Entry and Immigration Requirements: how it works in Philippines — first-hand

Short answer
All travelers must complete the mandatory eTravel registration at etravel.gov.ph within 72 hours of arrival, ideally using the native site to avoid technical errors. Be prepared to show your QR code and proof of onward or return travel to immigration officers upon arrival.

From real experience

Travelers entering the Philippines must complete the eTravel registration within 72 hours prior to arrival.
Accessing the official website from certain regions may require a VPN. If the QR code is not presented at border control, officials will direct the traveler to a designated area in the airport to complete the registration online before proceeding through passport control.
