Hiho. Yes, your right! i google " lasiocampidae philippines" and i found a very similar specimen. it's name Lappet Moth - Streblote castanea.

Streblote castanea (Swinhoe, 1892), family Lasiocampidae, subfamily Lasiocampinae. Lasiocampidae Harris, 1841, is a family of moths known as Eggars, Snout Moths or Lappet Moths. Their common name 'Snout Moths' comes from their unique protruding mouth parts of some species that resemble a large nose. They are called 'Lappet Moths' due to the decorative skin flaps found on the caterpillar's prolegs. The name 'Eggars' comes from the neat egg-shaped cocoons of some species. From the Greek lasio (wooly) campa (caterpillar).
