It did for a friend who had no idea his lady had a child before and told him that she had failed to declare the kid on her application form and was he aware.
But it is likely too late as you said.
The other problem is his age and obsession so it seems with headphones and laptops etc. Basically no social skills, that and being naive and unable to spot the lady has had a baby before.
Sad story but a lesson for everyone.

[QUOTE=ChochaMonger;2077736]The prices in EDSA are high for what is on offer. The girls are generally average and heavily made up to enhance their looks.

Many foreign men, old and young, are walking into these sort of fleecing ambushes due to not doing their research, underestimating the predatory nature of the natives, and a fear of saying no to local opportunists out of an excessive sense of politeness. It is likely to get much worse for the old fella if he could not prevent 14 shameless natives from feeding on him in a public venue like MOA. By the end of his visit to the Philippines, he is highly likely to be the not so proud donor of house, land, and motorbike at a minimum. It is too bad that a lot of sites are promoting the Philippines as a retirement paradise or second chance destination for fellas with a small nest egg or disability benefits without warning about the reality of the pitfalls that may leave them worse off than at home.
In the past two weeks, I have personally seen two cases of foreigners hoodwinked into marriage to a Filipina and turned into the family bank. The Filipinas involved and their families shamelessly bragged about doing this in public to other Filipinos as they consider exploiting foreign men a matter of pride. In the most appalling case, I was a customer in a business where the mother of the Pinay owner boasted to Filipina customers that the Brit husband of her plain looking daughter paid for that business in addition to another business (which failed), a house in a gated subdivision, and a car.
The Brit is in his 20's and the Pinay he married is a few years older than he is. However, what prompted a loud chorus of laughter from patrons and employees in the business establishment was something else. According to his Flip mother-in-law, this young fella met her daughter online on a popular dating site. The daughter convinced him that she was a virgin. He came to the Philippines; they met in person, and had sex. Somehow, the girl convinced the inexperienced young chap that he had taken her virginity. Her mother then stepped in and demanded marriage taking the foreigner to task for deflowering her daughter. In love and eager to please, the youngster entered into a hasty legal marriage.
Unfortunately, he purchased a false bill of goods. The Pinay he married is damaged goods. A Flip impregnated her and she made a baby at the age of 18 years. The father was from a very poor family so he was relieved of responsibility in return for his silence. The girl went away to another province to have the baby and her mother adopted the baby as her son. The mother did this to spare her daughter the shame of having a bastard baby for poor pinoy without a rooster to his name and to ease her entrance into a Catholic college. Therefore, the Brit is unaware that his Flip brother-in-law is actually his wife's son. His wife spends a lot of time in the gym working out but the postpartum belly never quite went away in spite of her being muscular everywhere else. The fact that the young foreigner unknowingly fell for a fake virgin with a bastard son and became the family bank amuses the Filipinos. The employees in the businesses that he finances are now invested in keeping the dark secret as they smile in his face each day, as are his wife's relatives and friends. The wife's family has dreams of immigrating to the UK. They have been pressuring the Brit to take her there. He has applied for her visa. Maybe the British embassy will uncover the fraud and the poor fella will have the last laugh, but I doubt that they will be that thorough.

Possibly wear arm bands and have gold badges identifying yourselves as officers from Save A Poriner squad and have the authority to instantly rescue the poriner on the spot.
At the very least have a Save A Poriner thread here.

For the first time in next month's issue, SAP will have testesmoaniO's from the "Rescued by SAP". Possibly your friends rescue will be in that issue.

Flight 168
Stopped by 168 again on my way to the airport. No real lookers on the first floor and lots of chubby girls on the second floor. Total, maybe 20 girls all together. It was the opposite of my last visit. More girls but no skinny lookers. Since I was there and had four hours to kill before my flight I went with the girl with the biggest tits, probably E's. She told me Filipinos like curvy girls for big boobs. Standard wash, massage and then the deed. 900 or 1200 economy day time promo rate, I forgot, and 1500 tip.

Warn him
Write a small note, and warn him? I mean, why not? I think they got enough out of him right?
