I'm at a loss on this one as to why it happens. I do agree with wrye that the motive is almost always a scam. The post I read the other day really set me back at how fast the insults and vitriol started when no one agreed to use their precious resources to fund a ideal that they did not share. I find the logic that a person can bully and insult their way into the pockets of experienced adults like our selves to be absurd and childish.

 

This is a lesson in risk also. I didn't think about it (walking through dead areas at night) because I have never had problems. Locals warn me all the time, but again, never had problems. But when you do have a problem, the risk can be huge. It's like driving a motorcycle (which is why I don't drive.) You rarely get into a wreck. But when you do get into a wreck, it could kill you. Aside from death, the risk of physical injury (and financial distress) is sky high. Smoking has a similar risk profile (not everyone gets cancer, but the cancer can kill you.) Small lifestyle changes can remove big risks.

 

I live 4 years in Bohol, 3 of them in Panglao. I moved to Dumaguete last year in juli. People are different, thanks god, some like city other countryside. Couple of reasons I move here to Negros. Panglao is a touristplace, now international airport will open december 2017, at least that the plan. Much more tourist on the way, and there already a lot, more and more koreans to, prices goes up, already not a cheap place to live, when you compere to other areas in Philippines. All tourist areas attrac scammers/criminels, its here the money are. I started out living in Tawala, few hundred meters from Alona beach, restaurants, bars and diving shops side by side, nice place for party, thats for sure. After playing tourist 8 months, rent hotel appartment, I moved to north of Panglao, near Mommo beach, more peaceful, and still only 10-15 min on bike to Alona. I need malls like you Billybob, not to hang around, but for shopping, want some imported stuff, cinema, bank, postoffice, maybe hospital, dentist with out travelling far away each time. I had good time in Panglao, but main reason lo leave, I don't want live in really crowed tourist area, With all the negativ sides it brings. Why Negros/Dumaguete ? I visit here many times and find people here more friendly, same say my friens from Bohol who visit here.From Dumaguete, like Tagbilaran, easy to reach other places in Philippines by plane or ferry. Important to me is optiens to do what I like to do, hobbys. I like go around on bike see new places, meet locals, yes you can do that every where, but Negros are new to me and bigger than Bohol, with a big city Bacolod near by. After 1 month in hotel appartment in Dumaguete and nearly 2 months in resort south of Dumaguete, roming around to find permanent place, I feel lucky find appartment in Bacong 20-30 meter from sea, water here is clean.Fishing is one of my hobbys, bought small boat of a member in this site, design for fishing, fishfinder, steeringwheel, 10 hp Kohler engine, really nice playtoy, if any members have same interest, your welcome to contact me and we can go fishing togheter. Already visit Panglao in boat even its only 5 meter/15 feets long, exciting trip.

Which just shows, its not about saving a child or getting a low life off the street. Its about money. They couldn't care less about the kids. Not really justice or law enforcement, just a joke.

 

The pinoy walk now that would be something to see.

 

When was doing business in the Philippines fun?

 

Well Jack... I am building a new "Sit Your Bum Down Resto"' on the beach, Km 10.9 in Bacong. Will open in April. 80 seats covered or open air. With the same concept as my pizza place 2 years ago. This time I own the property so I am pulling out all the stops. Stay tuned as I will have a sponsor page soon and all can see pics and updates on construction. Or add me on FB...Gerry duma
