divs, the Philippines is the Philippines and none of us can control how they deal with anyone who is not Filipino. My earlier suggestion was for you to contact them directly, let me expand, you might wish to contact them explaining your situation (Nicely) and that you wish to repay the money you owe them now that you have apparently gotten back on your feet (so to speak). Then if they say you are still blacklisted, then repay them anyway and wait a few months or more and then ask them again if they could please remove the blacklisting as you love their country and their people etc and/or any other reason you might wish to get back there, such as a special lady you have kept in touch with etc and also explain how you now intend to support yourself, such as you now have SS or whatever else might be your situation.

Now as for your comments, please do not blame us for your poor planning. Any person who moves to a foreign country should have an exit plan with funding in place. It has nothing to do with us having pensions and more to do with planning. I happen to know of quite a few guys on SS or pensions who do not seem to have an exit plan, from what they have told me, so even with pensions one can get themselves into the same position you found yourself in, but again, that is poor planning on their part and on your part and there is no one to blame but yourselves, for not thinking ahead.
The US, and I am sure other countries, has a whole group of people on the dole who are there because of poor planning and refusal to try to bring themselves up out of living off the govt, so while I feel sorry for you and your situation, we did not put you in that situation, you did, not the Philippine govt or any of us who may have judged you. The Philippines does not owe any of us anything, we owe it to ourselves to make sure we have a backup plan, yet many do not and could fall upon hard times, just like you did due to ever increasing costs of living that some did not plan for.
Now I agree with you on the part of the many Filipinos who are TNT in the US but what does that have to do with the cost of tea in China. You seem to have a bad attitude where you feel the Philippines owes you something and while I feel the Philippines should be thankful for the money we foreigners spend in their country, many of the things they do, seem to lead me to believe that they do not give a hoot about most of us and would much rather have OFW's working abroad and not have any of us meddling in how
we think they should run their country. I feel if it was up to the Philippines, then none of us would live in their country and the only foreigners they would welcome are those who visit and spend tons of money doing it.
I hope you do as I suggested above in my first post and repay the money because it is the correct thing to do and not just because you wish to get back into the Philippines, as a debt is a debt and only after the debt is paid may the Philippine govt then know that your motives were first to pay the debt YOU FEEL YOU OWE and second to get back into their country.
