Habitat:
This species inhabits lower montane and lowland forests, where it is found in forest, along forest edges, and in secondary growth vegetation. It has also been found in the axils of Abaca (Muca) plants (A. Diesmos pers. comm. March 2018). This is a highly adaptable species that also occurs in modified habitats beside forests. It lives and presumably breeds in water-filled tree-holes and hollows.

Range:
This species is found on Catanduanes Island and on several mountains of the Bicol Peninsula of Luzon Island, in the Philippines, from 0–800 m asl. It is expected to be found more widely in other, similar forested mountain habitats within the Bicol Peninsula (A. Diesmos pers. comm. March 2018). Its estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is 13,201 km2.

Conservation:
Conservation Actions
It occurs in Mount Isarog and Bulusan Volcano Natural Parks on Luzon Island. Since the 2004 assessment, in collaboration with various regional academic institutions, NGO-led awareness campaigns have been taking place to educate the public regarding the need to protect remaining forests on Luzon Island, resulting in positive responses by local communities and improved protection for priority species (Philippines Red List Assessment Workshop May 2017).

Conservation Needed
A protected area needs to be established on the island of Catanduanes to protect this island's biodiversity.

Research Needed
More information is needed on this species' distribution, population status, and trends.
