I only noticed this a couple of days ago when a good friend of mine was visiting me here. He was chatting with his mom who’s in Canada over YM. While talking about the possibility of opening a Paypal account for her from Canada, he fired up a browser and was going to guide his mom thru the sign-up process.
Alas, the Paypal website does not load up. I did a ping and traceroute but got nothing still. Paypal is up, that I am sure of but it seems they’ve blocked access from IPs originating in the Philippines, or maybe those under the PLDT network at the very least.
Could you try it from your end and leave me a feedback?

I’m an American married to a Filipina and I spend much of my time over here. I’ve been using paypal for my business for over 7 years now with no problems. Now you might say that doesn’t apply to the Philippines, but as of this last year in 2008 my wife now has a “Verified” account using Union Bank in Cebu and we have had absolutely no problems.
You can read all about the horror stories but my personal opinion is that most people that try to manipulate the system usually get caught and then they scream bloody murder that it’s not their fault and it’s PayPal’s.
So it is what it is.. but typically don’t blame Paypal… Look at the type of transactions you are conducting, read there terms and conditions so you stay OUT OF TROUBLE… and don’t play games using their system. They’re fairly smart about all the ways to try to cheat… so good luck and don’t blame Paypal..

Hi guys,
Here’s an article, about PayPal in the Philippines. Please do read this stuff. It’s a start, but not very good and useful enough.
