Ascocendas are not popular in the Philippines. Vanda Sanderiana is. However, it is listed in CITES. So unless you can provide a clearance from the country of origin, certifying that it is nursery grown, the only way you can bring it into the country is if it were from in-vitro, as is the case with your orchid. Again, I cannot imagine that someone would go to the trouble of bringing back something that is not so rare, so I would guess that that is a V. Sanderiana.

Richard, ask your friend who gave you the plant if she might think that it could be called "Waling-waling".
