Turrid?
Sorry about the bad picture - all I have at the moment. 

I think this must be a turrid with the prominent anal notch, but I can find it...    It's about 47mm, and pretty definitely from the Philippines.   

Any help appreciated - please excuse me if it's a dumb question...

It looks like an Inquisitor, but I can't name the species.  There are soooooooooo many of them!  Guido Poppe has a couple of similar ones in his online shell encyclopedia, unfortunately also unidentified:

Re: Turrid?
Thanks - The second one from conchology.be  looks like the one.    I checked  gastropods.com (my favorite) thoroughly but couldn't find it, so I guess I'm at least glad it wasn't something obvious...
