  I moved everything from BPI to NAB via wire transfer.

  You can pick any of the big 4, I like NAB because they have zero fees and zero maintaining requirements

  Then ask your PH bank to wire transfer everything, this is the BPI form I used:

  You need to know when and where you'll arrive, as wandererPH said you need to pick a branch and physically get your debit card.
