Most countries follow the same pattern: They decide what is illegal, or a crime. And they decide which crimes they prosecute. For example, the USA decided that murder is a crime, but only murders in the USA are prosecuted by the USA. (However, if you commit murder in country X, there is a good chance that the USA will extradite you to X).
So your question is a bit too general. For many crimes, if the Philippines police finds out about your crime, they might inform the country where it was committed, and extradite you when asked. There may be other crimes where you will be prosecuted in the Philippines. And of course the Philippines might decide that they don’t want criminals in their lovely islands, so they could not let you in, or remove you from the Philippines because they found out you’re a criminal.
