The Church is the primary culprit for the root cause of most poverty in the Philippines, overpopulation. Thailand is corrupt as hell too and has no history of democracy, but look at the higher...

Barrio Barretto now has "close to 30" gogo bars? It was closer to 3 when I was there in early 90s). Might have to take a look some time as the drive on the Expressway is so quick nowadays.

Get AWAY from the airport first, or get a departing taxi with no passengers and agree on price before getting in. I bet if you told your hotel only 1 passenger price is more like 2500.

Using your Paypal account, you can instantly add "eloads" to SMART or GLOBE cellphones in the PI.

You pay a small premium: for example-a 115 Piso load costs $2. 85 CURRENTLY-they do adjust with...

If you call a cellphone she WILL see where you are calling from. Few landlines have caller ID so that gives you one option if she has a landline.

Skype is cheaper BUT you must set up an account...

Mattrick: It was SEAIR, not Asian Spirit, that served Camiguin from Cebu. It is not seasonal, it is dead. HOPEFULLY another carrier will fill the void (ditto Baguio service).

Getting to Boracay...

Christmas Day is VERY different there than here. NOBODY stays home with their family. I was at Mall of Asia last Christmas and the traffic and the crowds were beyond belief. 2 hour + wait to eat,...

Mileage accrual is just one of MANY. Singapore and Asiana (and cathay) will often give 70% of actual mileage on discounted fares BUT YOU MUST CHECK FIRST! PAL's HUGE advantage is if you are...

FE: Bet that was a pricey trip as both Cathay and dragon Air are quite expensive. CERTAINLY more than double what the low cost carriers would charge if they flew the route. Cebu Pacific to HK would...

No direct flights from PI to Cambodia yet. When Cebu Pacific's hub at Clark gets established next year (hopefully), it would make sense they would add PP as a destination. But making sense and...

X: Generally speaking (a generalization of course), Asian men tend not to treat women as well as North American/European/Ozzie/Kiwi men do. That is NOT a judgment, it is an observation/opinion. That...

Artisitic Diving in Sipalay, Negros, is best dive school I've found. Run by a Swiss guy, he has European instructors to fill in when he cannot personally teach the course. My experience is that...

Wearing shorts is ABSOLUTELY CONSIDERED LOW CLASS in Manila in particular, and upper class people will look down at you for doing it. Yes low class locals do it too, but you do not want a pretty...

A couple examples for you:

I use that method too (despite having been divorced for 5 years and the fact that the ex is now a US citizen). Actually I've done you one better using the Philippines lack of divorce to my benefit.

Most Filipinas avoid the sun also, especially lighter complexion or upper class girls.

There are no bj bars in Manila to my knowledge, but there are massage places in AC.

AC is much friendlier...

NOT TRUE that you must go so far to find nice beaches or diving off Cebu. Macatan Island is mediocre, unless you can afford to stay at Shangri La Hotel. But just 4 kilometers across the channel is...

Bayview Park is OK, but you can do better. Being that close to the Embassy is a turn off, as are the aggressive touts. You are better off to stay by EDSA and Roxas in Pasay City. Try to book...
