These do appear to be similar to Philodendron but they are Monstera! They have slightly different care than the Philodendron.
This appears to be a fungal infection. Perhaps it takes too long to dry out between watering?
You will need to apply a fungicide, and make sure that there is plenty of ventilation to help it dry between waterings, as fast as possible.
