    I don’t have direct knowledge on whether or not Duterte made all of this worse, but I suspect you’re correct. Philippines is worlds behind on records, which is why I understand the purpose of the Apostille certification agreement.

      According to USA friends he fucked with records of ex-pats and it was a nightmare for a bit when their family members were getting citizenship. That’s why I also brought him up.

        Oof. Considering his ex-presidential behavior in addition to his behavior while in office, this seems like something he would do.
