Thanks Steve, yes it's clearer in my mind. I know what I need to do now.
You must be getting very excited now, only another 4 weeks to go

Sorry to hear all this after all the hassle you had getting out there and with your planned next trip. I think I'd follow the "plenty more fish in the sea" strategy.It just shows how stupid some people can be.
yes i am thanks , nervous too, but looking forward to emma being here and hopefully the start off our new life together,You must be getting very excited now, only another 4 weeks to go
Yes, this is the correct approach. It's not the first time I've been messed around, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last if I let it continue.Originally Posted by Dedworth
I have recently talked to people who reported wages in the provinces, for example Bohol, Panglao island at 2500 PHP a month.To be honest, I don't really understand most of her reasons and her wages as well.
How come she will only earns 3500/month if she is working 14 hrs X 6 days/week.

Why her life became boring if she's inlove?
Why she has family that can't understand?
Did you meet her family before?
She's still lucky as you still understand her.
I don't understand really.
Salaries in the Philippines do not follow the national minimum wage across the whole country, even in Manila plenty of people are paid less than the official minimum.
Jim
I believe people from provinces you have mentioned don't receive official salary as there are many employers there who doesn't follow the law. That's why they are moving to Calabarzon and Metro Manila. But then if you are working in a factory as per piece work in Calabarzon area or Metro Manila, you may receive below basic pay. Englishman didn't state what factory her GF is working that's why I said I don't really understand.
If they want to receive the official wages, they can apply in reputable companies in Calabarzon areas. I can assure they can receive the official salary. You are welcome to make surveys in our city which is part of Calabarzon.

To add, nanny and maid's minimum wage is P3,000 with one day off a week. If she wants to apply for an SSS, you pay for the employer's share and you can deduct the employee's share from her salary.
That is okay Englishman, it is good that you know all the truth than knowing all of these later on. I would consider that you are lucky and have done things wisely and really admired your effort on sorting things out of letting her come to you. But then again, you were lucky enough to find out the things you need to know than be sorry in the end. I wish you all the luck and hope you will enjoy your trip.
Thanks, I have given it a lot of thought over the last week or so, and although I wont go into any detail publicly, the warning signs have always been there, I was probably just too blind to see them. There have been so many things that I've been told that don't add up, contradictions to things I have previously been told, and a general lack of respect shown to me when I have bent over backwards and gone out of my way to help. I am confident that If I had let it continue I would have got badly burned. Oh well, it's not the end of the world, and ultimately it's not my loss. I don't want to sound conceited, but I don't need a better lifestyle, I already have everything I need, plus a lot more and live very comfortably in a first world country. I don't need to escape from poverty or lie and cheat other people to survive. My conscience is completely clear, I couldn't have tried any harder to make it work. As they say, there are plenty more fish in the sea
that's the spirit Englishman!
Well you have posted quite regularly with your concerns & I think most here, haven't identified, with some of your worries, so there was definately something wrong.
I'm sorry, these things are never easy & when you think you are getting somewhere & then everything seems to crumble slowly, in your case, it's horrible.
As you say, better to find out now...You seem to have come out of it very positively.

We'll see. I'm not actively looking for a relationship at the moment, but if any single Filipina's want to contact me, feel freeA few single women on the board live there
Well, whatever happens, my friend ... I'm pleased to see you're looking towards the future with renewed confidence now that the way ahead seems a bit clearer!We'll see. I'm not actively looking for a relationship at the moment, but if any single Filipina's want to contact me, feel free
Hi Englishman2010
The fact that you are still going on the 2 holidays means as Arthur said you are looking forward
Enjoy.
Mick.
Yes Jim,there are those here lucky enough to earn as much as 2,500 pesos per month in Bohol and many others that would be very happy to be lucky enough to work for less than minimum wage.
Minimum wage may apply in many of Manila`s establishments but the big boys like SM,national book store for example will only give short 6 months contracts after which the empolyee will be sacked..
This is how they will manage to avoid paying benefits such as SSS for example.
Quite normal practice here.
Thank you for everyone's kind words of support and encouragement. Breaking up with someone you love is never an easy thing, and I still have moments where I wonder if I should have tried a bit harder been more patient and forgiving, but then come back to reality and know that it was only ever 1 way. I gave everything and she just took itI don't need to be in a relationship where my g/f continually lies, avoids me, messes me around, uses me as an ATM and gives nothing back in return.
As they say, the best way to get over a woman is to find another one
I've stuck an advert on one of the dating sites, so I'm sure by the morning I'll have 10000 messages declaring undying love for me, and BTW, please can you send me 5K pesos because my next door neighbours aunties cousin twice removed has just been eaten by a lion and we need the money to pay for the operation to sew his head back on
