I have to tell you this.
When I got there, I went to a hotel.
I ask him how much it cost to stay the night? He told me 400 ph.
But around 2 am the F .....ker. call me up and ask for another 400 saying my time is up.

Then Olive family invited me to go to the beach with them on Saturday. I said ok thank you. Then when I turn up to go there, about 40-50 were there to meet me. I was told that I have to pay for everyone fare to the beach and I had to buy all their foods and drinks. I said to them, no way mate.

Then the next night I was invited by one of her brothers to join them for dinner, when I got there. He ask me to pay for the meal, no way mate, I am off. Then the next person was one of her sisters in law came around with a hard luck story..would I lend her 2000 ph. I said I did not carry money as I only had a visa card..This went on many times with her family and so called friends I ask Olive about this, and she said it is the custom of the phils to ripped off us white folk al over the land...
I told her if she don't protect me from these F ....ers I am off out of here. she got the message and began to tell them all to keep away from me..

I also told her that I have only come to see her and get to know her only..I don't really care or like the country, but I did find a Rose in the phils..This is Olive, she is totally different from the rest of them, she knows what they are like and she don't like it either...

. I also let it be known that I am not here to marry her family or her friends. you have to make this very clear to them at the very beginning...I am only here to Marry Olive no one else..the rest can go to hell for all I care..

Another time, we were tying to get a taxi and when one came over to us..he ask Olive for double fare because I am white, Olive bless her soul took very bad to this man and told him who do you think I am? this happen on a few occasion, they insulted Olive by making out because she is with me, then she is a hooker..Everywhere I want people stopped and stared at us. Some even tittered and pointed out to us..Basically these people have no respect for their own people let anyone a while person like me..

To be fair..I did meet one or two very nice decent folks...they did not ask me for anything at all..in fact they were very kind to me and treated me with great respect which I am accustom too..

At times I'm in a wheel chair . ,Cathy Pacific is the coupany to be flying with..They treat you like gold..

One more thing I need to let you all know..Don't ever let them take your visa card away from your sight. Twice they tried to do this me and I had to tell them, no way mate am I going to let that card our of my sight..
Hi louismc44,

I am a filipina and married to an english man. I live here in UK for more than two years. I went back to philippines last year with my daughter and my husband for a 20 days holiday, and our taxi fare had double the price and I told them "how did it happened that I have to pay double the amount?" they said because I came from abroad and my husband is foreigner and we got lots of money. I was really piss-off. I hated it. I had fight with the taxi drivers alot. They swear at me and I ignore them. I couldn't believe how stressful it was. All you have to do is try to be calm as much as possible and just ignore those people, which what I did. When I pay them the money and if they won't accept it because they want more, I ended up telling them that "take my payment or else I am leaving and not paying.
