Very often when we think of the Philippines, sandy beaches and azure waters are the things that come to mind. In recent years, however, the country had veered away from that tropical image and turned itself into one of the fastest growing economies in the world, next to China.
In just a few years, the Philippines has gained a reputation as a hotbed for tech startups and, 2015’s Geeks on the Beach Conference revealed, the country is aiming to become the home of at least 500 startups with total funding of US$200 million and valuation of US$ 2billion by 2020.
