Unfortunately , in most countries it is not allowed to treat a dog with rabies, or bitten by a rabid dog. the bitten dog will have to go into quarantine and if it develops rabies, it will usually be euthanized. So I am afraid the only vet that can answer your question is a vet from the Philippines, as this is where you live and he would know the legal situation.
