Let me know.
The 1st thing that comes to my mind?
Years ago I was there working as a young man. I had been there for about 6 month, when another young man came over from the USA. it was his 1st trip outside the USA> I took him out for dinner and drinks. A beautiful Filipina came to our table and was flirting with my friend. When they decided to leave together, I advised my friend not to go...he just laughed at me, and told me I was jealous. I told him again he was going to regret this and not to go.
I went back to our hotel.
About 2 hours later my friend came into the room in a rage, turned my bed over throwing me on the floor, and started kicking me. All I could do was laugh hysterically as he was screening...."you knew that was a man, you knew....."
My 1st thoughts....BEWARE OF THE BENI BOYS!!! Things are not always what they seem.
Great place, I travel regularly to the PI and Thailand.
Learn the culture, customs and a bit of the language.
(If you do not know what a Beni Boy is I will let some to the locals explain it. )
