Digital Habits and Channels in the Philippines
The Philippines is a mobile-first market where Facebook and Messenger dominate how people find and talk to businesses, with Viber also popular. SMS is still widely used, and since the SIM Registration Act of 2022 all SIM cards must be registered to their owners.
GCash and Maya e-wallets are used by tens of millions of people, and cash on delivery is common in e-commerce. The Christmas season starts in September and runs into January, and paydays on the 15th and 30th of each month noticeably lift spending.
The Philippines' economy is driven by business process outsourcing and call centres, which employ over a million people, remittances from overseas Filipino workers, and consumer spending. VAT is 12%. Filipinos are among the heaviest social media users in the world, and GCash and Maya e-wallets are widely used. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 requires consent for marketing, and the SIM Registration Act of 2022 requires every SIM to be registered.
