Subject: Re: Mexico is lively
I've also been all over the Philippines. Never a problem. However, as 1poorlady is a Filipina, she instinctively knows what not to do. So, I have to concede, that bit is invisible to me. She uses me to avoid "gratuities" because the official will ask her (in Tagalog), and she'll point at me. They don't want to ask me (a very white guy) in English. So we just go on our way. And we ranged from Banaue to Batangas to Coron to Pinatubo.
