You don’t have a US issued credit card, so how do you pay for stuff? For that you may purchase iTunes Gift cards (be sure they are for the US store) get em from PCGAMESUPPLY or DataBlitz. That’s it.
The 1st thing to download in the US iTunes store: Google Maps, the 2nd is Scribblenauts Remix.
HTH.

Update: 10-Jan-2014

I have been having issues with PCGAMESUPPLY my orders via CC or PayPal were being automatically cancelled by their system, so I decided to look for another online shop to get iTunes Gift Cards.

Bought a 50$ gift card from TunesCodes.com

  1. But Bean, this would mean that I can't use my local Credit Card for purchases? That means that each time I want to buy an app, I should have a gift card on hand?

    1. You will not be able to use your Philippine credit card. If you load 10 or 15USD it should be sufficient for those emergency purchases. Just reload when needed.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509
