The best all around is Globe phone and internet combo. I been here 20 years and have tried them all. I would also invest in a battery back-up that will keep your internet modem alive during black outs! Keep in mind that doing business here will usually aggravate most foreigners. Try not to show you are upset. Smile, beg, and tip heavy and you'll get better treatment. And if you need repairs, be sure to compliment, smile, and tip the repairman so he will rush back when you need help again. NEVER YELL OR SHOW ANGER TO A FILIPINO!

 

The type of greenhouse I built is intended to prevent fruit flies, and few other types of insects, from getting to the plants. I think the main reason why most of the tomatoes you see for sale locally are green is that fruit flies don't attack them until they start to turn yellow/red. The covering of the greenhouse is only a fine mesh netting. It let's rain and wind in, but keeps the bugs out.

Noel's referal came by when he said he would --looked at the problem-turned off the water to the house and then went up to the hardware store for some parts-came back and finished it up--went just like I hoped it would--
thanks

 

I don't think you can, the workers would destroy them and you would have to buy it. But Rejoice sell "real" Bosch and Dewalt tools and good quality concrete bits. For about a 100 usd you can buy a hammer drill and they have a great selection of bits. Also they are the warranty shop for all of Negros and do super repair work....

 

Computers and phones are pretty universal these days. Your concern might be power plugs and sockets of the country you're going to.

 

Good idea. He may be having a reaction to the alcohol (diabetic perhaps) or he may have eaten something besides alcohol that made him sick or he may just need a blood transfusion to replace the alcohol in his arteries with real blood. :-)

 

Some resorts are very busy during dive high season so not as enthusiastic for welcoming walk ins. Many like Bambulo, not a dive resort and a nice pool, in Bacong

 

These guys are pretty ballsy, the drug lords were too until Duterte said the 4 magic words... "You're on the list"
