What cobra(s) do you see in your province? Most typical are the Yellow Phil. cobra (Naja philippinensis) or the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hanah). The Southern Phil. cobra (Naja samarensis) and the Sumatran or the Black Spitter (Naja sumatrana) are although widely distributed, their sightings are far less common that those of the latter two..

Bamboo Pit viper (Tremeresurus flavomaculatus flavomacuatus) and the Temple or Wagler's viper (Tropidoleimus wagleri), both common there in the Phils...
The bamboo viper, named such for its bamboo-like color (they dont live in, on, or around bamboos mind you). While the temple viper was named such because it used to be revered by natives (till now) as a sight of fortune and misfortune, an icon of omen. T.wagleri's common name i believe is "Dupong"...
Both have very strong hematoxic venoms, both are pit vipers, both are arboreal, and definitely both are stunningly, deadly sexy beautiful...
