You would use the HomeKit app on your iPhone, along with Siri, to control your Philips Hue-controlled system.
2. Do I need to connect the Phillips HUB to the AirPort extreme OR to Myanmar Modem ?
The Philips Hue hub needs to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Your iPhone would need to connect to the same network to be able to access the hub. Depending on: 1) Is the Myanmar modem just a simple modem or is is a combination modem and wireless router? and 2) How you have the AirPort Extreme configured to work with this "modem" will dictate which of these devices that you would connect the Philips HUB to.

I just connected mine to a Ethernet port in my airport extreme
one likely need the Hue app to initial set it up
If the AirPort Extreme is providing your home Wi-Fi, then you will want to connect the hub to it.
Thank you.
The Airport is connected to the modem ,
The modem is a modem-router BUT configured only as a modem ( Bridge).
So the AirPort Extreme is making the home WiFi.
Thank you
Thank you
