Ok. Now we know it is a 2 needle pine. That narrows it down to about 1/2 the species.

I have found a tropical species - Pinus merkusii - Sumatran pine which is native to Indonesia and Phillipines. It is a 2 needle species and the description of cones seems to match those ones in your picture. I don't know anything about tropical pine species but maybe that's what you have?

Here an update on the pine, took the inline rubber of a car tire to protect the bark then wired and bend it.
I gonna leave the tree for a while till I start twisting it and put it into final position, when that is done I will cut branches and positioning the remaining.
