    Hi,

    Nice to meet you all.

    I’ve never been to the Philippines but I have a very good reason to visit such a beautiful looking country.

    I’ve arrived here by chance, and would be grateful for some advice.

    Thanks,
    T

    Welcome
    You say you have very good reason to visit the Philippines, from your other thread it appears the good reason maybe to chase the girl who might be carrying your child!
    Yes go to visit the Philippines but look elsewhere, where the baggage of a relationship won’t ruin the experience.

    Let's hope the potential mother of this gentleman's child isn't already married in the Phils...the only country (apart from the Vatican City :rolleyes:) with no divorce....and where Adultery (for the ladies) and 'Concubinage', (for the gents), is alive and well...and can land a lovelorn poriner in jail. :oops:

    I do wonder what you mean exactly, when you say such a beautiful looking country but does that also include the women there, it is kind of difficult not to notice them?

    There is so many readily accessible women there, many of them either have children no job and they all live a meagre existence on a diet of 95% rice living with her parents, or perhaps no children but in a dead end job earning not much more than £30 a week and desperate to get out of that situation? So a Foreigner can go there and have a choice of women in just about any age group they desire from 18 upwards and that even applies to a 70yr old Foreigner, this is not just a chance thing, I have seen this with my own eyes many times. Btw this mostly ends Failing as did my own relationship there with a Woman 30yrs my junior. Another thing; in just about all the above cases these women have been through a very poor education system which is no better than that of what a 10yr old has in the western world. The chances of meeting a woman there with a good education are very slim as likely they have carved out a good life for themselves without the need of a Foreigners money.

    Meeting a Foreigner is like winning the Lottery for them, in fact that was once said to a GF on mine there, when we first met and she was showing me off to her friends that was their words; You have hit the Jackpot and I am an Ugly Auld Fat Bar Steward.

    As it stands at the moment the minimum wage there is p360=£5 a day, this is soon to be raised to p460=£6.50, mostly the Family's with this low income to live from, eat dried fish and rice, this rice may be as much as 90 to 95% of their diet, believe this or not but food in PH is more expensive that it is in UK and that includes rice, of course in season there is many exotic fruits to be had very cheaply, but out of season they are really expensive.

    Anyway I lived there for 8yrs from 62 to 70yrs of age and had a great time there, spent all my money on wine women and song, actually it got to the point where my Bank Account had little left of any contingency fund, I was having some health problems and fearing to get a large bill for medical services there I opted to return back to UK and lick my wounds.
