No.

Direct democracy does not "scale" - that is, it requires the citizens themselves to directly vote on all issues before the government. As such, it cannot work efficiently for places with more than a few thousand citizens, at the very most.

The Philippines, like all other modern governments, uses elected representatives to avoid this problem. The Philippines itself is considered a representative democratic republic, specifically a "unitary presidential representative republic", in political science parlance.

The Philippines is a democratic nation. All power rests in the voting hands of its citizens. The citizens, as in most democratic countries, elect officials based on their political positions and promises to carry out once elected.
