Am I required to have health insurance? Visa?

As I read it, I don't need to obtain a visa before entry into the Philippines as a British passport holder But once entered I can obtain extensions there. And will I need the proof of health insurance when going for the extention[/QUOTE]Travelling to any country without Health Insurance carries massive risks. Imagine you get knocked down by a car, multiple breaks and a porlonged stay in hospital. You most certainly wouldn't want to spend your time in a " public hospital in Phils (if in doubt, go to PGH and see the wards there. Crowded, no air con, no privacy, and unless you have friends relatives to bring you food, you will go seriously hungry. This isn't the National Health service.

Its a sensible rule that you have health insurance and I would REALLY recommend you have some.

You can then get a further 38-day extension at a Bureau of Immigration office, WITHOUT having any health insurance.

If you go to an overseas Philippines Embassy you can apply for the 59-day visa straight up. It saves any hassles to get the extension.

Hi guys

I need some advice please. I will be in Manila 27th-30 June after a long hectic travel schedule.

I would like some beach time and have been thinking about a 4 trip to Boracay after the Manila stint. I have heard it can rain which I don't mind but would not like to spend 4 days in my room even with a wonderful woman. Do the storms, under normal circumstances, continue for days on end or do you get quick cloud bursts and then sun shine as I have experienced in phuket.

Thanks in advance

[QUOTE=Amjeck]it seems that a lot of these girls are doing xxx cams to make money. I'm curious how they get involved with this type of business. Are there local recruiters? Or do they do to some kind of site and join up?[/QUOTE]Take it from someone who has lived here for a while, and not hiding in gated developments - prostitution is massive in this country. Every block in every barangay has women organising young girls to 'earn money'. The bars you guys see in AC etc are just the tip of the iceberg. The local men have a vast supply of very cheap pussy available to them for rent by the hour.

The rev[/QUOTE]The short rains are common. Because it is hot right now you want it to rain every day. I was in Boracay two weeks ago. Lots of honeys in Cocamangos. Plenty of company to be had. Definitely recommend it.

I have a thing for young women who smoke large cigars. I know that is weird, but it is what it is.

What is the incidence of smoking in Manila?

From what I understand most of the Filipinas "Smoke". If its a large cigar you got then they will will accomidate. LOL

Being a manic anti smoker, who hates being polluted by your output, who hates the stink you create, the disgusting foulness of seeing your used ashtrays I truly wonder what it is that you rule. C'mon you didnt expect any easy ride with that nick, did you?

[QUOTE=Smokers Rule]I have a thing for young women who smoke large cigars. I know that is weird, but it is what it is.

What is the incidence of smoking in Manila?[/QUOTE]If you are talking of the real cigars, then I haven't seen many 'up market' girls smoking cigars.

Whereas - for cigerettes, almost every bar girl smokes.

If you are referring to the 'other' cigar, then it is always a question of asking first, as some girls suddenly will decide they have sore throat, tootache, and what not, to avoid some more hard work for the money.

Well, I don't smoke at all and never have. I have an interest in women who smoke in private, for my enjoyment.

Interestingly, I have been a member of this board (and many others) for years, and this is the first time I've had such a caustic comment directed my way for this reason.

Please direct your apologies to my PM (and take a Xanax!) :)

Hi gentlemen, It looks like I have won the lottery of sorts. I have to travel back to Manila for a project review on 2nd July and will be there for 3 days. I was planning on going home on Sunday night but am going on holiday to Malaysia the following thursday.

So rather than fly back and forth to Asia, the missus has suggested that I take a few days off and stay in Philippines :)

Of course I am resisting a little - as you should initially but this sounds like a great idea - I wish I had thought of it.

So, I have 4 days off that I really don't want to spend in Manila. I really would like to get somewhere with a decent beach to have a couple of days relaxation (possibly with a pickup), need decent internet access just in case of work and would like to go someone relatively worth while seeing.

I have Cebu, Palawan and Davao on my list. AC may be worth considering for a night on the way to pick up and go somewhere else. Davao sounds like there isn't much of a p4p scene reading the FRs but is a nice place. Palawan may be completely dead- will check.

I will read through the forums but any good suggestions for 3/4 days would be welcome. I don't want to stay in bars all day and night - but wouldnt have a problem to go to one to BF a girl for a couple of days.

Thanks


EDIT: I've looked at Bohol and that looks nice so my first choice may be into Cebu Sunday night to find a companion for Mon-Thurs in Bohol.....any of you guys done this?

Sunday night is not always a good night to find someone special in a bar but you just never know.

I would go to Bohol for 2 or 3 nights only maximum, and have another night or two back in Cebu on Wednesday / Thursday.

Don't tell your escort your travel plans in case she is not included. Take her with you to Bohol; have fun; return her to Cebu; bid her farewell and then hit the other bars in Cebu for a bit more fun.

Lots of beauties available in Cebu.

Bohol is only a few hours away from Cebu by ferry. Easy travel.

Don't pay upfront for your stay in Bohol in case it all goes pear-shaped and you decide to cut out early.

This plan leaves you many options. You can keep your honey with you in Cebu when you return if she is 5-star or drop her if not. You can also stay in Bohol 4 nights if it is really special.

If you go to Palawan you will not have as many options.

I personally would leave AC off the list until you return some other time. Just dropping in to hit and run is not a good idea, but JMHO.

Plenty of better quality girls with better education and attitude in Cebu.

[QUOTE=Red Kilt]Bohol and Cebu would be my choice for you. Cebu.[/QUOTE]Sounds like a good plan.

I'll PM you my dates in Manila so we can try and have a beer one night.

Can any one tell if bars exist like those one In Thailand, along the highways,ie girl singing along to a karaoke machine, and likewise some p4p can sometimes be had?

Missus is very understanding - or she has yet to tell her friends and then hears all the warnings and changes her mind...or worse...joins you in PI :(

Bohol is nice and BYO is better unless you hit DIA, CB etc and find a girl there - there are plenty in Bohol, I may know some (let me check my memory banks)

See your PM box please
