You can read Noli me Tangere in its new English version. There is also El Filibusterismo. Both written by Jose Rizal.

Well, it depends on what exactly you mean by Philippine literature. Since there are many languages (both official and local) in use in the Philippines, literature is written in most of these languages. There is also the presence of "oral literature," which are usually epics passed on from generation to generation; nowadays these can only be found in very remote areas.
The most "mainstream"--or at least easily accessible--in local bookstores are works written in English and Filipino/Tagalog. You can find a whole variety of genres--novels, short stories, poetry, and plays.
If you're not familiar with the local languages, Philippine literature written in English is a good place to start. There is actually an anthology published by the University of the Philippines called "The Likhaan Book of Poetry and Fiction" which gives examples of Philippine literature throughout the years. I think you can order from amazon.com or directly from the university.
