The latest Digital 2026 research reports 98.0 million internet users, 83.8% internet penetration and 95.8 million social media user identities in the Philippines.
Retreat and wellness buyers considering Philippines need trust, detailed experience information, travel context and a conversion journey matched to long planning windows.
The Philippines has a large, socially active online audience and a strong English-language business environment. Metro Manila, Cebu and other growth centres can still differ in media economics, audience behaviour and lead quality.
The relevant buying group can include wellness travellers, retreat participants, corporate groups and referral partners. The central challenge is building trust for high-consideration experiences, differentiating similar offers and converting international demand across long planning windows.
That means the marketing plan must do more than generate traffic. It needs to establish category relevance, answer market-specific objections, help the buying group progress and give sales or operations enough context to act on the demand.
Define priority segments, commercial centres, account lists, buyer roles, current alternatives, local terminology and the evidence needed to earn trust.
Map English and any relevant local-language demand. Build pages around genuine intent and buyer questions rather than publishing city pages without local presence or unique value.
Use market-specific audience, budget, conversion and sales-quality definitions. Do not compare blended CPL across countries without accounting for funnel and commercial differences.
Localise proof carefully. Regional case studies can demonstrate capability, but the page must name the actual market and should add Philippines-specific evidence when available.
Connect forms, CRM, sales stages and reporting so the scorecard reflects meaningful outcomes.
Language model: English is widely usable; Filipino or other local-language support should follow audience research.
Channel context: Google, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and marketplace or messaging journeys may all contribute. High social reach does not remove the need for commercial-intent search and conversion measurement.
Privacy and sector control: Lead capture, analytics and remarketing should be reviewed against the Data Privacy Act and National Privacy Commission guidance. The client should obtain current professional advice for regulated claims, personal data and sector-specific promotion.
Digital Squad is headquartered in Singapore. Strategy, governance, analytics and senior account leadership for the Philippines are led from Singapore. Where the agreed scope requires local-language, media, cultural, production or regulatory expertise, the proposal identifies the people responsible and how they work with the core team. We do not present remote or partner capability as a staffed local office.
A page targeting the Philippines does not mean Digital Squad is physically based there. Do not imply a Makati, Manila or Philippine office; state the Singapore-led regional model clearly.
The principal scorecard should focus on qualified enquiries, booking conversion, cost per booking, average booking value and repeat or referral contribution. Each stage must have an owner, data source, definition and quality threshold.

Before publication, replace broad claims with approved client evidence, expert credentials or original research relevant to the Philippines market.
It should understand the buying group - wellness travellers, retreat participants, corporate groups and referral partners - and design the content, media, conversion and measurement system around building trust for high-consideration experiences, differentiating similar offers and converting international demand across long planning windows.
The recommended mix is brand positioning, SEO and content, paid search and social, conversion optimisation and CRM and lifecycle journeys. The final mix follows the business model, market maturity and evidence.
Prioritise qualified enquiries, booking conversion, cost per booking, average booking value and repeat or referral contribution. Define each funnel stage and align it with sales or operational systems before launch.

The category strategy can be regional, but buyer language, proof, channels, regulation, conversion and sales processes may need country-level adaptation.
