General Info

[QUOTE=OldAndUgly;2978070]I didn't do this long term renting for 3 years, I have a steady GF now, maybe the prices have changed, but I assure you that the ones I had in tow were turning heads. 2-3 k is all they get from the BF anyway, If they accompany you, they get the same money and is guaranteed, back at the bar they may not get BF. On top of that they are getting fed in nice restaurants, and get to take selfies for their tiktok or fb.

The girls in the pic: one was rented for the above mentioned amount, and the second one came for free being my GF at the time. I can't show their faces, but from what you can see, I don't think they fall in the ugly category.[/QUOTE]Well done.

These past few years I am paying 3-5 k a day per girl. I have known the girls a while so we are compatible. I have taken probably 8 girls. At the most 2 at one time. Been to Boracay and El Nido and Alona resorts. Had a good time with all. The girls didn't demand 5 k a day, I just felt like paying it.

BTW, the girls have rent, food and family expenses to pay while on vacation with you. That is why they are working. Rent and expenses don't take a holiday when you take them on vacation.

[QUOTE=Locamotive;2977880] ...and one I know just got 20 k a day to Boracay, granted she is a beauty...[/QUOTE]I haven't found prices to be directly proportional to looks and definitely not attitude / performance. 20 k is either she didn't want to go with the guy in the first place or she had her sense of self value distorted by IG or Seeking simps. Unfortunately the later is becoming more and more common.

ID see a civilian accepting a weekend away from work including some gifts for her and her friends as totally achievable. The same for a commercial arrangement at repeat customer rates.

A dirty weekend out of town together was 1100 for her return bus fare, no increased accommodation cost for a cheap Airbnb, pasalubong for the family was 1100 and I bought her two blouses for 1200 total. Food costs were minimal as she watched what she spent. Saturday night out was one SML Apple for the evening.

[/QUOTE]Enjoy. G.

[QUOTE=KabulGuy;2977729]I came across a web site recently offering really cheap Tadalafil. 20 MG tabs for 90 peso each. That is roughly 10% of the Cialis price for a 20 MG tab, should be good for 4 days fun. Lots of other prescription and non prescription stuff available as well.

It just happened, first one said that she wants her friend with her, then later she said that her cousin from Manila will like to join us, I said no, but when she showed me the picture, I would have ditched both of them for the cousin, so she came on board too. It appeared that they all call themself cousins, but they are not related, so the orgy had full cooperation, just like intended, no blood relatives there.

[QUOTE=Locamotive;2978081]Yep they are just fine, obviously I'm shopping in the wrong area.[/QUOTE]You're in the right place, all it takes is patience.

[QUOTE=Locamotive;2977883]Yeah I know many have suggested this. Too dangerious for me Ill pass. Cartels or drug lords watch out for white Americans. Law and order in allot of these places does not exist. You think the ones Trumps ICE is currently picking up and shipping home won't be pissed, no thanks.[/QUOTE]Fair call Loco.

I've looked at other locations or some alternatives, but the Phils always delivers.

And sometimes it's worth the extra travel for a fulfilling time in place you're familiar with and enjoy.

If the Phils does it for you, then go for it. Just still can't believe the airlines screw you guys before the Filipinas do.

For first-timers or people who haven't been in a while.

Coming from the US, here are the current entry procedures.

ETravel app has become the only entry requirement. You must fill this out within the four-day window of entering the country. For example, if you're entering on the 20, you fill it out on or after the 17th. ETravel replaces all immigration and customs-related paperwork. When completed, they will issue you a QR code, and it will be scanned later.

Upon exiting the aircraft, you will be taken to immigration. There are two lines: one for Filipinos, and one for non-Filipinos. The line moves pretty fast. They may ask you for a plane ticket to show you are leaving within 30 days, as this is a requirement. I am asked probably half of the time. If you don't have one you can show them, it could be trouble. Make sure you have one just in case. It is easy to book a refundable ticket or even rent a ticket for $14-16 that self-cancels. After getting your passport stamped, next is baggage claim.

Here, don't expect to leave soon. In my experience, it takes forever. It seems like it gets longer every trip. When I can, I try my best to keep it to a carry on to minimize wait time. Plus, less baggage to lug around is better. Helpful hint: roll your clothes when you pack your luggage and it almost doubles what you can pack.

I don't think most of us have to worry about customs. This is where you have to scan your eTravel QR code. If you don't have one, they will make you go online and fill one out. If you don't have a phone with data connection, this is hard. It's better to do it before you ever leave your home country. There is no free WiFi in Terminal 1 that is reliable.

After clearing customs, it is up to you what you do next.

Helpful Hints.

- Bring cash with you and change it at the currency exchange. I was happy I did this on my last trip because no ATM in the lobby was working. Just make sure your bills are crisp and clean. They will not exchange dirty or creased bills.

- Bring a phone that is unlocked and get a local SIM card. I personally like Globe PH. Download the Globe One app and you can get an eSIM, then load it. The Go99 promo has calls, texts, and 18 gb data. If you're usually on WiFi in a hotel or home and you use mobile data only when you're outside, it's more than enough, and for about $2 per week. There is no need to get the "unlimited" data SIM cards you see in the airport. It's about $60 per month, and I would rightfully call that a scam.

- Download the Grab app. It's the Philippines version of Uber. Don't be the sitting-duck foreigner using the taxis. I've taken Grab from the US Embassy area to Terminal 4 and paid about 250 php (about $5), whereas a taxi had quoted me over 2 k php ($40).

- If you're staying in Manila, consider a hotel that has a free airport shuttle. Most of the hotels that offer this are not the nicest, but they are clean and nice enough. If you need a ride, go to the Grab kiosk and book your ride there. Do not use the Grab app at the airport. In my experience, the drivers give priority to the kiosk and will not take the booking from your phone at the airport.

- Sometime after April, the new company managing NAIA is going to remap the terminals again. All international flights will be routed to Terminal 3, in the new plan. This is really good for several reasons. There is a foot bridge from Terminal 3 to Newport City across from Terminal 3. If you don't mind walking to your hotel, it is free. There is Savoy, Belmont Hotel, Marriott, Megaworld, etc. These are probably some of the nicest hotels near the airport, and they seem to be girl-friendly, too.

The eGOV app is for entry, and exit, and is for everybody, filipinos included.

The return ticket is needed before you board your flight.

As airport wifi might be spotty, it might be a good idea at your home or hotel, when completing the eTravel app process and get your QR code, to screen capture the barcode.

Also don't forget the visa extensions, they didn't ask me for it this time, but every single time before.

[QUOTE=WestCoast1;2978804]Come to think of it, I don't think I've eTravel-ed or eGov'd on the outbound since 2022. Anyone else?[/QUOTE]Same here. Etravel website says following still:

Arriving Filipino and foreign crewmembers;.
Arriving Filipino and foreign passengers;.
And Departing Filipino passengers.

We had group of expats over from many countries recently, none of them had to fill it in for exit.
