Population justification: The currently known populations in the municipalities of San Mariano, Isabela and Baggao, Cagayan have been carefully monitored since 2012. The current population estimate in these two municipalities is 50 mature individuals. The total global population is precautionarily estimated to number fewer than 250 mature individuals, and so it is placed in the band 50-249 mature individuals. This equates to 75-374 individuals in total, rounded here to 70-400 individuals.

Trend justification: The species is suspected to be declining at an unquantified rate owing to the extensive loss of forest habitat on Luzon.
