"If we're thinking about the Philippines from a tech perspective, I think a lot of interesthas been drawn for investors or founders because one it's, as you mentioned, almost everyone,probably everyone can speak English. So very relatable in that sense, a market that is rife for withoutlanguage barriers. Second is also very, very, very social media savvy. I think there's a big, a huge statabout how many users there are in the Philippines in particular for Facebook or Instagram or all these social media platforms and how many people are using it daily. So lots of usage coming from the Philippines and also possibly partly why Kumu is seeing such success because effectively is the social media app for the Philippine diaspora." - Mika Reyes
