NBI cets another expat

There is a real reason they usually do not call the real police, they can call a police friend and do a shake down of a foreigner very quickly, getting more than 100,000 P. Confusion and money available can always earn a good shake down bribe. The money is split between all involved including the hotel personnel. Cebu is famous for doing that type of thing. I would never take a young lady to Cebu (even if legal) with out a picture ID and a birth certificate to back it up with same name. Many times the birth certificate is just a loaner from sister or cousin that is legal, but that will not be a good legal excuse for a foreigner when it is determined that the birth certificate is not for the lady he is with. and she is underage.

At one time Cebu had this financial enhancement scheme going on. The expat fellow would go to a hotel with a documented legal lady, but after starting a tryst, there would be knock on the door. Another young lady, the friend of his "date", would be at the door asking to use the CR for a shower. Of coarse the guy's imagination would be invigorated... what if he got a 'two-fer" or the old "buy one, take one free" promo right there in his hotel room. Or maybe he would just be so "involved" already with his "date" that the answer "yes, come in and use the CR" would be the least destructive answer for his planned activities which had already started. BUT... soon there would be a knock on the door by an official looking "officer of the law". The visiting lady in the CR would be determined to be underage, and the negotiations would begin.. money exchange without receipts and most of the participants would be happy with the transaction.. .including the guy who thought he had just escaped a jail term. it has happened more than once, but less than the old "bullet in the suitcase" routine.

It is very unwise to have an underage lady in a hotel in Cebu, or even a legal lady without all the documentation you need. Scams may not happen all the time, but it only takes once to keep you limp for a long time.

 

I believe the law states you are not to be alone with them. Of course I suppose your legal date could take a powder.

 

Yeah! but don't they normally go in two's anyway?

 

That scam is not limited to Cebu. They do it all over Luzon also.

 

I don't know Jack. That would be outside of my field of study. I have never thought it would be helpful to have a third person handy when I wanted to practice "amateur gynecology".

 

You have to be smarter than this people. She was 15 and he could have been her grandfather. Another foreign that makes us all look bad.

 

I suspect the Filipino's in jail will have their fun with him...
