[QUOTE=WanderLuster;1586007]One of the best nights of my life, as for others, trace to that place for about $100.
This quote from the article reminds me of what we have to remember the PH is about but NOT what Jaguar was / is about. Classic Quote "Amancio clutched a small statue of the Blessed Virgin, while Seno held a prayer book and icon of the Holy Child. Both also wore medallions. ".[/QUOTE]FYI Jaguar has been closed for some time now.
[QUOTE=WanderLuster;1586010]Wrong website! Use the paid site F Heart. FAR better unless you are more poor than guys in PH to afford subscription. And no offense made to PH guys. The just don't have oppties like in the West for work.[/QUOTE]Wrong Website!
FYI Filipina Heart hasn't been around for some time now. I think it was back in 2010 when they rebranded themselves into Filipino Cupid. That's four years mate.
[QUOTE=WickedRoger;1586149]I don't use any web site WL, I am lucky to have time and patience on my side plus a good referral network that helps my friends introduce to their other sexy friends. I do use Facebook. Well not mine but the girls so I can spot cute ones and say " she is cute you think she would like to meet for coffee" or more naughty " do you thinks she would threesome with us" LOL.[/QUOTE]WR,
When a member quotes his own posts (and replies to say he agrees with his earlier thought) as he did today on another Cebu thread, something's a little off. Judging from this thread where the member in question added four posts in a row, he's only interested in getting his post count up with useless dribble. My guess would be he's someone that's never spent any time in the RP (but wishes he could).
[QUOTE=StrokerAce88;1586248]WR,

Also sometimes people should take their own advice
[QUOTE=WanderLuster;1580995]But at age 40 I lived in Cebu for many months / over a year, and the number of incredible nights with girls there I'll never forget. Some were GF, others were from bars..[/QUOTE][QUOTE=WanderLuster;1546057]Stogis,
I don't know why people recomend Mactan. I had a company in Cebu when I was in my 30s. Matan is not where it's at! Stay in Cebu City. Marriot is good! WL.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=WanderLuster;1544410]I owned a biz in Cebu from '05 to '07 and the main reasons ……
I was back in 2012 for 4 months ..[/QUOTE][QUOTE=WanderLuster;1093165]Why bother posting on this board if your such a genius and everyone else is so stupid?[/QUOTE]
WR,
IMO his posts have a certain 'Hug Monster' quality about them.

Am sure HM was someone tugging at people's chains and likely an existing ISG member.
But we live in hope they never reappear again thought reports are that Calipro is posting again but the usual drivel and claims. One day these posters will post pictures to prove all they claim.
This article appeared in the Sun Star whereby all foreigners will be monitored. While the thrust of the article talks about keeping visitors etc safe at times of natural disasters, the last sentence IMHO is ominous. I know in some other blogs / parts of the Philippines where this was discussed and / or is suggested to be introduced, the last sentence is unwelcome by many expats. As the PNP are not known for their 'true and fair approach' at times many think the real reason for this new network is to check who has what etc and 'use' it when Christmas comes around (as it tends to do monthly in the Philippines).
Some of the expats I have spoken with don't like this at all. They are very concerned that the PNP will get access to their data that is more than what is held on the immigration database when you enter the country.
Lets see how this plays out.

These people were being protected within quite a large community of South Asians.
I know a South Korean businessman in my condo who was deported for conducting a business on a tourist visa.
What WR refers to is probably an extension of that "visa-checking" program.
These foreigners on false or expired visas are breaking the law so they have no defence. They forget they are living in a foreign country, so it's no use getting all upset because filipinos decide to apply the law as they see fit. It's their country after all.
If you are not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Best to fly under the radar at all times. Despite lots of adverse comments about the PNP there are a few smart guys in NBI whose attention I certainly would not like to attract. They are trained overseas and they are competent.
RK, can we search your person, your residence and your comments on ISG. After all, if you are doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. X.

However, some in Cebu I spoke with are wary of giving any information to the PNP to use other than what is given in the entry form on arrival or the renewal of their residence / retirement permits. It is seen by some as sinister. But I agree the overstayers need to be sorted out. This is done on the Middle East very regularly. But is all done by immigration not police (until the people are forcibly removed from the country).
RK's advice is valid and based on experience. Never draw attention to your self unlike one member in Cebu.
You have nothing to worry about if you are not doing anything illegal. The Philippines is just trying to respond to its huge illegal immigrant population. Your friendly Philippine Nation Policeman wants to help you. The formation of the Foreign National Keeper Network (FNKN) to track and investigate the backgrounds of foreigners was really hatched in response to super typhoon Yolanda because Filipinos care deeply about the welfare and interests of foreigners. In fact, foreigners are really grateful for this new pogram.
Who are we kidding? The formation of this Gestapo-like organization is in response to a certain types of visitors and expats engaging in distasteful activities in Cebu. This has placed every foreigner arriving in Cebu under suspicion of belonging to that group until proven otherwise. Unfortunately, given the history of the PNP and BI many innocent foreign citizens have much to fear.

Interestingly, this initiative comes at a time when gay Filipino illegal immigrant, Jose Antonio Vargas, is becoming increasingly vocal in US media in his demands for amnesty. This now infamous illegal immigrant is publicly insisting that he is an "American" because his Filipino grandfather smuggled him into the USA when he was 12 yrs old using a fake US passport. Vargas is freely traveling the USA making a CNN documentary on being an illegal immigrant in an attempt to gain public sympathy and influence the US political process on illegal immigration while carrying a Philippine passport. Yet, he has not been detained and deported. [URL]http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/sunday-commentary/20110701-esther-cepeda-jose-antonio-vargas-lies-deserve-no-sympathy.ece[/URL].
Imagine a foreigner attempting to do the same in the Philippines. He would be immediately seized, incarcerated, relieved of all property and eventually deported and blacklisted. The Philippines certainly has the right to enforce its immigration laws but it should do so keeping in mind that over 300,000 of its citizens are living and working illegally in the United States alone with millions of others doing the same in various countries around the world.
First off I'd be wary just because of the FNKN acronym, rings in my ears as FucKiNg and that's what your going to get from the PNP.
Secondly I wonder how much it's going to cost us? I doubt they want to pay for the establishment, gathering of intel and maintenance of the "FucKiNg List" out of their own pockets. It's been my experience that for any interaction with the PNP there is a fee; it seems that you always have to pay = either to get them to do something or to make them go away and do nothing.
In addition, all expats have the option of registering themselves with their own respective embassies. Should I ever be approached by a FucKiNg party member or section chief, I would tell them: "Comrade Captain, I'm not allowed to join your "FuNKiN" group as I'm already a 'member' at my own embassy".

Get in with a "tribe," because Cebu is Tribal. It's not like the West. Very clique-ish. I met a Cebuana working in the USA a few weeks ago. I heard "Ba" over and over and realized group was speaking Cebuana a few tables away. She's going back soon and will be a great person for intros to her girl friends. That was a lucky find.
[QUOTE=StrokerAce88;1586239]FYI Jaguar has been closed for some time now.[/QUOTE]Yea, when I said is / was. Was not sure it was gone for good. So little is permanent in the PH. Kinda sad to hear no chance of it coming back.

As for Filipina Heart, it did indeed convert to a "Cupid" site-- they are the largest online dating website network on the Net. I've not read whether their converted website is still the most popular w / the ladies (ugh, I hate the word "ladies," but "girls" is no good and "women" . Actually I like better).
WL.
