    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Ipil was in the mid 1990s when I was there, the town had just been attacked by Abu Sayyaf

    What's your take on Pinays from Mindanao? Not the city ones. I know what they're like.

    The City girl is already familiar to foreigners not like the Mindanao girl who is not really familiar to foreigners. And I believe the attitude of province girl is more likely calm and they Understand more the hard work on the countrysides. That means the province girl will be innocent on the life on the city. But the city girl can't live in the province, she will be bored or she won't even know how to cook outdoors.

    I can relate to that. Took my then Pinay girlfriend who is from the city, to Sugar Beach in Sipalay in Negros Occ. and she was whining because it was too quiet. To be fair it really was. Saw more dogs than humans.

    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.

    I bet it is more safe in Bukidnon than where I am from, hehe.

    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.
