its sad to say that when filipino comitted a crime in a foreign country, he has to follow the laws from that country. whereas, when foreigner commited a crime in the phils, it doesnt matter as long as money works on it..how pathetic!its so unfair..
were not talking what race r u from, respect law.

Call me cynical but wouldn't it be easier to say that you're NOT a UK citizen and you want to bring your family over?

this made the local news down the West Country. What it doesn't say is that they met via the internet. Couldn't he just have dated a local girl? Does he enjoy making life more complicated than it is? What is it with men who have these fetishes anyway?

Ah, morality prevails....

they had to spend £1,000 in bribes to get bail at £150, because of charges of adultery in a "devoutly catholic country."

What a world!

Dan, Portland, US

He broke the law in another country. He was offered a financial way out and didn't take it.

Moral of the story: don't break the law in a foreign land.

pu li, Guangxi,

"loss of face" he suffered after he discovered she was dating a foreigner.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE!!!!!!

The world is supposed to be modern, isnt it?!?!

Adultery happens everywhere in the Philippines. So many Filipinos have 2 families, and the 'girly' bars and massage parlours are everywhere to be found. Having sex in the Philippines is easy and cheap - the arrest of the Briton was just a ploy to get money from the foreigner
