I just spent 6 weeks in the country and I just want to emphasize that advance preparation is key to getting the most out of your trip.
If you can chat with lots of girls in places like Yahoo Messenger. Find out what they're like and what they'll do. Eventually you'll have a stable of willing, high quality performers and you may not even need to hit night life places to find your bedwarmers.
And of course read all the information here that you can by all the experienced posters so you don't waste your time on wild goose chases.

Mahku,
I recently joined some sites featuring "available" Filipinas. Question to you. With all of these "God Fearing", "Conservative", and "Marraige Minded" females floating around how do you find the friskey ones? Are there any hints that they leave in their profile or is futher interrogation the only way to discover this?

KnickFan,
With the 'nice' girls time is the most important factor. If you're only making one visit for 3 or 4 days then stick with pros. But if you can make several visits of several weeks each then you have time to loosen her up. Take her and her friends out to dinner, movies, romantic view places like Tops if you're in Cebu, etc. The first couple of times make no moves at all. Then when you do make advances she'll probably say no at which point you should stop immediately. I've found that lots of girls are actually turned on because I respected their wishes and they end up attacking me a short time later.
Another important factor is if she lives with her family or not. The ones who live in boarding houses away from their relatives are better bets than the ones that have Mommy and Daddy waiting at home every night. Of course there are lots of girls like that in the big city but even smaller university towns like Dumaguete and Cagayan can have girls living on their own.
It takes time and effort but if you make several trips eventually you'll have a stable of girls waiting for you in different towns.

Frequent Flier:
You did a great service to everyone by posting that asshole's email. It's amazing to me that people can be naive enough to buy this crap, especially if they have the intelligence to do even a minimum amount of research on sites such as this one. I wonder if people realize that the price he's charging is about 3 times the annual income of families in the Philippines. I wonder how much he pays the girls to fall in love with these guys.
Knick Fan:
Do not worry about the "God Fearing" and "Conservative" labels. Filipinas pretty much tell you what they think you want to hear. These girls describe themselves this way to convince you that they are marriageable. My advice would be to ignore the labels, concentrate on looks, and see where the meetings take you. I doubt that you will be disappointed in the outcomes.

KnickFan,
I posted this once but it seems it never made it here. I'll try again.
With the conservative, God-fearing thing you have to take each girl case by case. I would say with the majority it's an Asian public face thing. They say these things for the benefit of their family and whoever else is watching. But if you can get them alone then anything goes. You do often have to take some time to win them over, maybe 2 or 3 dates with no physical moves. Then they decide that you're a 'nice guy' and are more likely to jump in the sack. Go figure.
Also, when you do begin to make advances, the girl will often say no. At this point I usually back off completely, and it's not long before the girl starts making moves on me. I guess because I showed her respect it made her want it more. Again go figure.
Some girls actually are chaste and will not go to your room ever.
One important factor in all this is whether the girl is living with her family or not. The ones that are living on their own are much better bets than the ones who go home every day to Mom and Dad. That's why the big cities and even the smaller university towns like Cagayan and Dumaguete are such good hunting grounds.

Mahku and GoodEnough,
Thanks for that info. I can be persistant if need be.

Hallo to all,
I have tried to find the information I need trough the whole forum but I wasn't able to find it.
I would like to visit PI next year, and I would like to travel around for about 3 months. Anyone can tell me if it is possible to get a visa for 90 days?
In my country PI embassy will give a visa for a stay not exceeding 59 days. Somebody said to me that in Bangkok is possible to get a visa for 3 months stay, but this information come from a not verifiable source.
I will be pleasing to anyone who will be able to help me.
Thanks
Leo

The 59 days is the duration of the average tourist visa for which you need only your passport. If you want a visa for a longer term, it's simple. Go to any Philippines Embassy and apply for a longer-term stay. You will get it in a day by just explaining that you want to travel around for three or four months. I did this when I first came here. You can go to the Embassy in Bangkok, Washington, DC., or wherever.

Leo,
It's also pretty easy to extend visas in country (in the Philippines).

FD & GE,
Thanks for your quick answer and suggestion. As I will spent some days in Thailand before my trip to PI, I will try first to get a long term visa in BKK.
With my poor english, hope to be able to report some good experiences from my trip.
Thanks again,
Leo

Leo Monti,
I got the 59 day visa last year in Bangkok for the equivalent of US$33. I can’t recall any information about longer term visas, but I think they were available. When you go to the embassy make sure you have the following items:
• Your ticket to and from the Philippines showing the arrival and departure days. I once tried showing them a ticket with open arrival, but they wouldn’t take it. Also have a photocopy of the ticket with you.
• Photocopy of your passport information page.
• Photocopy of your Thai entry stamp page. I don’t know why in the world they wanted this. It’s just dumb bureaucracy.
• A couple of passport photos. I think I only needed one but it pays to err on the side of too many.
You’ll probably have to wait about a day for the processing. But waiting in Bangkok isn’t too much of a hardship.
If you think this process is a pain you should try the Philippine Consulate in Dubai. They wanted all of the above plus:
• A professional translation of my Emirates visa.
• A notarized letter from my employer verifying my job and salary.
• A bank statement showing my bank balance.
• And they wanted $70, more than double most other places.
Like others have said you can just enter the Philippines without a visa and get an extension before your 21 days are up.
I may be wrong but I think extra taxes start kicking in after 59 days. Maybe some of the longer staying guys can answer that.
Lucky for the Philippines that the charm of the women lets us put up with all these hassles. There are plenty of countries in the region and elsewhere that let us stay for 90 days visa free and are glad to take our tourist spending.

Gentlemen, I am looking to buy a O/W from Manila to BKK.
Kuwait air had a good deal R/T from BKK, but the one way is rather expensive, at least online.
Does anyone have email contact for a reliable and honest company in Manila, so that I might buy a tix there?
Thank you
-
Hey 1ball,
Welcome.
If there is any way you can swing it, buy your round trips in BKK. Much cheaper than buying in the RP. Just leave the return open and use it later.

FD,
my plan is to fly to PI from the States, then onto BKK, hence my reason for a O/W from Manila. Any ideas of some good travel agents in Manila ?
-
1ball,
You can't reverse the direction ? Too bad, you'd save a couple hundred.
I do not use T.A.'s in the RP. My favorite in the states is Amor at (213) 386-6156.
A "circle" fare starting in L.A. is often a cheap way to do it, but I've never seen the RP included in the routes.
Cathy Pacific also offers an "All Asia Pass" that does include BKK and MNL. But all regional flights are in and out of HK. $999, originating on the west coast ( LA, SF or Seatle). You can upgrade to Biz or 1st for a large fee. I know you don't mind paying for the comfort. :)
Good luck.
FD
