From Samal Island (an island almost touching southcentral Mindanao and near Davao). Some type of Draco has been suggested. I am unable to really see the patagium and am not aware that the Dewlap in Draco is supported by a bony internal spine as appears to be evident in this photo. Any help appreciated.

hello Steve,
indeed it is surely a flying dragon ( genus Draco ) but about the species I've to look in some german magazines which I have at the moment not here but I will reply later on that.
Hope this will help, Greetings from the Netherlands

My best guess is, Draco bimaculatus or Draco ornatus
