Practice question
A foreign national temporarily visiting the Philippines interacts here as a potential buyer with a foreign platform that avails of the Philippine market. The platform says foreign citizenship categorically excludes that interaction from Section 2(m). Which is correct?
- Only Filipino citizens can be relevant customers.
- Every foreign visitor is legally located abroad for all purposes.
- Potential customers are excluded unless they already purchased three times.
- The IRR includes Philippine-located potential customers regardless of citizenship; nationality alone does not establish the claimed exclusion.
- The interaction automatically proves every alleged consumer violation.
