We may not have the fastest internet connection, but at least the Philippines is one of the least restricted internet in the world.
PH is in 9th place on the top 10 list of countries with the least internet restrictions with a score of 5.13/10. The Philippines got a 65/100 score in terms of internet freedom and 5/11 censorship score.

These figures came from the study conducted by Proxyrack, which analyzed internet censorship, freedom, the number of users online per 100,000 people, and social media restriction to see which countries have the least and most internet restrictions.
The United Kingdom is apparently the least restricted country in the world with a score of only 0.26/10. It scored marginally better than Germany, the second placer, which scored 0.40.
