@surpassinggoogle, No body can deny that you faced the toughest phase for sure. But no matter what you've always showcased the Fighting Spirit and wish that will continue too. And wish that next SteemFest will be held in Philippines. And literally I've heard some cases where people failing to attain the SteemFest due to nonacceptance of VISA. In my opinion these kind of situations are painful because people prepare lot of stuff but in the end they face Unimaginable situations. Good to luck brother.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
