hi alan
yes ive visited the philippines 6 times now over the last three yrs going to see the same girl she is indeed filipino aged 37 previously living in pasig manilla but now in a city called olongapo shes a great girl and i think the end of the road in my searce for future happiness
i love alot about the philippines
me and lea have been engaged since new years eve 2009/10 i propossed during a firework display on the beach
its not all been plain sailing the distance and cultural diff is not easy but we get on great
im hoping that a visa application will be excepted as shes in manilla now ready to visit the embassy mon or tues next week she was turned down last year due to her husband giving her a false document ref her annulment which took a while to work out
i wish i found this site a couple of yrs ago as some of the stuff ive read took me ages to work out let alone verify lol
thanks for the welcome its always a bit un nerving joining sites like this
best wishes mark
