what is the system of measurement adoptd by the Philippines
The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Burma, Liberia, and the United States.
English units were the historical units of measurement used in England up to 1824. By the late 20th century, they officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement.
The use of the metric system was made legal as a system of measurement in the US in 1866. The system was officially adopted by the federal government in 1975 for use in the military and government agencies, and as preferred system for trade and commerce.

Myanmar formerly known as Burma uses the imperial system of measurement. It used to be a British colony and has not yet adopted the metric system.
The US and I believe Liberia are the remaining two standouts which have not adopted the SI (metric) system. But the SI system is legal in the US, even if not formally adopted.
Those two nations are both Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA.

The metric system is an international decimalised system of measurement, first adopted by France in 1791, that is the common system of measuring units used by most of the world.
The metric system was officially adopted in the Philippines in 1861, during the Spanish colonial era. It was implemented to standardize measurements and promote trade and communication with other countries that were using the metric system. Today, the metric system is widely used in the Philippines for all official purposes and in everyday life.
That's far from reality because there are so many power thirsty people in the Philippines that's why they do what they can do get the power not bearing in mind the sake of the people.
