Can someone please identify these three ants I've captured.

1st Picture:
Loc: Taguig City, Philippines
Time: 10:00 PM, June 16, 2018
Found it near a fluorescent lamp.

2nd and 3rd Picture:
Loc:Taguig City, Philippines
Time: 11:00 PM, June 14 , 2018
Found near a fluorescent lamp.

I wasn't able to measure their sizes but I think they're just a few millimeters of around 2-5.
