Range Description: This species is endemic to the Philippines where it is occurs on Luzon at an elevation range from 200 to 2,400 m (Musser and Carleton 2005). It is known from scattered locations from Aurora, Benguet and Camarines Sur provinces. In Balbalasang, Kalinga province, the species was recorded at 1,050-1,950 m elevation (Heaney et al. 2004).

Population [top]
Population: This species is widespread on Luzon and occurs from lowland areas up to high elevations. More common in slightly disturbed areas, although it is present in primary forest as well as badly degraded forest.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species seems to be a habitat generalist with respect to habitat and elevation. The species has been found in lowland as well as montane primary and secondary forest, including regenerating logged forest, as well as scrubby second growth and mixed agriculture (Heaney et al. 1998).
Systems: Terrestrial
Generation Length (years): 1-2
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There are no major threats but complete loss of primary or secondary forest would be a problem for this species. There is widespread burning in the area to meet minimum requirements for land ownership and this in turn promotes the growth of pine trees (wood for building and firewood). But given that this species is a habitat generalist and seems to do well in secondary habitat, this is not assumed to be a threat to the species (L. Heaney pers. comm.).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: The species occurs in many protected areas. Taxonomic studies are needed as there is geographic variation throughout the range.
