Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common (del Hoyo et al. 2007, Allen 2020). It occurs on Mt Victoria, Mt Mataling, Mt Borangbato, Mt Mantalingajan (at the peak) and at Magtaguimbong which may function as individual subpopulations; however, the species is monotypic and individuals may therefore occasionally disperse between mountains but this requires genetic confirmation.

Trend justification: Forest cover loss in this species's range is minimal (1.0-1.5% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein) and is not believed to be occurring at a rate greater than that of natural variation. In the absence of any additional threats, the population is therefore suspected to be stable.
