Some Galaxy Store Apps are Region Locked.
The Good Lock App for example, is only available in 15 countries.



Wikipedia
A regional lockout (or region coding) is a class of digital rights management preventing the use of a certain product or service, such as multimedia or a hardware device, outside a certain region or territory.
 

For Philippines to be Region 'UN'locked these regional limitations, we would have to pay a fee to a group/business that made the software, in other words in this case, Philippines would have to pay a Royalty Fee to Samsung considering our Financial and Political instability.
