First time GM here visiting Manila soon and plan to avail quite a few theras / freelance PSP's while I'm there. Hoping to avoid mistakes and get some basic questions answered by fellow GM's to help with the experience. I've done quite a bit of reading and appreciate insights from others!

1. I plan to do outcall only which is the safest option and I'll be at a higher end hotel in BGC. Any issues with bringing theras / PSP's to higher end hotels, especially in BGC? Plan is to pay for transpo or order their Grab and meet at lobby to bring them up.
2. I'm FilAm so I can understand/speak Tagalog, but recognize I'm still technically from the West. Is there a risk of being charged higher prices because I'm a foreigner or do PSP's typically charge set rates regardless? Frankly, the PSP's I avail will make waaaaaay more money through tips & rebookings by charging me fair rates than trying to charge higher rates because I'm a foreigner lol
3. I know each thera/PSP has their own prices they'll give once you inquire, but are there estimated price ranges I should be expecting? I know it's fully based on services availed but more so curious about how much time you spend with them and how much that should cost
4. Is it taboo to ask for recent test results or is that standard? I believe I read that theras typically get tests more regularly as part of the business and so do PSP's that charge higher prices. But want to understand what's the norm
5. Any other big things that I'm missing aside from the basics such as always wear cd, be kind and respect boundaries, be on time, etc? Trying to avoid any "gotcha's"

Overall, looking to have a great time and treat those that I avail very very well. But wanted to make sure I'm being safe and making the right decisions! Thanks!
