Using Google Scholar data, webometrics ranks 453 scientists in the Philippines (June 2016 report). Each of these scientists has at least an h-index of 5. Starting 1978, the National Academy of Science and Technology of the Philippines has 117 Academicians, 38 of them became National Scientists. Since 1978, the Philippines has inducted 41 National Scientists.
To date, only 17 National Scientists are still living. I attempted to locate them in the Scopus database. Not all of them has a record at Scopus. The interactive map below is an attempt to visualize where these scholars served. Each pin is the location of an institution. A pop-up window shows the number of scholars in an institution, the total citations of the scholars, and the range of h-index of the scholars. The database I am curating now has 523 records (which is in no way exhaustive).
The scholars are obviously concentrated in the National Capital Region. The map however shows that there are scholars in other parts of country.
