I sort of keep away from Click-, and Lady beetles.
In both families, the categories within family (tribes, genera) are a mystery to me - and not knowing where a beetle roughly belongs, prevents me from searching.
Sorry!
For Ladybirds, there is an oversight for India (will contain many species also found on Philippines):

Thank you very much, Thaptor! :) I actually don't know where to look for them (except for the tortoise beetles) so they're basically the ones who come to me/ hunt me. Or is it haunt me? :D Will you also check on my 3-inch long click beetles (2 of them - one looks like it has saw-toothed antennae while the other one is pectinate ... may be Oxynopterus sp.) and my 2 other ladybugs (a red one w/c may be Coccinella transversalis and a yellow-ochre one)? :D Thank you, Thaptor! :D
Thank you, Thaptor. If you can also find the time, kindly take a look at my 2 other long-horned beetles. I don't have that many "spottings" so they wouldn't be that hard to find. :)
Two more very similar species on Philippines (A. elsa, A. multigranula):
