After it was announced in China last December, Huawei is making the Nova 8 official globally along with its price, in multiple countries including the Philippines. Interestingly the global variant is different than what we initially saw last December.

Unlike the China version, the global version of the Nova 8 uses a Kirin 820E processor. The processor is made using a 7nm process and is a Hexa-core with 3 Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.22Ghz and 3 Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.84Ghz. The GPU is a Mali-G57, and the Nova 8 comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
The display is a 6.57-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, 90hz refresh rate, 10-bit color, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a punch-hole for the 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The rear camera setup consists of a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a pair of 2-megapixel cameras–one for depth sensing, and another for macro shots.
While it has a rather small battery at 3800mAh, the Nova 8 supports 66w charging, which can fully top up the battery in around 35 minutes. Like with most current Huawei phones, the Nova 8 comes with EMUI 12 out of the box.
Huawei Nova 8 Philippines Availability
Huawei has yet revealed the official price and availability of the Nova 8 in the Philippines as of press time, but a listing in Russia prices the Nova 8 at 40,000 Rubles(~Php 27.6k).
