Practice question
A foreign website serves only customers abroad. A Filipino citizen living abroad buys goods there for delivery abroad. No Philippine party location, market availing or minimum contacts is shown. A complainant relies solely on the buyer’s citizenship to invoke Section 5. Which analysis is soundest?
- Citizenship alone conclusively establishes minimum contacts
- Every foreign website is subject to every Philippine law
- The foreign seller is automatically an e-marketplace
- The transaction must be treated as Philippine B2B commerce
- The claimed Section 5 connection has not been established on these facts
