Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to kindly request your assistance in verifying whether my name, Trinh Minh Phong ( Vietnamese, Birthday May 10, 1997 ), is included in the BL.I had the opportunity to work in the Philippines from late 2019 to early 2022. During my stay, I diligently fulfilled my tax obligations (had already applied for 9G visa and ECC after i leave). I have always adhered to the laws and regulations of the Philippines. I am currently planning a trip to the Philippines for tourism purposes and would like to ensure that I am not on the BL, Thanks~
