They number over 2,000. Most rely on the 3 years visitor visa extension, so the government data does not reflect the correct number. In Iloilo, there are several care facilities for Germans with Alzheimer. Germaguete. Okay. Well, I guess they never hang out with each other as Germans - from lived experiences - hate Germans either if they are outside of Germany or generally all Germans (unsure which one applies). I remember the days I went to holiday with my family in the 90s and it was always like "oh, other Germans, lets pretend not being German". Well, we got kinda indoctrinated to hate ourselves for the world's safety . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutenberg Posted May 21 Posted May 21 I am currently browsing the German Phillipines forum and the 2024 thread from "Less Germans in PH?" has half of the forum members writing about how they don't want to meet other Germans and some German cliques who don't want 'newcomers'. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are BGC buses for inside BGC. And there are a few different bus stops and a large station at Market Market for rides outside BGC. No trikes and Jeepneys are only allowed at the periphery.

We have always heard stories about "ugly Americans" I remember in San Diego during the Americas cup sailboat races, the Australians hit the down in droves. It was right when that movie crocodile dundee hit too. Damn them and their accents,,,all the girls just flocked to those swarmy bastards with their down under accent............we couldnt get laid for weeks, they hogged all the girls 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
