Well Philippines got colour even before most European countries too by a year or two. I was surprised they had colour in 1966, I guess their government was passionate about bringing colour to their country a hell of a lot more than Australia's slow crusty old conservative procrastinative curmudgeonous government! Here's a fact for a laugh, we didn't even get FM radio till 1974 let alone colour TV!!!
