riders and crooks

Submitted by fred on Sat, 01/24/2009 - 17:53.

hi joe,

i am also a biker and i have travelled 9500 kms all around the phils on a 200xr without any major problem. pinoys always found my bike big, where i come from it is a moped at best.

what happened to you is really bad, it is not normal. anyway, what i recommend in order to avoid any problems:

1. in case you have an accident-dont stop, move on. no matter what, as a foreigner you will land in jail otherwise and the blame will be on you

2.if you get robbed and you hit the crooks: hit them hard so the cannot follow you and leave, do not wait for the police and do not report anything to the police. the police is corrupt anywhere on the phils, they will not help you and blame you instead, trying to extort money from you

3.if you cannot beat them, join them: make rich pinoy friends, meet the mayor, judges, the police commander and try to work for the police. it does not mean you will have to work anything at all but you will get a police id and stay out of trouble. in case there is trouble, you will have powerful friends to bail you out.

you have no rights on the phils as a foreigner, what do you want to stand up for?

try to find the right friends to protect you, there is no legal certainty and no justice on the phils.

fred
