Greetings, I am a filipino citizen and I am planning to create an online business - basically a mobile app for normal users and business owners (restaurants, etc.). Can you please list the things that I should comply or consider to ensure that I am abiding the law in Philippines? Like GDPR and so on. Should I also register my online business even if I don't have a business physical location? Since I will be utilizing the cloud features of Google. If yes is the answer, please advise on the steps that I should do. Many Thanks, Bryan
