Oxyopes javanus
Lynx spiders are the members of the family Oxyopidae. They all are hunting spiders that spend their lives on plants, flowers and shrubs. Some members of the genus Oxyopes are abundant enough to be important in agricultural systems as biological control agents. This is especially true of the striped lynx spider.
Spotted in the garden, on a cockscomb flower.

I changed the ID from Oxyopes salticus to Oxyopes javanus. O. javanus is the one with Philippine distribution.
