in my country there is also a digital wallet, the name is DANA. but I only saw it on a TV ad, and I haven't tried the wallet.
it seems, the wallet can also be used to pay for electricity, water, and others.
slowly digital development will force the public to accept this transaction service.

But I wouldn't use Bitcoin to pay for anything that fiat can pay with unless it's very necessary, if I were you. Bitcoin is a provably scarce resource, don't waste it. HODL. 
I think paying for bills with bitcoin and saving excess bitcoin are positive for the ecosystem and for the value of the cryptocurrency. This is especially true in developing countries with a history of currency instability. Thus, saving and spending bitcoin should not be seen as mutually exclusive.

what is happening in Philippines currently is something i will love to see happen in all other countries. Government of different countries should accept and adopt the use of cryptocurrency and bitcoin for use same way the Philippines are doing currently. I hope this will be possible in no distant time

I know Bitcoin is much popular in philippine.And this is a great news for Philippine people who use bitcoin.It's actually easy to pay bills online with bitcoin rather than card.Now bitcoin will get lots of new user and it will be an advantage for bitcoin user.

Here in the Philippines we could use our local wallet called coins.ph to buy load pay for our electric,water and credit card bills and even book for travel.
I'm living here in the Philippines and yes I'm using Cryptocurrency I've got from bounty hunting to pay for my bills like the internet water and electricity, this is the reason I got involved very much in Cryptocurrency because of Coins.ph in the past I have to find reputable people to exchange my coin to fiat money, now it's much easier.
March 07, 2019, 06:50:12 AM
That is a good idea, I don't know if Coins.ph have that in their pipeline.
They did have a debit card but they eventually removed it for good I don't know the reason why though maybe that was the time when their exchange's aren't regulated.I liked the idea of this bitcoin wallet it can pay a lot of merchants it is very convenient but I think they don't have a rival in the country right now that's why their rate is too low from the current price which is not good. And with this wallet you dont have access to your private keys.
They do have a rival in the country the first two exchanges in the Philippines that are regulated was coins and rebit.

Why I'm using my bitcoins to pay? Because I believed that they should be treated as currency, simply as that.
No, I don't feel that way, as I have said, you can treat them as currency so that's what I'm doing. Of course I still have bitcoin as a investment, but If I feel I need to use them as often as I want then I go for it. We have different opinions here, maybe you wanted to hold your bitcoin, but there are people here who are willing to used it, even in gambling bitcoin is regularly use so it doesn't make any sense. It's people's preference, I'd say.
Just checked with the biller and their is no option of bitcoin payment or any other crypto currency. Even on their site their is no detail about paying bills or any option with crypto currency. Even the proof is not giving details about paid through crypto currency. Please correct me if i am wrong as i am not able to find any details of payment through crypto currency or bitcoins.
Lol, of course coins.ph will exchange your bitcoin to fiat then paid those companies. Coins.ph is a crypto exchange wallet, local to the Philippines. You can refer everything here, if you still have doubts about the proofs I have posted.

Coins.ph is licensed and regulated by the Philippine Central Bank.

Also, Philippine Central Bank has a circular on virtual currencies (circular 944).

It would be AWESOME for Coins.ph to release their own crypto debit card to match their mobile wallet.

Coins.ph is also been good to me, specially sending remittances outside of Metro Manila. My kids is studying somewhere in province and I can just used their services to send money to her if needed and paid some bills too.

Well, thanks to coins.ph who makes it much more convinient to us Filipinos to freely use our Bitcoins. But, I agree to what @windfury said. Yes, it is considered as advantage for the Filipinos especially that slowly Bitcoin is beggining to be considered by a number businesses, though, as of the moment (as I see), I'd rather keep it for a while then. Though, there's disadvantage as well, before you could use Bitcoin via Coins.ph, a user must need to top up still, which is kinda hassle. In which the time spent on topping up and converting Php to BTC a user could immediately drop by to a nearby Bayad center (Local company) that cater the service using fiat.

I disagree, we have shifted from the main reason bitcoin was created to an asset used for just making money (that wasn't Satoshi intention for Bitcoin). I prefer using my bitcoin to buy anything the moment I get the chance to do so. It give me satisfaction then using fait. I own two set of bitcoin, one intended for my everyday activity and the other stored offline.

I think in most of the countries similar wallets are been started by a number of blockchain start-ups which do support paying various bills with one click with our cryptocurrencies.I have went through some of these wallets and it really feels good to see cryptocurrencies spread vastly with much modern technologies. It would be more great if ever bitcoins could also be started accepting as a legal mean of payment on various local shops too.

Never heard for travel stuffs, but I might not be checking the app thoroughly since I usually use it for buying credits for my mobile phone in case of emergency that I can't pay anything right now while I am inside of a wifi hotspot. It proved me a lot of convenience and a lot of options on what can I do with my Bitcoin. I might use it for donations soon enough since I can't usually locate the donation sites here in my area.

what a great service that is, every country should have their own like itits big thing to be able to use bitcoins in any area of life easily
Well i think those simple functions can be done with crypto pretty much in most countries. Though of course it's still converted to the local currency probably by the btc wallet you're using. There are fewer companies who accept bitcoin as it is.
