity, and purpose." The ceremony saw the official investiture of National President Kuya Ariel Donceras, National Vice President Kuya Xavier Aringo, and PENAPLE Chairman Kuya Jeff Maravilla, whose visionary leadership will steer the organization to new heights. The gathering was graced by the presence of a diverse and distinguished audience, including dedicated members, diligent officers, and revered guests from every corner of the Philippines, all united in their commitment to our shared mission.
Under this renewed leadership, 2026 promises to be a year of expanded outreach and impact with projects like national tree planting initiative, medical mission and Botika ng Agila, skills training and livelihood programs, and coastal clean-up.
