There is no Philippine variant if you look on the list and I really want to wow my new wife. I don't want to be like, "well umm I really wish it was released over here and I know I promised I was going to give you my LG G2x but uhm,.... I really can't now because..etc.." lame. I want everything to go right, the rings, the vacation spots we will visit, our friendship/courtship. Their family is really helping me out over here right after I got laid off. Since the variant list does not contain a Philippine variant I do not believe it will be released there and even if it was it will be too late. I leave the 17th October.
