Current concerns

7 years ago
If someone with direct, recent experience has relevant information or can direct me to a reliable source for any or all of the following questions I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you.
1. I made the cardinal mistake and got married. Can I just agree with her to separate and just live elsewhere (either here in PH or other country)?? I know I can just leave under some ruse or other; however returning consequences (if any) are currently an unknown for me.
2. This week in Cebu where I live they randomly declared some holiday and the BI was unexpectedly closed. I needed to make my visa current to travel; I took the passport with me regardless as it is seldom checked as to being current and fortunately was able to process in it Angeles.
In Cebu they retain your passport for a week! While in Angleles they returned it at 3pm same day. My question: what is the consequence if you miss by a day or two your “due” date?
3. During the past two years in Cebu three poker rooms were closed. Was that random or part of some plan? I was playing 3-5 times a week and wish to again. Here in Angeles its available 24/7. My question: are there other cities where poker is played “legally” on a regular basis (not Manila)?
4. Are there other cities with a similar array of girl bars as Angeles (not Manila, Subic Bay, Cebu)?
5. I occasionally use an umbrella for protection from the scorching heat. My question: is it possible that I may have latent homosexual tendencies?!
