Questions

Does local law apply to tourists?

Yes. The law of the country you are physically in applies regardless of citizenship, and some countries additionally prosecute their citizens for specific offences committed abroad. Ignorance of local law is not a defence anywhere.

What are the penalties in Philippines?

Penalties depend on what exactly is prohibited — selling, buying, organising or soliciting — and vary by region and over time. Where buying is criminalised, fines and mandatory courses are typical; where organising is the offence, venues and intermediaries carry the risk. Verify the current law for your specific situation before relying on anything.

How do I check the current situation in Philippines?

The general status is described above; for how the law is actually applied, recent changes and city-level specifics — ask.
