TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a Thai DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from the Philippines, you do need to have $15,000 USD in your bank account. This amount can be held in a Filipino bank account, but it must be a legitimate account in your name and not a service like GCash. It is advisable to consult the Thai embassy for detailed instructions related to the application process.
