If Lutzow get Manny Pacquiao to endorse, I'm sure the project will get a lot of traction  Grin Grin
Good luck, you're not likely to get any politician to openly or publicly endorse any coin. There once was a move about a year or two ago ... not much happened except there was a bill. Let me look for it, maybe you can try contacting that particular representative (congress I think.)

Representative Kimi Cojuangco, a member of the Filipino House of Representatives, is pushing for an “e-Peso,” the Phil Star reports. House Bill 4914 would create the “e-Peso” as an online medium of exchange for Filipinos. The proposed bill would have the Filipino Central Bank research Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and decide what the best course of action would be. The e-Peso would be officially granted electronic legal tender status, according to Cojuangco: What exists is a patchwork of methods using traditional credit systems, which act in place of money on the Internet. The E-peso is the electronic equivalent to the paper peso.

This was in 2014.
