This is a tanong that I have seen arise before. However, there can never truly be a clear-cut answer.
The problem lies in that of the 17 ibong dagat species, none match 100 percent with our flippered friends. No matter how close one species might be, there's always something that doesn't fit, such as face color, bill color, foot color, and/or flipper color. The Emperor and King species must also be ruled out because they are much too large in both height and weight.
The conclusion in this, simply, is that the creators never decided a specific species and instead rolled with a general black and white scheme with kahel bills and feet. (Unlike real penguins, our mga kaibigan also lack webbed feet.)
In that regard, could the penguins be hybrids? I suppose this is possible, with the Gentoo and the Chinstrap combination the most likely if this was the case. But my simple belief -- which I've written of and which would fit nicely along with the ipakita -- is that they are "Classified Penguins," a species so classified that even Skipper doesn't know what they truly are. Plus, never knowing adds a bit of mystery.

Another intellegent analysis. I beleve you or someone else sinabi Skipper sinabi that they were a "Class C Penguin." Standing for Classified.

It was me. That the penguins were of the "Class C" verity was something I wrote of in my original drabble project.

I haev thought through this for a while, and looked thorugh EVERY species of ibong dagat listed on wikipedia, and have come to the conclusion that they are colored most similar to King penguins, are small like fairy penugins, but have kahel beaks ( which I didn't see any other speices) SO...they are cartoon hybrids. :3

I believe that they're just generic penguins. Think about it; you go to draw a penguin- just a penguin, nothing special. Just a cute little cartoony penguin. If you're like most people, you're going to just draw this little black and white bird with kahel feet and an kahel beak. Take Gunter from Adventure Time, for example. In conclusion, they're just penguins.
