that's tough to say. they're so variable. definitely very closely related. I'm not sure if the white-marked is found in the phillippines. At the very least, i would say it's probably in the same genus.

Could this spotting also be a White-marked Tussock moth? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6994685

I agree with your ID Aaron8. I spotted the caterpillar of this not long ago. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6956919
