Explain why? I know we needed the Philippines in WWII for an air base to attack Japan but that isn't really relevant anymore. If this guy and China decide to duke it out, why exactly do we have to go help?
It would violate UN rules I'm sure which we are obligated to protect. This would be seen as imperialism by force.
Also, the Philippines are full of natural resources and are located in a very strategically advantageous place for naval and air bases. That is absolutely still relevant.

The Philippines produced 11 percent of the world's nickel in 2010. The country's rich natural resources also include major copper deposits, chromium, gold, and silver; minerals made up 8 percent of merchandise exports in 2011.
They're also one of our oldest and staunchest allies. Maybe a minor detail, but all of our other allies will be watching.
In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather us fight a million times over for the Philippines than for some Syrian militia.
