You have to finalize your divorce/ annulment first, then you can start a new marriage. Annulment in the Philippines can be very expensive as the lawyers see it as an opportunity to rip you off. Make sure you are willing and able to pay a lot of ... Read More

Being taken by C** P** Airlines by Gary Wilson

:mad: I must admit some blame for not haulting the transaction before the blatant robbery, but even that would be questionable. In planning a trip to Bangkok a friend reminded me that my appointment at the US EMBASSY was scheduled for December not ...

I think you'll find a lot of roadblocks if you try to go ahead with your venture. There will be a lot of people who will view you as trying to steal one of the most important jobs in Dumaguette. You won't make any friends I'm sure. Read More

When looking for a filipina lady to marry, do yourself a favor and find one that has not been previously married. If you try to get an annulment the lawyers will take you to the cleaners. Good luck with your retirement! Read More
