To the aspiring passport bros wanting to get out for the first time
Hello! I am offering my extensive experience as an older full time passport bro, and possibly a place to land here in the Philippines if you need some guidance. There is nothing more scary than being by yourself in a new country, inexperienced, not knowing how to get around, and not knowing the rules.
I have been that guy and ya, it will remind you that you have a pulse. I have also been scammed 5 different ways from women that I thought I could trust.. there is nothing worse then landing after an 18 hour flight and ur ride doesn’t show up. Better hope you brought the local cash with you for the taxi ride home and some lunch😂😂.
If you see that guy in beat up clothes standing by the taxi you have ur eye on, he is there for a reason. He will charge you as much as possible for loading up ur bags in that taxi, and you know he knows the driver. It’s borderline scam, but for the guy who doesn’t know any better it’s an easy trap to fall into. Better hope you know where ur going so ur not metered to death taking the small roads home (long ride, equals big tip in addition to the ride fair).
If you wanna come to the Philippines for that girl you’re talking to then go for it! Wanna meet someone while n ur here?? No problem, lots of women to choose from.. just be charming and a nice guy. Be ready to pay for everything. If anything happens you I can help dig you out of trouble.
I would highly recommend being prepared to live like a local. Go to the local sweatbox gyms, eat at the local food sellers, shop at the local markets. There is nothing worse than coming here and being confined to a condo on the 15th floor and the shopping mall circuit.
Do you like motorcycles?? Me too! You can tour all the twisties like Marilaque hi-way. Are you a coffee drinker?? Lots of local shops all over the NCR, I visit many hidden local spots every week.

Just keep it real, don’t buy into the sandy beach dream vacations they sell you. The Philippines is messy, loud, crowded, smells really bad in some places, and can test ur patience on the daily. This is a third world country.. nothing is free…they count to last peso here so dont expect something for nothing. However, The Philippines can be a life changing experience if you have the right attitude, like it was for me when I started coming here ✌️✌️
