Thanks for report AV. Reports like this are the main reason I continue to participate in these forums. Hope to reciprocate soon. You going to be the next BubbaGump?

[QUOTE=Amavida;1615957]Flew down to Tacloban via Cebu from Clark.

I was planning on taking the ferry from San Isidro back to Cebu but it all got to hard & I ended up retracing my steps back to Tacloban to fly back to civilisation. AV.[/QUOTE]As from today all flights to and from Tacloban have been suspended due to the state of the runway. See [URL]http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/634560/all-flights-to-tacloban-airport-suspended.[/URL].

It looks like another typhoon hit the area judging from the size of the asphalt slabs on the runway, but it is apparently lack of maintenance and repair. All planes are out for a week until temporary repairs allowing turbo-props to land, but there will be no bigger jets for months until full asphalt replacement.

Good background info there Amavida, thanks. I really love Malapascua Island off the top end of Cebu. Great for diving (thresher sharks, wrecks etc). It was badly hit by Yolanda and pleased to hear that it has well recovered.

Kongking.

Kongking.[/QUOTE]I was lucky then. The runway felt OK to me. NAIA felt worse. Local contacts tell me its pissing down rain there at the moment.

Malapascua is great I agree. It felt kinda decadent motoring over & landing on the beach in my own boat Its only a coral atoll so its barely above sea level. Apparently water inundation was a big problem for them in addition to the wind.

The resorts are all fully repaired & back to business. Walk down a lane behind the main resort & you're in a Philippine slum. Quite a few buildings there still unrepaired & showing the severe wind damage. The church is well underway to repair.

Despite its natural beauty its a hot place. I never felt a breeze the whole time. But the excellent diving & swish resort make up for it.

In the last month I've been contacted by 3 ladies, all older, with stories of woe (death / destruction). None of them asked for money. They were all apologetic for not having been online for over a week (I don't really care if I don't talk to them). Two are from Mindanao provinces, and one is from central Luzon. Luzon gal had to help her best friend bury the best friend's boy, age 15. The boy had been run over and dragged by a loaded tryke. One might think a tryke could not do that kind of damage, as they don't seem to move terribly fast. The dead boy was good friends with my gal's son.

One of the mindanao gals (I filed a report on her in this section previously). Her son, I think about age 7, was also hit by a tryke (see pic for this type of tryke) and sustained a broken leg, and has face lacerations. They are dirt poor, I kept waiting for the money request, but nothing.

The other mindanao girl. Her best friend's 8 year-old daughter died from dengue.

Life in the province: still dangerous, still bad.

[QUOTE=WestCoast1;1617681]SNIP> Life in the province: still dangerous, still bad.[/QUOTE]Yes, you are correct, it's a dangerous place. Went on the road for some months on a few islands and I don't know how many stacked up motorcycles and overturned vehicles I saw. Hell, I even got a marriage proposal (you prego guys would dig her), and later found out from a friend that she and her family were NPA. But she never asked for money either!

I go down there & its true. Driver is being held in jail by PNP while owner of truck is negotiating the extortion amount. This little girl was really bright scoring high in maths so out of compassion I pay for emergency treatment & an orthopod to pin the leg with external fixation. I thought that was that. 3 months later I'm told the surgeon fucked up by not getting the pins firmly fixed in bone instead putting them into soft tissue.

Pins need removal. Law suit & recovery of monies from surgeon #1. Now Surgeon #2 redoes the job properly at further expense. It never ends.

Yes life is cheap & short in PI.

That girl in pink is cute. I'm sure you enjoyed her.

Thanks AV and sad story, good of you to help. But disclaimer: That was misleading, the cute pussy in pink doesn't belong to the cute girl in pink. I wasn't able to crack that nut, she was smoother than I was. She basically soaked me for lunch and ran off instead of soaking me with that sweet pussy. Here's another I didn't nail, and another I did. Couldn't pry the brown one loose from church long enough. Funny, she'd meet me after mass, then afterwards go back and spend the rest of the day there.

An encouragement to the gents to get out in the province. Forest's box-o-chocolates is alive / well there. Now making her way back to my bed for the third trip running to her province is miss "T". Still a teen and already wicked at the BJ.

Welcome to the province. Very inviting at times. Come closer.

Still txting me begging for another 'visit'. How can I refuse this?
