Unfortunately, there are many factors that may affect the tax costs of your package to the Philippines. I am also from the Philippines and frequently purchasing products at Amazon.com. These products are delivered via DHL. I have noticed the the factors that may affect the taxes and customs duties of your packages are the following.

The origin country of the package. In your case is China
Declared total value of the items in the package
Types of the items in the package (Usually, the tax for jewelry items are higher than other types of items)

Remember that the customs office may impose a shipment on hold status on your package. This is for the purpose of security and tax calculations. It would be better if you directly contact the customs office via phone, email or personal visit to their office. I have provided a link below to their contact information page. Here's the link:
