* SCAMS, RIPOFFS, ROBBERIES, MURDER, BURGLARIES, AND CRIME IN GENERAL IS SKY HIGH
I'd like to note that the average IQ in the Philippines is 81.5 and they're still flush with cash because there are so many new tourists all the time (plus the aforementioned retards tipping and sending money). Which brings me to my next point about why crime/scams & general exploitative tourist culture is so high right now; there is always a new sucker to take the place of someone who won't be a return customer. First of all, people around the world have been hearing that they can come to the Philippines & simply dominate with their money. Well, no. It's a seller's market in the Philippines now & Filipinos have no compunction about stealing or ripping off foreigners. There are people constantly getting drugged and robbed IN THE DISCOS!! Forget the number getting drugged in their hotel rooms or elsewhere - they're drugging you in a public place with lots of people & robbing you there. This particular situation happened at least 5 times in the 4 months I was visiting. Pretty much every establishment will try to rip you off at some point. If you go to a restaurant they'll run a number of scams to try & steal your money. One that I saw a lot was the staff taking 20+ minutes to bring you your change; they know a certain number of tourists are in a rush or will forget about it, and they'll keep your $10-15 in change. I waited 35 minutes one time for them to bring me my change and 40 minutes on another occasion; 20 minutes was common though. If you go to a restaurant with locals, they'll order food in Tagalog without approving it with you, and they'll bring $40+ worth of food to the table all at once and the Filipinos will refuse to pay & they'll say that you have to pay or they're calling the police on you.
