    anyway this is from my moms garden. Origin of the phal in question is from Zamboanga del Norte Philippines. I would appreciate if one could point me to the right direction.

    I agree the flower nor the leaves look like a Phal. A close-up of the flower would help us to, at least tell you the Genus, or the name of the plant.
    Good luck, The flowers are very pretty.

    Unfortunately I don't have. I actually just saw it from mom's FB account and was too intrigued to pass. I have to ask her where she's got it.
