Answer 1

Is your question about weather you can board a plane as a minor, and go to the Phillipines? If there are family arangements in place yes this shouldnt be a problem. My GFs sister flew alone from Indonesia to meet her in canada at 12. It happens all the time when parents establish themselves in other countries and send back for the children.

Answer 2

Minors in America can't do ANYTHING on their own WITHOUT parental or legal guardian consent.

Tag--you're a minor!! By time you're 17, you'll gain certain freedoms--NOT all of them. That doesn't happen till you reach 21.

Then there's the Phillipine Government: They may have laws demanding written consent by BOTH parents and your relatives be signed and notorized (have your shiny credit card out for this one, kiddo!) by Phillipine seal.

And with that all put aside, you can enter the Phillipines and go to school (God only knows why you want to do this). Might be wise to get to know your U.S. Embassy administrators there.....just to be safe.

Answer 3

Why would it be against the law? Also, the Philippines isn't exactly the safest place on earth right now. Muslim terrorism and a recent presidential coup attempt.

I studied in London and it was safer and the food was really good. haha

Answer 4

Are your parents really opposed to your going to the Phillipines for school, or are they *just* not coming with you? If they are seriously opposed, then I think, yes, it is illegal. If your parents aren't seriously opposed, just can't come for whatever reason, then it's perfectly legal. But it your parents are opposed, then it's running away.

If your parents are opposed but you are willing to go against their wishes, just don't want to get in trouble, I'm sure you could find out a way to get to the Phillipines without being stopped-it's possible. ;-)

Answer 5

As long as your parents are footing the bill they can tell you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. When you are out and supporting yourself for a few years or so you will begin to understand why your parents did as they did. When you begin to approach 50 you will finallly realize that your parents were a lot smarter than you gave them credit for being.

Answer 6

I answer first, and if the answering makes me think of or makes my day, then i'm going to action picture star. i understand...that is picky of me, sorry. o.o yet this way I finally end up pointing my followers and contacts to the *solid stuff* you already know? ^__^ Or a minimum of i attempt to. yet have a action picture star besides in basic terms for being affected person and know-how. ^_^

Answer 7

sorry i cant find much evidence but,
your education is your own decision
phillipines isnt that big on laws, as long as they can have your money
why phillipines? unless its a nice, clean, private, really secluded school

and my question, are you running away from home or something? if so, maybe run somewere else

Answer 8

With your parents permission, nothing is illegal in the United States, especially if they are allowing you to live with your family somewhere else.

Answer 9

No, it's NOT against the law to get a great education here.
We need 'smarter' people like you in the world!
