I think (hope) that 20 years might be pessimistic. There will always be broke girls around and it's not called "the oldest profession" for nothing. Come back in 1000 years and we will still have Keef Richards, cockroaches and skanky hookers. The ultimate survivors. 😜.
Enjoy. G.

Online fun and the growth of middle class jobs have decimated the mongering scene in a few countries.
Luckily PI still has a few million broke chicks left. Get in before they are gone. 😜.
Cheers G.

Posts: 6834Call center jobs in NCR. Salary up to p37 K monthly. While call center jobs don't pay what engineers or administrators do, they are still considered better than typical 'minimum' wage jobs (p500/ day, or p2500/ week, or p10 k / month). You begin to see a glimpse into what girls need to survive, and hence above that to thrive.

I'm still hopping to Colombia where a nurse girlfriend of mine filled me in on the previous 3 months vax mandate to enter the country. It was not sustainable since all our hospitalizations are double or triple vax she blurted out. Go figure)).
Anyway, brace yourself for monkey pox lockdowns. It's coming, it's à WHO worldwide emergency, its lethal even though we are still expecting the deaths, and it required a vax to face the threat.

Posts: 451I don't know is all this information you posted was posted before but it is good. I am not sure how much more loosening there can be. The online registration is painless and helps everyone clear on arrival quickly. Otherwise queues will probably slow down further. It is not back to pre Covid days for those traveling with a convenient passport like UK or US. At least many countries are making if easier to travel.

Posts: 3260Inflation in PH
Past two trips I have noticed a bit of inflation in everything here. The higher USD-PH exchange rate might cover some but certainly not all. Still lower inflation rate than in USA. Of course both countries lie about the actual inflation rate.

Posts: 295My personal experience travelling back to the Philippines from Thailand
Last week, two days before my flight from Bkk to Manila, I registered online at https://onehealthpass.com.ph by way of clicking on the 'Register' button/link though there is another button/link named 'e-HDC' which appears to link thru to the same page as the first link.
You will be unable to register more than 72 hours before your departure date.
After completing the form with my personal details, I then uploaded a copy of my vax record, in all, it took less than 5 minutes. I did not need to provide a pre-departure negative covid test result.
Within a few seconds after hitting the submit button, their website confirmed my registration and I was given a ten-digit registration code. You can take a screenshot of this page which includes a QR code. There was a note that said they would email me with confirmation but it never arrived.
Later, I went back to their website and clicked on the 'My Profile' button/link, after entering my surname and the ten-digit registration code it brought up a page with a 'VALID FOR BOARDING' message. It had a barcode, this is the proof you will need to show when you are checking in with your airline and also when you arrive in the Philippines so take a screenshot.
When travelling to the Philippines there is no longer any requirement to have insurance. And if you are 'fully vaxxed' (check https://onehealthpass.com.ph to see their definition of 'fully vaxxed') you are no longer required to obtain a pre-departure negative covid test result.
When I dropped my bag off with Philippine Airlines at their check-in desk at Suvarnabhumi airport in Bkk, for my Bkk-Manila flight, I was asked by the check-in clerk to show my vax card and proof of registration with onehealthpass. I showed her the screenshots on my phone and she gave me the ok. She then asked me for details of my onward flight from the Philippines, which I didn't have, and she told me that I couldn't board the flight unless I was able to show her details of an onward flight! She advised me to make a booking online.
I explained that I was actually travelling back to the Philippines on a return ticket that originated in Cebu, and that I was not flying one-way to the Philippines.
She then asked if I live in the Philippines and I said yes, though I do not have citizenship or residency. I still have a rental lease on a condo unit in Cebu City and all my possessions are in the unit. I lived in Cebu City on extended tourist visas for 3 years from July 2019 up till the beginning of this month which was when I had to leave the country, on a visa-run.
The check-in clerk then asked if I had any proof that I had been living in the Philippines, so I showed her my still valid Philippine ACR I-Card (issued by Immigration, and is required for all foreign nationals who have stayed for more than 59 days in the Philippines). 5 seconds later she gave me the OK and finished off the check-in procedure!
After arriving at T2 at NAIA in Manila, I headed for the Immigration desk. Just before the Immigration desk security staff were directing all arriving passengers off into a small holding area where we were asked to show proof of registration with onehealthpass. I opened up my phone and showed a screenshot of the 'VALID FOR BOARDING' page, it was quickly scanned, presumably to make sure that it matched up with the one that was in their database.
So, after they confirmed my registration with onehealthpass, I was out and headed off to the Immigration desk. There was only person in front of me when I got there, when it was my turn I stepped forward and offered my passport, and was asked how long I plan to stay. I said I plan to stay about 2, maybe 3 weeks. I was not asked for proof of onward travel. After about a minute my passport was returned, stamped with a one-month tourist visa.
Having cleared Immigration, I went to collect my luggage and then headed off to the Domestic Terminal to catch my flight back to Cebu.
After arriving in the Philippines back in July 2019 I was given a one-month tourist visa, and then kept extending it up to 3 years which is the maximum period they will give you, after which you must exit the country. There have been reports that some Immigration offices in the Philippines are now refusing to extend the one-month on arrival visa which is offered to tourists from most Western countries.
Next month I will try to extend my one-month visa, and I would be interested to hear from other board members who have managed to recently extend their one-month on arrival visas.

Hydrate. Hydrate.
I am just fearing more brown outs and / or blackouts.
