Philippine Oriole

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Though the species is fairly common throughout its range, the Cebu race has not been sighted since 1906 and is believed extinct; with the near-total lack of forest on the island, this does not seem impossible.

The Philippine Oriole is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
