I did not mean that you should replace splitter with Osmosis in your 
workflow. I meant that you should check if Osmosis can read the file.

For example, I sometimes use Osmosis to fix errors in coastline data:

osmosis --rb finland.osm.pbf --tf reject-relations --tf accept-ways 
natural=coastline --used-node --wx coastline.osm
josm coastline.osm

Can you do the same with philippines.osm.pbf? Does the resulting OSM 
file make sense? If it does, then it ought to be a bug in splitter or in 
the version of the PBF library that it is using.
