In our country there is no act for FOSS but some policies are there.
This is the new initiative launched. Thanks

Hello Everyone,
For our continuous lobbying and constant advocating Free and Open
Source Software since 2006, we finally have
the first hearing in the Philippine congress for the passage of FOSS
BILL ACT 1011 on October 04, 2011.
For details about this bill here is the link
http://www.scribd.com/doc/34628484/HB-1011-Free-Open-Source-Software-FOSS-Act-of-2010.
This is not an easy job for us since there are big groups lobbying
against this bill who are financed by proprietary
software companies. If you have related bill in your country, please
send us some details for our references and if possible
email or write the Philippine consulate in your country and help us
explain the importance of this bill. Thank you in advance for your
help.
