P11,I have read and digested all that you say....But,is there any chance that you can agree to a monthly settlement with her,maybe pay a couple of months monies..and then leave the country (on the pretense of having a holiday) after a couple of months and come back home (should things over there become unbearable)..?

Cheers.

Many whitening products here contain fairly high levels of inorganic mercury, many times the levels that are allowed in most other countries, especially in the Chinese products, there is little or no quality control ( well none that a few $s won't sort out ). The WHO have loads of documents covering the ingestion/use of mercury or mercury products. Adverse health effects of the inorganic mercury contained in skin lightening creams, injections and soaps etc. include: kidney damage, skin rashes, skin discolouration and scarring, reduction in the skin’s resistance to bacterial and fungal infections, anxiety, depression, psychosis and peripheral neuropathy.

You only have to remember the saying "As mad as a hatter" and that was caused by the mercury they used to put a shine on the top hats.

The visa run is totally seperate from the exit clearance visa. Anyone who has ( non Filipino) stayed in the Philippines for over 6 months needs an exit visa to leave the Philippines. P11 maybe able to leave ( he would need to seek advice on that issue) even if a court awarded financial penalty was imposed. He could then re- enter the Philippines and continue to pay the financial penalty...........but why not exit, not come back and be shackled by a heavy financial burden ?

But looking at a number of results glutathione, the main substance seemingly used for skin whitening here is said also to detoxify the body from mercury:

I can imagine that some of the better quality products do remove quite a few unwanted elements from the body, but here the quality is somewhat lower and not normally given in the full required doses. I can't remember what the mercury content of some whitening products confiscated a few years ago but it was not far behind some kids toys that had 39,000 time the legal levels of lead content.

hate to be the one to point this out, but your story is no different and we all saw it coming.

Since Phil 11 rejected all advice for years to get out of the situation, with often referring to a gloomy life back in the UK, there are other places in the world that offer the benefits of the Philippines in terms of cost of living Getting out of the Philippine I think is where the main focus must be. Plus now with his having his third world experience hopefully if he went to another country things would turn ot better for him.

I sympathize with his predicament, and have seen others who also went through some what similar situations not understanding the nature of the Philippines.

This is not the case. If you enter the country on a Balik Bayan visa no exit clearance is required and a no fee stay of up to months.

No exit clearance required for SRRV holders

I hardly think that I would be allowed to leave the court never mind the Philippines if there was a fine imposed. When I was arrested, I was not initially permitted to leave custody to find the bail. Fortunately common sense prevailed and I was escorted to the ATM.

Morpeth.......I rejected all advice for good reason to leave the Philippines as previously stated on numerous occasions. Your last sentence <<<<Plus now with his having his third world experience hopefully if he went to another country things would turn ot better for him.>>>>>> is very condescending ...


Millhouse......My story is completely different to the one you refer. I had a perfectly good marriage and life in the Philippines up until the last couple of years. I tried to save that marriage which i believe most people would try to do. If you had a difficulty in your marriage would you suddenly leave the country?

"if you had a difficulty in your marriage would you suddenly leave the country?"
As a Westerner in a Third World country my answer is a resounding yes. But then I have extensive experiences in Third World countries, and unfortunately I have seen this game played out time and time again without any winners.
However P11 I do hope you come out of this as a victor.

I was referring to P11. P11 has no SRRV visa or a Balikbayan visa. I have a 13a visa and can pick up an exit visa at the airport.... assuming I have no offenses flagged up against me. I do not have to apply 72 hours prior to departure.
