Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) is compatible with petrol/gasoline engines. Typically the gas is mostly propane with some butane derived mainly from oil refineries. From an environmental pov, LPG is cleaner than petrol or diesel, although it is still a fossil fuel and thus its use, as a whole, still contributes to global pollution.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a natural gas and is more compatible with heavy diesel vehicles. Because it is not liquefied it has a lower energy density and is stored at very high pressures. These factors are a disadvantage for CNG, as storage and vehicle tanks have to be robust and heavy because of the high pressure requirement.
It's a good thing that LPG conversion is now available in the Philippines ... I wouldn't worry too much about the unavailability of smaller tanks at the moment. In the UK market they offer all sorts of sizes, including donuts where your spare tire used to be (meron na kasing run-flat tires). Being bi-fuel means that if you run out of LPG, you can still use gasoline to reach your destination or the next LPG station.
Safety-wise ... A properly installed LPG system is safer than your normal gasoline fuel system. The problem at the moment is the absence in the Philippines of an inspecting body that would certify as safe any LPG conversion that has been done.

Just came from the world trade center where the LPG conversion kit is being exhibited. Kinda impressed with the LPG conversion kit. Even with the high initial purchase cost, it seems to be the most viable alternative to saving money with your car.
