SO A SIMPLE QUESTION.........WHY DO U RUN A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THE PHILIPPINES IF YOU HATE/DESPISE THE COUNTRY SO MUCH??

You cannot say all Filipinos are corrupt or theives..
that is like saying all musleims are terroriests or all black guys are rapists..

grow up.....

You are missing the whole point of this forum. Its about lively discussion, points of view and information.

You will find the majority of this site contains useful information about the Philippines, about Visas and about the UK.

Keith, myself, Pete and all other members of this forum have their own opinions about the Philippines, you may not agree with what they say, but thats the whole point of the forum is it not?

I have been to Philippines a few times, and I witnessed first hand the corruption, the ripping-off of tourists, the pathetic charges for this, that and everything else. I have also seen a Philippines that is full of wonderful people who will do anything to help you, where everything is cheap (&#33 and the weather is perfect.

Like Keith said, there is good and bad in every contry, the UK included. There is also good and bad in the Philippines, there are good and bad people in UK, and there are good and bad people in Philippines. Welcome to the real world!

I think I have heard of this tax charged to Filipinos arriving to the Philippines. My wife went through that. They told her it was income tax for earnings abroad. She would not pay because she had not yet earned any money, being a stay-at-home mom. They told her to say she only earned a little money, so they could charge her just a little, but she was adamant that she didn't earn any money. They eventually let her go without charging her.

They can charge Filipinos because they're citizens. They can't charge foreigners income tax.

I wonder what would happen if I refused to pay that p100 charge next time I went there.
