The Philippine eagle will be quite a bit larger, and they tend to take down bigger prey, so I'd probably bet on it. It's a bit of an awkward fight though, and they would probably never actually fight if you put them in the real world beyond light skirmishing to drive one another away. Fighting to the death, if one doesn't manage to take the other out immediately, they're probably both going to end up pretty injured, which is basically a death sentence in any case. The bald eagle might have more of a chance at longterm survival in that case just 'cause they're more apt to go sit in a garbage dump and basically be really big seagulls.

There's just something to be said about a bird with Talons the size of a Grizzly Bear's claws and that crushes bones with them
I think you’ll find Wales is probably the winner, although it doesn’t really count as a country (and it’s always good to remind the Welsh of this).
(Edit: I should say, a. In the case of Wales I’m not actually talking about the national bird - I’m cheating, and b. Lebanon is good, but I expect the winged creature on Wales’ flag could get a 10-count.)

Isn’t there a Golden Eagle, Bird do Big it eats bear cubs? ( Like literally swoops down, picks them up sndveats them later.) Thats my pick for most badcass Eagle.
Balds In reality are thieves who general bully ospreys and take their lunches.
