Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common in primary forest (del Hoyo et al. 2001). On Polillo island, density estimates of the species were found to be 4.75 individuals/km2 in disturbed forest and 1.25 individuals/km2 in residual forests (Mamangun & Gonzalez 2009).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline locally owing to ongoing habitat destruction and hunting for food and trade (del Hoyo et al. 2001). Due to online trade via social media, there has been an increase in local illegal hunting incidents (E.A. Lastica Ternura in litt. 2020), but the rate of decline has not been quantified.
