Hello! I'm not from Philippines, but I wanted to forward  here my letter 
about a similar case:

<-->

I've found information about unusable Linux installations at Acer Aspire
Notebook via http://www.opennet.ru, and remembered that when our company
have bought two notebooks with preinstalled Linpus Linux. When they were
turned on, there was only a command line with root logged in, and no
X11, KDE/Gnome, etc. I thought that Linpus is some kind of "stub" Linux
then. Now I saw at their site, that it is not true. Also, we've
installed
our Arta OS distribution (Debian-based), and found that the integrated
WiFi does not work. Such kind of a Linux support from Acer has
disappointed
us.

The notebook model was Acer eMachines е725, there was information about
Linux and GPL in the box, and no CD or DVD for Linpus. What a bad joke.
