Someone recently posted a comment under one of the Philippine general-travel YouTube videos, warning of undercover cops, male and female, busting both Johns and hoes. Has anyone witnessed or heard any evidence of this? Not another one of Duterte's instant-justice campaigns, I hope! Adult prostitution IS illegal but a blind eye is normally turned.

Someone somewhere posted something.

Do you believe everything that you read in youtube comments?

Manila will get a new Airport:

Would have to go to a Philippines corp with considerable connections. After the NAIA T3 fiasco I cannot imagine too many international consortium would want to bid.

In about 10 years if we are lucky and is it the right location and will the infrastructure meet the needs of passengers to get to the city.

The new airport has been around many years and nothing really happened. Under the current president he is at least pushing for huge infrastructure projects.

But this is the Philippines so if will take time I think.

Anyone with some knowledge of airports and aviation will tell you that this looks like a scam from the word go. For an airport than can handle 100 mn passengers with 4 runways takes a bit longer than 4-6 years to become operational. I think that might be the amount of time required to take possession of the land and clear it for construction. LOL.

One of the best known generic outfits is The Generics Pharmacy.

Thanks for all the replies. I had never heard of the Generics Pharmacy, I did a quick search on Google Maps in Cebu City and found a branch at Fuente Circle. It's in a small row of shops, accessed via an alleyway just to the right of the KFC restaurant. They offered me Spiagra and Tigerfil (see pics) both manufactured in India. No prescription was asked for, Spiagra 10 x 100 MG was PHP550 (55 per 100 MG) and Tigerfil was 4 x 50 MG for 300 (150 per 100 MG, 3 times the price of Spiagra). Being a bit of a cheap charlie I choose the Spiagra.

Has anyone tried it, and if so would you recommend it? I have tried Viagra and Sidegra and both work extremely well for me, but I am reluctant to fork out money for Robust as I had never heard of it, the labelling on the pack said it was a 'dietary supplement'. It comes in two 'strengths' the pic I have uploaded here is the extreme version and apparently a stronger version of the basic version of Robust.

Others posters give good advice as when you go to a Watsons etc it will ask for a Rx aka prescription. You could try and say I forgot to bring from USA and show them a box but this is less and less an effective way to get.

But Robust is OK I know many who use this also.

Are you trying the big pharmacies or the Generic Pharmacies.

Please go to a Generics or smaller pharmacies. Ask for sildenafil as a generic.

No need for a script.

One of the best known generic outfits is The Generics Pharmacy. I took a quick online check in Cebu and found at least 20 locations. I have purchased from them only in Manila, but have never been asked for a prescription. They sell a 100 MG. Generic viagra named Spiagra for about 50 pesos each. It works for me. Depending on your age, half a tab may be sufficient. They may have a couple other forms of generics at slightly higher prices. Only downside is that not all locations stock it. You may want to go on their website and go prepared with names of alternative product names, and if your first choice is unavailable, ask for one of the others. Or, as PP suggests, just ask for a sildenafil generic.

I am trying to get hold of some Viagra (or Sidegra) in Cebu, apparently you can get it from some pharmacies without a prescription but most insist on a prescription and I have yet to find one that will let you have it without a prescription. The last two pharmacies I went into declined my order for Viagra, but both recommended a product called Robust (see pic) and said it has the same effect.

I had same issue when I was in Manila a couple of months ago. I did get supplied sidegra from 2 different Mercury stores and had luck also with stores that advertised generics.

NO APPROVED THERAPEUTIC CLAIMS should be a warning.

Most of these products might work after a long course, but don't seem to give instantaneous result you are after.

Personally know three pretty girls who went to Middle East (would not name the country) hired as domestics who said their employer asked for sexual favors. Employer did have three or more wives and few kids. One submitted and others claim to have rebuffed. Do not know the truth. One who submitted said she did not get any extra money or benefits.

Nowadays Philippine government is very strict taking all complaints seriously and will repatriate girls regardless of the contract.

Are they easy targets in Middle East? , yes because men there can do whatever they want and poor girls who depend on the job may not have any options.

I have plenty similar stories Sammon. Some are shared with the male members of the extended family also!.

Even helped one get to the Philippine Embassy to get away from the employer who was really nasty. The recruiter? Was a pinoy firm based in the UAE! They took her passport (illegal) and halved the salary on arrival (illegal) and made her pay her visa and airfare costs (illegal) so she was in massive debt before she started.

When my lady at the time (another pinay) took her to the 'rescue house' there were 34 other pinays there. I called the UAE based recruiter and pointed out facts who then threatened to come to my office. I told them the location and name of my boss and they very quickly disappeared.

Still happens I am sure and in Saudi was newspaper reports of Embassy staff being involved in the racket. As I say to people pinoys with crap on pinoys if money is involved. Sad! I know a generalization but I have seen this many times both in the UAE, Saudi and the Philippines.

The girl was repatriated and all was OK but she had debts in the Philippines to agents!

You are correct that the government now is tougher (example is Kuwait) but I tell any pinay who dream of a DH job in the Middle East to not go (if family western maybe OK) but the obs are mainly to local families.

I have some knowledge of OFW experiences. OFWs working in the middle east are frequently required to sexually submit to her employer. This is even sometimes covered in initial employee / employer interview but not always which leads to problems when employee learns job requirement after landing. This expectation is not found nearly as often in other geographic regions of the world and is quite rare outside the middle east.

Sexual favors still play in most countries to get ahead.

In other countries like Taiwan, Korea, Japan And Europe it is not common.
