They received more males than females, so all the females are currently off show for breeding while the surplus males are put on display.

A pair of Philippines eagles will be loaned to the park from the Philippines. Another first for Jurong Bird Park! One of world’s rarest eagles to land at Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park this year | Malay Mail
As the park prepares for the move, I think we can expect more and more rarities and mouth-watering species to arrive. Not all will be on display, but surely there will be more and more reasons to visit jurong before the move happens. The collection will expand greatly as far as number of endangered and rarely seen species, even if the total numbers may not increase dramatically. Several common species will be phased out. Looking forward to see the eagles.
The Philippine eagle pair will arrive in Jurong on 4 June, and presumably after a 1-month quarantine, will go on display by July. PH, Singapore sign deal to conserve endangered Philippine eagle

Went to see the Philippine Eagle's this morning. The are in the first Bird of Prey exhibit just down the hill from the Hornbills and Toucans. About a dozen or so staff gathered around as they had been acclimatizing in the cages at the back and where being released today 10 minutes after we arrived. The male was pretty quick to come out but the female was a no show. Her keeper from The Phillippines was there and he said she wouldn't come out for a while as she was guarding food. The area is roped off and with heavy mesh so not easy to photograph at this stage. I will try again in a month or so.

They (the snaps) look pretty good to me! So lucky. I should have waited a couple more months before visiting! Not that I knew they were in the process of trying to acquire a pair ahead of time.
Thanks. Bit of Lightroom magic to clean them up a bit. Will be better when I can get closer to the wire and shoot through it better. The male flew straight up to the top but staff were happy because we was sitting in the nest they had set up.
I've been advised that the eagles will be included in both behind-the-scenes tours they are conducting, so I hope to see them in a couple of weeks
3 species of curassow are now on display: Bare-faced (pair) and Great (female) at the Hornbills aviaries, and Helmeted (pair) at Royal Ramble.
Philippine eagles are still protected from visitors getting too close, but as mentioned by GregOz earlier, the male is far more confident. The female could be seen at the edge of her box but sat there for most of the day. A few people with professional looking cameras were waiting for a shot but they'd mostly drifted away. I did the new 'Bird's Eye tour' - I was the only one which was great, but the guide (who was very polite) could have brushed up on her knowledge a bit. We stopped at the eagles, but unfortunately the tour didn't include the privilege of getting beyond the extra barriers. Hope to visit again on Monday. All species of touracos are now in one aviary in Royal Ramble and I was surprised to see signage for Purple crested which I thought had left the collection. Some interesting new passerines in Wings of Asia, including Coleto myna - will post some photos some time soon. Interestingly, the signage outside the bird park has been minimalised, possibly in preparation for the big move. Usually between Boon Lay interchange and the park (bus route) there are at least a couple of directional signs which were gone.
