Posts: 340Sometimes tap lines build up microbes if they are not cleaned regularly. In the PI, I doubt many are cleaned regularly. Could this be the cause of your gastric distress? Do you end up on the can when you only drink from the bottle, too?
Don't blame the server. Independent thought is frowned upon in a lot of Asian cultures. He is just doing what his boss said, even if he didn't quite understand the instructions.
But yeah, avoid draft beer. You will feel better in the mornings.

Posts: 451Well, for the record. I am staying off the 737 MAX. And staying away from the 787 Dreamliner for the next 5+ years. All the below information is from the NYT, WSJ, and some videos of the FAA congressional testimony. Not sure if 100% correct but google it.
- the Ethiopian pilot had over 8,000 hours.
- Ethiopian Airline have a MAX simulator.
- about 2 weeks ago group of US pilots were at Boeing on the MAX simulator to duplicate the suspected problem that lead to Lion Air and Ethiopian Airline crashes. It was found that the pilots had to fix the problem in 40 seconds.
- a Lion Air pilot on the jump seat the day before the Lion crash resolved a similar MCAS issue.
- the MAX training and manuals did not mention the MCAS.
- Boeing was offering aircraft safety features as options. I. e. Pilot oxygen masks.
- Southwest and American opted for the MCAS warning light. United did not.
- 1 in 3 flights in the US are on a 737 variant.
- the 737 requires pilots to reference manuals to solve issues; I assume printed though could be iPad digital. Unlike newer tech whereby on screen prompts and links and check procedures are displayed and allow the person to navigate though a checklist and diagnosis procedure.
- Boeing certified for the FAA many safety checks. This came under the Obama FAA era.
- the 787 was grounded after launch because of fire / overheating and then certified safe under the same FAA / Boeing relationship.
IMHO, there is a fundamental design and flight envelope issue with the 737 MAX. As well as the 737 not having the latest safety and avionic features and designs. Not all pilots grew up as Bush pilots flying DC3's.
But to be on subject. I wonder if she is mad at me.
For FordTruck. This is what a pinay pussy and butt should look like.

Posts: 48Decent Beer in Philippines
I'm back in the RP after a couple of years absent. In the past, I have consumed large quantities of SanMig pilsen and SanMig Light and came to the conclusion that it was causing problems with my bowels. I would drink it anyway, just to support the local economy. The first SanMig always tasted good if ice cold. If they serve warm beer with ice cubes it tastes horrible, but you have to drink it out of respect. Drinking many SanMig (light or otherwise always left a chalky taste in my mouth).
So I started a search for good drinkable beers other than SanMig or Red Horse. At first I thought the Philippine beer situation had finally been resolved, but I was wrong.
I found Heineken but then discovered it was brewed under supervision in Laguna. It did not taste like Heineken I buy in the US.
Next I found Bud in bottles. I thought finally I nailed it. But on inspection it was Budweiser brewed under authority, in Vietnam. Bud, in a communist country we fought trying to preserve democracy? Anyway, it didn't taste like real American Bud. I know, you will be telling me Bud is owned by a Belgian company, Interbrew, but at least in the states, Bud tastes like Bud.
Then I found Stella. Once again I was disappointed. It didn't taste like the Stella we get in the US. It was made in Malaysia or Indonesia or something.
I found Tiger light, which I thought was a Malaysian beer or Singaporean beer, but it turned out to be brewed in Laguna, and was a cheaper version of SM Light. No chalky taste though, but then, no taste at all.
In a chinese or korean store close to Century City in Makati I found Bud in cans but on close inspection, other than the standard world renowned Bud label, it was all in Chinese and I couldn't read where it was brewed. I did determine it was 3. 6 % alc by volume. I tasted it and decided the sink in the CR needed the rest. I left the other three cans in the fridge for the next unsuspecting guest in the room.
On a positive note, I found real Corona Extra from Mexico. More expensive, but the real thing. Doesn't taste the same with kalamansi instead of lime though.
There are some genuine brewed in Europe beers here, like Pilsener Urquell, and various real Belgian Chimay style beers, if you go for that sort of thing.
Now, if someone could tell me where we could buy real American or even Canadian beers, I might spend less time in the CR with my SanMig irritated bowels.
I just want to pass on my experience at a bar on DC Palanca street in Makati. I dropped in for a couple of brews on a Thursday night. I noticed the San Mig draft taps and asked the server for a San Mig draft. He pointed to the sign that said San Mig draft was 2 for 1 during happy hour. I said its fine, I know happy hour is over, I'll pay the non happy hour price. He replied, you can only buy it during happy hour. I asked if they had any left, yes, he replied. I said I would pay full price. He said sorry Sir, only 2 for 1 in happy hour. Not available now. Only in the RP
Cheers.

Amazingly, the late Tony Bordain did a show on the PI a while back when he was on the Travel Network and I remember him singling out Pampanga as a great foodie province. Of course, he went to only a couple of restaurants and was entertained by some famous local chiefs that I never heard of. I wonder if Tony or his crew visited Fields Ave. Ha Ha. They probably did!

Posts: 6781Filipino food.
Lots has been said about how bad this though a few with odd taste buds think the fare cooked up here has culinary quality and taste LOL.
This article tries to spin the food into something you must try / bucket list but IMHO some of the list would put you six feet under before the bucket list was completed LOL.

Am sure I read somewhere Filipino food ranked near last on some foodies list but I am not sure when / if I read it or just my dislike of most of the food. Lechon is fine but there the list can end many times for me LOL.

You got to read those threads and then ask better questions. The answer to your questions is yes.

But some basic advice I need would be, which city to go to? Cebu? Manila?
Will it help to get a local phone?
What are the best hunting grounds? Some guys swear by the mall, others go to bars.
Thanks!
