[QUOTE=Red Kilt; 1253500]Stroker. The link I pasted to the BoI website says it all.

[url]http://immigration.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1432&Itemid=78[/url]

There is not much more to say except that the so-called Annual Report is simply a need for all persons holding an Immigrant Visa (ACR or ICR Card) to report to the BoI within the first 60 days of each year so that they can be documented and the ACR or ICR Card can be checked against the holder. Cost is 310 php, and they have a special line and desk at BOI in Manila to handle it. There is no need to fill up any forms. Just hand over the ACR card and 310 php and you are done. As I said in my original post. It took me exactly 4 minutes because I asked a few questions.

I have done it meticulously each year so there have been no hassles. [SNIP][/quote]RK,

Thanks for the link and the explanation. Personally I like the last line on the link. It states,"As for aliens who are below 14 years of age or 65 years old and above, it shall be the duty of their parents or legal guardians or representatives to make the report on their behalf".

That made me LOL. I guess it gives the 65+ group the option of having a rep do the paperwork for them, making things easier. I wonder if they get free entry at the movies on Sundays like the local 65+ do? JK.

[B]HIV-AIDS epidemic looms in Phl[/B]

By Marvin Sy (The Philippine Star)

MANILA, Philippines. All of the necessary ingredients for an AIDS epidemic are present in the country. 'With the current infection rate, around 1, 500 Filipinos need to get into anti-retroviral treatment (ART). This means that the country has to spend at least P45 million each year for the purchase of anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs for their life span, ' Sen. Santiago said.

She said that by 2015, the number of those who would need ART could reach 6, 900, costing the government P207 million to support the treatments annually. A full-blown epidemic would entail an annual cost of P50 million.

Santiago has filed Senate Resolution 658 calling for an inquiry into the alarming increase in HIV infections and the necessity of funding HIV prevention programs that include the provision of services to populations most at risk of being infected.

HIV prevention programs include HIV education, counseling and testing, diagnostic and treatment of other sexually transmitted infections, and access to commodities that promote safe sex such as lubricants.

Santiago noted that condom use in the country remains low while having multiple sexual partners is common.

The Philippines is now one of seven countries in the world with increasing numbers of new cases. The others are Armenia, Bangladesh, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

Santiago is also one of the principal authors and sponsors of the Reproductive Health bill in the Senate.

[B]200 new cases.

[/B]

The number of new HIV / AIDS cases in the country is nearing the 8, 000 mark as 200 new cases were recorded in a month.

The Philippine HIV / AIDS registry showed that from January 1984 to October 2011, a total of 7, 884 cases have been recorded; 937 of them had progressed into AIDS, while 339 had died.

In October, the number of cases recorded was 92 percent higher than 104 cases in October 2010.

Public health records showed that 97 percent of the cases were males. The median age was 27 years but ranged from 15 to 65. The 20 to 29 age group had the most number of cases. Fifty four percent of the new cases were from the National Capital Region.

The males having sex with males sector (MSM) is still the leading contributor of new cases, accounting for 85 percent of the new cases. Seventeen injecting drug users (IDU) contracted the virus by sharing contaminated needles.

Of the 200 new cases, only one case, that of a 27-year-old male, had progressed to AIDS. He was infected through bisexual contact. No AIDS-related death was recorded in October.

This year. 1,869 new HIV cases were recorded. 72 of which had progressed to AIDS.

Asked the long term prospect to go on the pill, her response was, can you buy it (embarrassed) maybe, so my question is, can it be purchased over the counter, or is a prescription required as the uk

[QUOTE=Col Law;1256448]Asked the long term prospect to go on the pill, her response was, can you buy it (embarrassed) maybe, so my question is, can it be purchased over the counter, or is a prescription required as the uk[/QUOTE]From what I have been told you can get it over the counter at any Mercury drugs as long as you have the exact name of the drug written down on a small piece of paper. Also best to include both the name brand for the drug and the generic brand. It's cheaper to get the generic but be careful, sometimes the pharmacist will see you are a foreigner and tell you they only have the much more expensive brand in stock. That has happened to me several times when buying cream or antibiotics and I just tell them no I do not want that brand and return to the same pharmacy the next day. I get served by someone else and magically the generic brand is available at a much cheaper price.

I have never bought the pill from a pharmacy in the Philippines but know girls who do and they told me they don't need a doctor's paper to buy it, but maybe they ORIGINALLY had to get a doc's paper and now the pharmacy knows them so they do not need the paper. Avoid Watsons at all cost and if you are turned down at one Mercury go to another.

Also just a cautionary tale. The first girl I came to the Philippines to meet many years ago told me it was ok to have sex with her because she was taking the pill. I questioned her about it and she admitted she only took one pill one time and it was a week before we met! These girls have no sex education and no idea how things work. Be careful! Unless she stays with you every day and you watch her take the pill everyday at the same time I would not believe the woman if she told me she took it. Some women only want a baby with blue eyes, or they want the steady monthly income of having a baby with a western guy might provide. Be careful x2!

I asked for Yasmin at both chains in Ayala Mall and was told no problem.

