Just wanted to say thanks to Fifty Fifty and X Man for your excellent suggestions.
I will do my best to follow your advice.
And if I forget to write a trip report afterwards, please feel free to send an abusive PM to 'remind' me!
Regards

PS If anybody else has got anything to add, I'd still appreciate it!
Agreed some cuties in Robinsons too and easy to make contact there.
Just sit at BO's Coffee Shop facing the entrance and scoop em up off the bench opposite or smile as they pass, it worked well for me a couple months ago. There is a greater chioce at SM though so quality is better if you are looking for a 7+ for free (who isnt??)
Yes that usually works too, hungry little things those LBFM's, they will almost always say yes to a free meal or a trip out and about.
Dont get trapped though, dump her in the evening and get another if variety is your style.
Standard Rules Apply : ExPat = Money = Fun
Just for the record I found Cebu a very safe place to be, reasonable Taxi Drivers and no real problems encountered.
However, there is a clique amongst the bar Girls of Vikings, BG, Eric the Red etc involving them having Minders (usually ladyBoys) who can exercise a bit of Control now and then. I stayed until closing one night and witnessed the girls in BG getting paid their LadyDrink Money and the (Lady)boyfriends on hand for their cut too. Actually we were drunk and didnt realise the time and things got a bit dodgy so we jumped a Taxi and left PDQ.
Often a Bar Girl will not be allowed to stay all day with you as she may have to ''serve'' the (Lady)boyfriend at some stage too, then there will be work again next evening.
If you do keep a bargirl day and night, you need to understand her night off work to stay with you will probably cost her at least the equivalent in a Barfine as a Penalty. This system is designed to stop them getting a good guy and disappearing for days on end, so be generous if she does stay.
If all else fails the McDs near to Regency Towers on Osmena is open 24 hours. You can often pick up a girl there after 4 am, she may be on her way home and stop to spend some of her ''just earned'' cash. Beware cos she could be as greasy or smelly as the hamburgers are ;) hence the need for having a good hotel with a nice hot shower 24/7 :)
Cheers. F/Fifty
I am here now. Speaking of malls. I was at SM. Decided on a Pizza so I sitting by myself eating the pizza. It is the fancy type place that is black Forget name. Anyway I see these 2 pretty hot girls. I stare them down. 3 minutes later they are next to me ordering sodas. Long story short got her back for a dirty afternoon type sessions.. excellent. She needed money for her papers so she says. Didn't have cell phone. So who knows. Then she stalked me for the night but I shook her off on someone else in Lobby.
The total non-pro sex session as soon as you meet I think is difficult so I think theses are working girls that are trolling the malls.
Overall Cebu is cool. Difficult to meet fellow mongers. Spread out and just not that many mongers. Getting some good quality at Mango.
The total non-pro sex session as soon as you meet I think is difficult so I think these are working girls that are trolling the malls.Correct , at least you are not kidding yourself.
Non pro's need patience and a bit of romance, but well worth it, in my opinion. Depends on your testosterone levels as to how much patience you have got. My levels aren't very high nowadays, thus I have more patience than younger guys. There are some advantages in being older, LOL.
Nice to see an objective report.

Thanks for your report
I have only possitive things about BG and Vikings last year.
Nice shows and 1700P barfine (girl+bar total).
If they dont return the next they then they have to pay a day barfine to the bar!
Negative is that the girl HAS to go with you even if she is not liking you or the long time. You payed all the money already at the moment of taking out so after around midnight wen you spend all the money on here she can start making problems(to go to her boyfriend indeed)
Maybe you are more the Silver Dollar type?
There you pay 700P barfine (only for the bar) and the girl makes the price for hereselfe.
If you take an ugly one (they have many with a babybelly at Silver Dollar) for ST she is cheaper, if you ask a pretty babe for whole night she is expensive (like 700P BF + 2500P girl). And for those prices they will stay whole night!
What I do? Always go to one and the same "little store" mamasan at Junquera street.
She knows me. I get a girl for whole night for 1000P.
If she has no nice girl she gets other girls from other mamasans.
Next day I tell here how I liked the girl and she kickes out the girl that is not worting good. Those girls will never steel from you otherwise they have big problems.
BTW , ALL , realy ALL the girls downtown on the street have to work for/pay to Mamasans. So be carefull as you take a girl from abroad to downtown.
My girl from abbroad was pulled on the hair until I payed 100P to a helping girl of a downtown mamasan. But you can take easely a downtown girl to any hotel in Cebu. no problem.
I had a few times a Jonquera girl who was even once in the glossy Waterfront Lahug hotel, imagin; a 25$ girl in a 250$ hotel.
In the US it is exactly countrary, 25$ hotel and 250$ for the (way way older)girl...

