They are saving transportation costs as we are right next to China. Maybe I'm missing something important but I will never get the logic of this kind of pricing.

I was surprised to find out that in the Philippines, Japanese cars were much more expensive than in the US. It turns out that many of the the right hand drive models sold in the Philippines come from the US, not Japan. This was in 2005, but Japanese auto makers have been looking to manufacture more in the Philippines in recent years.
