You have hit the nail on the head Madmitch.
Foreigners can and do come unstuck here.Most never think it could happen to them.I have visited foreigners in the Immigration Detention Centre in Camp Bagong Diwa,Bicutan. Every one there has their story,many should not be there and have found themselves in similar situations as Kevin Taylor and Albert Weinert.Making good contacts and friends here are important ground rules.Paradise is also real life
