Species of the genus Schefflera in Araliaceae family has palmately-compound leaves. Here the leaves are simple. Hence I don’t think this would be a species of Schefflera.
Leaves seems simple and opposite too, very close to Lamiaceae member, might be Premna or Others,
To me it looks a species of Premna, for opposite leaves, inflorescence and the calyx tube
Premna panduana
