You're right. I encounter a lot of bugs with local sites. Weird (and sad) though that if Pinoy developers make it for foreign clients, they test it and really take care with the design. Well, the few good providers anyway. But when it's proprietary, it's not as good. Or maybe Pinoy devs just can't seem to prioritize as much investing time and money in UX. I wish I could say some of the local high-traffic sites are user-friendly like Inquirer or GMA7 or even most government websites... but naw... @Jon Scary stuff… You’re right.

As for a pinoy site with good UX in mind -- that's a little tough. Chikka is trying its best, but I don't consider it as "up there".
