They quoted PHP 331,000 for the gmtII-c and PHP 550,000 for the SDDS...just calculate the current USD-PHP conversion.

I will be in Bangkok nxt month we can find out their prices there.

A friend bought a 2nd hand GMTII-c some 2 months ago from MBK for like THB 200,000.
Hadn't seen SDDS when I was there last Nov 2008.

I have a question for the Filipino TRF contingent and it's about something which appeals to my pallet

I'm gonna be visiting the Batangas region in a couple of weeks, for 4 nights, 5 days, and we'll be diving in and around Anilao. Now, what kinds of signature dishes that a first timer to the Philippines should not leave without tasting?? Now don't hold back now, 'cos I'll eat almost anything and would give most things at least one try just to see.

Thanks in advance!!
