Yes I use my phone and have card as backup. Works fine and very quick e. G. Starbucks, 7-11. But cash is king in bars and small shops.

Payments with my phone work fine and faster than cash and the same as card. Advantage is the card stays locked.

Yep. I got it all to work.

I don't have an ACR so couldn't activate a GCash wallet. PayMaya was good to go with only my Local Sim, Passport and hotel's address. Cash in from home was instantaneous. At SM, after they went and got the QR code generator, my purchase was as fast as a tap and go Card. Pizzas at Greenwich was a little slower because they had the QR code at the register but I had to key in the amount paid. Still only seconds.

So, yes, the lost card is a PITA but I've got accommodation (Agoda), transport (Grab), food (Grab deliveries or PayMaya in person) available with out cash. For the little left over I can use my Home Master Card in the ATM. Foreign service fees are horrendous but I won't need much.

I might even ask the girls about paying via GCash transfer. 😁.

Cheers. G.

Why does it take forever? In VND it's was tap and go. The same time as using a card and faster than fumbling with cash and change. I'll give it a go today at a few places and report back.

Looks like I have dropped my Wise card that I use for debit card payments and ATM withdrawals while travelling. I've got a Wise digital card and it's linked to my G Pay wallet on my phone.

Has any one used their phone to make contactless payments and / or ATM withdrawals in the Philippines?

Before anyone asks, I don't have GCash and can't get it.

If all else fails I've got other cards but I prefer to use Wise if I can.

Thanks. G.

Nope, but I hate it to hell when I am behind the person in line to pay with their mobile for a stupid cup of coffee that takes forever to complete the transaction.

I've seen reference to girls using Instagram as a way of getting business, identifying themselves as 'models' or escorts etc. I've been searching but to no avail. Do they do this in the Philippines? If anyone has links to any 'insta models' (or even contacts to recommended girls) I would be eternally grateful for a pm.

A waste of time. My clothing business has five Insta pages and the models we use are all Westerners, some of which are OnlyFans girls. The Pina's just can't get their heads around Insta and are cemented in Facebook.

Any Pina's you find on Insta will not be the type of girl who's likely to hook-up with a guy browsing the forums on ISG. If they're on there, they're usually genuine modelling material. I've tried to get a few Pina's to model some raunchy lingerie for me and set them up with Insta accounts and help them make some cash on the side, but their business model is bedding foreigners for cash and that's it.

The Western girls I work with use Insta as a 'shopfront' to direct guys to their OnlyFans pages. I'll attach some sample pics of one of my models in Australia. Pina's know how to sell pussy in person, but not necessarily on Insta.

I don't have a set 'type' but I am sometimes fond of petite little spinners when one can be found. I've picked up quite a few over the years in various countries. Some looking at the lower age limit of legal. I'm a little terrified of making this mistake and finding myself breaking the law. What checks do you conduct before taking her to your room? Are fake ids common, so you could find yourself with a 16 or 17 year old but think she was 18 or above?

Mate, don't even go there. Morals aside, Prisons in The Phils aren't a pretty place. If you're questioning her age, she's too young.

Dude, you are playing with fire. This is an area known for set ups and scams. There are many and recent cases of guys loosing serious cash or serving significant jail time.

It's not as simple as getting caught, alone, in your room and her age. There are clauses about simply being in the company ie out in public. There are others based on age difference not only her absolute age.

These technicalities and loop holes allow plenty of room for charges to be laid or dreamt up against you.

Run!!

As soon as my work and annoying business dinners is concluded, I will be spending some vacation time in manila, angeles, and Subic. Thanks to anyone who can assist me on my quest.

Lots of Instahoes in the Philippines. A word of warning: a million simps world wide sending them cash for a few saucy pics and videos generates an extreme sense of entitlement. Don't expect them to be in your room, sucking your dick, after a couple of DMs. P10 k per hour is a typical starting point and then it might be only after buying video packs etc.

The easiest way is to search for the locations used for the typical selfie, travel or clubbing shots. Boracay, Bohol, Aqua, Pina etc. PinaLove girls are now routinely listing their IG# in their profile. Then disappear down the followers of followers rabbit hole. Follow a few and IG will start recommending more. Note, you want girls with 1-50,000 followers. You have a chance with them. Forget the girls in the millions. Manila has stunners, AC has girls heading there for the weekend clubbing, Subic are just pretty girls trying their luck.

Prepare yourself. This will not be a cheap exercise.

Not a market I dabble in but IG model pricing:

Enjoy G.

Don't forget that you can also create groups or lists in WhatsApp to use that as a secondary level of organisation. I also use the company Field as the source info, and the group for location.

I did the big purge. 4500 to 23 in Contacts and WhatsApp. While I was at it, I did the same for photos. Obviously tonnes of deadwood. Now even I can remember who is who.

I may have kept a couple who, while I'll probably never see them again, bring back great memories. 🙂.

I do young looking ones only when staying at a place with a reception or security guard, and I ask them to check the girls credentials, therefore if something goes wrong I do have a witness that she presented herself as being of legal age, and she may be also accused of forgery of official documents.
For example I got these 2 students at the Clark Museum, and I was afraid about them lying about their age, especially the one to the left so they had to be checked.

Interesting article, in the mold of passport bro's. Topic: Women in the US who simply can't be dated, because her life is too easy and she has no need for you.

No wonder the fellas flock to asia.

A friend of mine recently told me of a beauty he'd taken to his hotel in Indonesia who confessed she was only 17. He'd been told she was 18 before taking her to his room.

Honestly, if you like them on the younger side, it is a risk. Get verbal age (and consent) from the girl. Ask to see her ID. Now, the Philippines has a hodgepodge of IDs. Any of them could be fake, potentially, but some are harder to fake. National ID or a passport is the best to ask to see. Others, such as Postal ID, could also be okay. Stay away from things that could be easily forged, like certifications, barangay or police clearances, etc.

Finding girls in a place where they have to be legal to work (such as a bar or a job that requires a diploma or degree) is also a good idea. And, more than anything, be aware of your surroundings. If your gut tells you something might be off, trust it. You don't want to end up the target of blackmail or a shakedown.

I think the koreans like them looking like kids, if you go to Sky Falls they all look like kids, probably they are over 18 otherwise wouldn't be working in a bar, but for me is a no go. The bad thing is that the older they are, the more likely is to have babies, and therefore baby damage, and I should add: brain damage also.
