The Philippines is not a member of NATO because it is not a European country, and NATO is primarily a transatlantic military alliance established for mutual defense among its member states in North America and Europe. Additionally, the Philippines has its own defense agreements, such as the Mutual Defense Treaty with the United States, which align more closely with its regional security needs. The geopolitical focus of NATO does not extend to Southeast Asia, where the Philippines is located.