[QUOTE=Stroker Ace88;1256491]These girls have no sex education and no idea how things work.[/QUOTE]So this Filipino couple have had eight children in seven years. They go to the doctor and the doctor prescribes the pill. Three months later they come back and the woman is pregnant again. "Didn't you use the pills?" the doctor inquires. "Yes but you must have given us the wrong size because they kept falling out." The doctor sighs at their ignorance and prescribes the diaphragm. Three months later they come back and the woman is pregnant again. "Didn't you use the diaphragm?" "Sometimes but I hated eating that jelly. It's so bitter." The doctor sighs and gives them condoms. Three months later they come back and the woman is pregnant again. "Didn't you wear the condoms?" the doctor asks the man. "Yes, I did, but after four days I had to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] so bad I cut a hole in the end of it."

The doctor thinks and thinks about what he can do that will get through to these simple, humble people. Finally he says to the woman ,"Every night when you go to bed I want you to put your feet in a ten gallon bucket." The woman ponders this for a bit and then the light goes on and she smiles and nods. Three months later they come back and the woman is pregnant again."Didn't you put your feet in the ten gallon bucket?" the doctor queries.

"Well, we didn't have a ten gallon bucket but I used two five gallon buckets."

I chatted with a girl recently that told me she had 16 Siblings! She makes it 17. No shit! All with the same parents. WTF?

Thats like two soccer teams right?

I told her that her Dad should be castrated!

She giggled and agreed. Then she asked. You have wife sir?

My GF was laughing. When I told about it. Didn't help that she is a Gyn Nurse. LOL.

She has too many horror stories, including girls claiming that the man was 'strong' or 'well, she came too many times' as excuses for getting pregnant.

I buy them all the time without any prescription. 6+6 contains the same amount of Levonorgestrel (1500 micro grams) that one will get in a so called day after pill / emergency pill. The girl often gets sick but better than getting pregnant if you forgot to pull out t-rex.

Of course, I had the fun of telling a girl what is was and then took her to a doctor. Being a bar girl, she lost her inhibition and started to free-range. Course, I forgot to tell her that it is only effective for 3 months. And I quietly moved on.

No clue what transpired subsequently.

[QUOTE=Econo Tech;1257631]If she is your long term squeeze, go for Depo Provera[/QUOTE]Thank you.

I did discuss that with one of them some time ago, but it feel through because she did not like needles and I could not be bothered to write more words in the chat. I think I will suggest depo next time for one of the preferred providers because she does not feel so dandy after eating the Trust pills. I just hope she did not misunderstand me and swallowed 6+6 Trust condoms instead. :/

Barba.

I flew direct to General Santos City, following a 5 hour layover in Manila. Gensan is dead for mongers. Fortunately I have a gf there. Unfortunately after two weeks of sex with the same woman I gave in to my monger desires and fucked my gf s sister, and was caught in the act. While in Gensan I visited Discorama, the place was dead, not even a bar tender. I alo visited Babes Bar which was also dead. There is a KTV bar on the first floor of the building housing Babes. I wandered out for a late night smoke and encountered as table full of KTV girls, a couple of hotties, but for the most part below 5 on the 10 scale. I survived the (please sir we have no money for transportation) pitch, and even waved off a bargain BJ in the nearby mens room. I spent two enjoyable weeks in rural south mindinao, departing a few days ahead of schedule due to the sis fuck.

I arrived in Manila around 5 on Tuesday March 6, I walked down to MBC and chat with Mavel, not so pretty but a real sweetie. I was too tired to waste money on a girl so I walked home alone, and got mugged. Wednesday was spent at the emergency room. Thursday morning I walked the long way to MBC. I sat at the bar for a coffee. Two girls plopped down on either side and made their pitch. They were not my first choice, but I decided to roll with the flow. We walked to a barber shop where I got a shave, then into Robinsons where I bought each a dress for 800 php. I overwhelmed them with kindness and our time together back in my hotel was great. I first fucked the younger prettier girl, we both came well. Later the older, gal exited the jaccuzi tub and joined me on the bed, where the younger gal had dozed off. E proceeded to have great sex. I opted for a condom with each as they appeared to have high mileage. We ordered room service lunch which they departed, and I believe all 3 of us was happy.

I am tied of typing, to be continued.

FBA's post re HIV / AIDS in the Phils is fascinating reading.

I compare it with my country, Australia, which is highly educated, lots of sex education, high condom usage rate.

The population of the Phils is about 5 times that of Australia. 100 million against 20 million.

Phils. 200 reported cases in one month, that is, about 2 cases per mo per million. Australia about 100, that is, about 5 cases per mo per million. That is Australian rate of infection is about 250% that of the Phils.

Phils. 85% are among homosexuals. Australia is a bit higher.

But 85% of the 200 is 170. So 30 to be accounted for. 17 contracted through intravenous drug usage. A bit lower that Australia. So 13 from heterosexual sex, that is, about 0. 13 per million per month. Australian rate is about 5 per year, which is aout 0. 02 per million per mo.

So what do these numbers show?

First, that this is a typical government / media beat up. If the Phils is headed for an epidemic, then, at 250% times the infection rate of the Phils, Australia must be in the grip of a full blown epidemic. But is this what we hear from the Aust govt? Of course not. So the Phils report is very useul, but the headline is typical scare mongering. Or a ploy to get more funding from overseas to fight the problem (more likely)

Second, the infection rates per million per month demonstrate that the risk of HIV infection from bareback sex is negligible. Far less than the risk of death while making your breakfast in your kitchen in the morning.

Interesting,
