These girls usually do not have jobs. Living with their parents and their social life is Partying with other young people in the barangay. Hearing from some friends they can make money from foreigners they join dating sites. They have no money to get proof of their identity. If I really like them after chatting cam to cam I do send money for them to get it. Most of the time I am not scammed. They know if they scam me for few pesos big payday will never come. Even some who confess being not of age fixed me up with their friends and cousins. I am generous if the girls are nice and friendly. Many have never been with foreigners.
Lately the hotel receptionist and security are very strict checking. There were instances where they found fake identities.

Looks like the admin has been kind enough to make me a Senior Member so I now have a private inbox.
I have posted before about the critical importance of having an Atty you can trust if ever you are unfortunate enough to get into trouble here in the Phils.
The case of the American guy who died earlier this month is a perfect example. The case he was fighting was ridiculously weak. The only evidence against him was that of a Downs girl who pointed to her mouth which was interpreted by her Shabu addict mum as oral rape. Anyone who took one look at the girl in question who was basically homeless, living in the streets, not washed for weeks, as well as suffering from Downs would immediately see that no one in their right mind would want to have any sexual contact with the girl. He ended up dieing because he didn't get a decent atty fast enough and when he did he had a stupid feud with him and the next one he got was murdered.
IMHO it is absolutely essential that anyone who spends any reasonable amount of time here has the names and numbers of a few more or less honest Attys specializing in criminal law in their phone book. If you plan to be here full time it would probably be worth preemptively establishing a relationship with one, but in any case you should have some names and numbers. Don't expect your Embassy to be able or willing to help in this situation, all they will do is give you a list of the most expensive top end generalist firms in the Philippines who are unlikely to want to take you on as a client or have the relevant skills. By and large if you are in one of the big cities Manila, Cebu or Davao you will be better off with a local lawyer. The quality of criminal lawyers outside the big cities is so low, you may find no reasonable alternative but to hire someone out of town. If you would like a list of reasonable Cebu Criminal lawyers, just PM me I'll put one together. Hopefully you will never need it, but like all insurance it's well worth having in case you ever do.

Mr OAW,
I have been bitten before.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
Have stopped playing with fire.
Hope our friends keep safe, and save their own lives.
Vic.

That is correct, work or school eye dee will not have date of birth; if it does, it was likely purchased on the street in Chinatown. There are alternatives to police clearance (there is no such thing as "police eye dee," except of course for police themselves): there is voter registration, free or cheap and needed to access local services, and with photo this is good proof of age 18. There is postal eye dee, used for banking. Also driver's license, etc. Also "barangay" or local neighborhood eye dee, but in place of this an 18 year old May as well have the voter eye dee.
Really, there is no excuse for someone age 18+ not to have at least a voter registration card. Absolutely no good excuse, she might be asked for proof of age when traveling, especially nowadays. And do check the photo that it's not her cousin.
Of course knowing filipinas, it may be that the card is declared "lost" because she does not want you to know her real name. In that case also, reject her.

It is well known there are lots of mothers and cousins looking to make money fronting pretty girls who are not of legal age. I have several contacts who when pressed say the girls who they will procure are under age. Hotels have gotten tougher now checking I. D. For a person who is living local having an apartment thinking it is okay to do whatever is very risky.
Let the big head do the thinking and be safe.

He should know better than to associate w minors, worse inviting her into his apartment w dubious intentions.
One of my friends were always targetting the minors, the next thing I do is severe all ties w him.
There was a girl wanting to be my gf, but when i found out she is 16, i declined.
If you want to risk, then be prepared to face the consequences.

Posts: 32Update Re American in Cebu Jail
A few months ago I posted about an American guy who had wound up in Cebu City Jail following a allegation by the mother of a downs girl he had let into has apartment. If you recall he had been cleared of the main charge but sentenced to "child abuse". Sadly he died at the beginning of this month. As many of you are probably aware the Jails in Phils are a hotbed for covid because of the insane overcrowding. They have found many hundreds of confirmed cases though IMHO most of the inmates will now be positive and asymptomatic. The guy developed a fever but they just kept him in the cell only sending him to hospital when it got very serious. He died a few hours later and was buried the next day. The death cert says "septic shock" but he was 51 and my guess is the are just using it as a cover to avoid media coverage. Sorry for the depressing news I know its not what you came to this site to hear, but it's worth being well aware of the risks of certain behaviours here.

I left Cebu City February 28th after spending the month there for work. With going back to ECQ indefinitely June 16th I don't think tourism will now come back til fall at best. More likely after Christmas. I'm back in NYC where it's seems under control but it's because we can be outside this time of year. Places like FLA basically ignored the virus and seem to be paying for it now. I'm not sure when I can get back to Cebu for work. And if I do it's likely a quarantine despite that I have been tested. I still think with 106-109 million people the Philippines is safer health wise but I wouldn't go back now with all these lockdowns on and off despite me missing the ladies.

The way things are looking in your place USA citizens will be banned for a long time from most places. Makes sense given the spikes in cases and the fact you have such great leadership handling a huge public health crisis like a baby in arms sucking his thumb.
Be safe my friend.

Cebu is being called out by the President as hear headed and people unable to follow the rules. I know a lot of people in Cebu are angry at others for basically ignoring the advice and warnings. - and there are some serious hotspots there (more along the SRP) but sadly many pinoys are 'hard headed' (to quote a cutie I know who is also upset at the ECQ being reimposed) and they seems intent on messing it up for everyone else.
Check your PMs please.
