A Singaporean man has been left stranded in the Philippines after discovering that his marriage to a Filipina woman was allegedly not valid.
Content creator ItsCarrie first posted about the man, Hasbi, on TikTok on Sept 20.
Hasbi, 50, said that he believed his marriage to his Filipina partner was genuine, but only recently discovered that it was fake, wrote content creator Carrie Laine Abad.
She shared that Hasbi had been staying in a mosque to avoid becoming homeless.
In the video, Hasbi can be seen showing the TikToker around the mosque's premises with his Singapore passport in hand.
The video footage also shows him packing his passport into one of two bags containing his belongings.

Hasbi shared in an interview posted by Abad on Sept 21 that he met a Filipina woman in Singapore and wanted to marry her.
However, he alleged that the process was too "long", so the pair decided to move to the Philippines to get married instead.
He said they had planned to hold another marriage ceremony in Singapore, but the relationship ended before that could take place.
"I don't have my marriage certificate," he told the TikToker, laughing in embarrassment.
"So you want to go back to your country?" asked Abad.
"Of course," Hasbi replied.
He added that he wanted to return to Singapore because he "no longer has any reason to stay in the Philippines".
Seeking a way back to Singapore
Abad shared in an update on Sept 21 that she intended to help Hasbi.
"I will pay for your flight from Bohol to Manila so we can fix your papers with Immigration and your embassy," she wrote.
She also shared a screenshot of her conversation with the Singaporean in which she offered to pay for his flight when he told her that he did not have any money.
Abad subsequently posted updates showing Hasbi going to an airport and being flown to Manila.
In a separate video, she brought him, alongside an American and a Nigerian who are reportedly facing similar circumstances in the Philippines, to the Bureau of Immigration Head Office in Manila.
They are currently awaiting updates from the immigration authorities.
She has since posted videos showing Hasbi having a meal at an Indian restaurant and shopping for groceries in Manila.
Her first video about Hasbi has amassed over 120,000 views and almost 2,000 likes. Many netizens have praised her for helping him return to Singapore.
Why she decided to help
The 24-year-old TikToker has posted other videos of herself helping various foreigners, like Hasbi, who are stranded in the Philippines.
She told AsiaOne that she chose to help Hasbi because he appeared to genuinely need assistance. She added that hopes to see Hasbi return to Singapore soon.
When contacted, Hasbi told AsiaOne that he was stressed about his situation and was not ready to comment further.
However, he mentioned that Abad has been sponsoring his meals and accommodation in Manila.
AsiaOne has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Manila for more information.

一名新加坡男子发现自己与一名菲律宾女子的婚姻据称无效后，滞留在了菲律宾。
内容创作者 ItsCarrie 于 9 月 20 日在 TikTok 上首次发布了关于 Hasbi 的新闻。
50岁的哈斯比表示，他一直相信自己与菲律宾伴侣的婚姻是真实的，但直到最近才发现这是假的，内容创作者凯莉·莱恩·阿巴德写道。
她透露，哈斯比一直住在清真寺里，以避免流落街头。
视频中可以看到，哈斯比手持新加坡护照，带领这位 TikTok 用户参观清真寺。
视频画面还显示，他将护照装进了装有个人物品的两个包中的一个里。

Hasbi 在 Abad 于 9 月 21 日发布的采访中透露，他在新加坡遇到了一位菲律宾女子，并想娶她为妻。
然而，他声称这个过程太“漫长”，所以两人决定搬到菲律宾结婚。
他说他们原本计划在新加坡举行另一场婚礼，但这段关系在婚礼举行之前就结束了。
“我没有结婚证，”他尴尬地笑着告诉那位TikTok用户。
“所以你想回你的国家？”阿巴德问道。
“当然，”哈斯比回答道。
他还表示，他想返回新加坡，因为他“不再有任何理由留在菲律宾”。
寻找返回新加坡的方法
阿巴德在 9 月 21 日的最新消息中表示，她打算帮助哈斯比。
她写道：“我会支付你从薄荷岛到马尼拉的机票，这样我们就可以帮你办理移民局和大使馆的相关手续了。”
她还分享了她与这位新加坡男子的对话截图，截图中该男子告诉她自己没有钱，而她主动提出为他支付机票。
阿巴德随后发布了最新消息，显示哈斯比前往机场并乘飞机前往马尼拉。
在另一段视频中，她带着他，以及一名美国人和一名尼日利亚人（据报道他们在菲律宾面临类似的处境），前往马尼拉移民局总部。
他们目前正在等待移民局的最新消息。
此后，她发布了一些视频，显示哈斯比在一家印度餐厅用餐，并在马尼拉购买杂货。
她发布的第一条关于哈斯比的视频已经获得了超过12万次的观看量和近2000个赞。许多网友称赞她帮助哈斯比返回新加坡。
她为什么决定帮忙
这位 24 岁的 TikTok 用户还发布了其他视频，记录了她帮助像 Hasbi 这样滞留在菲律宾的外国人的过程。
她告诉AsiaOne，她之所以选择帮助哈斯比，是因为他看起来确实需要帮助。她还表示，希望哈斯比能尽快返回新加坡。
记者联系到哈斯比时，他告诉AsiaOne，他目前处境紧张，不愿进一步置评。
但他提到，阿巴德一直在资助他在马尼拉的食宿。
AsiaOne已联系外交部和新加坡共和国驻马尼拉大使馆以获取更多信息。
