A rocket attack from across the border eh?
I'll reply for two:
Philippines:
Scenario would be slightly modified as we're an archipelago. Rockets will have to fired from offshore from a marine vessel. The nearest neighbors are Malaysia, Taiwan, China (from Spratlys) plus Indonesia and Vietnam (farther away).
Reaction? Diplomatic protest and our government will run to the US and beg for protection. We have no air forces available to make a retaliatory strike, and no naval forces to successfully insert commandos.
China:
Multiple possible fronts. Neighbors with land borders include Russia, Mongolia, North Korea, Afghanistan (tiny stretch), Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. Offshore attacks could come from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Reaction? Government will ascertain first whether the attack was carried out by isolated elements or is an official act of war.
If it's the former then commando operations with the cooperation of the host country would most likely be the maximum reaction as the government would not want to escalate things. If the country of origin is a 'biggie' like Russia or Japan then any armed intervention will not happen at all. Merely diplomatic demands that the host 'take care' of the problem.
If it is indeed an official act of war, then..... may God have mercy on our souls...
