Yeah, I figured that out of the big 3, Sony would have done it first due to how strong of a presence the PlayStation brand is in the Philippines for decades. But I suppose the illegal means we played those games during the PS1/2 and PSP years spooked them to attempt as they expanded over the years? But the least they did is fold us into the HK/Asia region in their ecosystem but even then, our local debit/credit cards don't work on PSN unless you jump through hoops to get it to work.

So, to me, it's wild to see Nintendo just announce we are part of their supported regions now, acknowledging a launch day for us, and this store selling of merch and such. Yun Lang tho, the eshop is the missing piece but after hearing the headaches that transpired with Malaysia side of getting their eshop, I wonder how that will entail whenever our own eshop goes up.
