Hi Bill,
Here's a shot of Plocamopherus maculatus taken in Anilao, Luzon Island, Philippines in April, 2002. Apparently, its range also includes the Philippines.
Locality: Anilao, Luzon Island, Philippines. Depth: 30 ft. Length: 3 cm. April, 2002. Photographer: Jeff Rosenfeld
Thanks,
Jeff

Rosenfeld, Jeff, 2005 (Sep 12) Plocamopherus maculatus from Philippines. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/14688Dear Jeff,
From the yellow spots around the edge of the foot, and general shape, I suspect this is a pale form of Plocamopherus ceylonicus. It also has 3 pairs of lateral papillae while P. maculatus seems to have only two.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
