The araneid may be a Neoscona species - certainly there are ones that look similar However, there are several in the Philippines.

The Agriope looks like picta but I don't know if it occurs that far north.

The first one may be a Dolomedes. Really I think you need to contact a local expert but I've no idea how you would find one.
