Using your 'foreign' cellphone in the Philippines can incur huge roaming charges. Sending an SMS text message can cost one or two dollars each. Making local calls will be about $2 per minute.
If you have an unlocked cellphone, you can simply buy a local SIM card to make it local.
Alternately, for about 2000 peso (~$45), you can purchase a local cellphone (Nokia 1110i unlocked, including SIM card and P300 prepay credit). Local SMS text messages are 1 peso each and calls are 7.5 peso per minute.

Evening soundtrack...
Our hotel suite is on the 4th floor overlooking a busy street. The windows are single pane and are more-or-less acoustically-transparent. The aural soundscape during the evening is reminiscent of The Battle of Britain in an Imax theatre, but with some added 'beep-beeps'.
