I rarely read the Philippines thread because everything is based on Manila, Makati, BCG, malls, condos, the same old boring blah that is only of interest to sexpats and temporary visitors with no intention of living there long term. There's more to the country than Manila and Cebu. Manila is not a real representation of the country. You have Baguio, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Olongapo, Dumaguete, Zamboanga, Batangas, etc etc.
What are the girls like in those places? Are foreigners viewed the same way as in Manila? I don't know, no one talks about it because everyone's too busy talking about Makati and the clubs and the malls.
That's where stuff like this happens: http://philippineslifestyle.com/silay-am...sing-beer/
Moving away from the big cities as a foreigner of another race that is at least suspected to be lot wealthier than locals is likely to lead to a lot of resentment unless you dress poor, live low key and don't go to places where trouble is easy to find you (bars, brothels etc.).
It's like a Filipino from Manila moving to the Apalachians because he heard white girls there are poor, easier and less demanding than big city US girls that he can't afford to entertain.
Would most guys here feel comfortable around hicks like that? Now imagine that in the Philippines...
