Twin Lakes rip off!!!!!

So... my brothers here from Canada for a visit, Takes a "pinoy" lady friend for a look at Twin Lakes and guess what the cost was to look around???/
10 pesos for the Pinoy and 100 pesos for him. Small wonder there are no tourists here a second time. Discrimination against people from other countries when it comes to visiting some of the local attractions.....
What a disgrace!!Shame on the Tourist Industry whomever makes these decisions and fees!!!!!!

 

About 8-9 years ago the wife and I set out to go to Apo Island. At that time the cost of the boat, one way, was quoted as P25 for her, and P700 for me. That was just to get there, mind you. To this day we have never tried to go back.

The list goes on and on... what about "Green Fee's" at the golf courses, Hospitals, Restaurants etc. If we did that in our home country's the tourists would be screaming bloody murder and threatening to go to court for "Discrimination". And don't say its because we have more money.. I golf occasionally and no way i could afford to drive what our "Poor Filipino" friends can afford.. What a load of crap.. Still waiting for the sign at the airport.. "Attn. All Foreigners, please go to the red aisle and turn over your money and take the next plane out"

So how about stopping by the Tourism Office at Quezon Park and letting them know how we feel about the double standard?

But if Twin Lakes is out of the jurisdiction of Dgte govt, then who would you complain to?

They be bemused for sure...just another complaining foreigner !

 

In more civilized countries like USA and the majority of Europe it's out the question that double pricing system. But no need to explain that the PH authorities, not talking about their population, cannot be considered that way and still have a long way to go. But who cares as long as the president is promising a steady stream of foreign investors and tourists as well.

 

Can i ask, when you went to Twin lakes, did you get the boat to the other side, because the path is out ?
Yes, the path has suffered from a little landslide, but its passable . . . .

 

I was there 2 months ago with my BF, we also got angry about the rip off and were told by the women in charge
who sells the entry tickets the area is managed by the DENR people. the woman told her salary is 2000/month
I dont know if its true.......... could be ...... the DENR people are known to be corrupt and .........

we went back, didnt purchase tickets for the lakes ......... they dont deserve it any better

 

I worked in the Middle East for many many years and know a lot of people who go on yearly vacations to Malaysia and Thailand but very few who have been here more than once because of the rip off that starts at the airport and continues until they leave the country.
