Why have I never been to the Philippines and my name is on the blacklist?

How come I haven't been to the Philippines and my name is on the blacklist?

Many people will wonder why their names appear on the blacklist when they did not go to the Philippines. Why?

This is mainly because the Philippine entry blacklist is based on the pinyin of the name, and we Chinese have many people with the same name, surname or homonym, so as long as people with the same name, surname or homonym enter the Philippine blacklist, then When entering and leaving the country, the Philippine Customs will think that we are also on the blacklist, so we are not allowed to enter the Philippines. This is also what we often call the Philippine blacklist with the same name.

How to prevent this from happening?

In fact, it is very simple. Before applying for a visa, we first do a blacklist query to see if our name is on the blacklist. If not, we can apply for a visa normally. If so, when we apply for a visa, we will explain this situation to the embassy and ask them to comment for you. Then, after entering the Philippines, we will first go to the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to apply for a good citizen certificate (NBI Clearance), and then go to the Immigration Bureau to apply for ntsp certification (Not the Same Person certification), so that we will not be intercepted by the customs when entering and leaving the Philippines.
