Posts: 1056Shop till I drop
I will be back in the Philippines later this year and I want to spend money on me. Unlike Thailand and other destinations, I find it difficult as the Philippines only seems to offer cheap beer and cheap women. Perhaps that is due to high import taxes and poorly made domestic goods. What is worth buying in the Philippines with say $1000-$10,000 to burn?

Posts: 1056Passport Number
As CM points out, you get flagged at the airport. They have your date of birth, name and a number. The number is to nab you if you change passports. When you hand in your passport at passport at passport control, that is what they type in as you wait. You get flagged if all three come up on their screen. Though I do not know the specifics of each individual country, that is the general principle. Someone flagged this dude for reasons he has not explained but he wants us to divine so he can get a pass next time. He doesn't even tell us if his passport was stamped, which it should have been or anything he learned while being held. We are supposed to just guess it all.
Kinda dumb but that is Internet questions for you.

Also, where are you from? Do you hold a passport that allows visa free / VOA entry? You would be surprised how many people try to board planes or even get to countries thinking they don't need a visa when they do.

P.S. Don't enter in Cebu.

3. It is quite possible someone contacted your own non Pinoy authorities and they put in the request. That is because you were not detained or shaken down.
4. Until you find out why you were denied entry, you are dealing in Lotto land. You don't say if you were photographed, finger printed etc.
5. If you have no idea why you were stopped. A few years ago, how are we supposed to know.
6. Isn't it odd you were denied entry and you have a Pinay fiancee?

Posts: 684Denied entry
So a few years ago, several years ago now actually, I was denied entry into the Philippines at the airport in Cebu. No clear reason was given. I was detained for a few hours, then put on a flight back to Hong Kong, where I was living at the time. My question is, what are the chances of this happening again? I have a new passport now, as my prior one expired. Anybody have any input on this type of situation? I honestly have NO idea why I was denied entry the last time and I'm going to visit my fiancee's family and I sure do not want this to happen again. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Posts: 451Actually, if you are in the US or another Asian country, you will have a better chance of finding a professional photo shop. In the US art shops, can do some stuff but they do offsite. Like Hobby Lobby on the cheap end. I think the uni student work might work but it depends on experience. Photoshop is expensive as are the computers or mac used by most companies. It is different from digital manipulation as most use very specialized tools.
If you are in a big US city, try firing up an app that looks for people to do contract or errands.
