if all else fails you can manually install the card .
Its what I have to do inMandrake 9.0
Add the following lines to your /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options i2c-core i2c_debug=1
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=78
options tuner type=1
I'm not sure about the tuner type for this card here is a list of available types.

type=40 - HITACHI V7-J180AT
I dont know what tv source there is in the philipines, I imagine it is NTSC
so if that is so you can rule out al the pal tuners.
Give type=2 a try first because it is the most popular.
Once you have done this reboot(its quicker)
and execute
$scantv
Xawtv will start to scan for channels and if all is well it will find them.
good luck

These guys seem to know a thing or two about those apps and how to make them work. I got XAWTV running under linux very easily by installing Apt-RPM from this site http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/ once that's in place run "apt-get update" minus the quotes of course and your all set to go. Run "apt-get install xawtv" it should download and install xawtv and all of its dependencies. Good luck!
