If you live abroad and UK police want to question me can thay bring me back to UK from Philippines?

I believe there is an extradition treaty between the UK and the Philippines (see related Link). However I am not sure if it is in force, it get this information you would need to speak to a Philippine legal expert on the matter. It looks likely that it will come into force (if it is not yet in force) and the UK police can then issue a warrant for your extradition back to the UK.

When can police bust into your house without a search warrant?

The home is the most protected place under the Fourth Amendment. The justification of the search of a home is examined very closely by courts.The police can search a private home when:the homeowner or other responsible person gives consent to do so,the police have obtained a search warrant based on probable cause, sworn before a judge, and describing specifically the premises to be searched and the evidence the police are seeking,an arrest is made within the home, providing that this search is limited to the immediate area occupied by the person arrested,exigent circumstances occur.A "responsible person" is one who normally has control of the premises and can grant permission for people to enter or require them to leave. A boarder who has the run of the house might be a "responsible person," but a young child probably would not be."Exigent circumstances" are unusual or emergency situations where the police must act in the interest of public safety or the preservation of life. For instance, if you were at the front door denying entry to a police officer, and a person called for help from within the house, the officer could enter to give aid. Once the person had been rescued or the emergency was otherwise over, the police could not search further. If the police had seen something during the entry that indicated further evidence of a crime is present, they can remain on the premises to preserve the evidence until,a search warrant is obtained, or a judge rejects the application for a warrant.
