Taxis: You should round up the total fare. A 20 PHP tip would be considered very good.

Restaurants: In a restaurant that is catered to westerners you will be expected to tip. If the service isn’t already included (indicated by SC) then you should leave 10%. In other restaurants then you can leave the change or round up.
Bars: In a bar that is catered to westerners you will be expected to tip. If the service isn’t already included (indicated by SC) then you should leave 10%. In other bars then you can leave the change or round up.
Other: Tipping is becoming more common in the Philippines so you should be expected to tip a bit. Having said that a tip of 20-50 PHP is a very good amount for small services. This is still less then $1 USD but it does go along way for the natives.
