Hi, and welcome to the forum.
My twopenneth...which may or may not be welcomed.
(I was married to a Filipina, and brought her and her 2 kids here. Been back and forwards to Phils for more than 20 years).
Anyway...7 days is too short a trip...waste of money. You'll be jetlagged for half of it, and not able to fully enjoy (hopefully) the experience, or have a properly functioning mind.
July is probably the worst month to go for weather...likely to be chucking it down, and everything muddy dirty and smelly (even more than normal).
The lady COULD be a scammer. Tread very carefully and don't let the hormones triumph over good sense.
If she has a husband and children you are embarking on a very stressful and expensive journey.
There are thousand upon thousand of SINGLE AND CHILDLESS young ladies in the Phils who are likely to genuinely think that you are the best thing since sliced bread, and to whom you'll definately be attracted in a big way.
Height difference...no problem. My friend is 6'4" and his wife less than 5ft.
My ex is 4'10", and me 6'1".
If it were me I'd wait til October (or even better Xmas and New Year), take the 21 days visa-free or longer if possible. If the lady gets too impatient then something is not right.
If she's happy about going alone to a hotel with you 'straight off the plane', then I'd be asking whether this was a regular occurrence with her.
A lot of ladies on these dating sites are accustomed to dating both romantic suitors and 'sex tourists' in this way.
It's a tough world out there, but better to be told about the REAL one.
Best of luck, but use a lot of common sense. Their culture isn't THAT different to ours, but in general they have a lot less money than us and tend to daydream even more.
