Anyone from the Philippines?

We are vacationing in the Philippines (my wife is from here) and to say there's much to do here is a massive understatement.
In almost two weeks, I have visited one L2 charger and one DCFC. They weren't in use and were blocked off, but security could probably move the barriers.
The bigger problem is I haven't seen a single BEV or even a PHEV in the country during our visit. I've only seen one (non-plugin) hybrid as well. Diesel and gasoline are king here with little sign it's going to change anytime soon. And many of the vehicles, like the jeepneys are terribly polluting.
It's a sobering reminder of the progress that still needs to be made in the world at large.

The PlugShare map of The Philipines looks like Australia about 10 years ago. But there are a few DC charges dotted around the main cities. The new President Marcos Jr has recently introduced some tariff reductions and their EV policy was issued in about 2019, but there is a long way to go.

Tesla does not have any dealerships. What does "official reseller" mean? Their website even has completely wrong Tesla cars specifications, Tesla could rather sue them.
