I am planning to do a temporal analysis of forest cover loss on one of the highly urbanized places in the Philippines as a part of my research study. I will be studying the trend from 2010 to 2020 so software with yearly data is preferred. So far, I have seen NASA's Landsat and Google's Global Forest Watch. Any suggestions of publicly available and detailed software are greatly appreciated.

Yes, Landsat or Google GFW, which is near real-time, are the main ones :)
Thank you for the advice, Cyril Lundrigan! I will explore Planet as well.
Hi!
You might also want to try the Google Earth Engine (https://developers.google.com/earth-engine).
See for yourself if it is a viable option!
