It's because there are so many volcanoes in the Philippines. When all those magma or lava is cooled down,or dried up,they form "Igneous rocks".

Igneous rocks are common in the Philippines due to the country's location along the Ring of Fire, a region with intense volcanic and tectonic activity. The Philippines is situated on the boundaries of several tectonic plates, leading to frequent volcanic eruptions and the formation of igneous rocks. Additionally, the country has many active and dormant volcanoes, further contributing to the abundance of igneous rocks.
