I don't want to see physical harm to Koreans. I do want to see a big advertising campaign saying that PH citizens should be very suspect of those visiting from Korea. I've traveled 30+ countries and...

Stogis,

I don't know why people recomend Mactan. I had a company in Cebu when I was in my 30s. Matan is not where it's at! Stay in Cebu City. Marriot is good!

WL.

What a great post. I get so sick of reading the same stereotype post of woman in the PH! I've lived and WORKDED (my small biz) there cumulative of 3 years. I think a lot of guys there from the West...

In cebu, there are 2 drug stores in ayala. The one that has more than just a pharma counter (forget if that is mercury or the other) will sell you V with no prescription and is the real thing. Have...

I will retire young to the phils in the next 8 years.

An option to do that even earlier is to take a job , full or part time, at a good Uni as a prof. A woman that is going to be a prof said...

If you try hard and REALLY want to save money you may be able to stay in an "upscale" boarding house. I know that the owner of the Sun Star owns one and a 30 year old highly educatate filapina...

Hesekiels,

Blunderer is spot on. That's exactly why. And as for more than one girl, why not spread the wealth and help out another PH girl and a male friend of mine in the US who would also like...

I know this kind of question has been asked in one form or another, but i just feel STUCK and in disbelief that the answer has to be so difficult.

I want a girlfriend from the Phils to visit me on...

Not so sure I would say you can "own nothing". I own an outsourcing company 99.5%. I'm the president and I have a work visa 'cause it's registered with PEZA.

By the way, the company is...

The key with this is Trust. Any number of people on here could do something like what I propose. But it's true that if you have nasty guys on the fringes that could do bad to you and it could be...

Please advise of legality of the below and potential success. I am NOT advocating this, just trying to find out the 411.

A mid 30s to mid 40s year old guy has spent about 1.5 years of the past 3...

Trust me, I own a techie company there...it is not the holidays...the typhoon has skrewed up internet connections and phone lines big time. It's cost me 1000s USD.

I will caution that again I am going to cross post some of this in the Bangkok forum.

Been a long time since I did any kind of real “report”. This one really belongs somewhere in both the Thai boards and here.

Have spent 12 of last 28 months in Cebu. ALL other months in USA.
...

And where is that? In 12 months here, over a 2 year period, I've been with over 40 bar girls in JUST Cebu-- never another part of the country where I par-took in bars (usually brought my own if...

Great description of the weather!

With respect to AIDS the problem is that the pope says NO CONDOMS and cebu is VERY Catholic. Bargirls are quite smart about condoms, though. I'm sure a person...

Great advice. I agree the worste are those you don't expect and even THEY may not expect until their brother convinces them.

I had the sweetest thing for a part time GF. Then she started having...

You are spot on about all this, Good Enough. There are really a lot of great posts on this thread with info about the talent pool that is the sort that doesn't take their painties of for money.
...

EVERYONE says they spent time in uni-- I'm not that dumb. Even if I were dumb, after 12 full monthys of spending time in one Phils city with a limited number of bars you get at least some idea of...

A lot of the bright kids from mindinau will tell you that the "word is out" that Cebu is the place for them to go for a better job market.

I don't know the numbers of US companies coming in, but I...

A lot of this comes down to whether you have said "BYE!" to your western country. I've not intention of that. At least one trip a year back home. When you come back you bring all...

You know, I have two employees that I would trust as much of a sibling. They are very loyal people! But ANYONE in a DESPERATE situation will so bad things. So if your trust is with someone that is...

Here's my take on some costs:

Best deals are service related:

Haircut is I about $1 for same as a $15 cut in usa.
Legit message is one of best deals...yep, $5 and I recomment a GUY and let him...

CB,

I've always admired and learned a ton from all the great advise you've given on this board. Actually, I think you and I have a lot in common. Your family situation and mine is the same. ...

AHA!!! A fellow swashbuckler!!!! Yes wander you are what the SH calls a Swashbuckler, (Like most of the people on this board!) Do you read? Well get ahold of James Mitchner (Spelling?) Author of...
