BTW, Fomitopsis pinicola includes Philippines in its distributional range.
Pls check out also the following spottings if they are also Fomitopsis pinicola:

TYVM!
Thank you shebebusynow. Pls check out this other spotting; it was on the same log as this spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/196....
I think it more likely that this is a belted conk e.g. Fomitopsis pinicola, though I don't know if that species lives in that area. Ganodermas are annuals--did you find old ones on the same log? Conks are longer-lived.
