I decided to marry my new sweetie in Bayugan Del Sur. She will turn 20 next year. A bit young, but after being with her, so mature for her age. She never asked me for money once, so that's a good thing. She did tell me she loves me which is ok, cause I love her too. Went and bought herself a ring in Butuan so the "boys know I'm not available". That really made my day.

The worst thing about all of this is that I'm dropping my fiance I had for 5 years. She's a bit older, 27, and a great woman too. I just don't know what I will tell her. I definitely don't want to say I have another woman cause that would really destroy her emotionally. I still feel for her and could never just blow her off. Does anyone think I'm crazy? All thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

[QUOTE=Borocay Pi]Hello

First of all thank you all very much for this great site and reviews!

I will be traveling for the first time to the Philippines in August, and would like to get in touch online with some Filipina's.

Can you recommend some nice site or ideas?

Thanks again and best wishes

You can start by reading the "Chat Rooms & Pen Pals" thread. Plenty of info available if you take the time to look through several pages of reports in that thread.

Tell her you're bisexual and contracted AIDS while BtFking one of the local homeless lads. Then ask her for some money for medicine. That should do the trick.

If I'm not mistaken, Bayugan is in Mindanao. Correct me if I'm wrong. How did you meet this lass? Have you posted a travel report? If you haven't, I'm looking forward to a posting. I hope to visit Visayans and Mindanao in July.

You may have said in a previous mail TC, but how old are you? 30ish or 90ish?

Hope you'll be able to invite some of the senior ISG memebers to your wedding.

Hi there,

Anyone knows whether the Portofino, at Small La Laguna, Sabang, is girlfriendly? (and yes, I did use the search function in this thread, no mention of this hotel...)

Burty[/QUOTE]Hi Burty,

I'm not 100 % sure but as far as i know only Garden off eden and maybe Atlantis ask for extra money in Pg

Have fun

P.s. why not ask in a e-mail? I do that all the time when going to Thailand.

Burty[/QUOTE]I dove with Action Divers(great dive shop) last year and stayed in the Deep Blue Sea Inn(next door), I do not think they have any issues with girls there. Myself and 2 friends arrive in Sabang Beach on June 2 for 5 days.

[QUOTE=X Man]Thanks A hole for the post. I wish you the very best.

I've never been to Leyte but really want to go. I love the look and demeanor of the Leyte ladies.

Can you give us more information? Where are these bars? Also, did you hit the beach? Can you give us a review? Pictures?

I have Lonely planet map of Tacloban. I don't have a scanner, but can take a picture. Maybe you can do the same and mark the locations.

Or is it intuitive to just walk the streets and find these places?

And how did you meet this girl? Just a friendly warning ...great sex doesn't always mean a good wife. (Sure helps a lot though!)

X Man[/QUOTE]Hi sory for the delay in responding, but have just come back from 10 days in ac.

The bars I mentioned in my report are on the Ormnoc road, but really just tell any trike driver Schooners and for 60 peso (from Leyte park Hotel) they will take you there. The bars are all next to each other and on opposite sides of the road, almost like they have been given a designated part of Tacloban to be built in.

There is no beach as such in Tacloban, but there are many beach resorts dotted about, but having the 2 swimming pools to ourselves at Leyte park, that was enough for us.

I met this girl at Dolls House in ac about 2 years 3 months ago. When I met her I was a bit wet around the ears (my first trip to phills), I barfined her twice then gave her the money to go back home and star a new life for herself.

It was never my intention to further my relationship with her as I just gave her what I usually spent in ac for 3 days 10, 000 peso to sort her life out. I have been emailing her for 2 years then she told me a old freind who she met like me wanted to vist her in Tacloban, I thought fuck that! , I will visit her first myself to see if I fancy her, and well the rest is history!

I am travelling to Tacloban last week in June and staying for 3 weeks, so will take some pics then.

My apologies, A hole, I've seriously underestimated you. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post after all this time.

A message to the newbies, some of the people who give the most info at a site like this give up after they find they're giving, and giving and nothing comes back. People like CebuLocal with 1000+ posts, suddenly disappeared. GE, one of the two top experts on Mindanao (along with SH) has pretty much retired from ISG. There are several others who seem to only respond when they are sharing info with other seniors.

Since I've never been to Leyte, I still have something to learn from people like A Hole.

A hole, I'll be in PI in July. Does she have a sister?

Hope you have a great trip.

X Man

X Man[/QUOTE]Yeah she has a sister but she is 14 so perhaps another 3-4 years before she goes to ac!

In Tacloban I forgot to also mention that in the main centre of town trike guys were asking me if I wanted a girl, they even asked this in front of my gf, much to her annoyance!

No, but what you're doing is stupid. Trading an established relationship for something that could be a long-shot golddigging operation.

She hasn't asked you for money (yet)? Don't worry, she'll cost you plenty, both monetary and emotionally.

She wants me to live in Phils, doesn't even care about moving to Canada. I'm all for it myself. More bang for your dollar. Never had a worry in the world both times I was there. Unlike my city or the whole of Canada turning into 1 big cesspool. Criminals rule here and the governments only goal is squeezing that last nickel out of your pocket. The people care about you more in the Philippines. I work with many pinoys/pinays and i find some of them have real attitude problems. Some don't give a shit, only here for the money. Funny always seems like the words money and Philippines go hand in hand.

I'm sure they're good actresses out there, but new girl isn't 1 of them. Really looking forward to marrying in 2008. I'll get back to you in 10 years and see if what you said came true.

I am in Angeles city at the moment and thinking of travelling down to Davao for a few days.
can anyone out there tell me if there is any action down there and where to find it.
I will also need a recommendation of a gf hotel.
I am working from a hand held computer so it is not easy to read this forum, so any info in the next few days would be appreciate.

Tungsten,

My advice, before you dump your fiance, let this relationship go as long as possible first. I had a "regular" for about 18 months and knew she was real and wasn't a gold digger just like you say. However, as I look back, she did cost a lot and caused a lot of frustration.

Things were great the first 6-9 months but after that little things kept coming up. We have discussed how family is so important to Filipinos and a perfect example is when I gave my girl about 10,000 pesos so she could go to school. Her older brother didn't have money for his tuition so she gave him 8000 and didn't go that semester. For her, that was the right thing to do.

Our cultures are very different and you have to realize that. I can go on and on about little things that frustrated me but I'm just glad to be done with it. She was 20 also and though she seemed mature, after time, a lot of her immaturity showed in day-to-day situations.

Just like most relationships, things usually seem pretty perfect the first several months.

Just keep in mind that the cultural differences will arise and you will have different values. Maturity issues will also be an issue in the future too. Just be prepared...

BF,
if you got access enough to post a report:you should certaily realize that there is (and be able to read) the Davao thread.
Also, you should notice little establishments in AC called *internet café*. Very helpful if you need a bigger screen or faster bandwidth.
CA
P,S, an yes. there is action in Davao, but from what I gather in the Davao thread, much more subtle than in Manila or AC.
