Jake, a lot of the Philippine landmass has been badly exploited (not unusual in many tropical areas). I can remember seeing vast areas in Luzon that were practically devoid of trees.
It's not the safest place to go rambling about looking for herps! I wouldn't venture into the wilds of the PI without someone who knew the particular area well. You can certainly find some comfortable, safe resort areas though.
