...with a genuine desire for "software freedom"!
There is strong anti-american/anti-us themes in the philipines.
This "move to linux" is fueled largely in part by the desire to "stick it to billg/microsoft", aka "stick it to those f*cking american imperialists".
there is no doubt if there were a local philipines alternative software platform, even if it cost more money, they would choose that instead over microsoft and linux.
do not confuse this...
