Dropbear 0 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Is this place full of scammers, somehow a girl claiming to be a masseuse got my number claiming I had booked a massage etc, and that her family was either, sick dying or had passed away and needed money for further education, I was warned but never knew it would happen this fast!

There are a hell of a lot of good people here in the RP but as a foreigner the bad element tends to approach us. I have noticed that expats have more run ins with the badder side of the phils then the phils am guys. It's like that sometimes. The scum can somehow smell the newbies... even some of us that have been here for awhile have a little chuckle when the same tactics are applied. Until you have a steady woman, have two phones... one for contacts that are good people and one for everyone else.... I used to call it a phone for ho's and a phone for Bro's but it was more like my personal number that I give to people I know ( mainly other expats) and a number for everyone else that I can discard when i start getting to many " have you had your breakfast" or " lets eat " texts Link to post Share on other sites
tim 6,080 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hey, there is a little bar - with a lot of Australians in the Mango area called El Gecko. Easy to find.. they open from 12 noon to 12 am Sat thru Friday (might be open Sunday, just not sure) they have plenty of football and other sports, pool table cold beer and good people to hang out with. food pretty good too... Take a day off and run into Cebu City and visit. and have fun... Link to post Share on other sites
