Its better you dont apply, I see red flag all over.
You are unemployed, so you dont have any source of income
You dont have any funds in your bank account to support yourself or plane ticket
You dont have any ties to your home country
How can a visa officer be convinced that you are going to Canada for purpose of visit?

This is what you need to do realistically, get a job have some stable income, show funds in your bank and you can support yourself. Show ties to your country, property, bank balance, full time job etc

You have to show enough "ties" - a good job from a reputable company, family, bank account, business/properties in your name, good travel history from countries that require visa to enter. There are no fool proof formula and you can only hope and pray it gets approved. From the Philippines, show at least the equivalent of 10K CAD and it should be an account that has been opened long enough to show you were able to save as much, not something that was opened one or two months before you send in your application.
