I had to use my travel credit by end of December. So I booked to Istanbul- Manila- Cebu- Bangkok- Pattaya in November. Hopefully everything will be open then. I have had vaccine back in January- Moderna.
Right now all the top hotels have good prices. Just do not pre pay. Pay at hotel only which can be cancelled couple days before. Got Conrad in Manila for $95 . Waterfront in Cebu was just $70 with breakfast. All 5 star hotels are cheap as well.
[QUOTE=Sammon;2553307]Got Conrad in Manila for $95 .[/QUOTE]Any particular reason you picked Conrad, instead of something closer to the action? Do they have freelancers in the complex? Conrad is pretty deep into that mall of asia compound. When I was walking down mabini street these touts tried to get me to go to a brothel near mall of asia, they pointed to a spot north of the mall of asia. Is this some kind of mongering hotspot?
Waterfront I can understand its basically a giant brothel. Is this just proximity to the airport, as the conrad and waterfront are both pretty close to the airport?
[QUOTE=MontanaMonger;2553237]Philippines IATA Travel pass?
It looks like the Philippines is seriously considering reopening the latter half of this year at least trying to organize this digital passport and simplify this process hopefully. I downloaded the app to give it a test drive but it requires an invitation code right now.
It says it will be used "Philippine flag carrier's flights from Manila to LOS Angeles and Singapore on select dates from May to June 2021", So this kind of app imo is more geared towards business and tourists at least we see some prep work going into reopening travel.
Cebu Pacific also raised some money to help vaccinate I assume its staff and prepare for the domestic reopening. It will be interesting to see what requirements will be necessary / accepted to fly. Since vaccine efficacy is all over the place I have been putting it off so I can get the vaccine these airlines deem travel worthy, I also want to have them roll the variant booster shoot into my 2nd dose to avoid a 3 shot if possible.

Cebu Pacific Raises $250 Million As Gokongwei's Airline Prepares For Travel Recovery.

Lived there for two years. For those who don't know, for some more of the advanced medical issues you have to go to Manila to the hospital to get treatment since they may not have a particular specialist on island. Not so much for those who make use of the Naval Hospital on Guam where if you really needed something advanced, they would fly you back to Tripler in Hawaii. Even your private health insurance policies in Guam have built into them the travel costs for at least 2 trips to Manila to see a doctor.
It seems that not all the LBFMs who come to Australia get to cohabit with RWMs:

[QUOTE=AussieGaigin;2553434]It seems that not all the LBFMs who come to Australia get to cohabit with RWMs:[/QUOTE]Indentured servitude unfortunately is an all too common pinoy on pinoy crime. Almost all off the countries I've worked in and have had the chance to talk to the OFWs have indentured servants or "relatives" that work or very little or no pay. Sometimes direct payment to the worker is not given and could be in the form of payments back home so that they cannot "run away". If you hang out in the province long enough the OFWs often times try to take advantage of the family members because they are supporting them to begin with and since they aren't doing anything get talked into tending a store or being a yaya almost for free, I mean this happens on a lesser scale in the province to begin with but they see nothing wrong with it. They don't get paid for tending the sari-sari store, or watching the nieces and nephews, they might get paid inadvertently with food or shelter but rarely monetarily so one could see how this would not seem out of order to an OFW.

