    Not really a scam, but if you book a tour where a driver takes you around to different tourist sites, double check if your tour rate includes entry to those places you're visiting or if you need to pay for it yourself.

    Good tips Jaycation. I liked getting the fake jerseys and shirts. And good advice on not getting fake shoes since that could actually hurt your feet.. Also, I never thought about the drinks and how it could get spiked. Very valuable information all around. Although if the food looked good and the vendor may not be licensed. I might just take a chance. Lol. But I can say that you at least warned us😁Glad you have safe travels in 🇵🇭

      Thanks bro! I bought Jordan 11s there as a kid once and they hurt my feet so bad! I also got a louis vuitton suitcase that broke right as i got home haha lessons learned. I hope you get to visit the philippines someday my friend. Cant wait to finally release the Hawaii Series next month! I got carried away with the Philippines and wanted to finish that first before i got back to Hawaii. Lol talk soon!

    Scan 12 - From my experience, never give money to beggars, no matter who they are. Most of the time beggars work for crimanal operations, the poor never get to keep it. It is OK to buy them food if they say their hungry though. One time on the last night there I used the last of my pesos to buy a women with a little boy a meal. Am sure they won't take that burger 🍔 back to the crooks they deal with.

    I didn't know this until a few years back but using and saying the word "gyp" is a racial derogatory slur.
    Took me a while to remove it from my vocabulary like other words but I did.
    Is that being PC? Yes. Does that mean society is getting soft. No. It just means we're all being more aware or aka woke. And id rather be woke then asleep.
    I'm sure you didn't know, like i didn't know and I'm sure you don't want to offend anyone.

    Are there men that really spend money on women. Why would a man do this. No woman is worth this. Am I missing something. I don't get why a man would spend money on a woman, just not worth it.

  • @boraborabob1
    @boraborabob1 10 дней назад +1

    Money money money, money money money.
    Almost all these blogs end up discussing money. Her, family, friends, allowance, etc.
    When you get married and settle down half is hers. So why discuss it.
    You should be asking her if you can buy a new bike. It's "your" both of the $$.
    After "money" the second most used word is "give". The real activity should be "share", not "give"
    Yes I'm jealous. Wish I had same thing after loosing wife when I was 67 and in great shape. 82 now with cancer so a little late. Bank account full and nothing to spend it on.
    If I had the energy and time left I would spend $10,000 (american) a month to have such a young beautiful girl rubbing my shoulder.
    Well, maybe I should give it a go. Can't take it with me!

    No offense for this content, it's obvious since the Philippines is still a developing country, sadly POVERTY is virtually evident in the Philippines society that's why scams, rip-off and even extortion is rampant everywhere even in tourists destination. That's my social observation, no offense to Pinoys seeing this✌✌✌
