While leaving Philippines going through customs the officer at the window asked me for my passport . I handed it to him and he told me you have been in Philippines to long . I told him ok why is that ? He said you have exceeded 21 days . So I asked him do I get to go pass Go or go directly to jail ? Then he asked me : Did you spend allot of money in the Philippines ? I told him yes . He then told me well then your forgiven you can go pass Go ! And off I went thinking to my self he must have played Monopoly before .
Ha, you got me thinking, so I Googled it, there is a Philippine edition. Have not checked the rules, but I bet foreigners pay double and can't get title to their properties!
No $200 but you can't have everything . If I would have read harder into the forums I would have known to tell them I was with my asawa when coming into Philippines that would have given me a 1 year pass .... But it does raise a question : What if I come to Philippines to live but arrive 2 to 3 month before my asawa ?
in the western Monopoly board, you don't give a sh*t if you land on the Electric Company, as you have to pay hardly anything, But in the Filipino version, it's a really big deal and you get shafted.
