Yes, the official availability of Apple’s iPhone will be available this year by Globe Telecoms. It will be released locally by Globe around September.

According to Globe Telecom’s website, they have signed an agreement with Apple to officially bring the iPhone here in the Philippines.

Unofficial iPhones have already reached the shores of the Philippines. They cost around PHP30,000 - PHP35,000. Even if they are available here in the Philippines, I’d rather buy an official version to avoid the hassle of unlocking, hacking and other stuff that may brick an iPhone.
