Yes, it certainly is a  Pinanga dicksonii.

Here is one of my P. dicksonii I bought while working on an out of town project in the Philippines. The front area of my hotel room was surrounded by palms I bought in the local area and germination community pots.

It's a nice looking palm if well watered, although I tend to lop off the dying  fronds a bit earlier than recommended but what the heck, I'm in the tropics and that sort of thing seems to be a lot more forgiving in this neck of the woods. I removed a D. lutescens at my house and replaced it with 3 x P. dicksonii and it looks pretty good. 

BTW I share the surname and initials with James (Jacobus) J. Dickson (1738–1822) who was a Scottish nurseryman, plant collector, botanist and mycologist and who Pinanga dicksonii was named after......so I had to get a couple of these for the garden.
