I suppose it would depend on your purpose for travel. Your best bet is to visit the US Embassy pages for whatever countries you are considering and research what their requirements are.

Where are you in the immigration process? Your timeline hasn't been filled in. In fact, your country is listed as Armenia.

I presume you are the beneficiary. If you have a green card or AP then you can travel outside the US. There will be two sets of requirements.

First, you will be visiting the foreign country as a national of your native country, which I presume is the Philippines - NOT as a US national. Some countries will allow visitors from the Philippines without a visa, but would require a visa from a US citizen. Other countries are the opposite - a US citizen can visit without a visa, but a Filipino requires a visa. Some countries may accommodate an LPR similar to a US citizen, with limitations. Still others will require a visa from either a US citizen or a Filipino. You need to contact the consulate of the country you want to visit to determine if you'll need a visa.

Second, there is a limit to how long you can remain outside the US without running into immigration problems in the US. If you have AP then you must return before your green card interview. If you miss the interview then your green card application will be considered abandoned, and your AP will not get you back into the US. If you have a green card then you can stay outside the US for up to six months without problems. Beyond six months the CBP may screen you to determine if you've established residency in another country. Beyond one year the CBP will presume you've abandoned your residency unless you applied for a reentry permit before you left, or you obtain a returning resident visa at a US consulate abroad. Beyond two years you will lose your green card.
