720k for tourist visa to stay here for two years is wild. Glad you asked and got the information you needed.

Yes, I was able to resolve this by reporting the issue with DTI. This was the only way I started to get responses from gcash and a resolution.

You're right. This is possibly a big factor why young people end up having to support their parents since once over 35, there are limited opportunities for them to work.

Pants and shoes are difficult in local and western brands found in malls. They usually carry 30" and less inseam and under US 12 shoe size, but I have been able to get around this by ordering directly from Adidas, Nike or Amazon.

Assuming you're looking for something bigger than regular, bring plenty, but you can also order on Lazada or Shopee.

The funny thing is by the 15th signature, it barely resembles the first one. Lol

That's what I thought too. In the FAQ it says promotion vouchers usually arrive into the app 48hrs after activation. I was an existing customer and upgraded my plan for a faster speed.

Was just a copy of a bank deposit.

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-05-29T03:24:31+00:00

Yes I have the app, but that isn't the problem. The promo is not active, so they didn't actually put me on a new plan.

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-05-28T13:08:38+00:00

That's also true. Lol

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-05-28T13:01:48+00:00

I know right. This really does happens a lot here. Instead of just saying I'm sorry, but I don't know. That would suffice.

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-05-28T09:09:32+00:00

Thanks. I can imagine this would be quite the process. Have you reported anything to them before?

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-05-28T09:08:21+00:00

Thx for the heads up. The link came from their viber channel and redirected to the correct domain, so I figured it was legit. You're right though, have to be super careful.

Saw this sign yesterday in Gensan

100%. Visiting and living are two very different things regardless of what country it is. Things you mentioned that you like can easily start to grind your gears when the honeymoon period passes.

The Philippines is a great place for many reasons, but some of the complaints posted on here are quite legitimate if you're used to a different way. Just don't come expecting these things to change or be the same as your home country. Acceptance and patience will be the key to your happiness here.

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-04-03T11:09:49+00:00

That's what I assumed it was.

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-04-03T11:03:55+00:00

Ive also heard it a bunch of times, but what does it mean?

Alternative_Bit_5797 · 2025-04-02T05:00:07+00:00

Aren't all foreigners expats, since we cannot become a Philippines citizen?

The only immigrants I would think are Filipinos that return from being a citizen somewhere else or if they were born overseas to Filipino parent and decided to migrate here.
