Here in the Philippines there is very little use of harmonica on TV..  Or 
ANYWHERE else for that matter.
Most  (but by no means all) of the  harmonicists in this  country are 
"ex-pats" from Europe or America.
 
American blues man Tomcat Colvin in Manila,  as well as myself in Cebu  
City, are doing our best to promote the  harmonica, as well as blues  music 
here though!
 
Harmonicas are expensive in this part of the world, compared to other  
musical instruments.
 
There is a terrific opportunity to market good quality harmonicas at a  
reasonable price here!
