Gilbert,
Err, looks like I can't send PMs here. It must be because I am new or something.
But I do have my local Globe cell phone connected to my yahoo messenger, it's suzukigixxer175mph.
I recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to keep your girls lined up in a row, in a manner of speaking. And I can talk to my folks back at home while I am cruising the strip. :)
Does anyone know if I will have trouble bringing 90 generic Viagra tablets with me when I fly into Manila?
Any first hand experience with how well they check bags and suitcases there?
For most places I have travelled to, bringing sex toys, lube, and a bunch of generics has not been a problem. I've not tried the Philippines though.
Any ideas, hints, or suggestions would be appreciated.
P.D.
I would be flying out of Orlando or Miami, in late June or early July.
Airline names, bucket shops, or web pages that could help me in my search for cheap flights, would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

1. I have never had my baggage checked either entering or departing the
Philippines. Notwithstanding that fact, transporting the vitamin V would appear to be perfectly legal however, you would probably want to have the appropriate paperwork with you to back it up.
2. Call a travel agent and ask them to check with a consolidator for pricing. For example, last trip Northwest wanted $1,700.00 from Chicago and that was the cheapest on her screen which was the same as I was seeing with Travelocity and Orbitz. She called the consolidator and got a price of $1,220.00 for the same flight from Northwest.

However, US customs went through all my stuff, including pictures. They were most concernd about porn.

I went in and out of Manila 3 times; they never checked my bags.
I was afraid last time because they had a rather small limit of how much Filipino cash you can take in or out. I think I was over by about 700 pesos or something. I thought about spending it on the plane before entering, but I took my chance and didn't have a problem.
In some places many touts will show and ask you if you want to buy Viagra or Cialis; so I wouldn't be worried about it even if they found it.
I will arrive in Manila on August 3rd and go to the LA Cafe.
I will just stay in Manila for one or two nights then go to Angeles for about 4 or 5 days. After that I want to go to somehwere I haven't been before; most likely I will go to Cebu for 3 or 4 nights. I will then have a couple days left open to go where I want before going back to Manila and flying off to Thailand. I was thinking about spending a night or two in Puerta Galera.

Getting to and from Puerta Galera is a bit difficult if you have a fixed schedule. You need to drive or bus two and a half hours through bad traffic to Batangas city then take a morning ferry (so loose first night). There is a good Day’s Inn near SM Mall there. Alternatively you need to leave Manila about 3:30 am (in which case good traffic).
There are passenger ferries directly to Sabang. I think it is a 2 hour crossing on large bankas, which are fine in good weather but you don’t want to be on one when the rain or wind picks up. There are also car ferries that go to 1) a nearby (5 miles? ) or 2) not so nearby (25 miles on bad roads through the forest) towns. These don’t all run every day, and in bad weather they too get canceled.
I would not go Puerto Galera unless you have some leeway if you get stuck due to weather. If you have only two nights Subic might be a better option. With the new road from NLEX to Subic Bay Freeport you can drive/bus/taxi in two and a half hours from Manila, and less than an hour from Angeles. Then at night take a trike to check out Barrio Barretto and Subic City, which can be wild, even more wild west than Angeles. The diving is also quite good in Subic.
Also, while Angeles is sex heaven, after a few days I find it quite booring. I would spend more time in Manila, Cebu or Subic, where there is also lots otherwise to do, and less in Angeles.
As for passing through Manila Airport (NAIA), I have never been searched coming in. If you are western it is highly unlikely. The limit on taking pesos out of the country is quite low, I think P10, 000 equal to about US$200. I have only ever been hassled leaving the country when I had about PSP20, 000 or US$400 in my pocket. When you leave, everything is x-rayed. I have seen people stopped for sea shells and knives, that is about it. You will be physically searched before boarding so don’t have anything in your pockets you don’t want shown to the world. Any extra pesos, pills or toys should be inside your checked luggage (best) or your carry on (second best) and there should be no problem
Bob Bowie, when you said that US customs when through your pictures, what exactly did they do? Go through your camera? Your computer? What did the find and do?
Bus leaves every morning for Puerto Galera from CityState Hotel in Ermita. Sunday mornings are recommended due to significantly less congestion on the road, much of which is under construction/repair. Price is around 500 pesos. The bus is air conditioned and comfy.
The bus takes you to Batangas docks and you choose your boat (banca) as per where you are going on Mindoro. Cost as I recall for banca is about 200 pesos but at the ferry docs, they will hit you for anothers 200 peso departure fee. Its all very cheap to get there from Manila. If you are going to Puerto Galera for beach time, stay away from Sabang as the beach is pretty much non-existent. For beaches, go to the White Beach side of Mindoro. Most poontang will be found in Sabang though but beware of the shabu problem with the girls in the clubs in Sabang. Both times I was in Puerto Galera, I brought my own girl from Manila. Given the quality (or lack thereof) of the girls in Sabang, my better judgment in brining a girl from Manila benefited me.
Both times, I paid the girl nothing to accompany me. A couple of bikinis and sarongs and some cheap costume jewelry from the beach stores plus transportation and hotel was all that I paid. Total for beach wear and necklaces, etc. was under 1,000 pesos. Both girls I took saw the opportunity to go to PG as an all inclusive week long vacation and they snapped at that opportunity like hungry salmon. Cost of room at White Beach Resort was about $33.00 USD a night. The hotel was clean, safe and perpendicular to the beach with plenty of food and drink places all within a short walk. All rooms have air and cable TV.
Coming 26 July. 6. 00 pm Manila by Gulf Air.
