I've been hearing rumors that cryptocurrency has been banned in the Philippines. Could you clarify the situation for me? I'm quite interested in investing in crypto but I'm also cautious about potential legal issues. I've seen conflicting reports on this topic, so it would be helpful to get a professional opinion. Are there any specific regulations or restrictions in place that I should be aware of? I'd appreciate any information you can provide to help me navigate this uncertain territory.
