Posts: 451It is expensive. The guy can fly from Angeles. But some tourists do like the view and the journey and the full trip experience.

Posts: 451Just a quick internet search:
"This article quoted official Australian figures and explained that nearly 400 tourists a year (0.01%) die visiting Australia. While most of the deaths are attributed to accidents and health-related issues, the article stated that during the review period, 22 persons died from an unlawful assault or, in other words, were murdered (Guardian 2003)".
FWIW, all these numbers are less than where I came from and am fairly accustomed to. I am always aware of my surrounding so, knock on wood, I have been fairly safe. So, for me, I feel safe doing my activities with the necessary precautions, regardless of where I am. For those who don't feel safe in the PI, my best advice is stay away. Stay far away. Go to safer places.

Posts: 451FWIW, this is a quote:
"Mexico, for example, has been issued the most travel warnings between 2009 and 2016, with a total of 28. Mali is in second place with 26, then Israel with 25, Pakistan with 25, and Iraq with 24. If you compare that to the number of American tourist deaths in the same time span—filtered to only include homicides, executions, and terrorist attacks—Mexico does, in fact, come out on top with 598 Americans killed."
You can also search "Forbes Man accused of killing Italian tourist mistakenly released."
I fear the number of tourists "ending" in US is probably quite high. I noticed that my rentals in FL tend to be better disguised after numerous incidents over the years.
I feel a lot safer in PI (and Asia) than in many parts of the US and Mexico. You will get a bullet for your shoes or sunglasses. Yes, I did visit the the border towns and EP.

Posts: 168This was one of the worst American tourist killings during my time coming to the Phils. This guy who had never been out of his home state of Tennessee was gunned down by tandem team on a motorcycle in the "no man's land" that used to exist between the old Europhil Hotel and the Lewis Grand. For whatever reason, the guy ended up there, was shot and staggered back and collapsed on that little bit of lawn in front of the LGH and died on the way to the hospital. And, to top it off, Philippine officials gouged the grieving family on the expenses in returning the body.

Posts: 451NI, many responses already. FWIW, I usually fly, though I query how much safer that is in the end should something go wrong. If you are not on a schedule I suspect you will be fine. If you are on a schedule, flying back a couple days early might be suggested. Ferrys in the PI do sink or get cancelled. Weather is more a factor depending on when you plan to travel. I am a good swimmer but I not sure if I can make it to shore even with a BCD, Then there is my fear of abandonment like what happened to several tourist divers in Australia.

Bus to Batangas is just under 200, ferry is 550 one way or 1000 round trip and terminal fee is less than 100 total for both ends. (varies depending on where you disembark.) So total about 800.

Posts: 15925Or you could go spend the night in Manila and stay at City-State Hotel. There is a bus that leaves there every morning that goes to Batangas. Then you transfer to the boat to Sabang. I think the package deal was 600 pesos. Don't quote me. Been a few years since I went. It was probably the best scuba diving I have done in PI. As for anything else you are not really missing anything.

