This could be a nice way to help people save money on data usage, but there are obvious problems beyond the fact that it's only available in the Philippines:

1. The offering is carrier specific and the language suggests that even if this were expanded to other countries, you can only use it from home. 2. Two-factor authentication isn't supported, which most of us are probably using. 3. You may be getting charged for data by services running in the background.

And, of course, the expanding concept of free access to certain sites only serves to help make people think that sort of thing should be ok.
