Posts: 6836Flying time all wrong. Back to infrastructure
Flew from Butuan to Cebu. Scheduled flight time: 40 minutes. Actual time from nose-up to wheels-down: 22 minutes."Ladies and gentleman this is your captain speaking. We are cruising at 40, 000 feet, and begining our descent into Cebu." Can a plane climb from sea level to 40k, then land, in 22 minutes? Of course, if its piloted by James T. Kirk.
Flew from Cebu to Manila. Scheduled flight time: 75 minutes. Actual flight time from nose-up to wheels-down: 41 minutes (12:50. 1:31pm). Include in that a mid-field crossing directly above the manila airport at about 5000' (the old Cavite airfield clearly in view) , a turn out towards the sea for about 6 minutes, and a 180 to get back to the airport. This flight could easily have been shortened to 25-30 minutes. Why do they publish such lavishly long flight schedules on CP?

Posts: 4567What's your point Hutsori? I was thinking more like "naive K farmers" getting snuckered.

I don't think I was at all harsh in what I said.
If an improved economy means less easy access to sex for occasional tourists then that's just bad luck. I doubt much will change in my life-time though.

Posts: 4567Thanks for dashing in.
DD, you seem to have misread the posts.
RK didn't say "exploit", that was Hutsori quoting the media.
You also seem to misrepresent what was written in the original post by Sxxx . I'm guessing that Sxxx just used a poor choice of words. I basically agree with what Hutsori wrote.
To be fair, I do think RK's post was a bit harsh. And thanks for clarifying the fact that RK doesn't run the Philippines.
Thank you for reading my post and pointing out the typo. Hopefully this exchange is now finished. Feel free to pm me. X.
note: the SNIP is mostly common sense tipping info.

Posts: 360Hypocracy
Have to go with Sxxx and Hutsori here.
That Red Kilt, usually more contemplative if verbose, should criticize Sxxx's endorsement of a status quo over which he as no control, as if Sxxx was actively perpetuating the status quo is unusual. Neither Sxxx nor anyone else here runs the PI.
Xman's misspelt nonsense is par for the course for him and doesn't deserve a reasoned response.
Personally, I try to make it good for any girl, or indeed any person I meet in the PI. The only exception are taxi drivers. With the girls, its gifts, cash, and a nice experience. I know it is for me. For the doormen, waiters and average male Filipino, I appreciate their courtesy and generally upbeat attitude. I look to tip them whenever I can. If I get overcharged sometimes, I don't sweat it. Its part of the 'social contract' between a single male visitor like myself and the Filipino population.
Am I one of those 'exploiters' that the Kilt and those foolish tv documentaries focus on? I don't think so. I enjoy what the country has to offer. I don't overthink it and am acutely aware of my minuscule impact on a nation of 100 million. I think it was Natty Bumpo who once said that he tries to have fun with every personal interaction when in the PI. Hear hear!

Posts: 1685Welcome to PH.
Reliable info states, that, as per PH Law, the Mugindanao massacre suspects are trying to get an Affidavit from some of the Victims' kins, so that the case will be withdrawn and the blame pinned on the other vicitm. The Gov Mangadatu, whose wife and campaign team was massacred.
As per PH law, it is perfectly legal it seems, to do such a thing, and the suspects are heading in that direction, which may be finalised once a compensation plan is agreed to the 58 odd dead people's relatives (excluding the primary victim / candidate Mangadatu of course.)
Welcome to PH Law!

EDITOR'S NOTE: This report was deleted because it contributed nothing of value and in fact constituted a complete waste of bandwidth.
The purpose of this Forum is to provide for the exchange if information between men on the subject of finding women for sex. Let's stick to the subject.

Sxxx comment was an incredibly heartless and selfish thing to say. To condemn a whole population of people to endless poverty just so he can get his rocks off at bargain basement prices is disgraceful. The sad thing is that there are probably many guys here who will leap to his defence.
