Can I readily use Samsung Blast here in the Philippines?

My cousin from US is planning to give me his Samsung Blast, and I think it is still not available here in the Philippines. Now I don't know if it is programed to be readily used anywhere without unlocking codes or something like that. Can it be readily used? Or if not, what should I do so I can use it here?Can I readily use Samsung Blast here in the Philippines?Yes, it has gone world wide.
