This is another great news for Bitcoin. I am happy that a developing country such as the Philippines has found a way to introduce Bitcoin to its citizens. While other much more advanced countries have yet to really take a look at what Bitcoin has to offer, here is a much smaller country already appreciating it. I guess the Philippines has learned a lot from other advanced countries such as the neighboring Japan in admitting Bitcoin to its territory. I hope more and more countries, whether developing or already developed, would also do the same introduction of Bitcoin to their people and have them choose their best option.

It's interesting to see that countries like the Phillipines are accepting bitcoins where there are other countries that are trying to shut it down. Maybe some countries can see value in crypto where others cannot see any value. It makes you wonder the type of people in different countries governments and what they are trying to do.

ITs always good to see for us cryptocurrency investors to see that gouverments and countrys accept bitcoins. This will help us a lot to be accepted by people who do not use it at the moment. And it will help to bring more people to start to interesst for cryptocurrencies. I hope in future i will read more news like these from other countys. But if im honest, there will be more news from gouverments who will do the opposit, which menas their will be ban cryptocurrencies.

I can say it's good news, it's always nice to hear that some country has officea positive approach to Bitcoin.
However, I don't think this will influence Bitcoin significantly because Philippines is not that influencal country that would be an example for other countries. But it's good for Bitcoin users there, it will be much easier for them and I'm sure Bitcoin related businesses will also expand.

as far as I know, the central bank explained that bitcoin will still not be considered a legitimate currency, since it has not been issued by the central bank. nevertheless, taking into account the benefits of Bitcoin as payment and transfer of network funds, the Bank of the Philippines intends to regulate the crypto currency and related startups.

This will be very beneficial to all specially to neighboring countries and hoping this will be a major step forward for other country to start and accept bitcoin.

The Philippine government has not ban nor accepted bitcoin but it has warned it's citizen to be careful because investing in bitcoin is very risky. Though it's Central Bank has acknowledge bitcoin but that i did not know of any ICO that comes from the Philippines.

I'm sure users will be happy to pay taxes if bitcoin is legalized, many countries are afraid to legalize bitcoin for taxes and anonymous reasons, so with that fact the state should immediately make a regulation about bitcoin so that the state gets the benefits and income from bitcoin.

[Zachwolf]

Bitcoin have been accepted in the Philippines by the Philippines' people a long time ago, but your post is about the government accepting the fact that BTC existed and they are trying to legalize it right?

However there are some place in the Philippines had already used bitcoin as there payments but definitely through online transaction. Even some of them not already know it, it's existing now.