Ha, ha, Sxxx has the wisdom to pick up the reg girls...and is likely quite successful....but can find a p4p girl when the need arises.
Testosterone, my ass.

Hello,
Maybe you mongers can help me with some tips regarding "normal" vacationing in Cebu?
Me and a girl will fly over for a couple of days in May and have now idea what to do or where to go.
I have heard that the beaches are great, but where should we go and how do we get there?
Anything else we shouldn't miss out on while in Cebu?
Where should we stay? A touch of nightlife is a plus but not required.
Most grateful for any info!
Barba
Hello,
Where should we stay? A touch of nightlife is a plus but not required.I suggest to go to Kiwilodge, Barangay Mabolo. Comfortable and value for money i think. Guesthouse style, no Hilton. They have a website and you can book online: www.kiwilodge.org/
During my last visiy they were reconstructing part of the lodge, but it wasn't a real noise problem.
Many interesting places in Cebu, like Santo Nino Cathedral, Fort San Pedro, Carbon market, Ayala Mall.
Mactan Island (where the airport is situated) has nice beach resorts, but IMHO they are a bit expensive. (I am retired)
Enjoy,
hw1949
I will be in Cebu in July. As I won't be alone, I want to start some action in day time. I read the section, and right now Fifty Fifty gave some interesting facts and I would like to keep the track.
Where to find good girls in daytime? Are there good options for a hotel for like 2 hours? Are there any girls you can call and make an appointment at noon or so?
Sorry, I am new to this place of action, so I need your help. As you can see in the African section, I will give reports coming back.

Thanks a lot for the info. Both in the threads and PM:s. I now have a clue and a plan. LOL.
Where to find good girls in daytime?
Hello Labadi,
Yes I have read a few of your reports and will be glad to give you some info.
It is a pity you will be traveling with an escort because there is plenty of non and semi-pro action.
For something earlier in the day, head over to Finland Massage in the downtown core. There should be at least 10 girls in their fishbowl and getting extras is most definitely on the menu.
You could also try a casa.
To Barba:
Since you are b.y.o.b., maybe stay out on Mactan Island where there are numerous resorts on the water. Although the better beaches are elsewhere on Cebu, these resorts are close to the airport and a short ride from Lapu Lapu City where there is a mall and many bars and restaurants.
Barba, you don't give a budget, nor any preferences. Short advice is buy a guidebook.
I'll start by saying KiwiLodge is a good place for a single guy to shoot the shit with regulars and get info. It's also good for Western style food if that's what you need. I'm not sure why the other poster recommended it for you and your gal. He doesn't give specific info, but then neither do you.
You said a "couple" of days...so you might splurge by staying at the Marco Polo which is up the hill and has good views. If you find cheaper digs in the city, then I still recommend going up the hill for the sunset. Great views and the temperature will be a welcome relief this time of year.
Someone already suggested the Mactan resorts - which is less than an hour from the very large SM mall. So beach/ shopping...that should be enough to keep you happy for a bit.
St. Nino Church...Carbon Market..Fort Pedro...Magellen's cross are all worth a visit. There is also an old home - now museum - of a Bishop...can't remember the name. If interested, ask me and I'll look it up.
WHere are you coming from? How adventurous are you? Consider the 90 min "Ocean Jet" ride to Bohol, or taxi/ bus out to other beaches on Cebu.
I realize you're just planning and maybe don't have specifics...post back if you read something interesting and want more info.

Hey X Man and thanks also for your reply.
The plan is to head for water as soon as we land from the flight between Davao and Cebu. As you write; it's close to the beaches and the malls so it can't go wrong. Just two questions. Is Bohol worth the trip? Do you have any info on the jet? I would describe myself as very adventurous and well used to travel, but if it's just another exploited beach i'll just feel like i am waisting my time. I'd rather take a simple and un-/under-developed beach area than a fancy resort. The cost does not matter much, but I just like those simple places better.

