Well, it might be possible that if he decides to go on a trip to the Philippines, we might see some ideas arise for a character. I remember he posted that lovely header of Hong Kong around the time he visited that place last year, and he said he'd be going to Taiwan so Japanese fans expect something of Taiwan to come soon to commemorate that visit. But seeing as those two had been designed already and kind of in "limbo" for a while, I do wonder what his Philippines ideas would be.

He had a lot of different ideas for Taiwan, after all. I guess some nations just take longer to get the "right" design for.
