That happens at some point on the equator, at a single moment,
on two days of the year ... near March 21 and near September 21.
The sun is most directly overhead near the equator. This happens during the equinoxes where the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in near-vertical rays at noon.
During an equinox, the sun is directly above the equator, which is located at 0 degrees latitude. This is when day and night are approximately equal in duration all over the world.
The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
September 21 is the autumnal equinox, where the sun is directly overhead at the equator. Places along the equator, such as Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia, are most likely to experience the sun directly overhead on this date.
Sure. At the time the sun reaches the Autumnal Equinox, around September 22 or 23 each year, when the sun crosses the equator, then wherever on the equator it happens to be noon at that moment, the sun is directly overhead there. Also, don't forget about the 22 or 23 September days before that, when the sun is slightly north of the equator, plus the 7 or 8 September days after that, when the sun is slightly south of the equator. There are bunches of places within those latitudes that will have noon-sun overhead, once during the month.

This happens twice a year at on of the "equinox" (the spring equinox or the fall equinox) At noon if you are on the equator at thet oment the Sun is at the "Zenith".
At the Equinoxes, the Sun is directly above the equator.
... equator.

Duration.
Yes, during the equinoxes, the sun is directly above the equator, making it closer to the equator compared to other times of the year.
March 21 and September 21.
Because Philippines is above the Equator that is directly heated by the sun....:)

At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
Not always. The sun is directly overhead at the equator at the spring and fall equinoxes.
