Hello,
Yes I believe they are.
But be careful, some plants with edible fruits (like potatoes can have toxicity in their leaves. The best is to check with people from the Philippines. I believe they have recipes there that include the use of Bell Pepper leaves (something called "Tinola"). So maybe only certain species of pepper plants will do.
Here is also a forum thread that discuses just that question with a few people mentioning that they have been eating bell pepper leaves:

On some websites you will find mention of bell pepper leaves being eaten in Southeast Asia.
