Before he leaves, he should download WhatsApp, and ask you to do the same. Immediately invite him to become a contact. His US cellphone cannot make phone calls when he’s outside the Us. Best to invite all friends and relatives in the US before he leaves. When he’s in the Philippines, he can take on Filipino contacts by asking them to invite him. Hope this helps.
