Here in Dumaguete, they have all the hard liquor you want, as long as it is amber color, between 30 and 90 proof, and is called brandy or Rhum. beer of course is another matter, SMB is a world class beer, not the best mind you, but drinkable and only 14 Pesos a bottle 330ml. I don't care what anyone says Redhorse is not beer, it has to be some strange combination of synthetic ingredients, fire water I think they should call it.
