Are Philippine airport controls stricter? ! Surprising appearance of TCEU supervision!

What you need to pay special attention to when entering the Philippine Customs recently is:

The Immigration Bureau has been very strict in enforcement recently, and Philippine airports have recently been supervised by TCEU (Travel Control and Enforcement Unit). Even if there are airport customs clearance arrangements, once TCEU finds out that you are a foreigner, the airport immigration officer will not be able to control you. If you are deported by your TCEU, you can also apply to cancel the deportation, but the cost is ridiculously high, and there is no 100% guarantee of success.

Note: It is recommended that you dress appropriately when entering the country, and do not show tattoos or revealing clothing, etc.

Prepare your return ticket, hotel, and entry code and queue up in order to pass through customs

Try not to appear too anxious or looking around
