Paying bribes in Clark airport to corrupt officials

People always tell me the Philippines is corrupted, but many tourists never see this side,

I lived in the Philippines in 2008, and made a trip out to Malaysia, I did not notice my passport visa expired, the visa office in Europe gave me the wrong visa!

I had to pay a fee to get it extended, when I questioned this, they delayed me more so I could miss the flight, when finally paid the official amount, they added an extra 2000 peso in the visa office in Clark town.

Actually I was not allowed in at first as I was wearing shorts, kind of strange that they have such high standards, as when you enter in to get extension, the people running the Visa show have no tourism standards and charge more (bribing fee, which does not get put on receipt).

Overall in the Philippines the people are great, except if your in a position to get something done, there is a small bribe fee.

I dont think was too bad actually overall, as people are never threatening and are always very well mannered, but you just got to accept this this may happen if your visa expires, so always make sure your documents are in order.
