The Philippines faces significant forest cover loss due to logging, agricultural expansion, and policy challenges. International forestry aid has supported national and local initiatives to address these issues. This study aims to analyse the architecture of international forestry aid in the Philippines. It analysed data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Creditor Reporting System, employing quantitative content analysis to examine international forestry aid in the Philippines, with three dimensions; actors, finance and agendas. Key findings revealed three insights: (1) Long-term donors like Japan, the Asian Development Bank, Germany, and the Republic of Korea focus on large-scale forestry projects, whereas emerging donors, such as the Global Environment Facility, provide grants for immediate environmental needs; (2) Financing mechanisms rely on concessional loans and other official flows, reflecting the country's economic capacity, and; (3) Prior agendas have shifted from energy to broader environmental objectives in line with global environmental governance. The study contributes to understanding the structure and patterns of forestry aid distribution, including donor-recipient relationship with financial flow and target agenda in the case of the Philippines
