I would wholly advise against using a philippine bank. Not only are they about 50 years away from providing internet banking, they are also prone to suddenly closing their doors and keeping your money.

If you want to set up a philippine based account, i would advise going to HSBC in your home country and discussing it with them. HSBC has a couple of major offices in Manila and Makati and would most likely be able to provide what you need - including internet banking.

But I would advise steering clear of philippine banks - not only is internet banking considerably beyond them, but they are expensive (rip off) and very customer unfriendly.
