A man got shot for not buying a beer I believe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonjack2847 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 As has been said introduce yourself to the barangay captain then treat the locals in a friendly,respectful manner.Don`t go showering gifts on everyone as this in itself can cause problems.Mind your own business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words were exchanged, most likely the cause of the mans murder. If he had walked away.... Avoiding drunk Filipino’s is always a good idea. Not unlike here in the States drunk people can make poor decisions. Edited November 10, 2018 by Old55 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyee Posted November 10, 2018 Author Posted November 10, 2018 1 hour ago, JJReyes said: To be blacklisted by Philippine Immigration requires that you did something wrong and there is a complaint or warrant. It can't be for something minor like public intoxication. The offense must be something similar to a felony in the United States. Okay, this makes me feel better. And makes more sense. I hear all these stories about expats who settle down in the PH and are kicked out for very minor reasons. Committing a felony in in a foreign land should be a reason to be told to leave. I wonder if anyone has created a cheat sheet for Expats. A list of what not to do. Things that we do all the time in our own Country and didn't realize was such a huge violation elsewhere. For example, I talk stink about my President just about every day. I would guess that might not be a transferable habit though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many get shot? Some perspective needed surely, and the fact it made news perhaps proves how rare it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 You will find out that most people keep a low profile and are left alone. But what are the reasons immigration can kick me out? This headline sums it up: Immigration bureau to deport American for being undesirable In other words, if someone influential decides they don't want you here, they will find a way to get rid of you, IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it wasn't too hard to find reasons to kick him out t.b.f. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
