One time at Manila airport there was a enterprising guy showing you the way to the toilet cubicle and tearing you off some toilet paper from his own supply, all for a tip of course.

He was probably responsible for nicking the rolls in the first place.

Last year there was a lounge area upstairs with sandwiches and coffee, tv and games for i think about 750 pesos a person, kids were free. Nice view of the airport where we watched a wild electrical storm sweep across, just the thing to calm the nerves.August is not the best time to visit.

Still happens.....twice it happened to me...when they asked for a tip I just walked away :lol: :lol:

Seems they want a tip for a lot of things in Philippines....the worst was getting a taxi from domestic airport to Makati....as I got into the car, a hand appeared in front of me and a voice said "tip, tip, tip" I almost "by accident" shut the door on the 'hand' grrrr grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr luckily Elsa was there to calm things down

I wanted to go in the lounge and pay the 750...they gave us a voucher each..for P450.00 as a promo...but my wife would not pay it...so I ended up having to sit with her in the cheap seats..she says... "Ang Mahal di ba "

I rest my case
