Nice.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but drawing using BPI ATM has lesser Cirrus fee - well, 2 $ instead of 5 $ per transaction

Of course, it is still expensive considering the 200 peso per transaction fee for ATM and the lower exchange rates- but for emergency - works fine.

Posb dbs withdrawals from BPI is 2$ per transaction, plus the 200 peso. Works for emergency...

Check posb website.

PS, I found the information:

There is a service charge of S$5 per cash withdrawal on overseas Plus/Cirrus ATMs. You will enjoy a preferential flat service charge of S$2 if you use your Cirrus Card at the ATMs of Bank of Central Asia (BCA, Indonesia) and Bank of Philippines Island (Philippines) or Plus/Cirrus Card at the ATMs of HDFC (India). Cash withdrawal will be free of charge if you use your Plus/Cirrus Card at DBS Hong Kong, DBS Taiwan and $$$$$$$ Group ATMs in Australia ($$$$$$$, St. George Bank, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA) or Plus Card at DBS India and DBS Indonesia ATMs. Cash withdrawal will be free of charge if you use your UnionPay Card at DBS Hong Kong and $$$$$$$ Group ATMs in Australia ($$$$$$$, St. George Bank, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA).

In fact, he should be killing corrupt cops .. .not civilians

Hard to say with this guy as he is a wildcard. Thats why the media calls him "Duerte Harry".

I do agree for most law abiding civilians we have really nothing to fear.
If he only goes after the corrupt cops and politicians then again we have nothing to fear as civilians.
The potential problem lies in what he plans to do with AC as this whole place is an eyesore of corruption and for most Filipinos and maybe to Dirty Harry its something he may want to "clean up". He is pro bar and women, but only to local own Filipinos, hard to say what he may do with foreign own bars. And almost all girl bars in AC are foreign owned.
Only time will tell what will happen

just a short summary for this trip.

5th morning sitting at the hotel lobby typing this.
number of girls : 7. somewhere in there isna 100kg girl who just likes to fuck. another 30plus kg girl. so i have done both side of the spectrum.
all st as i like to sleep alone.
number of pops: cant remember. theres a 0.5 somewhere in there. a 3some that i had a cim and couldnt finish the 2nd girl in intercourse.
number of lb :1. got fucking scammed thinkingbits a girl. but once i see it in person, bam!!! ayumi in dia. avoid.
number of barfines : 0
number of massage : 1. offered me a hj but was bad at it so i told her to forget it.
number of trikes : 0. walked everywhere.

hotel getting a bit rundown. maybe time to move to a new better one.

[soundguy]

which hotel ratina? i moved from Grace Crown to Devera...marked difference. GC used to be good but the free breakfast started to shrink (menu-wise). Then the front desk has an attitude. So i m taking my money elsewhere. Devera's pretty efficient, albeit smaller rooms. No complains.

If you think AC is an eyesore of corruption, you haven't seen enough of Manila

Manila is definitely in Duterte's eyes, to reform, and move the businesses out to decongest. He has stated his plan to not go for the SMC Airport in Manila, and focus on Clark.

I don't think he is gonna bother about bars, as I know a few Singaporeans who are running bars in Davao, and they have no issues.

imperial. a few years ago i moved from devera to imperial. nicer then. but looks like the housekeeping has not been doing a good job. the toilet smells bad and the rain shower head was cranky. and that is after i changed from a room where the flush in the wc was broken. Devera is nice but no too sure if its value for money. do they still charge for airport transfer?

singaporeans running bars in Davao? thats interesting. more info pls, as i would love to give them some of my hard earned money. and change a scene from AC. getting just a little bit jaded here.

Honestly, I haven't been to Davao. Just I know the guys who run bars there. And none complained of harassment or anything from the city cops or anybody

I am not sure about the girl scene there

Likewise a friend who passed away was a partner in Tagum City.

Lotsa nostalgia associated with the Philippines.

God (if there is one) made the Filipinas.

What would the world be without them?
