Junonia almana
Orange colored butterfly. Body length is about 30mm. May be a Peaock Pansy but I did not see it open its wings and the color is lighter.
Urban garden.
Thank you Ashish and Agnes! Will update spotting once I check on the links.
When DSF fully adopted see upper wings shape is little changed...

I think you are right Leana. It's most probably the Oriental Peacock Pansy, Junonia almana almana, the existing ssp in the Philippines. Pls compare images from http://pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/phil..., http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/161-jun....
The shape of underwing is hint here. Butterfly is not fully adopted DSF (Dry Sean Form)
