Most Japanese OEMs these days either have additional factories in the Phillipines, or alliances with Phillipine makers.
Of the SWFA SS line, the only Phillipine assembled scope so far is the 1-4x24. However, unless I am misunderstanding something, it is built by the same company that builds the rest of the SS Classic scopes in Japan. The build the components in their facility in Japan and assemble it in their facility in the Phillipines.
