The Cabalian frog or Leyte slender stream frog (Hylarana albotuberculata) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is endemic to the islands of Leyte, Samar, and Mindanao in the Philippines.

It is threatened by habitat loss through deforestation and habitat conversion to agriculture as well as by the pollution due to agricultural run-off.[1]
