    Sorry Albert but I think this is not Cyphoma gibbosum. The range of Cyphoma is the Western Atlantic and Caribbean and your spotting above is in Philippines. I think here you have Diminovula margarita instead. Look at the ressemblance:

    I change it to Diminovula but if you have any issues with the ID modification let me know. Cheers.
