Described on Ebird as "A medium-sized pigeon of lowland and foothill forest canopy, with green underparts, head, and rump, a gray crown, yellow wingbars and edges to the flight feathers, a whitish belly, and white under the base of the tail.

Similar to Thick-billed Green-Pigeon, but Philippine has a thinner bill and lacks the green skin around the eye.

Forms large flocks, even with other Pink-necked green pigeon to feed on fruiting trees.

Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings that are characteristic of pigeons in general.

The IUCN has classified the species as least concern with the population to be declining due to deforestation from land conversion, Illegal logging and slash-and-burn farming.
