Affidavit and documents required for international travel as a tourist

Requested from BI by P. Pilotin at 07:36 PM on Nov 20, 2022.

Hi. I would like to request information regarding international travel.
I am of legal age, a secretary for my dad here in the Philippines. We are both Filipino citizens residing in the Philippines. I don't really have a "formal" employment so to speak at the moment, would it be possible for my dad to sponsor my travel abroad for touring in India? Does he need to get an affidavit of support? What other details and documents do we need? Thank you.
