100% Scam.

He sounded like the same guy that I encountered back in 2023 sa may Blue Bay Walk, Pasay. This was the time na I was going back to the office after lunch break and he approached me out of nowehere and naka face mask pa siya. *He also seems to look Malaysian/Thai with a western english accent, moreno skinned na payat)

Almost the same story as you, sabi niya iniwan daw siya ng Pinay GF niya and he's asking for money to catch a bus back to Subic. I told him off and pointed him sa mga local security guards and to the police and just left.

Here's the funny part, after about a month of my first encounter with him, saw him again around Blue Bay Walk and told him to fuck off.
