What are guest policies like in the Philippines?
While there is plenty of talk about going, I am surprised how little I have heard regarding guest policies and cockblocking. I hope the lack of mentioning means that this rarely applies, but I'm not really sure.
So from experience how easy is it to find a hotel that allows you to bring in one guest and out of those that don't give you an issue with having one guest, do they tend to be in the higher price range, lower, or in all price ranges?
Seriously, so many people wanna go, no one wants to show up in the Phils, only to find out that hotels won't even let you do what you came all the way here to do!
Hopin for this to not have a negative impact on my stay, this issue affects all of us thinkin about Phils
Although, if this is a problem, I might consider alternative living accommodation options.

Are you actually serious about this? lol
I never thought such a thing would be true.
If that's the case, well then, when I go get the girl, I just put those things on, go get her and come back with her and my flipfops and shorts on and proceed on!
But this is serious, I want to make sure things work because these policies could ruin my stay if they have the policies and I can't get around them. I'm gonna be there awhile.

Which one is that? Keyword searches yield nothing regarding 'guest policy' and 'hotel' in Phillipines, except one post where someone said something like "I never had a problem in 2 dozen or more hotels through SE asia, except one in Cebu, Phils" So so far, it is just one negative result that does little more than just make it look like cockblocking might be more a Phils thing. But either way, I only found one thing about this.

Ok thanks. so far, not so bad.
So I am hoping that the lack of mentioning in these forums is because simply this issue doesn't arrise with people an they go on with their business. I hope that's the norm.

RE: What are guest policies like in the Philippines?
The question is fine. I'm saying there's 7 PI threads on the first page of the travel section, and 10 on the first two.
If you have a random PI question, post in one of those. This question, and asking how to know if FilipinoCupid chicks are "DTF", would be best in one of the existing threads to keep the forum from getting cluttered.
If everyone who has one random question about the PI or Thailand starts a new thread, we'd have fifty new threads a day knocking all of the other good info back down the forum.
I might be an asshole, but I think that makes sense.

Drop a data sheet on jane & finch! haha. For those of you outside of Toronto thats basically considered the most ghetto part of Toronto. People from that region probably look at it similar to how they'd look at a place like Camden even though it didn't look all that bad when I visited the York campus which is nearby.

Lol. I knew someone would mention my intersection. But ya. If anyone knows any extra stuff about the Philippines, just put together a data sheet and post it on the busstop glass in front of Jane Finch mall so I have something useful to read until the bus comes lol

I hadn't slept for probably 36 hours and was still drunk as shit from partying in Rapongi all night with some guy I met from Switzerland. It was decent inside actually but in the slums of ermita (not to self never again stay in ermita) After sleeping for 10 hours went out to some club met a couple of chicks bringing them in wasn't an issues at all although they had to leave their ID's with security. After reading a thread (high life in Manila or something to that effect a lot of good info there) ended up in Makati at hotel Antel Upscale place maybe$-$100 $150 a night stayed for a week no probs at all. My last three weeks rented a private condo at Gramercy no problems there (now there is a club inside that makes it more convenient then ever). I had the same worry and couldn't find the answer then again I only found this forum a week before I left, but it could vary from place to place this was just my experience....
Ok thanks. that sounds good. I guess that if most only go as far as requiring ID (or just charging a second guest if you bring more than one) then bringing just one (which is all you should ever need) should be a piece of cake.
On an OT, I am not sure what thread I am supposed to write this in for the Phils, but I did read about certain areas such areas near Davao that are a no go zone due to threat of violence. I heard that they advise against all travel to Davao, Zamboanga ect. Anywhere on the island, the one that contains Davao. I hear Cebu and Manila are considered just normal security level, but those other areas are now a threat zone. this should be made visible to those that considered the abduction-prone zones of the country to go and visit.
