I don't know what kind of spider it is. I haven't seen a spider with circle on its body.

Help me identify this spider if you have information about this. It’s quite big and has circle on its body. Ive made a research but found nothing. Thanks
Hi. your little friend is a giant crab spider,AKA huntsman spider,family Sparassidae.
Looks a bit like female Heteropoda venatoria, but not seeing the white mustache.
That is an egg sac she is holding under her.
Very harmless spiders, one of my favorites, no need to kill them,they are good guys.
Might be awful fast trying to catch her, she would be happier outside on a tree or wall.
Species is uncertain, but something like this, rather common in Philippines:
