Lowland White-eye
This small fruit-eating bird is endemic to Luzon. It was taken by Mr. Ely Teehankee last August 11, 2011, at the school parking lot.

The TRCP 2011 logo first appeared on the 2011 Earth Fund Run shirt. The logo features the first organisms to spark our interest in the watershed- kingfishers, butterflies, frogs and flowering plants. Mr. Seth Estacio helped us with the design.
