Hi, my boyfriend has been stuck Philippines for 18 years.
He is half filipino by his mother but was born in Japan and never became a "citizen" of the Philippines.
The story is his parents went there from Japan to visit for a little when he was 5 and some things went down.
They ran out of money.
They became stranded.
He's now telling me that there's like a $10k+ fee on him but that's against his human rights because he never had free choice and was a minor at the time of departure from Japan.
He has a Japanese passport and is a citizen of Japan. He hasn't been in school since he was 12, has no education whatsoever and no means of paying the bill, nor does he have the means of even working to get the money. It was not his fault.
What the hell can we possibly do? This is an infringement of his human rights.
