It looks like a Cyathea cooperi tree fern

Here is a link that might be useful: Cyathea cooperi

How did you obtain this plant? Was it a rhizome cutting or a rooted plant? C.c seems a bit unlikely.

I'm sure it is a native Philippine tree. Not a cutting. I got it from a makeshift roadside stall selling plants. The seller didn't know what it was.

There are MANY unnamed species of tree ferns in the Philippines. One named species is Dicksonia blumei. I believe most species fall under cyathea, Sphaeropteris, Alsophila etc. Good Luck

Not a difficult one to identify - it's Cyathea contaminans, a distinctive Sphaeropteris-type Cyathea tree fern that's very common right across the Asian wet tropics. Unusually for a tree fern, it's even capable of producing multiple crowns when it gets older...very strange looking. Do you have suitable conditions where you're living to care for it? People have an annoying tendency to disappear on this forum after asking a question, but I'd love to know more!

I did think it might be C. contaminans but the book I read said that it had scales and I wasn't sure if this was equivalent to the hair.

I keep it outdoors shaded by the eaves and exposed to partial afternoon sun. It is potted in a mixture of garden soil, coconut fiber and rice hull(?). Watered daily, sometimes twice a day.
