Appears to be for those who obtain a visa from their home countries. Im sure they like to add/change something every day to confuse and to keep themselves in a job. What will they do once covid is history?

Where is Fen 10th on the calendar?

The wording doesn't really make it clear if that applies to those already here on a 9a.  That'd save me some $$$ but would probably delay my ACR-I card.

Well I just asked the question on the BI FB page, but I stupidly asked 2 question in one sentence.... 

Quote

I am currently in The Philippines on a 9a visa. I arrived on January 16th. I was wondering if the new 90 validity applies to me or is only for those that arrive after Februarly 10.

Anyone taking bets as to whether the answer will be yes only without clarification as to which one they're answering.

Perks of having a new Huawei phone. I need to run it through certain software as Google restricts it's use and one of the pain in the butts is the keypad and auto spell checker. Multiple times I type certain words and hit send then it decides I've made a mistake and corrects it. It doesn't like abbreviations I've discovered.

I have a Hauwei P30 lite and love it.  On mine the spell checker and "predictive word/phrase" work great.  No issues with Google.

Older ones are fine.  New one's you have to run via an App which tricks Google into thinking it's an older phone.  A serious pain in the butt when almost every App I was used to never ran without Google services and Google refuse to load it to the newer Huawei.
