The Philippines has some special laws on the books to make the country more friendly to outsourced jobs like telemarketing and support. I know there are specifics for foreign PII protection for example, you might want to see if anything exists for IP as well.

Keep in mind that like many things in the Philippines, enforcement isn't very consistent and probably seriousness varies greatly by the region.

I came across a PH goverment website leaking copious amounts of PII and couldn't manage to get anyone at the National Privacy Commission to take it seriously. I lived there for about 3 years.
