I was searching google around for more info and it seems that there is a Tokina factory in Cebu, Philippines. Link here. You might want to double check on this just to confirm.

I have 2 Hoya HMC UV filters of 58mm and 52mm sizes. The label on the back of my 58mm filter casing is very similar to yours (I'm referring to your photo of the back casing on the left) in terms of font size and layout. The only exception is that mine is labelled "Made in Japan by Tokina Co...

PM me the price. Thank you.
