No the Philippines is not "a Muslim country." It's an overwhelmingly Christian (heavily Catholic) country with a Muslim minority in the exteme South. The Muslims include terrorists who are at war against the Christian government. They want to split off the South from the rest of the Philippines.
Yes, I just posted I get Indonesia and the Phillipines mixed up.
And a country with corruption problems. Once it's in the hands of politicians there, will they resist the temptation to sell info to al Queda?
