It's there, though, Alan -- but not called 'Bundok', and resequenced to another place:

Thicket Flycatcher Ficedula luzoniensis (Ogilvie-Grant, 1894) R LC
Ficedula hyperythra and F. luzoniensis (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) were previously lumped as F. hyperythra following Sibley & Monroe (1990, 1993).
