Hello Divya,
Sorry, you are not eligible for pilot training as for being a pilot, one should be 12th grade pass with minimum 50% marks in Physics and maths as maths and physics are the most important.
AME is only useful for you as a extra education but for being a pilot you need 12th with physics maths.

If you did not have physics and mathematics in class 12th, you can pass these two subjects at class 12th level from National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) on-demand examinations and can start your pilot training course.

Hello Sang Singh Bhati,
To get admission in Philippines for CPL is very easy. You only have to get in touch with the flying club from where you want to do your training, rest of the work will be done by them.
But, if you really want to be a pilot, I would suggest you to do your training from India or from some other country like USA or Canada. Philippines is not up to the mark.
All the best.
