Not sure if anyone is interested in this. Medical tourism?

It looks like the Philippines want to copy some of the success that Thailand had with medical tourism in the last few years. There they offer it kind of as a vacation. You come in for an operation in a first class hospital and after you're fit again its time to enjoy the beach.

Besides the advantages for the tourists it might also have a positive effect on the flow of medical personnel out of the Philippines. If the result would be that wages can be increased less doctors and nurses would be willing to go abroad.

I'm taking my first trip to the Philippines after 14 times to Thailand, and I would like to get some suggestions of where I should head when I reach Manilla,

I'm looking for some where I can find pussy in discos instead of bar fines. A place close to a beach would be preferable.

Also, whats the deal with non ***** action?

Thanks

Does anyone have any info on the Castle Peak Hotel in Cebu? It seems to have really good room rates. Is it close enough to all the action and worth booking? I'll be in the Philippines in March and I'm looking for an inexpensive but clean Hotel in Cebu. Castle Peak is at:

Thanks for any info you can provide.

well i am not sure ! but this happened to a friend of mine ! he was cuaght speeding in texas, returned to australia. went back to the usa and was refused entry at customs cos of the unpaid speeding fine and was forced to return to australia. so the computers in customs are linked to the fbi and police in texas!
my advice for him is not to take chance as he might find himslef arrested at the airport and no days with all the tight sercurity on terrists its all linked !! he might not even get on board locally as their copmuters might show this up to !!

Many thanks, Genius8- much appreciated.

I will be in Naga for a couple of days. Desperate for a contact for some action in hotel at night! Please PM me. I can reciprocate in Manila or in China.

My dumb question for the board is: do locals need some kind of picture ID to fly from Manila to Boracay? I know they don't have passports and probably not driver's licenses either- is there anything else that would suffice if something is indeed needed?

Do not buy from the guys on the street as I hear most of the crap they sell is counterfeit. If you cannot find someone at Mercury Drug, Rose Pharmacy or the like, go to any Dr. and pay him (or her) about 2 bucks and they'll give you a prescription. Then you can buy them at any pharmacy. The price is about PhP450 per pill.

Pretty much as I suspected -- thanks for the info, GE!

Thanks!
