The Philippine dawn bat (Eonycteris robusta) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Philippines. It occurs on many islands including Luzon, Polillo, Lubang, Marinduque, Catanduanes, Samar, Maripipi, Biliran, Leyte, Negros, Bohol, Siargao and Mindanao. It is associated with lowland forest and cave roosts, inhabiting largely undisturbed primary lowland forest as well as some secondary and disturbed forest, and it day-roosts in caves, particularly limestone caves. Its main reported pressures are deforestation and cave disturbance, and the IUCN assesses it as vulnerable.
