The Philippines Bureau of Immigration (BI) has some of the strictest child departure rules in Southeast Asia. Filipino children under 15 traveling abroad without both parents require a Travel Clearance from the Bureau of Immigration — and this must be applied for in advance, not at the airport. In addition to the BI Travel Clearance, a notarized parental consent letter is required. Missing either document results in the child being offloaded at NAIA (Manila) or any other Philippine international airport.
