munias are the real mayas right? not the eurasian sparrow?

@alfdc08

Both the Chestnut Munia and the Eurasian Tree Sparrow are called "maya." The former is referred to as "mayang bukid" while the latter is "mayang bahay." Our former national bird was the Chestnut Munia before we change it to the Philippine Eagle.
