Buying used Motorbikes in the Philippines

Why did she not have a receipt?

would it be easier for me get a international license uk as they last for a year i think i have used them in Thailand when i hired car and had no problems even when stopped by police up in Issarn

No. An International license is simply contains translations of your UK license into a number of languages and on its own has no validity. The only license the Philippine authorities really care about is your national (UK) license and that's valid for 90 days here commencing from your first arrival. You will have to apply for a Philippine license.

Because the official simply refused to give her one. In telling the story she remarked that he was Moslem, for what that is worth, but I don't know what difference it makes.

ok thanks will have get phill license then
