Growth of the MR market in the Philippines is three times higher than the average for the region - second only to China’s 20% growth. 
 
The country’s MR spend per capita is currently a tiny $0.40 - around 4% of spend in Singapore and Hong Kong, and 1% of the world’s highest per capita spend in the UK. 
 
MR spend as a proportion of ad spend is just 1.6% - one of the lowest figures for Asia - and far lower than the 5 to 10% spend that is common in most rich industrialised countries.