Yes Bohol is very well worth the trip. Its MUCH nicer than the Cebu 'resorts'. Bohol is not a mongering destination but there are many fine local girls there if you feel like a little company.
AV
Barba, after my earlier "CEBU" post, and then reading on, I realized you are in Davao at the moment. Sorry for my "buy a guidebook" advice.
AV has somehow allowed himself to agree with me...- go to Bohol! I'd love to hear his advice about picking up locals and maybe any other useful information.... Unfortunately in other threads he disparages me by calling me a troll. Nice guy.
Anyway...
Ocean Jet:
http://www.oceanjet.net/
Click on "destinations", look for Cebu-Bohol. I think they run three times a day and it's only 90 min. Maybe another 30-40 min to take a taxi to a beach. Most foreigners go to Panglao, but there are other places.
I will not say that Alona beach is unexploited, but certainly more laid back than Borocay and enough white sand for the ultimate beach experience. And there are plenty of other places on Bohol that are more rustic.
You will get pestered by people boating or chocolate hills tours. Choco hills seemed like a long drive... The river cruise was nice.
Can you fly from Davao to Tagbiliran, Bohol? I don't know.
Sorry for the smallish pictures attached. Since I posted them earlier, I had to change them in order to get ISG to accept them...I just hit resize.
The hotel was ISIS, the beach was Alona.

// Begin noise filter.. AV ... agree with me...- go to Bohol!

Otherwise when in Cebu or Tagbiliran just look around. Its easy to find chicks to come with you. I have a GF called Irish from Tagbiliran that i picked on CB a long time ago, we stay in touch & she is always available to be my companion when Im in the area. She is the loveliest natured girl. She is not P4P and costs nothing more than food/drink/accommodation/gifts. Guys, you dont need to spend a fortune on hookers here. There are lots of really nice girls available to you.

I agree with X, its less developed (but heading that way).
Chocolate Hills is worth a trip if you have time.

Greetings gentlemen, the spamhog has returned from his almost year long sabatical building the spam palace in lovely downtown Philippines, ready to dole out advice, support, amusing stories and assist my fellow sexual swashbucklers in the never ending quest of lovely dark skinned pulnichitude and erotic times.
I have infrequently answered my private messages due to the erratic nature of my attendance in local internet cafe's and my pre occupation with being chief arhitect, foreman and handy man and head ass kicker in charge, I do apologize to those of you whose messages went unaswered or delayed. I did stay in touch with a few board members and have had a few get togethers tried introducing young ladies to horny lads but not much success from those liaisons...but I hope to reestablish my presence having just received wireless hookup and am going ape shit once again on the internet.
Okay....Mongering...well I haven't done such being married but I still see and hear many a thing, something I have noticed is that many "pick up" girls, who once roamed the malls looking for live ones (Thats you) changed their M.O somewhat. I see more of them hanging out at coffee shops where foreigners gather, sitting down, breaking out the cell phones and sipping a regular all day while waiting for a visiting Romeo who just plundered the ATM. Most evident of the pack is one whom I term "The black Dahlia" a VERY dark skinned lass, tall and somewhat well dressed, she hangs out at the coffee place ground floor in Robinsons, the one near the stairs constantly on that cell phone and looks up every now and then to smile at ugly bald guys like myself.
I hope to publish a trip report to Moalboal that me and Mrs Spamhog took before xmas.

I suggest you check out several smaller resorts on Mactan, there are a few that the Koreans like to go to that are priced right and you can have a decent day, some even have a few activities like jet ski, parasail, snorkeling, etc. I think its blue water resort or something, don't remember, lots of koreans though. Close by there is an all you can eat Filipino buffet, they put on a show, native dancing and all, they advertise in the papers and on TV, once again my lousey memory for names....
Another place for daytime tours is the Taoist temple, great views overlooking Cebu. Nightlife is varied if you want to take your lady out dancing I suggest the sunflower, lot of couples as well as a pick up place, also ratsky's which is more upscale and inside Ayala mall.
Don't forget Casino Filipino in the waterfront, once in awhile I like to get all dressed up and take Mrs Spamhog there, give her P2,000 and let her play the slots while I sip a red wine and watch the action,(I'm not much of a gambler)
but I enjoy the drama of a bunch of Japanese throwing yen down on chinese pai gow.
I also suggest a trip to Santo Nino Bascillica, your Filipina will enjoy it and if you like history and Spanish architecture it can be an intersting experience,
Spamhog
Spent the day with a Cebuana Nurse sex was not on the menu as it was our first time meeting. Also how charming this lady is I would feel guilty fucking her and bailing. Don't know if she is a virgin though. She took me around Cebu and told me typical Filipino stories about the "struggle" and her dreams I took photos of landmarks and enjoyed myself to fullest. On another note Cebu looks clean as hell compared to the dust bowl Manila.
Very Very Nice Lady
There are a few sights to see on Bohol and the boat trip is fun but I wouldn't recommend more than a daytrip. Panglao beach was noisy and full of tourists. I prefer to go where the filipinos are. If you do want to go to Bohol I would go before they start work on the airport.

