If you buy front loading washing machines in Philippines, be careful because the water pressure is a lot less and the modern front loaders that we use here will not operate so check water pressure wherever you are living. the top loaders that you buy in Philippines are ok, but they tend to tie your clothes in knots. If you have enough water pressure to accomodate a modern front loader you will find the known brands that we have in UK are available at Robinsons (you can check on their website) and are about the same price as in the UK!
