Really, all one can take it to mean is "I see you coming in the opposite direction". Who has (or who will assume) right-of-way is a whole other ballgame, and not just in the Philippines.
When I was driving I never took any notice of a vehicle flashing headlights, except to make sure I was withing the speed limit, as it could have so many different meanings, 'I'm coming through' 'come through', 'Speed cop ahead' but would definitely assume anything about letting you go first, as it always depends on where in the country you are.
