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.
