Please remember steem is still very young and we are in a phase where a smaller group of whales are essentially behind the scenes helping pay for basic tools essential for its growth. Please consider joining the beyond bitcoin hangouts to get some coverage in the days when we are waiting for these tools to be built and maybe talk to the community about how we can help until then? But steem is yet a baby...so we cant expect alot from it yet.
But I have a wife from the philippines so i am very glad to see you thinking about this. Remember, though...if there is a will, there is a way ;)
