Currently have a dell 3007, but he needs a twin or something similar.

There's a Herman Miller branch in Serendra BGC. It's the top of High St across from MarketMarket on the 2nd floor.

For screen I would look at dynaquestpc, PCHub, PCExpress or any computer shop at Gilmore Ave, Quezon City.

I got good experiences with shipping from some of these, but for 30+ inch screen I would rather check online, ask if they got stock in nearby branch and visit one of these shops to check for dead pixels etc.

Yes, just send a Philippines lease / utility bill to poker sites to verify the address. Only iPoker is banned.

PartyPoker is also banned for Philippines registered accounts. I just got off the phone with support today and withdrew my remaining balance.

Since I'm staying less than the 59 days for the ACR, can I make a bank account? If not, is p2p my only option to get funds immediately into pokerstars?

They almost always want an ACR card but it's the Philippines you never know, some say they opened an account without it.

Neteller, Entropay... select country here https://www.pokerstars.com/poker/real-money/

If you can't deposit onto those with US card you could go to Thailand, I see you posted in the Thai thread, get a bank account there where it's easier, register Thai address on stars, deposit onto Neteller/Entropay with thai bank card (can't deposit directly with it), then onto Stars. Then just use that account when in the Philippines. Or you could play at a WPN skin with bitcoin

Big hassle but it's doable. Nowadays everyone is playing in Chinese poker clubs on the Pokermaster app, I'd be doing that instead

I try to leave as late as possible. Going to THE casino at 5 pm is out of THE question. After Midnight THE traffic is lighter and games usually better as well

Can you guys recommend some places with fiber internet that I can get speeds at 10 mps or higher in Manila?

I have been moving around on Air NB trying to get a stable connection but it's been very unreliable so far. Maybe because I'm playing on an Emulator I need higher speeds than normal.

I guess I could do a 3 or 6 month lease but would prefer to go monthly.

Locations: near MOA, Makati, the Fort, or maybe near SM North.

Thanks!

Emulator? Do you mean like a virtual machine or virtual PC? If that the case, the broadband speed won't help you; you would need to increase your host machine RAM in order to see an improvement.
