Hi Lani, pls see my similar spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16140010. Cassida circumdata is the species occurring in the Philippines.

I don't think this is Charidotella sexpunctata, which is a North American beetle. It's a fabulous tortoise beetle though.

Thanks, Ashish. Been trying to look for its scientific name with no success.
