"Ll" starting words sometimes pronunced as "ya" and some times as "Ja" when it should be ya and when Ja. Is it depend upon the dialect?. Ex ella, Llave, Llamo

The pronunciation of "ll" is different depending on which country you are in.
I almost always say it as "y" but in "llave" I use an English "j" sound.

but in the Philippines (which has a huge Spanish influence esp. in language) some Spanish loanwords with "ll" is pronounced as "ly". And also in Philippine Spanish dialect.

I believe you are correct. It will depend on geographical location (as far as dialect).
