Visa requirement, anyone can help?

My boyfriend and I are planning to meet up in Beijing on January 2014. I'm a Filipino and he's a Filipino but he holds a permanent residence in Canada so he'll be flying to Beijing from Canada and I'll be flying from the Philippines. I'm just a bit confused on the "If someone else travelling with you shares the same passport with you" part of the Supplementary Visa Application Form. Would that be applicable for us? Please advise.
