There are three types of payment methods for Filipino (and non-US) affiliates - either through USD checks, direct deposit, or an online payment system such as Paypal and Payoneer, depending on the affiliate program you signed up for.
An example of a program that pays through checks is Amazon. No, they DO NOT have the option to pay you via Paypal. But through Payoneer, you can receive your Amazon earnings faster through direct deposit.
An example of a program that pays Filipinos through direct deposit is Clickbank.
If you want to get paid via Paypal, you might want to look for another program such as those offered by Viglink, Zazzle, or an affiliate network with a similar payment method.

An affiliate program has a minimum payout amount before they can release your paychecks. For Amazon, it's $100.
It's also worth remembering that there is a security hold to give way for refunds or product returns. For Amazon, checks will be released after two months.
For instance, your December 2013 check -- assuming that it has reached $100 -- will be sent to you after two months. It will come to you via regular mail, so you'll have it at your doorstep by the second week of March 2014.
