Crocodiles

Yes, Crocodiles are everywhere, but mostly in the Philippines.

That said the old boss to get my wife when we were together in Manila in Kopi TIAM with a glass of beer sat together. We have talked about this and that and talked, among other things, what we do projects.
  I had a project which started from the train seemed to run. I was not only because of our wedding as soon as possible back to the Philippines has come, but also because this Projekts.I must delve a little further.
 
Before I first wanted to visit the Philippines, I was in the internet, among others, in forums "clever" made. It was not long, since my resolution was fixed. It should Sabang, because there the best diving and snorkeling areas are located. On the Internet, I was then also the offer of a German made, in his resort, but in which White Beach is, to live His girlfriend lived there and she leads the resort .. Since I already had my room booked in Sabang had unfortunately this was not, but I wrote him that, if I would promise not Sabang, White Beach I would move.
In Sabang, I arrived in the beautiful dive sites in the area, the turquoise sea, but there was no beach but only nightlife. We saw old to very old men who are about 18 year old girls on the street would help. It was not my "thing" over there to spend my vacation and so I took that job in my "internet friend" and after a brief telephone call after I moved to White Beach.
It was a very nice resort and the owner (as I said) was a German 



the honest to look after me. It was good times again, and too German to redenund they showed me the beach at night life in White Beach.
Directly opposite the resort was a constructiona buid Resort, where the basement was finished handles, it lacked a few things to make it to guests then let them. 



It turned out that the owner of a Philippina was for long years had lived in Germany and now by her mysterious new life wanted to create. She was present at the time and so she came to a many times over coffee. I learned it a long girlfriend was my landlady, but at the moment is not the necessary "change" in order to complete the construction. They asked me then whether I would have interest, to complete the construction and repeated again and again how lucrative it is, especially in White Beach, the resort not far away from Manila located, the rooms have always holds in the fully booked during peak season. So it would be a high return to be expected.
Since I had planned anyway, after my working life I am in an Asian country, were asking their fertile breeding ground for me. More and more and the more we talked about, grew up in me the idea that there in reality, especially as it distressed me as soon as possible, since the materials already in the last year, while the off-season have been very scarce and increasingly expensive . Ok, I approved a. The blueprint was drawn up and the building permit obtained, construction could begin.
There was still a hook. How could I protect myself? The Philippina needed to penetrate their money to complete construction and also for further financial affairs a post-white that they have a monthly income. We have long discussed how we could make, and came to his decision, we make a preliminary zuerstmal which stood as follows: I give the philippina 550,000 pesos to me, after the Bank receives a loan, pay back. If they do not get credit, it has given me from the sale on the grounds of the house with the land, the sum to be paid back.
In good faith, everything right now to have made, we made an appointment with our lawyer and then there was the actual leasingcontract for the land and the construction made. There were several witnesses there, including the contract signed. However, I was at the talks, most of which were in Tagalog and in English which I hardly understood totally overwhelmed and in good faith, so that everything is done as we had previously discussed. (It was a big mistake)
With the construction started we are still in the time when I was still on the ground. 






But then it was time, I had returned to Germany and how it should continue with the construction going? first was an account opened its mandate, the German girlfriend of my German friend, with the purpose of these funds transferred to me, the construction forward. Furthermore, we made an agreement that they managed the funds and then the materials and the construction workers have to pay. (that they are dealing with one days salary of 400 pesos enter I was only known at the next visit). And this daily salary it had paid to himself, until the day when I was back on the spot. Building was in October 2008 and I arrived mid-March 2009 !!!!!

Arriving in Germany I asked again and again after the progress of the work and never got a correct answer, but always answers, the core of my questions but were not always the "Please" send money for the next phase. I requested pictures of the progress of construction, but initially got nothing.
But there was still my girlfriend, who in Manila had their jobs terminated. I said to her, but please take time after Mindoro order after the rights to see. And they went there. What they told me from there reported was for me a disaster. The construction was stopped and the last money I had been paid for the purchase of the land title has been used (without me first be notified in advance), because the peso was mortgaged !!!!!!! 390000

From Germany, I could not do anything. So I had to as soon as I can back to the Philippines. What awaited me there, I can hardly describe it. My lawyer was on the street has been shot, I build a single buildruin and then I still have bills presented to me in the blood brought to the boil. 



Until now, I'm once again this year, I simply can not bear the sight. 



I learned all this before our wedding and everyone can probably understand that we have no time for honeymoon remained.
Yes, Sam, all I have told him and he said to me: you looking for a good lawyer, because the laws here in the Philippines are different than in Germany and you have to see that you come to your right. This can take a long time and then came the sentence:

Yes, Crocodiles are everywhere, but mostly in the Philippines

I have Internett ask around and acquaintances also emigrated to entertain and must now find that I am only one among many others am so, or something like that was betrayed.

We have found a new lawyer and we hope that he does not have the same fate, as our prior lawyer. But now we have every month for a hearing after Calapan, where the Court of us always wants to see regularly. It is pure stress. the date is 8-30 and we must advance on a jungle slope (one way 50 kilometers) hin.das is there for us every time by 4 to clock up the first Jeepnay there to reach. But the results are always the same, especially since nothing we can not process respondent and dismissed by her brother represent them. (Of course, from prehistory has no idea)
On the question of how to proceed, our lawyer replied again: we must wait for the next hearing and then we know more.It can still take a long time, until we, or the counterparty a buyer for the object is found. The purchase price is now with    6 000 000 peso value.
Well, wait we are, what it appears
