As someone who lives in the Philippines, I can attest to the veracity of the above. Young womenparticularly those traveling alone or in small groupshave an extraordinarily difficult time leaving the...

Given that some cute girls will get off at 10 o'clock, perhaps it would be possible to go there prior to 10, and make a separate deal with the girl to meet you at your hotel once she gets off work,...

A friend and I were on Burgos St. Last night; the first such sojourn for me in maybe 3 years. Given all that's been written here, I wanted to see Maison, more simply to understand some of the hype. I...

Nowhere. Spanish isn't even taught in schools here.

I think it's a stay of 6 months or more. I have to pay it every time I leave the country, but then so do Filipinos.

I agree, and that's why I used to stay there as well. However, the cost / benefit ratio has changed, at least for me.

I've stayed at Plaza Suites twice, when I showed up unexpectedly at ABC and it was full, so I had to stay for a night at Plaza. It's nice enough, but at least when I stayed there, it had no...

The law goes into effect today I believe, and SIM card holders have until the end of June to register. For post-paid accounts with Smart, the process was easy. We got text messages from Smart, and...

In my case, I forgot to wear a mask in a large mall here and paid the consequences as. I developed Covid about four days later. I've been vaxxed four tines, and the case wasn't severe but it did...

Mask requirements will also vary depending on local city rules / practices. Here in Davao, for whatever reason, everyone is still wearing a mask in malls and shops. I don't think it's a city...

I agree that, having stayed at ABC perhaps 20 times, there's no other place quite like it. The question is, as always, whether it represents value for money. I finally came to the conclusion that it...

And I'm not saying that this never happens. On the other hand, all of my expat friends here are married, and have been so for quite a while and none have experienced any of the problems you describe....

I love it when guys with little to no knowledge post stuff like this. Yes, I think—in fact I know—that there's a national database maintained by the Bureau of National Statistics, and if you think...

Except the part about marrying a Filipino who's already married is crap. All legal marriages here are registered and proof the eligibility to marry must be presented. Yes, horror stories abound and...

I think most of us who have lived here for a while have 220 V appliances and electronics so it's no issue.

Okay, there's enough space now.
Thanks.

Essentially, what he's looking for is a woman with zero to low sex drive and an IQ barely at or above sentience, who will be satisfied with her role a brood mare for his future offspring for whom I...

Arguing with those who wear the tinfoil hats is roughy analogous to speaking with a plant and offers the same degree of satisfaction. I live, as some will know, in Davao, and the city did an...

I was tempted to respond to you in French, since I assume it's your mother tongue, but the rules here will not allow that, so English will have to do. I think you are overthinking this way too much....
-
Just a suggestion, but you might want to start seeing a slightly higher class of Filipinas, as after 2 decades here, it's a problem I've never seen.

It's now about 56.3 but inflation is galloping along here too. I don't know what the official rate is, but consumer goods are getting ever more expensive.
GE.
-
Not as good as it might first appear. The peso is at almost $1: Php55 true, but inflation is running at about 5% and for some goods up to 8%, so many commodities have started it rise in price rather...

The weather was extremely hot when I was there, but there was very little rain.

I would encourage any of you with similar concerns to read G's sound advice carefully, and take it to heart. I have no idea how many people the girl in question is "helping," but the notion of...

Thanks for the reminder. Yours is likely the most sage advice provided here for a while and I'll try to restrain myself from commenting on generalizations outside of the context you describe.
