Air mass of the Philippines does not follow usual air mass types. Theoretically there should be 6 types of air masses (2 types based on moisture properties, maritime and continental times 3 types based on thermal properties of source region, polar, arctic/antarctic, and tropical ) however mA-type or maritime Arctic does not exist. Further classification based on temperature were added, superior, equatorial and monsoons. For the Philippines, we are experiencing 2 kinds of monsoons, southwest monsoon or habagat and northeast monsoon or amihan.

A warm air mass which would be cyclonic.
There are cold and dry air that exists in a continental polar air mass

it is continental tropical air
A warm and humid air mass, commonly known as a maritime tropical air mass, can bring thunderstorms to the US during summer. This type of air mass holds a lot of moisture, providing the necessary ingredients for thunderstorm development when it interacts with other weather systems.

A cT air mass refers to a type of air mass classification. The lowercase "c" stands for continental, or dry, while the uppercase "T" stands for tropical.
The type of air mass that brings cold, dry weather to the northeast is a continental polar air mass, which forms over cold, polar regions and brings cold, stable air with low humidity. When this air mass moves southward into the northeast, it typically brings clear skies and cold temperatures.
A continental tropical air mass typically brings hot, dry weather. This type of air mass originates over arid regions and carries warm temperatures and low moisture content.
