Is just ONE bed sheet common in the Philippines?
I've never encountered this in my previous visits to the Philippines. But during this trip I stayed in two different hotels (one in Manila and one on Mactan Island, Cebu) which only had a bottom sheet over the mattress and no top sheet between that and the somewhat scratchy blanket. I had the audacity to ask for an additional sheet and after looking at me like I was crazy, they brought me another one. I was just wondering if this is common practice.
And along this same line, another hotel I stayed at in Cebu had both sheets, but the bottom sheet was two feet too short. My feet rested on the mattress pad, not on the bottom sheet! Is this common, too?

If you ask for an extra pillow they will furnish you with a local prostitute.

That is NOT common here. What is common is when a foreigner makes a simple request he is stared at (even more than usual) like he is crazy

No it is not. In fact, even at home, my beddings are of hotel standard.
You get what you pay for.
The better hotels have proper beddings. Like a mattress pad, topped with a fitted linen. And then a white linen with a blanket on top, so that the guest is in between two crisp linen sheets. Alternatively, you will find a duvet cover with a duvet inside the covers as this is warmer especially when the aircon is cooler. And there is a lot of pillows, actually a selection. I normally see 4 pillows plus throw pillows. On top of all these is the bed cover which is moved by Housekeeping in the early evening when they turn down the bed.
When you book a cheap no-star inn and pay a tenth of the cost of a decent hotel, you will get the beddings that you described. Exactly what you paid for.
