You should come over to dinner.

TO answer the OP:

Nope, you aren't going to be able to purchase bud. Sorry!

My wife is Filipino, and a fairly recent immigrant. I'll ask her... if she doesn't know, I can ask her parents.

On a side note, her Uncle is a multimillionaire (from the Aquino family, one of the Aquino's is the President of the Philippines) and one of the side businesses he owns is a security company.. which of course offers personal security services. Wife and I actually hire (uncle gives us) 2 men from his company that act as drivers/escorts/tour-guides. I think to purchase the services cost something like $50 American a day? Labor is extremely cheap over there.

Back on topic, unless you are a dual-citizen, I doubt that you can purchase a gun there. From what I understand, purchasing a firearm as a PI citizen can be strenuous... I bet as a foreigner it would be more difficult. I'll get back to you shortly.

Also.... if you are curious of places to avoid and/or go to, let me know. I can get up to date info on that too.
