[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2716952]I don't have those skills and I am not going to risk being in big doo doo in Manila.

I did check up for the 10000th time travelling from Thailand to Philippines on a US passport unvaccunated. Mixed signals: 1. No entry. 2. Covid test needed.

I am not going to get caught out with such cross messages, arguing with an immigration moron.[/QUOTE]You don't just run in and rob a bank; you stake it out first. Your uneasiness is from not knowing how the process works. When I entered Thailand you had to register with Thailand Pass. You upload your vaccine card and shit. Then when you are approved, they send you a qr code to print out. When you arrived at the airport in Bangkok they are only checking for the qr code. Nobody is scrutinizing your documents or calling around to check if they are authentic. I used to date a chick that worked at a bank. She said the best time to rob it is at lunch time because they don't have time to drop the money.

Will PM you.

[/QUOTE]Got it, will reply soon.

Landed in NAIA terminal 3 the other night. Easy peasy entry with One Health Pass QR code. You register online with One Health Pass online 48 hours before landing. They said before departure but it wouldn't let me do that. Also OHP will email you hard copy which never happened. Just screen shot the QR code for entry.

Upon landing a few meters into the airport they will check you for your QR code. If you have one then you proceed on. If not, there is a separate line to show your vaccination card and get processed.

I moved on to immigration. Right before immigration they scan your QR code and then you moved forward to immigration. No lines. I was finished in 2 minutes. Possibly because my plane landed 20 minutes early and there were no other planes. Clearly they were caught off guard as there were only 3 immigration lines. As I went thru the line I could see 4 other immigration officers rushing to open up.

Is school about to re-open? Gentlemen, start your (financial) engines.

The pinay will be asking for their college, or their kids stuff, soon. Uniforms, shoes, backpacks, tuition, projects, test fees and fees for this and fees for that; all manner of supply. Those in-country are about to be swamped in poon-juice.

A couple of trips ago, I arrived in Cebu at the beginning of exam season and left completely drained. It's still burnt into my memory.

I'm not jealous. Really I'm not. 🤬.

Enjoy. G.

For those of us that have been clipped for thousands of dollars for last minute flights to the Phils lately, some good news via Jennifer Terry (first mentioned by West Coast).

Up to now it was necessary to present a negative covid test even if you were just laying over for a few hours in Taipei before getting the next flight to Manila. Just to be in the transit lounge! That obviously stopped lots of people from using Eva. From July 14, this crazy rule has been dropped and using the USA-Taipei-Manila route is back on.

I've been looking at the JFK Taipei Manila flights for September and they can be had for a little over $1 K. An incredible improvement. This undoubtedly will put pressure on PAL to lower their exorbitant prices.

I didn't pay her balance, but I contributed a few k pesos to her cause. Very tired after those 2 days together! LOL!

Getting a PCR test in Manila if needed. "Swab and Go", several locations in the NCR. P2350 (looks like 24 hours maybe) to p3350 (results 4-8 hours).

Very disappointed. But all the advice and info this community provided will not go to waste.

I will reschedule early next year.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

I'm a new monger here but I have been to Costa Rica twice and am absolutely in love with this hobby. However I want to look into the Philippines. Where do I go to look for working girls? How much does do they usually charge? Is there a monger friendly area?

Filipinas are super conservative and never have sex before marriage. Prostitution is highly illegal and penalty is death if you get caught. Stay away!

The rain and heat might get you before Covid.

Hydrate. Hydrate.

I am just fearing more brown outs and / or blackouts.

Or if you need details as your question begs so many better PM me.

Look forward to it.

Just stay away from selling Avon cosmetics and herbal teas and the OP might be just fine?
