I have been checking out http://maps.ovi.com and until recently, Nokia had only been showing the public domain VMAP0 data (which is data only good for 1:1,000,000 scale maps--meaning low resolution). Nokia announced recently that they would be offering free turn-by-turn navigation and I guess, shortly after that, they enabled Navteq's Philippine data to be shown on the Ovi Maps website.
Looking at their maps, the road data for Metro Manila and surrounding area seems good and somewhat up-to-date (though I can easily spot several out-of-date portions). For instance they barely pass my Bonifacio Global City test but fail the C-5 extension test. Coastline data is pretty bad, on the other hand. In terms of coverage, I think they can match Google's Map Maker data.
