Where do I list monthly pensions distributions from a former, international employer, when the plan is not qualified and the employer does not issue any tax documents?

My former employer, based in the Philippines, began paying me a monthly pension in 2024. This is not a qualified plan. The employer does not issue any IRS tax documents.
