Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a per diem set for private sectors. For example when an employee of a company in the Philippines was sent to Belgium, UK, or the USA to name a few - these employees should be getting an allowance/per diem from their company in the Philippines. 
How much each employee should get then? What is the standard rate that private sectors should be following?

I know other countries have a set of per diem that is implemented when their citizen travels abroad.