Posts: 1056The Case of the Missing Condoms.
Last night, brolly in hand like a short sword, I ventured down via jeepney to Checkpoint at about 9 pm. Crossing the road, I passed three yobs lurking in the shadows waiting to mug someone. I picked my way down to Walking Street and back up again, with two sperm buckets in tow.
This is no easy task. The rain, the dark, the absence of lights and proper pavements, the lumps and holes and bumps and unlit trikes on the footpath make it a hazardous and frustrating task, so much so that by the time I got to Walking Street, I picked up the two freelancers at 1 k each long time just to get it over with.
I fed them as I know these buckets never have money (one had one peso and the other 5 pesos; this is normal). They spoke to each other in Tagalog non stop and I knew I was on a bummer. After beers in my room, it should have been down to business but these women of good virtue did not do blow jobs and insisted on condoms and a degree of privacy. I got rid of them at about 1 am and paid them the tariff with a small and undeserved tip for wasting my time and my sperm.
Imagine my horror the next morning when I discovered I was missing 7 cheap Pinoy condoms. The pretty one, who drank more than I did, told me her aunt, a nurse, warned her about AIDS and UTI (I have never heard one of these lovely providers mention UTI before). But that is no excuse to steal my condoms.
Trying to talk money sense into these women is a waste of time. The previous night, I walked out of a Perimeter Road bar as I was as unhappy with the price of the ladies' drinks as the ladies were with their lot in life. Instead of concentrating on being nice to Pedro, they focus on nickle and diming for ladies' drinks and short timing. That is not the way to health, wealth and prosperity. They should concentrate on getting the big buffalo, not on chilling with their workmates.
Last night's flops shared a room with 8 others, each paying 250 PHP a week, no pillows or bedding included. Pretty face told me some of her room mates, those with pillows and such luxuries, will bonk anyone and anything to get PHP and that several of them have AIDS. Both of them were 20 and each said they never had a proper job, not ever as a waitress of whatever.
I just treated myself to a big meal in the American Veterans of Foreign Wars place, which seems to have lots of ex 'Nam and Korea guys on their last legs. Food helpings are huge, pork chops are the big seller. Waitress told me she has been there 5 years, she has a HR degree and all jobs, especially call centres, are like hens' teeth.
When I jeepneyed home last night with my two pieces of excess baggage, the Iglesia ni Christo had them packed to the rafters. I doubt many of them pound what passes for the pavements of Walking Street.
I make a point of asking the ladies I hook up with how much money they have in their pockets and when last they ate. The results are depressing. If the women find it so hard to get a customer, imagine how the muggers lurking in the shadows feel.
If the godfathers who run Pampanga had any sense, they would spend some serious money on infrastructure, make the bars more welcoming (to part fools from their money) and take other lessons from Thailand. Instead, it is all chaos, much like the Japanese must have found it when they took over in the early 1940's (though I doubt they would have tolerated the messy conditions and bombed out side walks).
I will be on the prowl tonight with money to spend but they don't make it easy. No wonder all of these providers can have zero expectations in life.

Had an interesting couple of nights this week (so far).
Via wechat have been chatting to a new contact. Mother, one son. She works at Robinson's mall somewhere and is keen for us to meet, if I can just meet her directly from work. The thought of collecting a mall girl that's been on her feet for a 10 hour shift and then expecting a stellar performance didn't really excite me. I have been to Robinsons here in AC a few times just to go to the department store. The mall is not that big and not that exciting. I didn't see any assistants that stood out.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was her OFF but I had work. I decided I would meet her on Monday night, do the qualifying and if suitable follow her up on Tuesday. I don't want to wait until Tuesday night to find our she's not a goer.
It's a good sign that she is legit when she is worried about where to meet and being seen. We decide on Friendship Jollibee which is far fro her work. Can it be any further? Any way, I turned up there 9:30 pm Monday expecting her to be late. She had to leave work at 8, get home, get changed and get to Friendship. She arrived about 9:45, not too bad and I know she is motivated. Nice face, standard Filipino one child body. No longer super slim, fattening hips but not "fat" as such. Nice lady that is trying hard and knowing that she has to play for pay. I'm happy to meet her again as it's always exciting to find out what performance is under the hood.
Tuesday afternoon after my work she arrives at my apartment at 6. Standard small talk. Had rice and adobo reheated out of the reference. She is a little nervous but then in the silence after the meal she decides to ask to use the bathroom and chooses the bathroom off my bedroom. Of course she could have chosen the one next to the lounge but the bathroom choice sens a good signal. While she goes in there I relocate to lying / sitting on my bed and reading a book. When she comes out she just comes over and sits on the bed beside me. Takes off her shoes and leans against me. Then the real fun begins.
She is obviously doing this a bit more than her shyness shows. Enthusiastic in initiating once the lights are off. Great in BJ. She was happy to collect the first load and said it still had a jollibee taste. Shaved pussy. She stayed the night then just left now about 4:30 a. I have a theory that the non-professional girls like to get home so they are there when the kid (or husband) wakes.
I gave her P1500 for upcoming school supplies plus a grab taxi to get home.
Have a great day everyone.
PL.
