About 1 in 10000 clovers are four leaf clovers and it is still debated whether the cause is environmental conditions, genetic, or some combination.
There has been genetic engineering efforts made to increase the production of four leaf clovers for the purpose of selling more "good luck charms".
Either way there seems to be no advantage or disadvantage to the clover plant with either three or four leaves.

Is there a four leaf clover in Philippines?
Yes there are 4 leaf clovers in the Philippines if you have clovers, you have 4 leaf clovers somewhere, and you have 5 leaf clovers somewhere and even sometimes 6-or-more leaf clovers. All it is, is a genetic mutation in the clover that tells the plant to grow 4 or more leafs instead of the usual 3 and its found wherever clovers are found. How do I know...? It's because I found one, lying innocently in my aunt's backyard. :)
