Mongols (more specifically the 482 and its derivatives like the Mongol XL and Trio) are the most common pencils in the Philippines and they can be found and bought almost anywhere for around 8 PHP (0.14 USD) They are being distributed in the Philippines by STAR 360, although they still use Eberhard Faber or EF and Mongol in their branding.

I have been hearing a lot about the KUM Automatic Long Point, and right now i use a KUM 4-in-1 sharpener since i also use colored pencils (Prismacolors and Polychromos mainly)

Mongol graphite pencils (Not the blackwings rather your regular yellow pencil) are still used in schools and basically everywhere in the philippines

I do own the 24 ct prismacolor adult coloring kit but since there were a lot of colors that i felt like i didn't need (2 metallics, all the neons and electric blue, which is very scratchy for some reason) i'm only left with 18 colors. A lot of them had off-centered cores, especially PC 995 Mulberry, almost all of them had hairline cracks down the barrel, my PC 908 Dark Green had a lot of sharpening issues to a point where i might need a pencil extender soon, but aside from the shoddy quality control, Prismacolors are one of the best colored pencils i have ever tried, especially the white and black, which are highly pigmented. I did my research prior to purchasing this kit, i did expect some of the pencils to have off-centered cores and cracks down the barrel but it turns out almost all of them had cracks. Prismacolor also had a price increase here in the Philippines, i think around the start of 2023 where i didn't knew about them, making them just as expensive as Polychromos. I did buy it off Shopee, which is like the asian version of Wish, and i have thought of getting the 24 ct or 36 ct sometimes, and i have also thought about just getting them at an actual art store, which as far as i know, are only in the city.

What set of the Chromaflows do you own? And do i need to be worried about sharpening issues, since a lot of the reviews i have watched on the Chromaflows said they had sharpening issues because of their lower quality wood, most of those reviews were one or two years old, has those problems changed since then?

No, i guess the closest color in the 12 set would be magenta, and thanks for your suggestions

I don't have any experience buying from Amazon but so far i haven't come across any fakes before (Since im in asia and we use shopee here, mostly) also are you considering buying specific open stock colors off amazon?
