@Dearborn Philippines coins issued during the American administration have a really beautiful design.

I just realized that your 10 centavos coin is dated 1945. The Americans fought hard that year to retake the islands from the Japanese, who finally surrendered in August, 1945. So your coin may have come along with General MacArthur's troops for use in the newly liberated areas.
