TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a Thai Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from the Philippines, you do need to show proof of funds, specifically a bank balance of at least $15,000. This amount can be in any actual bank account that is in your name, meaning it can be from a Filipino bank, but it cannot be from services like GCash. It is also recommended to check the official Thai embassy website for the most current requirements.

Yes, any actual bank account that is in your name. So not gcash or similar services.
