Can I leave Manila while my DTV visa application is pending?
If I apply for the DTV in Manilla on my layover to the USA, can I leave Manilla before the decision and results are sent to me?
Answer summary
It is highly advised not to leave Manila while your DTV visa application is pending. You must remain in the country until you receive a decision on your application. This is due to potential requests for interviews or further proof of your location by the embassy, which is a common practice in Southeast Asia to ensure compliance with visa application rules.

Highly advise against it. More and more embassies are now asking for further documentations to prove you're in the country, eg scan of every passport page

No. What's your plan if they call you for an interview or request proof of location again, a common thing from embassies in SE Asia to prevent exactly this.
