... in response to Philippine Dating Agencies, posted by webspin on Jan 13, 2003Yes, there are some that offer these services. However I would strongly urge you not to pursue this route, for several reasons.
First off, this type of business is illegal in the PI.
Secondly, most of these businesses that I have investigated were as crooked as a mountain road. What could you expect from someone whose business is illegal to begin with?
They will willfully misrepresent themselves and the ladies they introduce you to. Many of the ladies some of them introduce you to haven't good intentions. All they want is your money.
My first trip to the PI was on one of these "tours". It was a total disaster. I was lied to and decieved from start to finish. For what this 10 day trip cost me, I can now go on three two week vacations there.
There are other methods available. I understand it is intimidating to go it alone, but there are many people who will be glad to offer assistance on what to do, and more importantly, what not to do.
