Chris,
The point you raised is what upsets me the most. I'm willing to spend a substantial amount of money in their country and then they treat me this way. Makes me want to say "scr** them!" and then decide to go somewhere else that won't give us a hard time. Taking a holiday is not worth this kind of hassle. The places in Manila that we have contacted want us to buy our tickets with them as a condition of them helping us which isn't acceptable to me. Thanks for your input.
