Tonio, notice that Paul's letter to the congregation in Philippi was written from prison in Rome toward the end of his earthly life. Phil 1:12-14.
Paul would see no need to repeat the obvious truth he had earlier written to the Corinthians.
(1 Corinthians 15:27, 28) For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.
That Jesus was given the honor that God bestowed on him was "to God the Father’s glory" - Phil 2:11
Jesus, rather than making a grab for equality with God, as Satan has sought for himself (Matt 4:9), is willing to subject himself to the Father.
