Hi Bayucca..thankyou.
It looks a lot like Nephila pilipes..
Will go with this id..
Signature spider in to my knowledge an Argiope sp.. This one is a Nephila sp. and most probably Nephila pilipes. But you have to verify! A better common name as I wrote in the suggestion would btw be: "Giant Wood Spider", please, take this one.
