DescriptionPhilippine Teak (Tectona philippinensis)--an endangered and endemic tree 01.jpg
English: Philippine teak (Tectona philippinensis) is a species of hardwood tree endemic to the Philippines. Because of the unusual hardness of its wood and its resistance to termites, it has long been prized and sought after by loggers. It is now classified as "endangered" by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which makes it illegal to cut it off or sell lumber obtained from this tree. This specimen lives at the vicinity of the Marine Science Institute at the University of the Philippines in Diliman
Tagalog: Ang bunglas Pilipino/malabayabas Pilipino (Tectona philippinensis) ay isang spesye ng puno na sa Pilipinas lamang matatagpuan. Dahil sa pambihirang tigas ng kahoy nito na di basta-basta naaatake ng mga anay, sa matagal na pahanon ay pinahahalagahan at hinahanap-hanap ito ng mga mangangahoy. Kasalukuyan na itong tinuturing bilang "nanganganib nang maubos" ng Kagawaran ng Kapaligiran at Likas-Yaman (KKLY), kung kaya bawal ang pagputol nito o pagbenta ng troso mula sa punong ito. Ang nakalarawang bunglas/malabayabas ay naninirahan sa paligid ng Surian ng Agham sa Pandaragat sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa Diliman.
