    Manila Immigration..................why?

    I met a Norwegian guy earlier,and his Filipina whatever???She is in her early 20's and flew here yesterday,immigration actually wouldn't let her fly earlier in the week,despite cash,despite a valid up to date passport,despite a valid airline ticket,they said she didn't have a letter of invitation (flying to Thailand to meet a non thai national) she gets a visa upon entry into Thailand so why do PI immigration officials get such a hard on when a pinoy tries to fly for a legit vacation,is it power trip time?She told me the NAIA guys were also giving another traveller a hard time,she flew PAL by the way and as usual the flight was late,glad some things are consistant



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    That's odd,coals to Newcastle considering the guy has brought her to pattaya,what about the other passanger who also got hassle,a guy in his 20's?

    I had the same experience eight years ago. I was refused by immigration with the same reason. What made me think was, when I got an invitation letter after around a week, the officer didnt even bother to have a look into it.

    Prison-block Philippines.

    Then again, a lot of young Filipinas ARE used as holiday playthings, by sex tourists.

    I had a really bad time with them on the first ever holiday to Hong Kong from Manila.They would not let her go and kept us hostage for over an hour.I ended up threatening them which actually worked.First of all they wouldn't let her travel then they wanted money to let her go.I was so angry I was shouting at them.In the end they did let us go and we JUST made the flight.It was actually one of the most stressful time in my life so far.
