The time I heard about this new feature on Paypal Philippines to add or withdraw to a local bank account, I immediately check and add my bank account and tried to withdraw the funds sitting on my paypal account. All I need was my bank account information including bank code that was posted by paypal on ebay site here (philippines bank codes). And more information here.
After 5 days of waiting to my bank, finally it arrived.
Length: 2 days -Paypal Philippines said that my withdrawal process is complete. Means fund depends now on the processing on my bank to clear it.
3 days – Funds now in my account with Payroll as the memo on the deposit.
Paypal charges 50 Php or around $1.2 on withdrawal fees below Php 7,000. My bank also charges around 100 Php total of 150 Php. I see it quite fast and cheaper also compared to other option like xoom, where I regularly using. Wondering the boost of e-commerce here in the Philippines with this move from Paypal.

HI, since that is the case that they are expanding, why is there no such thing in Nigeria.Its not fair considering the magnaanimity of that country.

@chucks
I am not in good faith to answer your question, what I will provide is based on my own perception.
1. Financial institutions that will support Paypal to the country.
2. Fraud (basically the reason) remember Nigerian Scams?
better yet, contact paypal and see how it goes.
