Reuters reported Tuesday that Singtel will be launching the iPhone in Singapore later this Aug.

How about us here in the Philippines?

A Globe Telecom insider told me that Singtel will be the one to set the date. Why Singtel? Because Singtel is a major stockholder of Globe Telecom. The Singapore firm owns over 47 percent of Globe Telecom.

If you looked closely at the Reuters report, it is not farfetched that iPhone will head to the Philippines at around Aug. 22, the next big date of iPhone launches worldwide.
