LOCAL City Places Expands to the Philippines, Empowering Locals to Earn from Reviews and Businesses to Own Their City

RATE$BATE Members can now earn for reviews, refer across countries, and help local businesses grow with exclusive visibility.

CAPAS TARLAC, BARANGAY, PHILIPPINES, October 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- LOCAL City Places today announced its official launch date of November 3, 2025 in the Philippines, marking a major milestone in its mission to reward everyday consumers and empower local businesses. Through the RATE$BATE program, Filipino Members can now earn money for their reviews, invite others to join, and help build a trusted local business ecosystem.

In this new phase of global connectivity, Members in the Philippines and the United States can now refer one another, expanding earning opportunities beyond borders. RATE$BATE Members in either country can build two-tier referral networks that generate commissions internationally.

“LOCAL City Places is about rewarding real people for the value they bring to their communities,” said Troy Warren, speaking on behalf of LOCAL City Places. “Now, with cross-country referrals between the Philippines and the U.S., Members can earn globally while supporting local economies. It’s truly the best of both worlds—local impact with international opportunity.”

“With this launch, we’re giving Business Members something rare online: true exclusivity in their city and category,” said Susan Anderson, VP of Marketing at LOCAL City Places. “Combined with the power of verified, incentivized reviews and international referrals, we’re building a marketplace that connects trust, loyalty, and opportunity across borders.”
