Quick question: No Apple App Store presence?
Hey, sorry to budge in: I just noticed that Apple doesn't offer an App Store page for Filipino, does anyone know why? Android has it.
I translated my free mobile game to it (would love for someone to check if the translations are appropriate for a Fantasy RPG), but when I wanted to setup the store page I couldn't find the language anywhere.
Which is weird for a country of nearly 118 million people, does Apple have some kind of grudge or are you all English natives? O.o

Due to local sufficient proficiency in the English language, only a few apps are ever made purely for the Filipino language, despite some official phone apps translated to that language besides phone language options. That the majority of Apple users in the country are mostly upper and upper-middle class people who are also very conversant in English.
I'm on Android, but if you're checking under something like "languages" it's could be under "Tagalog", not "Filipino"
I know :) It's actually not there: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-information/app-store-localizations/
Apple just falls back to English for the Philippines.
