Foreign Policy Implementation On Philippines

For example:

Company A (a Canadian company branched here in the Philippines) will implement Canadian law over their employees such as Holidays, work ethics, compensation and benefits, etc.

If so, do the employees should be compensated based also in the Canadian rates? Or they can still implement the basic salary based on Philippine Law?

Thank you in advance.

As long as their rates, etc are above the minimum indicated in PH laws then that is fine.

What if they implement their country's law over the PH but insists to apply the PH salary rate:

1.) Would it be considered as a valid cause for legal charges?
2.) If the contract signed does not explicitly states that they will overrule the PH law but implements still, is this a ground to break the bond (example 1-year work bond where I am not allowed to leave the company within the timeframe)?
