[QUOTE=EngineDriver;2157540]When a silly punter decides to date or marry a hooker, he should understand that he will always be way down on her list of priorities. Her priorities, in order of importance are:

1. Her children.

2. Her parents.

3. Her siblings.

4. Her Filipino boyfriend or husband.

5. The foreign boyfriend or husband.

That's how it was, that's how it is and that's how it will always be. So along as you are happy to be Priority number 5, then please continue to send her money each month.[/QUOTE]You forgot the money!

She will sell herself, her parents, children, anyone and anything for the sake of money. You don't know Filipinos well, if you consider they will give their last peso to parents or sister. They are selfish, and they think about themselves in the first place.

Today's news discloses that Grab has bought out Uber in Philippines and Uber will no longer continue.

Note the letter sent to all subscribers today.

UBER.

We want to share some news with you. Uber will be combining our operations with Grab to lead you in the next chapter of ridesharing in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia.

What this means for you: we will be transitioning our services over to the Grab platform by April 8, 2018, so all requests after that date should be made from the Grab app.

However, you can still use the Uber app in more than 80 countries around the world.

What you should do:

Download the Grab app.

Create an account.

For more information on this transition, please visit Uber or Grab.

Thank you, and we look forward to continuing to serve your city with Grab.

Regards,

Uber.

My buddy sent me an article about it last month. The article also said that Uber is talking about doing in Initial Public Offering next year which I will be all over.

To understand the cash economy of SE Asia.

To understand the SE asia market.

To pay off the right people especially in Philippines.

My understanding is that they now have about 25% of the Grab entity.

I was using Grab anyway.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2158604]I thought that was already a done deal.[/QUOTE]I asked the girl that left this morning if she preferred Uber or Grab and she said that they were the same company.

Shows how up to date some of the financial reporting is when they are out gunned by a 20 year-old PYT. . . LOL.

Now it's official, (well, after April 8 that is).

Interestingly enough, on my last 6 rides, all to the same destination, I used Grab twice and regular taxis 4 times. The regular taxi fare was two-thirds the price of the Grab price on each occasion, and the regular taxis were clean, new and the driver courteous too. I will be sticking to using the regular taxis when I can.

I meant to thank you for this reply sooner, but got sidetracked. Pretty much what Engine Driver said.

[QUOTE=RedKilt;2146304]Such a strategy as described by XMan (such as handing out your card or contact details) may have worked in the past but it is risky these days if you are not extremely careful about who you target.

You need to have some interaction of a positive nature from any girl / woman before you indiscriminately hand out your details just because you like the look of someone. Many women today are much more savvy about harassment and it could backfire on you.

I know 2 examples: one in SM Manila where a girl reported a guy to security who tried this on and the security guy merely told him to stop doing it so it was not a big deal. A more serious example occurred in Ayala Mall in Cebu 4 or 5 years ago where the target girl told her parents about this creepy guy who had chatted her up in the mall and shared his card, and they reported him to the police who set up a sting using his number to teach him a lesson (and no doubt gather some additional remuneration).

In theory it sounds good but you need to use your common sense and good judgement. As has been said many times here before by me and others, a very large percentage of the 50 million filipinas living here (including baristas) would be highly insulted by such a stunt if it came out of the blue.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2158624]Cash was not a problem. There has been the option to use cash for a while. Maybe the account has to be set up with a card though.[/QUOTE]Eventually they took cash, initially it was CCard only.

Also note your screenshot shows peso amount with a $ sign. If you were a filipino, only living and working in RP and Grab app displays peso as Peso and the other Uber app kind of looks 'adapted" to peso naturally the Grab app will be more comfortable to use. Uber simply did not understand what was needed.

I was just trying to show the ability to pay in cash. Here is one from PI that shows P for pesos.

I do like sending the girl home in a Grab instead of trike. I don't like that the Grab drivers soon learns that a booking for Mr Brain Drain often is for a single female. I need two Grab accounts. A legitimate account and a mongering account.

Grab has some AI that predicts where I want to go. SO it is no good that when I'm leaving work at 5 pm in the afternoon it is suggesting I go to Perimeter bars.

BD.[/QUOTE]Quite a lot of girls are using Grab themselves (in Manila anyway) so why don't you let them order a cab themselves? And then you can give them cash for the fare.
And if they are not already using Grab you can ask them to download the app.

This article does not say where this chap contracted his bug but The Phils certainly could be likely. Be careful out there guys.

Bar girls who fail hygiene routinely, work through their "tulo" (clap) by freelancing at discos and online. Bareback mongers who fuck them get a little something extra with the discount rate. There is a good chance that the new "super clap" that recently debuted in the UK, traveled to London aboard the monger's dick on a flight out of Manila. Again, nothing surprising here, as it is expected that in mongering districts like P. Burgos and AC, mongers carrying different strains of the clap from around the globe converge on and fuck the same pussies bareback allowing the bacteria to exchange DNA coded for multi-drug resistance. Think of Pinay pussy as an international clearinghouse for cocks and their passengers.
