It definitely could be a scam, so don't always believe what you hear.

But I think if you do have proof that she is pregnant, and you don't want anything to do with it, I'd probably send enough for her to get an abortion, and a little extra for the trouble. Thats just my opinion.

Still, I wouldn't send anything without any proof.

i am a uk citizen so i have access to netteller. I play on all the sites (since i'm a tourney player i need to play where the big tourneys are). I have a netteller account but i can't access the website here. However i can move money around to the sites while i'm here. I dont withdraw using neteller since i have to pay a 1.8% exchange fee. I mostly do the direct to visa card/bank option from stars and tilt.

I have a lump in my bank so i dont really need to worry about immediate funds.

Im going to withdraw a chunk from party soon where i can do wire transfers.

I havn't got a filipino bank account yet, i've been lazy to open one, but i'm sure it will be no problem at all.

About opening a bank account there it shouldn't be any problem at all. My friend from Norway has done that, and he just gave them a hotel address and that was ok. I'm probably gonna do the same when I get back there again in a week or so. It's really nice to be able to withdraw with a wire directly to an account, the phil atm card comes in handy as well as it's nice being able to withdraw larger amounts of cash for cashgames at one time directly from an account.

When it comes too girls getting pregnant I believe it's a pretty common scam there, I have heard tons of such stories, not being accused myself as I'm playing it safe, but with many other foreigners I've been hanging out with over there. In most cases they have turned out to not be pregnant, and even if they are there are usually many candidates depending on what kinda girl it is... I have no clue about abortion as I've never had a similar problem, but seeing how many young mothers there are and Philippines being a catholic country it might be illigal/expensive.

FOr night life just go to global city the fort. I went to ascend on a friday and the club is bumpin also the girls are way hot. Make sure you leave your house around 12 am as the club goers come in around that time.

For nice apartelles I would look into serendra heights or one mckinley. Your 1k is good there I think.

Awesome to be back here, just landed today. Anyways, what do you think of the clubs and bars in the greenbelt, any good places there? Or is the area around the Embassy the only place to be?

I would say the fort is the place to be for clubbin but I didnt really get a chance to go to greenbelt area. Philippines is about the new fad/trend so I would check out embassy(trance?) and ascend(rnb top40). Also warehouse 135 I heard is good. If youre into kitty bar check out KHUYA in cubao but beware as I heard there are too many pick pockets in the area. Some b1tch even offered pussy for 6 bucks lol but Im not into that.

What do you eat? I've heard the food is pretty poor out there...

I prefer North American food myself, but as long as you are in a city area, that is available to you.

Cool, got a couple of places there to check out the coming weekend then, been to Embassy before but none of the others yet.

Jolibee of course

Just stay away from Pizza and steak there. I ordered a pizza from Dominos and Yellow Cab Pizza and they were both disgusting..

Don Enricco's is really good. Pizza Hut tastes just like in Canada or US. McDonalds tastes the same everywhere. Never tried Dominos or Yellow Cab.


My experience with steak was ok there.

A Jolibee is opening at the mall in Southern California.

Mmm, pork burgers w/ Ube.

in you want the reaaaaaaal philippines (at real philippine prices) check out guileys in timog, it gets real busy in there tho. I also like jai pur @ the fort.

Really, I think the pizza at Yellow Cab is pretty good, Pizza Hut is like mentioned before similar to in the US, don't know about Dominos though.

For steaks I really like the one at G-Point in Malate, it's a place with Swedish food and the plank steak there is really good in my opinion. I believe the same owner also has a restaurant in Barrio Baretto outside Olongapo up there in the Subic Bay. I also had a good steak at in Greenbelt once, but I forget the name of the restaurant. In general I'd have to agree that steaks in the Philippines are pretty poor though.

One thing I miss here is real good Mexican food, anyone ever found a good restaurant for that?

DNA tests are not that big here in the Phils, it's going to be more of a moral/ethical issue whether you take responsibility for the child (if it is yours) or just go invisible and treat it as nothing happened. (sorry to the single mom) Up to you LH.
