FIL: Isang malaking ibong mandaragit, partikular ang Nisaetus philippensis o Philippine hawk-eagle.
EN: hawk-eagle
This is the OG badass bird of the Philippine skies, not to be confused with the bigger, more famous Philippine Eagle (agila). Think of it as the highly skilled, agile fighter jet to the agila's heavy bomber. It's a portmanteau of "banog" (a Visayan term for hawk) and "lawin" (hawk/eagle).
Compound of "banog" (Visayan for hawk) and "lawin" (Tagalog for hawk/eagle).
Often used in literature and mythology to symbolize swiftness, sharp vision, and power.
