Thank you PucaK, MrsPbio. Since P. grande is endemic only in Mindanao, I settle for now on Platycerium coronarium.
I agree with PucaK. Staghorn ferns. called such because they resemble the antlers of a male deer (old name = "stag".) I've always loved finding these!
It's a staghorn fern belonging to the family Polypodiaceae. I'm not sure which species this is but it could be Platycerium grande or Platycerium bifurcatum
