This is one of the trees that grow in Maasin, probably a remnant of the old forest that used to be there. It must have been a very small tree when its older siblings were cut and carted away to become part of a Japanese home.
There are a few other trees growing in small pockets in a farm. Trees like this seldom grow so high, being a magnet for chain saws hungry for tree trunks. The tugas tree which grows so slowly is considered one of the hardest woods there are.
