I'm from Philippines also. Yes its good news to us! Because many Filipino heard that news they might been interested to invest to bitcoin. So the price of bitcoin will pump to high. What if big investor can read that and invest big money the bitcoin price go to the moon. Thanks to bank central ng pilipinas for publishing like that news. Many people the job is bitcoin and many (ofw) overseas Filipino workers the sideline in bitcoin. I think it will not end this year bitcoin will become popular in my country.
I'm also from the Philippines and they started to broadcast about bitcoin were people earning money with it by just staying at home and using their computers. But in some news, sadly they say bitcoin is just a scam that you can't earn money from it. Time by time bitcoin is becoming more famous and used by many people just to earn bitcoins.
From what I watch they briefly explained how the HYIP programs are targeting Bitcoin in their platform. They chose Bitcoin as a mode of payment because it is more attractive to them and there is no jurisdiction over them as well it makes it hard to track a stolen Bitcoin. "Bitcoin is a Scam" is now being more use to often then the statement "Bitcoin is money for buying Drugs" as a lot of people are having the wrong thoughts on it because of the crimes involving with it and the media is not doing anything to clarify it.
