For Isko, it doesn't mean that the Philippine eagle could not be added anymore.
"Pwede naman sa kabila andun pa rin yung ating mga heroes tapos yung sa kabila yung ating national treasure, mga mahahalagang bagay o unique sa bansa natin eh andun pa rin katulad ng agila," said Isko, as per Inquirer's report.
