Speaking of Sakay.ph, here's a nice developer's point of view with respect to geocoding in the Philippines: http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/geocoding-services.html Basically, the Sakay.ph developer, Philip Cheang, tried both Google's geocoding API and the Nominatim tool for OSM but have not found them satisfactory. So he went with Google's Places API which provided better results. He thinks it would be better to develop an autocompletion software for OSM but given the short time alloted for the competition, he went with Google Places API (which also forces you to use Google Maps tiles).
