So hopefully these lately increase of virus cases doesn't get worse, and it improves by the end of August. As long as it stays in GCQ I should be fine.

FYI.

Cases are still getting worse but it seems the Gov might put NCR on MGCQ and just let it all hang out.

Problem then will be that the hospitals will be swamped.

The MRT3 was suspended yesterday until further notice because a hot-spot emerged within the admins running the system as well as a few drivers. Closed until further notice.

Yes. All of Manila (that's "old" Manila inc Malate, Ermita, Paco, Binondo, Intramuros and Tondo) are seeing large spikes in infections.

I definitely wouldn't be liaising with anyone from those areas.

The other problem you might encounter is that those areas may well be totally locked-down by the time you are in the NCR. The Mayor Isko Mareno was on TV earlier syaing that he was thinking he will have to do that because of the infection rates.

OK Noted!

I will try to avoid girls from those places, so far I only have 1 from Tondo and 1 from Malate.

Most of my friends are from Makati, Taguig, Pasay, Pasig, Sta Ana (is Sta Ana consider old Manila), And also many of my friends are from Quezon City, which they said is not far to Makati by train (20 to 30 minutes trip). All of them are willing to meet me in Makati, but of course that's if it stays in GCQ, but if it goes back to ECQ and people need passes, then only the ones with a working pass will be able to come and meet me in Makati. I'm not naive of course, I know some of them will cancel or change their minds, but with my experience I know is a number games, the more contacts I have the more chances. So far is been working in Cebu and now is been working here in Negros during covid, so let's see how it goes in Manila. I know for sure in Manila there are more and more fishes in the sea.

Anyways I decided to delay my trip for a third time, I will go to Manila on end of August instead, just 2 weeks before my flight back to Canada.

So hopefully these lately increase of virus cases doesn't get worse, and it improves by the end of August. As long as it stays in GCQ I should be fine.

Great report re the state of the Philippines.

We were there in February and had a great time.

I guess patience is what everyone needs right now.

Here in lovely Melbourne things seem to get more crazy by the day.

Stay safe.

Cheers,

Lwd.

Well written, balanced report. I left AC in February to do some stuff in the USA, first trip back in years. We are seeing re-lockdowns here, but I can still go outside, ride a city bus to Walmart and shop, no check points, etc. IMHO, there is no perfect place in the new COV-idiocy world. It is what it is; I'm in the USA now and I'm OK with it. My next stop will probably be Mexico, Lake Chapala.

How about getting her to join ex-pat filfipina groups in London?

Thanks PilotP. I've pointed her in the direction of social communities, but I'm finding that the other Filipina exports are rather conservative. But will keep trying there.

Thanks for the input too Pedro. Noted!

Thanks Pilot. We gave the expat social communities a try, but I found that generally people are a little more reserved once out of country.

I will keep looking. Thanks anyhow.

It seems that Pedro is a little frustrated about life. Poor little fella.

Hello all,

I've happily been locked-down in London with my lovely girl from Fields. Fortunately she arrived for a holiday pre-covid and is happy to stay put for a while here. I've been enjoying all-access on-tap for the duration. So I've got no complaints. For sure may send her back at some point. However, I'm wondering if I might spice things up a little and try to find another couple who are in a similar situation. I would be open to a bit of same room fun or similar adventure. Covid safe of course. Does anyone have any tips on where one might find gents with their 'Subic / Fields / Makati' girlfriends in London UK? Maybe there could possibly be some well-known cafes or restaurants? Any tips welcome.

What happened to the Thai muffer you were passing round here? http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...orts&p=2288354#post2288354 Maybe she could give some pointers as most of us are not up to your standards. Good luck with the well-known cafes or restaurants, which seem tailor made for a Playboy fantasy letter. Lots of Pinays hanging about London cafes waiting on Covid geriatrics to hump them. No doubt your little tiger is straining to let loose and spread her love juices all over London. Good win by Spurs tonight. I'd say Messi will stay at Barca. I bet she loves chocolate, and marshmallows of course.

To all the guys not in the Philippines who are desperately checking ISG Phils thread daily to see when you can get back here as quickly as possible:

Let me assure you that you don't want to be here right now despite having 100's of girls on line offering you all manner of promises for what you will be able to do with and to them when you get here (for a price of course).

Most shops are still closed. Very few people around, and those locals that are around are very leery of foreigners (since they are known carriers of deadly international germs LOL).

Most hotels have strict quarantine provisions so you will not be having an endless stream of visitors. Condos have strict regulations for visitors, and every barangay council has its own set of rules. For example, if you are over 60 you can walk down one street but if you cross the road into another barangay you can be stopped and fined. You can also be fined if you don't wear a mask, and the locals will quickly report you too.

The new terrorism bill passed last week makes it much easier for LE to charge foreigners for any sort of misadventure (even if it's an accident). Don't believe any desperate women who say that everything is OK now. It's not.

My regular massage woman wants me to let her come to my condo even though my condo is relaxing visitor rules from this weekend, but I know she lives in one of the hot-spot areas and I don't want her in my place getting all close and personal right now. She has not been tested but she assures me she has not had any contact with the virus.

Of course she doesn't know that.

Thankfully I have my own condo and I haven't moved further than 2 blocks from home in the past month and don't plan to do so.

Life in PH now is very much different to how it used to be in February 2020.

Cool your jets guys. Take cold showers and resign yourself to the fact that you shouldn't come to the Phils for at least 3 or 4 more months.

In mid June I was expecting Cebu City to go to MGCQ and to see some areas on new normal. The reversion of Cebu City to ECQ was unexpected as I thought the worse would be stay as it was.

I would be happy under MGCQ if the dive operato0 rs were open and the over 60 restriction was not enforced.

The Barretto bars are starting to open. The over 60 crowd seem to be moving freely as that is the majority of the expats that live here. How many under 60 retirees in Barretto 7 or 9? Nine people can't support the bars LOL. Travel from AC has been relaxed but even still there won't be many customers. It was slow before the travel ban and Covid thing. Beer prices went up as the government imposed a tax rate increase but I don't think that extra 10 pesos is going to deter very many. There will be about 10 of the regular bars open by tomorrow. I guess this will be interesting. Stay tuned.

I think the keyword here is "guess" none of us have a clue right now. As things are loosening up slightly it could go the other way as it has in Cebu. Only time will tell.

I think you are a little optimistic there RK. My guess, and it is just a guess, is that we will be under some form of community quarantine until after that. Internal movement will remain difficult until into the New year.

If a vaccine was discovered today, one that was 100% effective and safe. It would take at least several months for it to be rolled out and administered to sufficient people world wide to allow a return to a semblance of normal.

The lingering economic impact will last until well into 2021 if not into 2022.

Nice common sense report RK. Some just don't get it. They will read the attached link from the Inquire today and think life is back to normal but they won't read the last part of the article that says they can't enter. Plus if over 60 as some are they spend lots of cash to sit in a hotel alone eating pinoy food (assuming they can get in!) LMFAO.
