Fellow PinoyTechBlogger J. Angelo Racoma made a powerful suggestion in this one blog post. He suggests that we lobby, probably in the executive or legislative branch of the government, a help for the Philippines to become a Paypal-accredited country. He mentioned about the online professionals benefiting for this, thus decreasing unemployment and improving the economy. I also personally see the remittance business booming if this happens.

If there’s one thing that an online community like us can actually do something tangible and worthy, this is it, IMO — lobbying for Paypal accreditation. If some people in high places will really work behind the scene, there is a greater chance of us being seen as a potentially great Paypal nation. I can even go further and suggest that we formalize a petition that may catch the atttention of more congressmen and senators.

What say you?

    The real reason why we are not a paypal accredited country is that We are a High Risk Fraud Country. I am not proud of that tag but let’s not kid ourselves, It’s true.

    We have that status because of the CC fraud that some of our countrymen did before and still doing it now. I remember that we were banned from almost big e-commerce websites. even payment processors refused to do businesses with anyone who have a philippine ip address.

    But there is no harm of forcing ebay (the parent company of paypal) to have us accredited. sana lang wag maabuso kasi abusado tayo.
