Legal Question in Employment Law in Philippines

Is an employment bond legal in the Philippines? Does it makes sense to charge the bond to the employee even if it was the company who terminated him (due to employee's failure to meet performance metrics) and the employee had no prior plan of leaving his work? The employee is still on probationary status (5 months). By the way I understand it, the employment bond should only apply when the employee decides to leave the company before a specified amount of time, not for being terminated.
