I don't know about PH map in future (about JCV).
For example in Indonesia., Indo JCV is locked and Indo firmware only can use it.
US unit can't display Indo jcv. !!

For Philippine., if PH jcv is locked in future so US unit can only use map not including PH jcv.

If you don't mind about JCV and US firmware features so you can but US unit.

PS ::
- US firmware for 37xx won't display POIs on map., Asian can.
