    When you have a firm buyer, and you are really sure he has the cash then you can go to that lawyer beside Bogarts, bring the buyer or have all of his information (perhaps a photocopy of his driver's license). Take the buyer with you if that is possible.

    The lawyer will do all the paperwork and you just pay 1,000 pesos. You cannot be sure the buyer will register the car but it won't matter so long as you keep the bill of sale to say its not yours anymore. It won't be your problem if the vehicle is registered in another province, the buyer can still register it. Use a throw away sim to conduct business with the buyer and then move after the sale. Of course that part is just being facetious but other than that, he has your address from the old registration so he can knock on your door if he thinks you sold him a lemon. Of course you need to sign the sale document but it was my experience that the buyer does not. In my case the buyer was not even present when I got the papers drawn up, but perhaps he signed them later, not my concern. In my case I just took the vehicle and the completed sale document to the buyer and exchanged them for his cash. done deal.

    This comparison is about prices/fees. Not about quality

    Hi guys,

    I would just like to share this very good news and certainly will help a lot of people in case of emergency. Just last week, I had to call the police to report a drunkard harassing every passing vehicles near St. Paul University gate 3. It could have been an easy 911 call instead of googling for the local police station number. :smile:

    Note: Please be reminded that prank 911 calls is considered a serious offense and punishable by law.

    Cheers to the Duterte administration for making this happen....fast! :smile:

    I travel here in Duma always by pedicab...And on numerous occasions have had people in the front of the cab move out to the side..... so I could ride up front...It seems as though because I am an American .. they want to show me respect for some reason ... and I am very moved when they do that ... as... I do not feel I am more special than they...So when it does happen I pay there fare in respect back to them...

    "Stupid is as Stupid does" aptly describes this thread!

    Is a thread ever retired or does it remain for ever in Dumaguete Info. Forum? ....ready to be brought to life again <groan> by someone new complaining about living here.

    Adjust to the culture and lets move on.

    I see in many different countries that are experiencing influxes of migrants, that a major complaint of the citizens living in those countries are that many of the immigrants don't want to assimilate into that country's culture.

    Sort of ironic that many of those citizens would come to another country and be guilty of the same thing.

    I think Pompolino is right about the cause of most of the problems. It is simply bureaucratic behavior, you see it everywhere when dealing with government. You see something that doesn't make sense and ask the person to change it, but the default answer is always no. You don't get fired or get in trouble in a bureaucracy for saying no, you don't get more work that doesn't benefit you in any way for saying no and what doesn't make sense right now might have made sense at one time, but it can't be changed without authorization.

    Staff is seldom given any leeway in the PI, that isn't how management thinks or is trained, they themselves probably have little leeway, so it all rolls downhill. The good news is, that like most things, things are getting better, although slowly. Probably the best thing to do is support those little islands of hope that you find and hope that others follow.

    Right. Nobody came here to get rich. Nobody came here because they were rich. Some who came here are rich. But nobody needs to BE rich to love the place, including me and my Filipina wife.
