Back to the dating site: I check it twice weekly, just to look at the new gals. I get a few messages each week, but unless a girl is extremely hot, throws herself at me, and can meet at the coffee shop near me, I am just not interested in a meetup. The conversations are short-lived on the dating site. After the first 10 minutes of questions (not unlike in gogo bars), there isn't really much to talk about online (and the girls are of the same opinion). I have dated several of them (once), but I've stopped. No need to disrupt the 'regular' gravy train at this point.
I have had several dating site girls in the past 2 months offer both themselves and their friends, as soon as they could move the conversation from the dating site to WhatsApp.
Regarding economy. Taxi's (and Grab taxis) are in desperation mode. At malls, they often line up 30 deep, before the mall opens, and wait a good chunk of the day for a customer. If you take note of the second or third car in line as you walk into a mall for an hour's lunch and grocery shopping, you might find that that car has moved up one or two spots as you leave. While malls reopened and most stores in the malls are open, foot traffic is 20% of normal (hence, not enough customers). One driver recognized me as he'd taken me several places, from my hotel to a distant mall for groceries, or back. The normal price is about p160 each way. He gave me his phone number and offered to pick me up at my hotel anytime and take me there for p120. He said he would even wait for me to shop or lunch and return me to my hotel for p250. Things are tight. There is a fast-food kiosk in the mall hallways you have seen before, about 5 of them in the malls in town. Only 3 have re-opened, and of the previous 30-ish employees, 10 are now back working (and rotating days of the week, as in M / W / Friday or T / Th / Saturday). Construction guys same: of those who are working, its two weeks on, one week off (or alternately they rotate days of the week). Security guys at the malls, same.

Posts: 116Post Covid observations
Had my 50th trip to Phil and left end of Jan 2020 after 30 days. This trip went to Cebu, Tacloban, Samar and Davao. All good meetups. I usually go 4 times a year for a month each trip but now stuck in this pussy wasteland of course, with the only enjoyment of chats on filipino cupid, whatsapp, skype and FB. Seems these days its just for entertainment value as we can't plan meetings at malls or get into more personal plans. I chat and seem to have good feelings going both ways but then after a few chats we both just stop. Maybe we are all getting depressed after so long with no real hope of this ending, and travel can resume. One positive note is any pics you see in their profile that have masks on you know are fairly recent. LOL.

Yes, my experience with Juan was very positive on several trips but I raised them as a proof of concept rather than suggesting that specific airline. As you said, they can't be used anymore even if you want to. There are several more options available, even seaplanes to islands, if you do go ahead.
Enjoy. G.

Air Juan actually gets horrible ratings seems to have a lot of unhappy campers that flew or lack there of, I guess moral of the story is don't ever expect a refund from Air Juan it looks like they are totally shutdown right now I wonder if they will even open back up. I'm glad you had a relatively good experience, this is something that is on my bucket list. I don't know if it will be with Air Juan but always good to have a few more options I didn't even know Air Juan existed.

Yes, very convenient point to point and yes, cost was very reasonable being close to what is paid for a decent charter car & boat hire.
Enjoy. G.

ABC does have a rooftop pad but I believe it is weight limited. I do know some customers who took the chopper option but their checked luggage came by road.
Your luggage weight for the smaller R44 will also be a problem if you have a few of you and 30 kgs luggage per person.
If you really want some aviation adventure PH style then consider a multi-stop trip around Luzon or the other islands. This is what I was investigating when I was there.

One of our banks was busted by the regulator last week and fined $1.3 billion. First they let the Muslim terrorist types send money through over-the-counter teller transactions to ISIS so they can keep blowing up US Marine humvees. Then they let sick mongers send money to pimps in Flipsville for various dubious purposes. Apparently the bank should have been more alert since they were small, regular transactions going to Flipsville. There should have been an automatic alarm. Hahaha. I wonder if any ISG mongers are embroiled in this? The Philippines seems to attract the most unsavoury types on the planet.

If all countries were ranked according to generosity, the US would lead the pack and be the best 'Giver'. The Philippines, on the other hand, would be at the bottom of the pile and be the best 'Taker'. I can't think of anything good to come out of the Philippines apart from balut and may be cheap labor to crew the world's merchant cargo fleet! Nope, I'm not going to include call centres as most of the LBFMs who work those are bird brained nincompoops who can't solve the most basic problem. Hahaha. And grown men are going ape-shit over this corrupt, third world shithole? Seems like most will die without getting their marshmallows sucked one last time. Hahaha.

Posts: 405Air Taxi Phil
I have been making so much money lately that this has become reasonably priced now as funny as that sounds my question is has any one tried this? You can scoff at it all you want but I hate being stuck in manila traffic and the ride to subic is horrendous.
They say that the flight time is cut down because there is no formal check in you show up and within 15-30 mins you are in the air. I know that the cost is what it is I'm not asking how to get to these destinations the cheapest (I know how to do that). I'm asking if anyone has actually taken chartered flights around phils and / or a helicopter to clark? Reason being my bank account has recently grown to the size where this would not set me back very much and if it saves me time and hassle I'm all for it.

Posts: 405My bank account has since doubled again (and I expect it to keep doubling as long as this continues) since my last post the bull market lasted until the first week of this month so record levels of money being made and absolutely nothing to spend it on. People with money that do any kind of investing are making more money faster and easier than they ever have, on both sides of the market. I haven't had so much steak for dinner in my history on this planet. That being said I think I'm going to need to buy a second penis just to get enough time getting it in when phils opens back up.
We debating mask effectiveness? Anyone who has fucked a bar fine bareback shouldn't be wearing a mask, these are dirty men doing dairy deeds literally swallowing veteran hookers vaginal secretions. Come on. I only wear masks in phils for what they are used for the stench of human filth that makes its way to the surface from the canals and the filth that comes out of the back end of trikes. Death rate has dropped by 50% in a very short period of time and will continue to do so, so the doom and gloom alarmists that projected the end of the world were off by 50% and that margin is growing. IF the vaccine is only 50% effective you are talking about 50% less people infected (at the very least) on top of that 50% reduction in deaths. And that also presupposes we do not make any further advancements in therapeutics. People with this fake bravado of mask or die are just sadists, ultimately punishing the poor and disenfranchised and just further exacerbating the poor's plight. This is a classic example of the rich getting ALOT richer and poor getting ALOT poorer.
