Briton ‘paid’ to get molest charge dropped - would you?

[offshoreoildude]

Another urban legend? Common sense would be fine to "survive" over there. Anyway, better keep your opinions to yourself, dude..

Some Tagalog speaker sounds a bit butthurt?

So your butt got hurt by your ex-wife?

Nope - I used to hurt her butt though. Sounds like you're an oversensitive PI butthurt though trying to defend a shithole of a place. Let me list the faults;
Overpopulated. No planning. No infrastructure investment. Facing massive starvation if the rice harvest fails. Incredibly corrupt. I could go on but why bother.... everyone else knows this. The only expats who want to live there are kiddy f....rs in my experience anyways.

Yadda-yadda-yadda..typical mindset of a sissy complaining too much about life. I enjoyed some of your posts -- maybe the police can help you solve some of your problems but I guess not. They didn't help much when your wife kicked your butt, right..

Not that I have any major attachment to PI, but you described most of third-world SE Asia. And maybe you should expand your horizons beyond pedophiles

Okay Guys, things are starting to get a little bit angsty and I think it's time to step back and take a chill pill. Can we stop the pissing contest? Thanks.

Apologies I didn't mean to light the blue touch paper!

The common sense rules discussed here are definitely the way to travel Internationally. I think many of those that get themselves in trouble have done something stupid, taken risks and are often intoxicated.

The Philippines does indeed have many problems and it's difficult to see how they will improve the quality of life there but most of the people are warm and caring and I have made many friends there.

Similiar scam in Philippines. Girl picks up a guy, they get to the hotel room, all of a sudden the police are knocking on the door, claims made the girl is under age (but never proven), foreigner taken to the Police station, then pays money to the Police under the table to get out so he does not end up in court and missing a flight.

Oh, and I am definitely not talking from personal experience! My wife is Filipina and the source of information

Sounds like the one in the PI where the taxi driver rings up the cops and tells them (in Tagalog) to pull you over for a drug sweep and 'surprise'! they find something on you but offer to let you off if you can liberate some cash from an ATM for you. It's a miserable country and best avoided IMO.

really?? i wonder where you went to make you say its miserable? care to share your experience?

[morenangpinay]

im sure you won't listen to me seeing as I am from the Philippines. unfortunately I feel the need to correct your misconceptions. Philippines is not overpopulated but congested and the congested areas are only in located in the country's capital of Manila. As for the infrastructure, since I went back in 2010 there are new buildings, trains, shopping malls,etc.

I don't see massive starvation anytime in the future either. Other than the corruption thing, I believe you are spreading ignorant comments. You are free to display yours but I am free to discredit your claims as well.

Oh, I've been watching in the sidelines.

NOTE: As much as I criticize Singapore, more so for the Philippines having spent most of my life there. I'm sure I'll do the same to another country once I live there long enough.

Two more, including a Singapore airline hostesss getting $10,000!

While I don't doubt the molests actually took place, it's starting to look more and more like Singaporean women are cottoning to the fact that all they have to do if brushed up against in a crowded environment, especially if said environment might also entail too much drink, that they can just yell molest and the guy gets screwed without getting screwed. He either gets fined and/or caned or even if he doesn't he gets unwelcome notoriety or pays the girl off between 2~10K in bribes. Uncomfortable feeling here. I think the definition of "outraging the modesty of" or "molest" needs to be further defined.

I'd still blame these women. Either they are opportunistic biatches (by crying wolf) or too easily convinced by the money (for genuine victims).

If it is a genuine case, I'd make sure he'd go straight down to jail and fine by law. No amount of compensation whatsoever can do for me. The women (and the court) are sending wrong messages.

Yep, it's a paradox: if they agreed for a payment (as a replacement for the statutory punishment) then they were not the true victims so the whole molestation even if technically there was questionable.

All this seems whore-ish to me.

If it catches on, then it will inevitable build a reputation that these women are whores (but in a different way). More than their 'modesty' will be outraged.

Let them be. Men will learn to keep their hands to themselves (or to willing people), these shallow women will get their money and angry people will have another reason to lash out at the world.

It's simply a miscarriage of justice.
