    I THINK 35 years old is the MINIMUM age for an SRRV.

    PRA: Philippine Retirement Authority

    Methinks the article may be a little "off"....

    Well, that covers only like 90% of the population of Filipina's here. Even if they are out they have their noses buried so far into their cell phones you would have to send a text or FB message just to get them to look up.

    STOP!! Car!

    Get out of the way!

    Can you take my order please?!

    Everything else is speculation. The courts will handle it. Let the negotiations begin.

    And that is one of the wonderful things about FB. If they did not have FB, they would have their noses buried in your stuff...." what ya doing?" ... "who was that girl you looked at?"... "why are you walking that way?", "you know what I heard about your X?" and the famous "did you know about ......". Facebook is to Filipina Gfs like TV is to a three year old... an electronic baby sitter. The easiest way to get a GF off your butt is to buy her a smart phone with FB capabilities and let her start being dumb to reality.
    Works for me... we have reality time in our house... no Cellphone from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM. unfortunately she wakes early and gets her fix before 6:30 AM.

    I was once "told" by a young lady that her sister had beat her because she did not bring home money or food. When I asked about involving the policy to my helper (not involved in this) she told me that it was a family thing and the police would not get involved. Just agreeing, when I foreigner is involved everything changes.

    I don't have much faith in my fellow expats. There are a whole lot of scum out there that come to this country. I wouldn't be surprised if he is guilty of beating the crap out of the girl.
    I don't have much faith in the locals, the reporting and the justice system here. There are a whole lot of scum that live in this country. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a setup to extort some money out of the foreigner.

    That's assuming the guy had even the slightest bit of common sense. Women beaters are usually aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

    And I hope that if this is a setup by the girl she gets sentenced to the exact same punishment that her victim would have been if he was found guilty.

    Can we take it you are sitting on the fence on this one? Seems the best place to be all round until we have not got the full story as with so many things. :pompus:

    Unless they convict him they really can't do any of that because its all heresay and unproven. It would be completely ignored as no *fair* trial was ever given. But if they do convict it means no :greedy: bribe and the person goes to jail if convicted instead of just being kicked out. Further if goes to a jury the chance of finding serious flaws in the investigation or complaint that if gets leaked out by chance could make the Philippines look even more corrupt (I know right?).

    Plus in the end what evidence is there that he was holding her and the child against her will or that the bruises came from him and not someone else or even herself? Take her word for it and the family which only knows what she posts on facebook? Hence why a blotter is required along with a medical exam. To many holes to get a strong conviction.

    Pretty sure the Philippines doesn't have juries.
