The Philippines is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents).

This two or three step process is necessary in order for the country of the Philippines to accept your documents.
Here is an illustration to help explain the three process better:
