Hi good day!

I would like to request the list of blacklisted American citizens who are banned to visit the Philippines. Otherwise, I am in need of confirmation if the person named DAVID RYAN TUCKER, 35 from North Dakota, USA if he is banned here in the Philippines. He was involved in a robbery in 2017 in his state. I need to know if he is on the blacklist and how long he has to wait for him to visit the Philipines. 

I am looking forward to the help of your good office for the verification of my simple request.

Thank you
