What you are citing is State Department's guidelines. You are not going to be dealing with the State Department (they grant visas), but USCIS which is under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

It is illegal to come into the USA with a tourist Visa and work with only a tourist visa. Do not do this!

You should ask the company to sponsor you for a work Visa. However this can be a long process.

USCIS is United States Citizen and Immigration Services

NO... Entering on a Tourist Visa with intention to work is Visa Fraud and is illegal. I believe your only option would be to stay in the Philippians until you can obtain a work Visa.
