The Philippine Hawk-Eagle, known in French as aigle des Philippines and in Spanish as aguila-azor Filipina (Nisaetus philippensis earlier treated under Spizaetus[2]) is a species of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. Many taxonmists consider the Pinsker's Hawk-Eagle, a former subspecies, raised to full species status.[3][4][5] It is endemic to the Philippines.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
