This isn’t the first time that job adverts have hinted at future Disney+ launches, as we’ve previously seen this with jobs being listed for other countries before launch, including across Europe and in South East Asia.

These job vacancies should indicate that Disney+ will be launching in the Philippines at some point in the future, but it’s important to note that it will take some months for Disney to fill the vacancies, since they will have to do job interviews, background checks etc. Then the team will have to plan for the launch, so the launch of Disney+ in this area might take a while.

But the good news is that there looks to be movement on the launch of Disney+ in the Philippines at some point in the future, especially if they are looking for social media managers, since that would indicate that the streaming service is going to launch pretty soon.

With an upcoming quarterly financial results meeting coming up in a few weeks, hopefully, some more details on the launch in the Philippines are coming soon.
