Hello Eric! Please join the mission "Moths in the Philippines" at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15913873. We'd love to have this lovely moth and the rest of your moth spottings there. Thanks!
Eric Noora
Yup Marta. It's a shaggy dog face :-)
The MnMs
Haha! is tru about the doggie face, and the sides could be long ears from the dog :-)
Ashish
Hi you can use any ID go with referred one...!!
Eric Noora
Thanks Ashish for the ID confirmation. Asota speciosa and Aganais speciosa are synonyms. Which one is currently being used anyway? EOL and Wikipedia have a more definitive listing for Aganais (with EOL having a picture) than Asota :-)
Ashish

Eric Noora
Thanks Atul. Don't you just love the shaggy dog face pattern? :-)
