FYI: There are 4 long term stay Freedivers now here in Cebu, Moalboal.
Right now we do lots of Fundiving, Deepdive Training on the line and Outdoor Action (Motorbiking, Caves, Waterfalls).
From November 20 on there will be more arrivals and we do underwater hunting north and south of our "Homebase" Moalboal.
Bye,
Wolfgang

wdaf i saw your video on youtube and it rocks... i`m happy to know that there are still some good place to hunt.. take care btw guys check out spearfishing in cebu(youtube)
The video is from Herbert Nitsch when we went spearing together some months ago. He gave me permission to publish it.
yeah, great catch.
And especially important to mention ...
He fired his gun 5 times that day and he hit 5 big fish.
He has a very good hunting and shooting technique.
Anybody who knows how shy red snapper and lapulapu (grouper) are in the phils knows what i mean.

red snapper are very skittish and our lapulapu compared to groupers abroad is hard to approach which add to the degree of difficulty.. add to that that we make our own speargun from scratch and has limited range. that trygons speargun looks veryyyyyyyyyyyy sexy. thanx again wdaf. miles woolgar also has a vid spearfishing in cebu but no underwater scene.. 
Spearfishing is not allowed in Anilao, Batangas and of course in the fish sanctuaries. Asking the local fishermen in the area on where to spearfish would be most prudent. One can buy good quality spearguns in the Philippines, though most local dive shops would not advertise selling spearguns. Get in touch with me if you want to buy Riffe spearguns. I know the person who imports it here. The person (or his shop) may be mentioned in the Riffe website. I do not want to mention the shops that do sell spearguns as obviously, that sort of attention would not be welcomed by them, for reasons they only know about. Spearfishing is not illegal here.
... traditional wooden high quality spearguns = RIFFE
... if you want high precision carbon spearguns for long distance shots or big fish ... i am your man - TRYGONS
yeah, from own experience i know that especially north and east of cebu dynamiting is still very common.
regarding fish in malapascua i heared the same. few and small, except the treshers
.if you want to find bigger pelagic fish in the philippines you have to go to more remote and inconvenient (strong current, submerged structures, ...) locations.
