well dont take it seriously,as i was just trying to make u at ease,
seriously we are always welcome other races or foriegner on our country because tourism is really big deal on us,phil govt making money on tourism and its always they report it on public that "our tourism last year and so and so.....is higher than last year and so and so".... so for me , knowing you that you been denied by visawondering why you need to prepare documents or anything to visit the country (phil)its just like the passport and you can enjoy the phil in 21 days, alright
