Foreign tourism arrivals achieves back-to-back record growth

There have been Cinderella realities where the Mistress "maid" got the rich guy hook line and sinker!!
Rose Portius for example who ended up marrying one of the richest men in the world!!
Her daughter in law,Gina Rinehart is todays,worlds richest woman.

A very accurate summation!

According to an American charity worker I know, most of the bar girls in Angeles and Manila all come from one province, Samar, which is the poorest part of a poor country and many are recruited by pimps who then "sell" them to the bars.

But not all pimps are Filipino.

There's a certain Caucasian forum owner whose site may be known to (some of) you who, I am very reliably informed, quite regularly toured the province (Cebu) recruiting young girls to work in the Mango Avenue bars. He himself had a penchant for underage provincial girls and has documented history of violence against women both in the Philippines and his home country. Although he still owns and runs that forum, he does so from the comparative safety of a Cambodian city which has the reputation of being the last refuge for the sexpat. About to be arrested for the vicious assault on an expat's fiancée, he fled the Philippines taking with him the proceeds of a "payday loan" scheme he ran from his site and which amounted to many tens of thousands of Pesos.

My wife calls them "Girls Renting Overnight"
When I was travelling before marriage, this was the impression I had when I went for a few beers and observed the goings on in a Dumaguete bar/disco.

How does that guy make his living?

Good one; I will steal that!

From what used to be called Immoral Earnings?

Anyone remember this from November 2011 :-

I protest
:vhappy: :vhappy:

Well for a start he owns a large number of static-content web sites all of which are definitely revenue-earning, mostly from paid advertising (and not simply the Google-type ads) and from sales of a (rather basic) course in Cebuano. He definitely owns two forum sites, one of which is aimed at a part of the Philippines and the other for another country in the region. It's believed he also owns a third forum site - but one he doesn't actually run - which deals with the seamier side of life in the Philippines. All his forum sites are, to one extent or another, geared towards sexpats. If you own a business here, neither you nor anyone else can even mention that business until the Forum owner is paid quite a substantial "advertising" fee.

From an American who has looked into his business dealings, I've learned that he used young women working online to extract money from gullible foreigners and since he left almost all his extensive collection of routers (including a load-balancing router attached to 2 different internet connections), around 3 or 4 desktop computers and other computer stuff in his very, very cheap rented house, he may still be engaged in that "business".

Quite a lucrative business was process-serving. Americans who had married Filipinas in haste, returned to the US and had second thoughts - or, more likely, met other Filipinas - have the ability to get divorced in the US even if their spouses weren't, or ever had been, in the US. However the divorce wasn't finalised until a copy of the decree was served on the Filipina spouse and her signature on a receipt returned to the issuing court. Being a misogynist who considered women to be less than second-class citizens, this was something he really enjoyed doing and for which he was very well paid.

I'm ashamed to admit that for three years I worked as a moderator for one of his forums and, over time, became increasingly uneasy as I discovered more and more about him. It was his beating-up of an expat's fiancee that was the final straw for me, never more so than when he claimed that it was the expat who beat-up the woman he married a week or so later.

Cebu is well-rid of that individual and although he can not return to the Philippines - there are warrants for his arrest and he's on the BI watch list - it's probably best for him that he doesn't attempt to. There's a sizeable group of both Filipinos and Expats who have a rather special reception planned.

OK thanks.. I thought that he must have had some type of income from the U.S as he obviously lived here for a number of years..I honestly didnt think that he was capable of being self sufficient here..Perhaps I was wrong.
I did meet him once briefly in Cebu just before his first Filipino wife left him..
He came across as a complete and utter nut case to me..
Ive met a few of them in my time so I should know!!
Cheers,
Januarius.
