| I just looked for south seas in Palawan 2 weeks ago and there's not really much being sold there locally. I've seen south seas sold by the piece and it makes me think that these are being sneaked from the farms since the nacre is so thin. I even went to the market to check some golden south seas but didn't like the pearl surface of the lots that I saw, although the luster of some are really good.
I'm afraid that sellers in the Philippines will trying to raise the prices for foreigners twice or thrice compared to the prices they give the locals. But try to negotiate it down.
