It sounds like you're enjoying yourself. Live it up. Just be careful about catching feelings.

Corporate girl is well aware that I'm here for a few weeks more only, not months or years, and that for me to return, this stay need to be an enjoyable experience.
Enjoy. G.

Posts: 7691That's about right. Its not cheap, its the cost of getting some trim. If you aren't paying direct p4p, its more like dating, with the money being spent in other ways. Is it cheaper to pay her to leave? Maybe. Depends on how much of her sh*t you can put up with (and for how long).

Even with my regular gals, there are additional costs besides the rewards money. Besides fare, there are meals, nights out sometimes 'going around', and other assorted sundries. Living here can be different than regular mongering strict p4p, the lines blur.

Posts: 4479Is free sex cheap sex??
Recently I have been hooking up with a girl who has a good job and her own money. She's 29, good looking, no kids so her body is still pristine and, I haven't paid for any allowances, inflated "taxi money" or fiscal "emergencies". Her only requirements are that she will not be seen going in and out of a cheap hotel for hookups with a foreigner and that I have to fit in with her work commitments. Frankly, the latter is not insignificant and organising one off dates, meals etc was a PITA. She's in my recent posts as the corporate girl.
So what has this "free" sex cost me?? I've moved out of a cheap Red Doorz to a Airbnb (+1000 p / day), I'm booking her Grab to and from work (+120 p / day). Food is a zero nett as 2000 p in groceries lasted nearly a week but she did the cooking so no restaurants or Grab Food.
The benefits?? After a lot of ground work, sex is on tap for 5 nights a week including most of the weekend that she stays here. I'm not getting any daytime infills. I was paying 2 k for two STs or one LT per day. However, this wasn't always straightforward with the usual online flakes, scammers, and misrepresentations.
I think financially, it's a wash and I'm likely breaking even. Sex-wise she's pressing all the right buttons and after a long visit I was over the nightly online dramas and scatter brained 19 year olds.
It will be interesting to see if there is a long game at play but so far so good.
Enjoy. G.

Posts: 1013Student costs
I once posted an ad offering to pay all costs for a student, all she had to do was live in and take care of me. So annual tuition costs plus 5 k or so for her monthly pocket money.

However I had a lot of fun "interviewing' possible candidates. If I end up near a university, I will try it again.

Posts: 3671That looks like a local community college tuition. Still need to add in room and board.

Posts: 3671Tuition and monthly living expenses
Tuition runs from 32 k-52 k a semester depending upon the major and location. A tourism degree is around 32 k while a nursing degree in Cebu is 52 k. Additional costs for projects and other assignments.
Monthly living costs range from 10 k-16 k a month depending upon dorm room and transportation costs. Food costs is probably the same in each location. Some dorms cost less but are further away thereby increasing the transportation cost. Some dorms costs more but are within walking distance.

Posts: 131Good strategy
This sounds like a pretty good strategy. From what I've gleaned from Google Fu, it seems that most of the BI offices in the provinces open at 9. I imagine it will be similarly empty around then, just 90 minutes later.

Posts: 111Fees and Dorm
80 K Pesos an year for studies is manageable for folks in the US to sponsor someone to school (and it may be a good thing for thr world). Its a cost of SBUX coffee every day for folks in the US. Not big. My problem with these folks are two fold (a) they never show their school invoice and (b) more importantly would never allow you to pay them online. I do sponsor some kids education in some countries. One of the girls I sponsored is from India (since I am of indian origin) -- her mom works as a domestic help to one of my aunts in India. Every semester, the girl would send me her invoice, and ask me to log into her college account to pay her fees. She would reset her password after I paid. I could see all her transcripts. She had failed in english in one of the semesters, and I asked my aunt to get her an english tuition that I paid. Would prefer if these girls show that level of transparency. Lack of such transparency, its a game these girls play to extract money in creative ways.

Posts: 992I have first hand knowledge about this, my GF was paying 40 k / semester at the university of cebu, plus boarding, food and transportation, all that adds up, then once graduated there are all kind of accreditation exams, and board exams, and they all cost money and some require additional courses. I met her when she was graduated already, but I wanted to know all about it. Some years ago I met a pharmacy student and she was paying 38 k / semester in manila.

Posts: 4479Thanks. I was just after a rough indication. I'm not looking to pick up any specific bills of the girls. Just wanted to know the impact of 1500 p. It seems it would be a significant help to the month's finances espnif she's in a provincial college

Posts: 7691Hard to answer this. Each school has different fees. You can contact the school and ask them their fee schedules. There are also exam fees and project fees, uniforms must be purchased, and so on. Regardless of the school's semester or annual fee, these other items such as test and project fees are additional, and a p1500 contribution in the province is considerable. Its also possible that your contribution might be for bola reasons: She might not need it for what she says, and she will end up throwing a booze-filled weekend with friends or her boyfie, showing up at Monday's class with a hangover.

The rent sounds a bit high in the province, but not out of bounds.

Posts: 7691Government offices open at 7:30 am. I like to go to the BI at that time, because there is no line (except for the Intramuros BI office). For about 30 minutes, you have the run of the place. It can't get much easier. To be fair to timeframe, you have 2 choices at the BI office when extending. The first choice is to leave your PP with the BI office for 3 business days, then return to pick up the PP and extension; cost is about p2000. Second choice is to check on the application form 'Express 1-hour', which costs p1000 more, to get yours processed in 1 hour. You either return an hour later to get it, or just wait until they call your name if its completed early. When I am the only person in the office at 7:40 am, I am usually out the door by 8 am*.

Fixers work for / with travel agents. You contact most any travel agent in a mall and they can direct you to agents who do the 'fixer' work for you. Have any of you gents heard of an agency losing a PP?
* Caveat. Have had this odd situation happen before, once at Intramuros (covid), and once in the province. In both instances, the various BI officers handle the paperwork (intake officer, cashier, processing officer, etc), and the extension was issued with receipt and inserted in the back of my PP and set aside with the final officer. I watched it happen. It all happened in 15-20 minutes. I was the only one there. Then they waited, the last officer had it sitting on his / her desk. I walked over and looked at it, then sat down again. 45 or so minutes later: "Sir Coast? West Coast?" I walked over and they handed it to me. They made me wait the full hour. Still searching my mind why they would do that, but I was just a guest. Some small good news: If you use the Intramuros BI office, there is a Starbucks across the street.

Posts: 4479Thanks. That basically meshes up with what I was expecting.
