Marketing is quite different from reality. Reality to support different bands, each band needs an antenna, you only have so much space on the phone.
Also just saying it is a global phone, but geographically it might be limited to certain providers for various reasons. Great example is China unicom or TMobile US before the AWS versions.
Having said that, I think a iPhone 5 should be fine as long as it has been unlocked by Rogers. It looks like Philippines and Japan both use the 2100mhz band.
