users in the phillipines set foreigners up . they offer you it for many reasons and consume it with you then stitch you up over a day or 4 through different corrupt alleways and all sorts of shady shit thats rife over there. when i went there i was pretty certian there was no law but this other shady asian corruption network thing :S lol....
dont do it. its not worth it, you'll have to run if you figure out your being stitched up. its that shady and corrupt that its nearly possible to do it legally aswell well kinda thing... if you get me..... ? :S lol
If i wasnt from there i wouldnt do it. Way too sketchy for foreigners.
After going there too see a friend of mine (Australian who lives there and here aswell) i wouldnt bother. the place is foul corrupt and not all that interesting plus its real sketchy in general.
Plenty of better things to do with your money than go there lol Plenty of better places around the world than that joint.
Yaba? Have not heard of yaba in the phillipines lol.
Its well known they do this, just look up "Indonesia cannabis death penalty foreigners". There was a particularly nasty case where there was some British or Dutch guy, can't remember, had brought an oz of wax with him and they offed himLol I remember reading a few American users reports of people upset how they were treated after importing a dime of marijuana into Japan I think it was ?
Link to users being executed ? Thanks
The trick with the bribes is to bribe as early as possible with the lowest level guy. As it goes up the chain the cost just gets higher and higher. You could bribe a street cop with $100 but a judge was $10,000 depending on the case. My company had to settle with a police colonel for something like $40k once over a labour dispute because they tried to follow the law.
Sadly this is mostly true. Problem being that if you get on the wrong side of someone with more power or money than you, or some such person is in trouble and needs a notch on their belt, you won't be able to bribe your way out. All doors close around you if you're not well connected or if you piss someone off or are just unlucky. I've seen Indo friends spend a year in jail with leg irons and shaved heads simply for building a farm in "the wrong place" (true example - turned out a jealous relative set the whole thing up) so I wouldn't want to get caught there with narcs, it's Russian Roulette in one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