Look at Singapore and all of those Pinay women working there. They only get one day off, Sunday that's why you see them all hanging out doing all of their money transfers, shopping, ettc. , and pre-COVID the bars in Orchard Towers would be at max capacity on a Sunday afternoon with women dancing the afternoon away before the 9 pm curfew some of them may have.
There are some that may have more liberal leaning employers but for the most part all those maids you see in places like Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. Are under the same rules.
But the girls working in places like Singapore and Hong Kong would be under government approved and controlled programs, and actually get regular "wages" for their efforts.
I'm not aware of similar programs in Australia. We do have a "working holiday visa" program which allows foreigners limited working conditions, but Philippines is not a participating country.
This particular girl seems to have been "employed" illegally outside of our visa system, which is why it makes the news media. Similar cases have been reported before, many in the sex industry.
[QUOTE=Drbombay;2553497]That seems about the norm in most places. Look at Singapore and all of those Pinay women working there. They only get one day off, [/QUOTE]Don't they get less than that off in the Philippines?
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2553619]Don't they get less than that off in the Philippines?[/QUOTE]I worked at place once where gate openers / security guards had rosters of 6 months on, never off. By that I mean they were on post for 6 months 24/7, had their food etc brought to them, had a small latrine and shower area nearby and at the end of the 6 months their contract was finished and they went home.
No idea what their salary was but there was no shortage of applicants.
[QUOTE=WestCoast1;2552595]That's correct, GG. Dr. Westy's Research Institute, here at the Sam Houston Institute of Technology, is always: pushing forward. My efforts here are: ongoing. My patients here seem to be: pinay. My work is: plugging along. Injections are: intense and recurring. My method is: 'spike protein injection'. Regular booster shots are: encouraged. Patients say that after treatment they feel: very relaxed. The doctor finds his work: highly stimulating. Patients are encouraged to: pre-coat the injector with their own saliva (5 minutes shows a real promise, separate work is continues to be done in this area). With as many patients as I have, the doctor seems to have acquired: a herd.
In the pic, you can see that some of the injected vax is leaking out at the point of the injection. That happens sometimes. This girl will be encouraged to stop by again in a few days for a repeat injection. In fact this process might need to be repeated many times before she is fully immunized. She is not fully immunized until: the doctor says she is fully immunized.
Once the research is complete, I am hoping we can get an army of foreigners to come back here and learn my Der WestCoastian method of delivery, and get out there and deliver multiple jabs to as many pinay as possible. Gents, don't forget to bring your deliver tool with you.[/QUOTE]Following on from the pioneering work carried out by Dr Westy, I had my deliver tool up and ready earlier this afternoon and carried out a 'spike protein injection' on one of my regulars here in Cebu City. It was administered orally, and I have found that there is less likelihood of leakage compared with a vaginal injection, especially when the patient swallows.
I also find my work to be highly stimulating.
The patient had no concerns or worries about the immunization treatment today and is aware that she needs to come back for a booster shot next week, though the next shot will be administered vaginally.
There are some pics below of the patient, down on her knees getting ready for the injection, then going to work on my deliver tool, and then after I shot my spike protein you can see her doing a full swallow to make sure there was no wastage.

And the girl is further immunized*. Excellent der WestCoastian methodology there. The Members should use Mdemde's post as a primer.
Our work carries forward.
* I realize that semen-injection vaccination (S-I / V) takes a lot more than 2 doses. A LOT MORE. But the two-dose vaxes are expensive, and harm a lady's pocketbook. On the other hand, S-I / V can often times *help* a lady's pocketbook. Hence, the ladies here tend to "Fall in line", repeatedly. And this just in: Studies show that repeated S-I / V is effective whether administered orally, vaginally, anally, or facially. Gents, learning der WestCoastian method means you too can help eradicate this. Once that's done, our army of volunteers can then also go after influenza, rhinovirus, shingles, yeast infections, peanut allergy, H Pylori, rickets, gout-n-gerd, acne, in-grown toenails, scoliosis, and a variety of other ailments.
I routinely get excited about this work. The good we do. . . The good WE do!

It's great to see you spreading inoculations far and wide. I think destitute single mothers form the ideal seed group for herd immunisation. They will return to their trike driving boyfriends and shabu addicted husbands and pass on the vaccine.
Perhaps consider contacting the Member for Manila in my previous post. Soon he will also be doing God's work, one facial at a time.
Enjoy. G.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2553820]It's great to see you spreading inoculations far and wide. [/QUOTE]TYS. Fortunately yesterday I was able to inoculate a young lass less than half my age. Twice. I continue to plough myself into this work, thrusting home my agenda. She returns for another S-I / V treatment Monday, and she should be fully inoculated by Christmas. Following that, I intend to start inoculating her against possible sciatica. After that, fibromyalgia. These are busy times.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2553820]Soon he will also be doing God's work [/QUOTE]Praise be. Praise be!
From today's newspaper The Sunday Times. The Phils vaccine Czar is saying he expects herd immunity by October of this year. I nearly fell over this morning when I saw the headline in the newspaper. Is that possible?
According to the article: Another 100 k doses have arrived, bringing the total to 3. 525 million. The government says it needs to innoculate 70 million people to reach herd immunity. 1. 6 million have been inoculated, front-liners and seniors. The government expect a steady supply of vaccines starting third quarter of this year. They have a mass-vax simulation planned where they will be able to vax up to 120,000 persons per day. Multiple companies will be delivering jabs: Sinovac mostly so far, then CoronaVac, Sputnik V, and Moderna. In total, about 9 million doses with future arrivals.
How does that get to 70 million people inoculated?

Rather than questioning the govt's figures, my suggestion would be the following:
-Mobilize the western "work force" still in PHIL.
-Assign them to deliver semen COVID vaccine to a minimum of 2 filipinas / day, 7 days / week. If the word is spread to these young filipinas, they will line up for the vaccine.
-Again, each girl needs at least one dose now and one dose in 30 days. Preferably delivered intravaginally or anally.
-No need for a placebo group.
I bet I could write a very convincing letter to the editor of a Manilla paper touting the benefits of semen delivered COVID vaccine hahahahaha.
You do need to publish some results (with more pics) on this board.
