From Puerto Princesa Tourism: “The statue is not merely a decorative peacock. It represents the Palawan peacock-pheasant, locally called the tandikan (Polyplectron napoleonis). Puerto Princesa uses the bird as its official avian symbol and features it prominently in the city seal. The city’s tourism office specifically describes the Baywalk sculpture as an emblem of the Palawan peacock-pheasant.”
