We could certainly use some community assistance in keeping btcmap up to date in the Philippines! If anyone lives near a bitcoin-accepting merchant please pay them a visit to support them. We'd love to see pics and videos! Tag us and include your lightning address and we'll send you sats as a thank you!

If they still accept bitcoin, you can tap "verify" on btcmap. If they don't accept, you can remove the business or contact btcmap to remove it. https://btcmap.org/map #6/12.97244/124.16748

The Pouch app's first main use case was processing payments on bitcoin island, Boracay. Then, it naturally became a tool for borderless payments and stacking sats. As previously announced via email, our app is rebranding to https://isle.ph, as a nod to where it all started with the bitcoin island project! This rebrand effort will take some time to fully transition over, but please note that our social media accounts will be updated soon to reflect the change.
