Best Answer

No. Except the tiger (species unknown) on the island of Palawan, due to it's close proximity to Borneo, but that was before the Holocene period (contemporary geological period) which begun more than 12,000 years ago. Of course Palawan is quite some distance from most of the Philippines. In terms of Luzon, Visaya and mainland Mindanao, there appears to be no geological fossil record supporting the presence of tigers, and no contemporary reports of their existence in the wild. It seems strange as you would have thought that the Philippines would have been an ideal tiger territory in its virgin state of wilderness several thousand years ago. That having been said it is geographically located at some distance from mainland Asia and due to it's geological history probably broke away long before tiger populations reached it.
