If there's no Filipino rules site listed in FAQ 4b, I don't know of
one anywhere. But the rules are basically this: play Asian rules
(chows & pungs), 16 tiles in the hand (win on 17). All winds, dragons,
& flowers are exposed immediately upon receipt, and score extra
points. For payment purposes, you can decide if a point is worth a
dime or a quarter or whatever. Per FAQ 14, you can also award extra
for pretty patterns if you want, until and unless you run into a group
that plays and can tell you what exact scoring techniques they use.
See if Four Winds (FAQ 5) has a Filipino mode. I can't check easily
because I'm writing from a hotel computer where they're charging me
for every 10 minutes.

Sorry I can't be more specific than that! Greetings from Seoul, South
