Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I'm not sure about the Philippines, but when my fiancé came to Egypt with 3 rings, all for me, he didn't pay anything cause they're his, he was only asked why he has many rings and he just said I'm proposing to my girlfriend, there was no problem.

I'm not sure if there is where I would ask this question. I bought my fiancée a engagement/wedding band ring in the US. I'm planning on taking it with me on my trip to see her in the Philippines. Will I have to pay for taking it to the Philippines?

I simply placed my fiancee' ring in my carry-on and took it to her......no questions asked. At PI customs they asked me if I had a laptop is all. I told them my laptop was a 5 y/o Dell and I was away.

I would not worry about it.

Have a good trip.
