Planning a trip in early March. Haven't been in about 10 years. Anyone have suggestions as to where to find the best airfare from the Westcoast to Manila? Got enough FF miles to get to a major westcoast airport.

I'm married to a Filipina.

I was there twice the last 2 years for 10 weeks.

Never meet any kind off trouble.

Only the Mindanau region can be dangerous.

I was in Manilla 4 weeks, no problems.

Cebu also

Hi guys,

I'm planning a trip to the phillipines soon but a lot of my friends tell me that it is extremely unsafe. Is this so? My Fillipino pals tell me that parts of the country is like the wild west. And there are a lot of kidnappings.

I've never been there but would like to go as I think the women there are amongst the prettiest in the world.

I'm planning to come back in the Philippines for the second time, after 4 years (01-2000) - I'm looking any information about prices and nightlife in Puerto Galera (Sabang) and Boracay.

I remember 3 go-go bar in Sabang. Are them still open? Boracay was already expensive 4 y ago, but I remember some nice discos on the beach and the Charlie's Bar for a beautiful Sunset.

Thanks for any info.

CHARITY:

If it helps feed needy children, I'm all for it! Prostitution is a whole different issue. The girls are of age and can make their own moral choices. No one here is advocating forced prostitution. If they want to play, then we come and pay. This has nothing to do with another form of charity that helps feed innocent starving children!

I think using a forum such as this to help promote donations is a fine idea. The reason is simple. Many of us mongers have traveled to these places and have seen first hand some of the despair these children face, so we are more likely to give. Nothing wrong with that. As for paying for sex, if an adult women, so chooses to sell her body, then it's her CHOICE, on the other hand a starving child, has no choice!

I don't have too much to add, just that maybe you should use your 28 yrs of experience to get a job with TGIFridays, or Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, or any big U.S. firm that does business in the PI and need a sales or marketing manager.
Try Global Gateway's International section for jobs. Do a search on it.

The only other thing I can think of is hotel management, or something like that, or do marketing or sales for a big hotel corp.

Cell phones are big there....apply to Nokia.

If your're in the US now, look for a Fil-Am (Filipino-American) Chamber of Commerce or something.
cheers, Lalake

I'm not sure whether or not this is the appropriate section for this question, but being new here I'll just go for broke.

I'm at a place in my life where I will be forced to change careers at 53 years of age. I will re-entering college for additional schooling for whatever career I select soon. My question is this: Being very fond of the Philippines through only one trip in the early 70's, and reading many of the posts on here, I am determined to enter into whatever career will afford me opportunities to visit the Philippines every so often. I have been in sales/marketing for the past 28 years, in the midwestern U.S.

Can anybody tell me what businesses or career opportunites would be most likely to afford opportunites to travel to the Philippines based on which companies/industries customarily do business with that country? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as I will be determining my career objective in the very near future.

Redcork,
you may not know this, but, the site was down for almost 10 days. You may notice that there are NO postings from 04Sept to 13 Sept.

As for your other posts, I can't comment on addiction or nurses. Sure you can find any filipina to hang out with you as long as you want. But the odds of finding a bona fide nurse to do that are not that good.

If I can make a suggestion: Go to BKK, and take a trip to Cha-Am or Hua Hin. The best golf in Asia is there, and you can relax on the beach and snorkel. I love the PI, and am fluent in Tagalog. But the resorts PI have gone to hell (in my opinion), and the resorts in Thiland are better.
good luck
Lalake

Hello board , it has been along time since anyone has made any postings here or in the phillipines section. Why? Is it because no one is in the phillipines anymore ? or This board is no longer being used by fellow pooners ? This section should have postings everyday. Is it because it is slow? Lets be honest without offending please. Anyways i see this board slowly dying and i don't think it should go that way , so let's support it and post your experiences and info please.

[Red Cork]

As a new member to this board , and learning how it works. I would at this time like to thank Jackson for all his work. I ignorantly flamed WSG not knowing how it works. It has been a source of valuable info for me as I travel. I have only just begun posting.

Thank you all for your postings also.

Regards

Redcork.
ps. Also , if you are a veteren traveller to the Phillipines , i would appreciate a comment to my other post.
Thanks again , and happy safe travelling and pussy hunting .

Hello board

I have been reading this board for a while now, and believe it is one of the most informative, honest and freindliest I have read.

Now a big question, and I do need some help. I'm 56 in good shape, play golf and still love my pussy, which reminds of a joke:

What is the difference between **** and pussy? A pussy is a soft, warm, furry little thing, and a **** is the ***** that ownes it!

Okay, back to biz: I am addicted to lorazapam. and I need to get off the shit. The doc says the best thing is to get away from my normal stressful world of x wifes, kids, and my business. It takes 2-3 months to really clean up off this super addictive drug. going to Betty Ford or a clinic is cost prohibitive. I am very familiar with Thailand, but do not like the droves of tourists and the seedy scene like in Pattaya, nor the fact that you cannot have a conversation with most girls. I think what I am looking for is a place to rent a bungalow on a beach that is quiet and very safe, with amenities close by eg. good food, internet, some entertainment.

I'm thinking from my research (Puerto Gallera area) now the biggy, a pretty little nurse :) someone who can hold and administer my drug, and slowly lower the doseage until I'm clean. If I have control, I can't do it. Yes, it is that addictive, so if I have a pretty little nurse to watch over me for 2-3 months, then maybe she can double duty. So, what I need is a pretty spinner in her twenties or early thirties who is honest and needs a job for a few months. Obviously I will pay all her expenses and treat her very well. I'm not Cheap Charlie. I will pay her well and give a large bonus incentive tip in the end if she is successful.

I like to golf, swim, snorkel, I believe all of this can be found near Puerto Gallera?

Thank you in advance,

Redcork
