Saw some posters and brand plates of Audio-Technica displayed also at Audiophile.  But not sure if they still carry that.  I think there are still some stores in Raon carrying Shure and maybe Ortofon.

nope, they dont have AT carts....other AT pro products they do have.

but AT is a very good cart , too bad walang local dealers that i know of.

Sorry to learn that.  AT was the last cartridge I used when I disposed my Technics TT 2 decades ago.

oo nga sir, despite the growing number of fanatics for the OC9 and the 440ML locally, wala pa ding local dealer ang AT carts.

I just found out that there is a distributor for Audio Technica. They have a store along EDSA near Roosevelt called the Music Store. Unfortunately, they told the that their stocks are only mics, headphones etc. but no cartridge yet. The person I talked to told me that some cartridges might be brought in with their March shipment.

would appreciate updates on this topic.

perhaps it would be better if the available cartridge models would also be mentioned.
for example, shure cartridges are available at audiophile stores but the m92e cartridge and the replacement stylus n92e stocks from all audiophile stores seem to have been exhausted. mukhang wala nang available. so kung naghahanap ka ng p-mount cartridge, you'll have to consider other brands.
