Im Filipino also. But what i see in our country, only few people here in our country knows and appreciate bitcoin and only few companies or markets are accepting bitcoin. So this is a good news for all of us who use bitcoin. Hope this will intensifies the progress of bitcoin in our country so we all could benefit from it.
Most of the countries has same situation where bitcoins are not known widely among all the people on the country. News like Philippines recognizes bitcoins should be spread widely across the globe so that other countries also takes such steps and also new people start using bitcoins.
