Hi, what specific link I can download the earthquake points in the Philippines?

In the USGS website. They have a web app where you can select an area in the Philippines. I tried selecting the whole Philippine area before (broadly) using their site, but they also have a limit in terms of maximum data points per download.

@nicoleardil aside from worldclim.org you can also request from PAGASA for data through their synoptic weather stations scattered throughout PH.
