Possibly a female Gasteracantha diadesmia.

It also matches the illustration on page 557 of Riceland Spiders of South and Southeast Asia by A. T. Barrion, J. A. Litsinger, C.A.B.
updated... thanks bayucca.
Gasteracantha as genus is correct, but not Gasteracantha cancriformis, this is a neotropical species and not found on the Philippines.
