Sorry, @Chun, didn't have any other shots as it was not facing me and I was not too keen to take too many shots as it was starting to rain at that time.

MarcosJulianAntinori is really keen in identifying spiders but several of his suggestions are not right.

Any front view of the spider?
If she has those fancy "mask" or "glasses", it's a Thomisus sp.

I am sceptic about Misumena vatia be found on the Philippines. It generally found in whole Europe to Japan and some parts of US. But the Philippines are a tropical or subtropical area, so quite different from the continental aera. We should have reports from the Philippines, Thailand or Indonesia to be sure it is Misumena vatia.
