× Philippines don't really have much public libraries

✓ The Philippines don't really have many public libraries

The word 'libraries' is plural, so the quantifier should be 'many' instead of 'much' which is used for uncountable nouns. Also, 'The Philippines' is a plural noun and requires 'don't'.

× there's not much variety of books

✓ there's not much variety of books

The phrase 'variety of books' is correct as 'variety' is an uncountable noun here, so 'much' is appropriate. No correction needed.

✓ libraries are really popular

No error here; 'libraries' is plural and correctly used with 'are'. No correction needed.

The question is about usual activity, so present tense 'spend' is appropriate instead of past tense 'spent'.

✓ When I need to study for a particular exam or a test

The correct preposition to use with 'study' in this context is 'for', not 'on'.

The phrase 'going up' is unclear and likely incorrect here; 'going there' fits better to indicate going to the library. Also, 'remember' is present tense, so the phrase is acceptable.

The phrase 'studied high school' is incorrect; the correct form is 'studied in high school'.
