Love the Philippines. This place is characterized by freedom and friendliness to everything new. This included Bitcoin. I think this is the right decision. With the help of Bitcoin, the Philippines will be able to move even further in terms of economy.
I live in the Philippines and I don't think it is helping that much.
I think it's been years since the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin was legalized in our country and still now small population in our country only uses it. I am not saying that they are literally using it but earning and investing it. We have a popular exchange called coins and the users thought they are using Bitcoin to pay their bills even though they are not really doing that. The exchange or coins is responsible for converting their Bitcoin in their wallets into fiat and that fiat is being paid in their wanted places or platforms like Steam or other financial bills.
