Apis cerana
The Philippine cerana is 10 mm long and the color is black with four yellow abdominal stripes. Apis cerana could be mistaken for Apis mellifera but flies more quickly and erratically while feeding on flowers. The thorax and abdomen have less hair than mellifera https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/26.... It has also more prominent, evenly spaced, and consistent abdominal striping.
