If you have Filipino kids (Minors) but are not married (13A) or you dont have an SRRVisa then you have to apply to a Philippine Embassy and request a 9A Tourist Visa.

Where did you get that info from, can you link a source?

Go on to the Bureau of Immigration Facebook page, you will find it there.  I have no doubt on that information as it is relevant to my individual current circumstances.

There's nothing that says a 9A Tourist Visa will allow you to enter the Philippines under any circumstances.

It would be helpful if the BI Chief could just easily and simply list things the way you just did here, but unsurprisingly there's nothing.

That's what I was asking about, edited for relevance. Sad that the actual BI couldn't post that anywhere, but at least one Embassy is on point.

Does it say anywhere if the birth certificate is also required upon entry into Philippines? 

Beyond all the lockdowns and limits, I'm curious if a foreign parent of Filipino child could stay indefinitely on a 9a.
