Exuberant praise for the Pinay,

[sccrhound]

Too many Filipinas don't seem to have a defineable chin.

The ex was like that. Didn't know if it were the fillipina or irish.........

I spent just over 5 months in Manila once. I didn't like it and have never returned except for short visits.

The girls were 'different', not really my style.

As for culture, what culture? Their pseudo Spanish culture? Guys slapping each other on the back and saying 'companero' or 'ingeniero' and their folk dancing a bad copy of some flamenco, that's about it. As for food, it isn't even worth discussing.

Nope, never going back if I can help it.

Filipino dental work is weird and medieval.
Never seen anything like it anywhere else in the world.

9. Filipino girls are religious.
The Philippines is predominantly Roman Catholic (the only Christian nation in the Far East) and it is common amongst Philippine families to raise their children in the church.

Best reason to stay as far away from them as possible.

I know a few Philippinas. Some are overly religious, some aren't at all.

Been there many times lived there four a couple of years in the 80's my daughter was born there i will retire there in a couple of years.Definitely dont go there for the culture it's about girls & beer at the right price.Manila is a shit hole and yes filipino's are macho dicks who you wouldn't trust as far as you could throw them.
I like the place because theres no tourists and very few expats you can do your thing without getting harassed and i love san miguel.

It is there, hidden inside and may break out anytime.

and i love san miguel.

Agree, a nice beer, tasty and not too strong, suitable for the climate and if your main purpose is not to get pissed fast.

[Dreadlord]

How about Red Horse beer ? Is it any good ?

If I say it costs half as much and tastes like San Miguel diluted with 50% water would be too much praise. San Miguel diluted with 50% sparkling water would probably taste slightly better.

But maybe that is a slight exaggeration.

[Dreadlord]

^^ thanks...Just wanted to ask...going there (hopefully) in October to Cagayan De Oro...Need to know whats good to drink.

[Pol the Pot]

The only thing you can drink in the Phills is Tanduay.

San Mig is just an average international lager style beer, nothing really special.

[Attilla the Hen]

Oh yes! Tanduay rum at a dollar fifty a bottle. As good as bacardi.

When I was their 15 years ago you could get a bottle of gordons gin for 50c

Agree, but it is a good beer to drink if getting drunk is not your primary aim.

The only thing you can drink in the Phills is Tanduay.

It is nothing special too. Just a cheap way way to get drunk, if that is your aim.

Reminds me of my wedding reception in a hotel. I asked what drinks should be served. The hotel staff told me put two bottles of Coca Cola and a bottle of Tanduay on every table. That's the standard fare, the easiest and cheapest way to get them drunk.

Dug is a Donk.
Filipinas is not a shithole but one one the most beautiful places on earth. he should get out of the trashcan where he resides and tour the entire place as I have tried to do in the past five years. If the bussele and hustle of Manila or the cool life in Makati doesn't do it for you, try the Provinces. Women, no peers save Thailand for GF experiences.
Pinays will love you for a ring number one, money, number 2.

[Cujo]

^ I'm sure there are some spots that are exceptions to the rule (and I have seen a few) but as a (business) visitor, and not a resident I stand by my claim that generally speaking the PI is a shithole inhabited by monkeys.

[Davis Knowlton]

^If you are a business visitor, I couldn't agree more.

[chitown]

I have dates several PI girls and it was ALL bad. The ones I dated were controlling in every area of my life - where I went, what I spent, who I talked to, who I emailed, what I ate, what I drank, when I took a crap etc

No offense to you fellas that love the PI and its people, but I would probably become a priest or take up dating sheep if they were the only women left on the earth.

BTW, the accent of the PI girls I dated? Pushed me to the edge of suicide...not really, but you get the picture.

Girls and Beer about sums it up. Excluding manila, very easy going place. Availability of girls (not whores) is at least 10x what Thailand offers, maybe 100x. Beer is better also.
