    I'll agree with you on that Arthur; in fact, Graham has really struck gold meeting up with Mercedes, lucky chappie.

    Yeah, most of the province girls are very shy and also they are not used to having conversation with English people so they don't really know how to communicate with them. But they understand English okay. Just be patient with them. While the city girls can communicate with you pretty well, because they talk to foreigners often.

    Yulie i beg to differ, Okay maybe Mindanao is not so safe as other parts of the Philippines, but its not dangerous, I have been in central Mindanao (Bukidnon) since early last November without any problem whatsoever, My Fiancee lives up in the Mountains ie La Roxas, and i love it up there, much cooler .
    Jamie i would suggest you take a visit to Maramag, I can suggest a nice Hotel, and a few eating houses, hire yourself a Motorbike, and get yourself off up to the mountain villages its a different way of life up there.

    Funny you should mention Maramag as I was speaking to a Pinay off a dating site from there a few years ago - albeit for about five minutes. Hurry up and get the paperwork done so we can be together was the rallying cry so I hurried up and canceled my membership. Not what you want to hear at such an early stage.

    Thanks for the tip but if I were to go to mainland Mindanao I'd probably head in the direction of Bislig.

    Was reading earlier on another forum about this westerner who visited Ipil last year - the home town of his wife. He was advised by the family to report to the local Police Station which he did. Throughout his stay he was either escorted or followed by the police for his own safety. He was warned politely by locals to get out of Ipil too.

    I was meant to go in February then May and now November. 2018 has been slightly chaotic for me so far. Hopefully it'll calm down so I can enjoy the finer things of life.

    No need to worry Yulie, security guards in the Philippines are usually harmless.
