Monthly water samplings for algae for one year were conducted from brackish (BW) and freshwater (FW) fishponds in Bulacan, Bulacan and Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, in Central Luzon, Philippines, respectively. A total of 58 species of flagellated algae (in their vegetative state) were identified belonging to five divisions, six classes and 18 genera. Thirty two new records and one new variety, Trachelomonas volvocina Ehrenberg var. collaris Boomee, var. nov. (Euglenophyta) are described in this paper. All the 42 species of euglenophytes were observed in the freshwater fishponds only while of the 10 species of chlorophytes, three species were found in BW ponds, five in FW ponds and two species in both types of pond. Diagnostic descriptions, illustrations, photographs and habitat records are given for each species or variety. A key is presented for the species in each divisions or genes.
