Not sure how to read this one. Presumably it means there are more people going into the Philippines from overseas than leaving?
It's an interesting one that.
I read it as being the opposite. Meaning more people leaving the Philippines than entering as immigrants. But, I'm not 100% on that.

The UK data from the same source is:-

Net migration rate:
2.59 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)


Which I guess is 2.59 more per 1,000 entering as immigrants than leaving.
