[QUOTE=SergeantRay;1653461]Once in Puerto Galera the boatman told the girl I was with all about the girl I had taken on the boat yesterday. All in Tagalog. Of course, if the girl I was with hadn't told me about it, I would have been totally unaware.[/QUOTE]Filipino men have no money & no manners (they blab). Pinays are surrounded by a sea of Pinoy BF's but as soon a they let them shag them, the guy will run all over her barangay blabbing his farking mouth off.
As you just discovered, security guards, doormen, reception staff, wait persons, taxi drivers & any other staff you interact with can reliably expected to tip a can of shit on you every chance they get.
If staying in one place you can mitigate by tipping well, giving little food gifts etc to buy a little discretion from them. Knowing a few rudimentary words of the language & bluffing staff into thinking you can understand what they are saying tends to tone down their big mouths. Lastly, try to vary your routine so that you're not too easily tracked. In the end best to be upfront that you're a busy boy.
