Congratulations Nestor for the big harvest of birds during your 1 week sortie in Bicol and for the many beautiful shots captured. Looks like you got really near to some of those birds - no wonder you were so quiet. You were so busy shooting pala  The boys (Manny, JP and Martin) missed you a lot coz whenever we'd go on a birding sortie they would always remember you. Ehemmmm, ehemmmm did you remember to bring our pasalubong ? HEhHEheHEHehHEHehE just kidding ;D |

Yes, all the ID's look right to me, including the Arctic - usually separable from the other Phyllosc by having a sort of greyish, or greyish-white breast and belly and having a crissum with no yellow (crissum = vent + undertail coverts).
Chestnut-cheeked Starling is right.

I like the Lowland white-eye with the coconuts. A good scale to use for size.
