Yes..You need a lot of money..Its a requirement.does it mean that i have to prove that i have lots of money,
only by his wife to be
Dont forget the 5000 extended familyonly by his wife to be
Right! I usually stay away from threads that 'court controversy.'
HOWEVER - I really cannot believe that nobody has simply said:-
Tony - you cannot go to the Philippines with £100 or even £300 under the circumstances that you describe! Forget it!
I am sorry to be so blunt!
Al.
P.S. Please PM me if you want to know what you will REALLY be expected to have - both financially and personally!
Pressed rat and warthog closed down their shop!

Ithink what fred says here mite be blunter to the point...... LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER......Im pretty sure that most of the R.P is malaria free although I have heard that precautions should be taken if going to Palawan..Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent dengue fever except for avoiding certain day time mosquitoes that may carry the infection plus wearing OFF lotion and those that contain DEET.
I have managed to avoid Typhoid fever by drinking purified and mineral water..Never drink tap water especially in large cities that have corroded supply pipes and dodgy restaurants!
Ive seen a Brit here dying from Hepatitis and its something I never want to catch..Anywhere!!
By the way Doc Alan..Theres an expat here that has been told that he has gangrene of the intestine!! Is that possible? This guy is broke and some of the guys in the bar are having a whip round..Hes in such bad shape that they cant even transfer him to Cebu..
They are dropping like flies here!! Hope Im not next.
Tony.. You are coming here as a lamb might present himself to the slaughter and you have been warned..
Forget 100 Pounds spending money..
A 59 day visa will cost around half that and thats what you will need if you go over your free 21 days!!
Please do not rely on the girls family to give you anything..They probably will do what they can as Filipino`s can have a VERY generous nature..but it depends.
I have no idea about their financial position but if they are just ordinary working class/poor then I doubt that you will be able to eat anything served to you..Forget roast chicken and Yorkshire pudding for starters and think more along the lines of dried fish , pigs eye balls and the private parts of a dead cow.
Come here and be self sufficient and leave owing no one anything..
Please get GOOD travel insurance..There`s no NHS here and if you get sick you are ON YOUR OWN and that would be very very bad.
There!! Now my conscience is clear!!
They know he is strapped granted it may be a marriage scam but that doesnt affect the money story might not be for you or me but thats not the same as going blind with other expectations on him even if he marries shes not gonna get a spouse visa any time soon If Tony is reporting accuratly its a supported tripmy heads spinning after reading all that, well ive just checked how much cash ill have, should be £200/£300, her brother and wife will help me if im short of chash, as she offered to pay for my flight at the end of last year but i would feel guilty so i said its ok ill pay, im in this mess with money because last year i was made redundant and didnt find a new job until october, costs about £40 per week petrol so has been next to impossible to save money because my wage is minimum wage, this year i hope to find a better job thats closer to home, installing car audio ect,
then to manila, and from there one of the family will pick us up in the car

It may seem like a stupid question to you as you've lived over there, but Tony's knowledge of the Phils (and how much spending money he'll need) has obviously come from a bad source. No need to keep taking theIve made a few mistakes but im not that stupid to broadcast them om here like some people.And any way if somebody comes on here asking a stupid question like he did i think they deserve a stupid anwser and a bit of a p
Bornatbirth is the joker of the forum,well i wouldnt want to go for a nite out with him or her..... sooner stay in and watch newsnight on the box

