Miranda Warnings (and laws) are named for the US Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, (1966) that mandated individuals in police custody must be informed of their constitutional rights before interrogation.

Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote:

"In the absence of other effective measures, the following procedures to safeguard the Fifth Amendment privilege must be observed: the person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, a lawyer will be appointed to represent him."

Are Miranda rights applicable in Philippines?

No, Miranda rights are specific to the United States only. Even if you have similar rights in another country, it is incorrect to call them "Miranda rights." The name "Miranda rights" comes from the US Supreme Court case "Miranda v. Arizona" which established that a person being questioned by the police must be advised of his or her right to have an attorney present, and of certain other rights.
