Yes, tick common-law.
If you state you are single when you are actually common-law, you will not be able to sponsor your partner in the future, because CIC will say you lied on the application.
You can sponsor him as a common-law partner even if he is still married. CIC knows there is no divorce in the Philippines, and the Manila visa office is used to dealing with situations like this.