Tony's knowledge of the Phils (and how much spending money he'll need) has obviously come from a bad source. No need to keep taking the... and how often must I keep repeating myself? Kindly refrain from pointless comments, Jules aka 'junior02'!
Hya Tony, been here 3 months now.Beautiful Place and People...1st. on your list should be throat lozengers (Permanent sore throat in Manila) next...Sun Block (rare as rocking horse effluent over here). £100 a week minimum to live on...and as someone has pointed out..keep away from Rallies and keep your mouth closed on Political points of view, and also any Religious views, keep them to yourself...most people here ask God for everything, rather than doing the things themselves, and they also vote for the candidate who gives them the most peso's when he comes calling..But....its a beautiful place and the people on the whole are smashing....(but keep a tight rein on your personal effects, they might easily go missing...blooming YaYa) Enjoys yourself...will be difficult though on £100....
and I doubt many on here would go out with youwell i wouldnt want to go for a nite out with him or her..... sooner stay in and watch newsnight on the boxwould probably get you
maybe thats a bit of good advice for yourself to stay in and watch the news
just give the guy a break
Good reply.
Like said above, try not to get too carried away and don't get pressured into anything that you are not sure of, especially marriage and once you start along that route, the longer you go along it, the harder it is to back out if you realise that it isn't what you want or it doesn't feel right. If all goes well, maybe make a commitment to each other and then do all you can to save up for going to see her again when you could propose. if she really does love you, then she'll wait for you.
When it ended with Suzie who I was in contact with and she accepted the Danish 'stranger' she said that she had met the love of her life after knowing him for a few days and that they were getting engaged shortly! This was only a couple of weeks after her thanking me for everything I did for her & her family and that she wished she could do something for me in some way! I don't think that meeting the Danish guy and dropping me like a hot stone, was the nicest way to show how much she thought of that! Maybe it she had met me, she would have expected me to propose at the first meeting too, I don't know? It's easy for someone to behave their best & do all they can to make you fall in love with you over just a few days, but it's only time together (in person and phone/Internet etc) during good times and bad, that you really get to know what they are like.
Getting married so quick could also possibly make it harder for her to get a Visa as they will more likely to be a bit more suspiscious of getting married on the first meeting.
Your right they prob wouldnt go out with meand I doubt many on here would go out with you
maybe thats a bit of good advice for yourself to stay in and watch the news
just give the guy a break.....cuz by The sounds of it im not to popular on here....dont no why\\\
Any body wanting to go to phils to meet a lady TAKE LOTS OF CASH.
And most importantly a filipina lady wants a REAL MAN NOT A WET WEEKEND BE WARNED.
You have to understand that we at the forum do appreciate a laugh and a joke, some banter, innuendoes, sarcasm and whathaveyou....Your right they prob wouldnt go out with me
Any body wanting to go to phils to meet a lady TAKE LOTS OF CASH.
And most importantly a filipina lady wants a REAL MAN NOT A WET WEEKEND BE WARNED.
What irritates is the constant sniping, and what is perceived as personal attacks....
Taking the mickey near enough all the time puts people off the mickey taker.
By his admission, Tony, will be going abroad for the first time in his life, and blissfully unaware of what life can be like in Phil, or anywhere else, for that matter.
And at time I fear, he is also unaware of what is going on here in his own country.
The good thing, is that he came to us, to announce proudly that he found someone, and will be flying to meet this person. And also ask for some advice.
The consensus amonsgt the phorumers would be for him to abandon the idea of departing with only a small amount of money in his pockets, although he was also suggested and hinted to, to give up on the idea altogether, for now, and save up for a decent trip at a later date.
So, junior, if you have some constructive suggestions, please do go ahead and try to help, or do not join in. He may not heed to any of the advice given, as ultimately, the decision rests with him.
But at least we can say honestly to ourselves, that we tried to lead this particular horse to water....
Most of us on the forum ... especially the regulars ... enjoy harmless fun and friendly banter - but NOT when it's at the expense of othersNO HARM INTENDED TO THE SENSITVE TYPES OR THE ONES ON HERE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOUR and i thought being in this forum is ment to be a bit of a laugh from time to time......Im going to say 1 more thing regard the 1st thread.
Any body wanting to go to phils to meet a lady TAKE LOTS OF CASH.
And most importantly a filipina lady wants a REAL MAN NOT A WET WEEKEND BE WARNED.who might, for whatever reason(s) be unable to "defend" themselves in response.
So please bear this in mind ... and THINK carefully before being tempted to post anything offensive or insensitive.
100 pounds to spend for a month?...that's a big NO..NO...especially if you're going to marry here....is that a joke?...that's only enough for my 1 week grocery...
hi junior, no worries, my sense of humor is silly most of the time, abit like my dessisions and spelling
anyway, there be none of this going on,
i realy like everyones comments, is helping me to make better dessision,
to the one that asked earlier, the village is called brgy gomez or sta rosa,
sorry for the short reply, im so tired after my work, so ill sleep soon, over this weekend ill read all the posts again and write things down
Only a stones throw from where iwill be Tony, iwill keep my eyes open for you, if you still decide to go, ok
You have to pay tax at the airport when you leave - 750 pesos, so make sure you have this on you.
Hi tony Im glad you got a good sense of humour and seen the light side of what i wrote and you didnt take anything the wrong way.Im glad ive got 1 friend on here now cuz i dont think anybody else on here like my sense of humuor and things i wrote about on this thread. I like to tell the truth and give a bit of advice with a bit of humour. At the end of the day thers a saying, if you were ment go your go and if your not ment to go you wont. But anyway if you go be carefull. You seem like a nice guy so dont let anybody ther take advantage of your good nature. Just remember when your out ther to be firm but nice and remember YOUR THE BOSS. Anyway have a great time and keep us informed on here on how its going and your welcome down my neck of the woods for a drink and a chat anytime and if your out ther another time when im ther your welcome to my place ther, but its right down south from wher your be but only 1hour flight from manila. Just another bit of advice, it would be good idea if you could get a member of your family or friend here in uk to be prepard to send you some money out via western union for emegancies if you run out of cash, n pay them back when you get home,it only takes a second to recieve the cash once sent from uk. Also theres a british consulate in angeles city if you wont to change your cert of no impediment to a local 1 if you end up getting married, it will save you going all the way back to manila to brit embassy. takecare mate. Igot day off today so off to pub for few pints of zomerzet ziderhi junior
