Remember the HK case ? The cop was actually not officially fired YET !!!

Isn't that the case in Singapore too...... or for that matter in any other country as well. When a cop is under investigation..... he is interdicted and put under suspension until he is charged. You cannot fire him until he has been found guilty as charged.

Dear all bros,

Just share my experience for Hollywood at Timog area, just back from there 10min ago. The decoration inside are some time ago but still acceptable, minimum spending if take up a room is PHP 4,000.

Girls charges is PHP 900 per hour. Just went with 3 Korean clients for 2 hours, drink about 12 bottle beers, order 1 round drink for girls. Total damage is PHP 9,500.

Girl quality is about 6-7 average, just some kissing and hugging. Overall fun rate is 6, may go higher if go again.

Check with mamasan Nora and she claims PHP 10,000 to tabao girl, told her to fly kite.

Hope to add more info at Timog area. Cheers!
Just for sharing.

There is a small difference .. vs Singapore and most Asian countries - not just PH.

IN Singapore, if a cop is under investigation, he cannot go out in his uniform, not enter any of the police premises, or even hold on to his ID etc .. and most important of all, cannot hold on to his gun or any gun, for that matter ...

The last part is the deal clincher

Especially when I was in another country, ex-cops, cops under investigation all carry guns and when they pull their 9 mm, you don't know in which capacity they are pulling it out .. heck, they even bring their guns for shooting competitions .. for me, letting ex-cops access to guns is the scary part. I can get away with anything, but not guns .. please

Additionally, in PH Law, even while there is case pending, even when there is witness / evidence of extortion/malpractice etc .. what I know from my contacts, I understand you may be re-assigned to desk duty ,and rarely get interdicted unless and until the case becomes solid .. so you are still allowed to be in uniform .. and be in the premises .. am I wrong there ?? You can't blame the system because the legal system is such ... no, not making the PH legal system look bad, just, it is 'different' says me ..

PS: Lucky for me, my connections in PNP are smart enough to not wanting to flaunt their guns .. I feel safer.. And Then again, these maybe the exception ..

Me too bro. I had pretty good experience in MBC when I was in Manila couple of months back.

Any idea whether Cebu has similar good FL joints like MBC?

Thanks bro

Singapore is no different after all...... this is a real case.

When I was under police supervision after my release from prison.... I had to report to the CID every week. My case officer is from SSB/CID and we got along very well as he knows my boss. One day he kenna involve in assault case at a nightclub. They took away his gun and put him in uniform on desk duty while the case is under investigation. He was not allowed to carry firearms and only do paperwork in the station. He did this for the next 3 years until he pensioned from the police force..... only after he collected his gratuity and pension was the "investigation" into his case completed......and he was charged in court as a civilian for fighting in a public place and only fined a token sum.

So who say Singapore law got no black and white?

No..... that is not the way it works.

The law is up to them to say one as they are the lawmen and enforcer of the laws. Unless he is not on good terms with his fellow cops..... they will cover each other's ass and close the case.

I have. So has manilaboy and cereal-killer. Prices has gone up and the sale of Bayshore Residential Resort which is just opposite Solaire was almost sold out even before official launch. Rental returns of certain completed projects are as high as 15% per annum. Are you interested.

How did you do it? A few of my friends bought into the PI property sector and none of them is making any profit..... in fact some of them are holding on to paper losses as the value of their property has dumped.

Selective buying. Your friends might have bought in prime areas that can't be rented out because the locals can't afford that kind of rentals.
