Thanks, @MichaelGeiser for the ID :) It seems the species is Dicheros bicornis rowelli
MichaelGeiser
Definitely a species of Dicheros (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), and possibly D. bicornis. I don't know how many other species there are on the Philippines, and if any of them look similar to D. bicornis.
