The Philippines (Filipino: Baboy Ramo or Baboy Damo) has four endemic species of wild pigs. This makes the Philippines unique in having arguably the largest number of endemic wild pigs (Genus Sus). Two separate populations of unstudied wild pig species have been reported on the islands of Tawi-Tawi (near Sabah, Malaysia), and Tablas (in the central Philippines).
Unlike its Southeast Asian neighbors, the Philippines does not have a native population (or endemic subspecies) of the widely distributed Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa).
Hybridization with domestic pigs Sus domesticus are becoming rampant.

The Philippines is also home to the Bornean bearded pig, which can be found at the Tawi-Tawi province at the tip of the Sulu Archipelago. The species is widely ranging in Borneo.
