Hi Aldrin, unfortunately, the Parantica aglea is not distributed in the Philippines. Your spotting matches Ideopsis vulgaris (Blue Glassy Tiger) (sample ssp macrina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nymphalidae_-_Ideopsis_vulgaris_macrina..JPG). The ssp endemic in the Philippines is ssp palawana, but I could not find an available image in the net. Regards.
Hi Aldrin. We would love to have this spotting (and the rest of your butterfly spottings) added in this mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15553007 (Butterflies in the Philippines). Thanks!
Sorry, I do not know what this species is because I am not familiar with the butterflies of the Philippines but I am sure that it is not Parantica aglea.
