The highest ranked Filipino tennis player Alex Eala (no. 73) opens up about the challenges of holding a weak PH passport (visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to only 69 countries and territories).

Australia, Paris, London, and the United States—where the 4 major Grand Slams are held—require a visa for the 19-year-old tennis sensation. Visa fees for Filipinos can cost $150 or more, and often non-refundable.

BINI fans (called Blooms) commenting that the girl group's new all-English EP is not getting as much attention as their Tagalog language songs like "Pantropiko" and "Salamin, Salamin." They believe the decision of BINI's management to produce English songs to cater to an international audience was the wrong move.

To guarantee the business you are dealing with, is absolutely 100% European or Canadian, Asian, or anywhere else outside the jurisdiction of the United States, skim their terms of service, privacy policy, and acceptable user policy.

It purely non-US company, would not care about American Laws, anymore than most people care about the laws of another country (China, for example), that does not apply to them.

ぷにすきーLinux Is Best (@Linux)@Tutanota@mastodon.social You really should read the terms of services of the companies you recommend, while claiming these are purely European companies. A purely European company, would not need to worry about laws of the United States, anymore than you would need to worry about the laws of China, for example. For example: > " Legal Compliance: You represent and warrant that (i) he/she is not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) he/she is not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
