I don’t know what the rules are now. But for many years, including after WW II, Filipinos were allowed to join the U. S. Navy while still in the Philippins — whereas foreigners from every other country were required to be physically present in the U.S. before they could join the U. S. armed forces.

(Maybe the Filipinos were also allowed to join the U. S. Army and Air Force while still in the P. I. Just not sure about that aspect of the matter.)
