Unlocking phones in Philippines?

I was wondering if anyone here has had experience taking their
phone into a store over there to get it unlocked (to use a SMART or
GLOBAL sim card there)? What brand & model was it, how long did it
take, and how much did they charge you?

I want to take an old Motorola v60i (GSM 900/1800/1900) to use
there, but not if unlocking isn't possible or is prohibitively
expensive.
