Hi,

Hope to request for the profile of the Foreign Tourists in the Philippines from January 2022 to September 2022. The data will be extremely helpful for our analysis of the ATM business here in the Philippines since foreign tourists are the company's main clients. We hope to know if there is a data regarding foreign workers in the Philippines and their country of origin.
