Now that we have beat the hell out of 600 pesos. The price of a good meal plus 100 peso tip.

Why would a girl just take enough pesos for a one way ticket and possibly get stranded? 600 sounds fair for a round trip including meals and taxis.

If you can't afford to risk 600 pesos then don't do it.

However I will disagree with province girls being able to scrum p500, that might be out of the question.

500 peso loan from the Barangay captain, they can get that. Although it's supposed to be for emergencies, and might come with some questions, and a little interest.

[WestCoast1]

If they can't scrum up 500 php (as you say) to get to where I am then it is a no-go. If you do send it, you must plan on never seeing the money or the girl again.

I think it goes without saying that you shouldn't send any amount of money that will keep you up at night should the girl not show up. P500 is small and I suggested it as it won't keep VH up at night if he loses it. However I will disagree with province girls being able to scrum p500, that might be out of the question.

I have girls come to me by tricycle in Manila and I pay the driver when they arrive. From another island? Then I say they have to pay their way to where I am or it is a no-go, simple as that.

I am with you on the tryke. I give round-trip jeep fare (once I know where she's coming from, its easy to calculate), nothing more.

From another island? Never for a new girl. Girls must be broken in several times on their own island before I allow travel. Even then, I buy the ticket, don't send the traveling girl money to buy the transport. Many province girls won't stay at a hotel in their hometown with a foreigner for fear of the community finding out. I stay at a nearby town (Like VH is doing) and bus her over to me. I think VH has set himself up in a weak position by not bringing his own entertainment. One doesn't go to the province away from Luzon / Cebu just to meet a new cutie and bring her to a different city.

My MO is to never, ever, send any amount of money whatsoever to anyone before I have met them. It has served me well. If they can't scrum up 500 php (as you say) to get to where I am then it is a no-go. If you do send it, you must plan on never seeing the money or the girl again. Then if it happens you won't be disappointed!

I have a 18 year old that I have verified.
Any advice? Vic.

How lonely do you have to get to do this? Why do stories like this sound insane? And, why do guys keep doing it? Last January, in Naval, Biliran to take the Juan Air flight to Cebu, when it arrives and passengers coming into Biliran all leave except one guy who's just standing there, looking around, and trying to make calls on his phone. Initiating conversation, it comes out he's from Philadelphia, is there to see a girl he met online, and he's never been to the Philippines. And, he came all the way to Biliran, a province in the middle of nowhere, and at a time when a typhoon just took the bridges out (hence no van-van to Tacloban). Amazing. We gave him name of a hotel, and boarded with him still standing there.

Thanks MOG,

I appreciate the you and frank advice.

No offense taken as we are always smarter learning from experiences of other masters.

Anyways, my boss just got sick, so I might have to do some rescheduling. It was just interesting to get cold calls from girls wanting to travel hundreds of kms just to meet me.

An airconditioned bus from San Carlos to Bacolod should not cost more than 100 -150 P.
A bus without airconditioning (which they often prefer) even less.
For comparison: an airconditioned bus from Manila (Makati) to Angeles is only about 150 P, and that is even a greater distance.

Furthermore I think 4500 P is quite a lot for a 'provincial' girl from Negros. That's for LT I suppose?

All in all it sounds like a scam to be honest. Or she's just trying to get the most out of an ignorant tourist (no offense).

[WestCoast1]

She is asking for 4500 P, then I bargained 1500 P, then 600 P to come meet in Bacolod.

It was an interesting chat.

I told her that I would just send 600 P, a one way trip according to her by bus, and would pay her a taxi fare to go back to San Carlos.

I am with Mog's. The amounts of money she is asking for are off-based, too much. OTOH to make the girl's case, she is traveling away from the fam to meet someone new; there are difficulties and dangers involved for the girl. To go further than Mog's, I would assume the girl is staying with you for several days / nights at that price. These kinds of send-money-bring-girl-first-time often go south, where after the money is sent, the girl makes every excuse at the last minute not to get on the bus.

Consider to proceed as such: Tell her you will send her 500 for travel (that's enough for aircon bus + foods if needed while she is on the road; the bus often stops here and there for potty break + food). You will again pay her for return travel when her time is completed. You will also give her the remainder of whatever money previously agreed upon at the morning of her departure (say, 5 k or 6 k, etc) .

VH, will PM you.

Dear mongers,
I have a 18 year old that I have verified by videocall, who is wanting to come meet me from San Carlos called CHAREMAE.
Anyone has had experience with this lady?

You mean the sleazy Arab's hands wander all over the Pinay's ass? There's always news articles in the Straights Times of Singaporean madams torturing Indonesian maids.

Can be much worse. In Kuwait found one in freezer, in Saudi all sorts [CodeWord123] and then shared to family members, or no sleep (or very short hours), no days off, and the agency will cut the agreed salary by 50% (which is illegal but they no clue) and the agency has pinoys who screw them over. Lots more I have heard and seen. I have helped a few when asked as they have no mobile and through their friends they find ways to escape, some die in the trying as fall from balconies. All sorts and is why I tell all pinays never be a DH in the Middle East unless is western family (IE native western not Arab American).

But nice cute girl on Viber. No pinay love account because "phone not enough space for app" she said BTW that she found me on pinay love. A lot of belong I guess.

Found the conversation just interesting.

Vic.

[Engine Driver]

Also you did not say what job and hopefully not a DH job as loads issues with pinay DH and Arab families

Dear Sir WR.

Thanks for all the expert advice.

Any chance to advice on approximate payment schemes plan for bringing FL to beaches for 3 days.

What is the normal Do's and don't's. As well.

If you prefer, in PM mode.

Thanks in avance, Vic.

If you need more information best PM as 25 k is too high and agency is taking a huge cut. Passport. She has to do herself and is 2000 pesos or thereabouts (the DFA web site did have the prices and times) but getting an appointment has been tricky in some places.

Also you did not say what job and hopefully not a DH job as loads issues with pinay DH and Arab families.

Best PM and we take it offline if you like.

[Wicked Roger]

25000 I think is the total price. Including passport, visa fees, agency fee, certain government fees etc. Couple of years ago I went with my GF at that time to one of those agencies on Mabini street. .

RK advise is sound and I have helped people get the paperwork etc and is not 25 k Sammon. There are fees for requirements (which I never understand) and the government asks they pay up for some seminar etc POEA I think (I helped a lady recently and was less than 1000 pesos). So if 25000 either she is ripping you off or is being taken advantage of (not surprisingly the pinoys in Saudi screw over their own very happily).

Try Saudi I love the place and easy to get a girl into the room. Trust me I know as had a few pinay nurses in my time who e more scared of going back to my compound then a nice hotel.

25000 I think is the total price. Including passport, visa fees, agency fee, certain government fees etc. Couple of years ago I went with my GF at that time to one of those agencies on Mabini street. She had a passport and certificates for a nursing assistant job. She was interviewed right away and offered a job in Saudi Arabia. Pay was $500 a month and free accommodation and transport to work. And contract for two years and flight ticket round trip. Initially I told the girl to go in and talk herself and after she got the job I wanted the breakdown of 15000 pesos the agency wanted. They did write it down. Do not know where it is now. I was ready to give 15000 and the girl wanted to ask her family first before committing. She went back to the province. Her family dissuaded her and she backed off. I am still in touch with her but not seeing her. In between she met a foreigner and has a baby with no child support. Guy vanished into thin air. Now she regrets having not taken the job.

I would not go to Saudi Arabia for mongering trip. Dubai is better although I do not like the chip on their shoulders. I like down to earth girls.
