Yellow-vented Bulbul or Eastern Yellow-vented Bulbul. I know what you're thinking but "bulbul" is actually Arabic in origin meaning Nightingale. This bird is locally known in Tagalog as purak, luklak or malipago. They are among the most common urban birds in the country, easily spotted in gardens, parks, and even subdivisions. Just look around and you'll see them right away.
