Cebu exchange rate 34.5p = 1Sgd a week ago, Angeles should be around the same.

I use this underwear after i withdraw from the atms / or change at money changer to keep abt 20-30 pcs notes n a credit card.
Talk abt getting into one's pants, think almost impossible for the crooks unless they go for the extreme.
Been serving me well travelling for more than 10 years.
Downside is u need to go washroom to extract the notes if insufficient to pay from pants pockets.



Landing in AC this evening.

arghh... too bad i dont usually put on my underwear in ac...

As what I had remember or my colleagues... there is no surcharge.

Take my latest trip about 3 weeks ago. I stayed at the Walkabout hotel on Fields Ave for 3 nights. The bill at checkout time was 6,000p. I had a choice to pay by CC or by cash.
By CC will be the full amount of 6,000p.
By cash will be the amount of 5,400p (6,000-10% CC fees).

you big tycoon don’t come here to suan me lah, if i am the phone dealer then you must be the country distributor.

business seems back to normal nowadays. for last few months, i have no issue with last minute hotel room booking but this time it is fully booked.

Both Atlantis and Tropix were raided simultaneously. They took away about 200 employees from both bars. Looks like they are looking for an extremely big fat X'mas funds donation this year.

There was a slight difference in their raid this time as they kept all the customers inside and conducted a search on every one of them. Those that were carrying illegal items like weapons, sex drugs and contraband were given a choice to pay a "donation" on the spot or make a trip back to the station. All of those accused chose to donate to the cops X'mas fund.

Likewise, those without any identity papers were also made to donate before they were allowed to leave. It took about 1 hour for all the affected customers to pay and leave the bars.

Not so lucky for the staff as all of them were brought to DW in 16 jeepneys. I was fortunate in that I was out having my supper with Chris when they did the raid.

It is always happening, once in a while. I think it is like a musical chair thing. Maybe also a bit of a roulette

I think it would be a good time to visit Alantis when it reopens. Unlikely to be raided twice in a short span of time.

Anyway, Viking was also raided a few months back.

FYI, Atlantis was raided just 3 weeks ago. It is rare for that place to be raided twice within 3 weeks so I think the donations from the earlier raid was not satisfactory to the cops. Both Atlantis and Tropix belongs to the Dollhouse Group.

Wow..... 200 employees! That is a really fat Christmas bonus for them.
At 10K per head..... that's an easy 2million for their Christmas party funds.
