    DO NOT YELL in the Philippines

    According to an expat or two, yelling at someone in the Phils can see you taking a trip down to the local police station and even being deported or jailed. Embarassing an individual in front of others can lead to serious repercussions. Men over 40 dating a woman under 25 is not acceptable in the city. Being alone in a room with a child that isn't a blood relative is a criminal offence.

    Never heard these rules before. Maybe they are true!

    Made up on the spot rules to extort instant fines from westerners



    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.

    Men over 40 dating young women under 25, I could truly make a living as a cop pulling in westerners breaking this rule in Dumaguete or Cebu, I don't really bother with the north of the PI but Visayas and sometimes Davao yes, I would be quids (or pesos) in if......IF......that was a real law
