Yes possible, there are different ways to consume betel, in India for example it's chewed with spices or chewing tobacco. I don't know how it's used in the Philippines so it would be a pure guess for what is the third case.
Here a description from the net:
The most common method of using betel nut is to slice it into thin strips and roll it in a betel leaf with slaked lime (powder) or crushed seashells. This leaf package is known as a betel quid, betel nut chew, betel chew, betel pan or betel paan (India).