It's good to know you are back up & dispensing info again. I look forward to reading your observations.
I just got back to California 2 weeks ago after 5 months in the Cebu area, with one short side trip to Singapore & Bali, & I'm playing catch-up here in the USA. I hope to be back in Cebu in August for a short visit.
I went barhopping a few times, but as I had my sweetie stuck on like a barnacle, my good times were limited to ogling, laughing, drinking, & a few discreet feels for old times sake. Went to Egypt one Saturday night & they had a very funky live band & it's great to hear *****house music in a Bikini bar. A few days before I left, my other sweetie mis-texted me & told me how much she missed me in Visaya-
I got a CT scan at Chong Hua Hospital, to follow up on me cardiac bypass surgery that I had 4 years ago at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok- Everything seems to be OK- except for my back & lungs
I got my boat in the water- A banca style boat built almost 20 years ago by an american in Carmen, Cebu. We made 5 roundtrips to Camotes Island (32 miles from Mactan Island)- It's a beautiful way to travel in the Philippines- no trikes, no jeepneys, no chickes in the road- etc.
I'm building a house in Camotes, by the water- I pretty much stopped building in Mactan, for lack of money & energy-
I'm at a dial-up connection this week, but I'll try to upload some pictures when I get a faster line-
Regards to all- 'Don'

Welcome back.
I recently gave some info on Bohol, and I should say it was with SH's excellent advice and encouragement I made my first visit to Bohol. He even directed me to a good shop selling masks/snorkels...
Will be looking forward to your Moalboal review -- a place I've never made it to.
As for building the house, will we get a synopsis of that -- or are you saving that for book form?

Barba,
You can go bowling at SM mall. There's also swimming at a high school pool on Osmena, near Sanciangko.
The arcade at Ayala is a blast.
Hadsan is a decent beach trip from Cebu City --it's a reasonably priced beach frequented by Filipinos.
One night I caught a full-contact kickboxing match at the Araneta Colliseum in Colon.
Where do I begin? In short Cebu is the shit in layman terms. Hit the main club area up town. Went in a couple of bars and was swarmed by the brown beauties. Asking all the typical questions like where I was staying trying gauge my wallet size when that was measured most was ready to go screw.
I picked one Filipina 20 year old with the best set of flashing lights I have seen on a Filipina anywhere. When we got back to room she was nervous as a Democrat at Republican rally flush face beating heart the whole nine. She also was afraid to do the deed after I dropped the shorts saying she would suck me off instead after seeing what I was working with. I told her that was not acceptful after the excessive bar fine price. I also told her if she performed well I would give her a small tip.
The performance...for a 20 year old she sure know how to suck a dick.. wow. The pussy was tight as a virgin ass hole. After the first time she whimpered and took her time cowgirl style but after that she came back for more and I took her over and over again.
Cebu will definitely see my pesos again....

My guide book described the Nalusuan island Marine Sanctuary and Resort as a good alternative for the nature lover. Any experience?
I believe I went to this island. I am a pure amateur in regards to snorkeling, but it wasn't bad. There were some colorful fish there. There were people diving out there, but I'm not trained so can't tell you what's up. I will say this, I read about this island and was thinking wow. They talk it up real good. The island is real real small. I don't recommend staying there. There will be nothing to do at night. Did I say how small this island was? Anyway, I went with this girl and had to pay for a boat to get out there and back. It wasn't cheap, it was from the island resort at Nalusan. There were mostly Korean tourists there, lots of them. I might have gone on a Saturday. I wouldn't do it again. I have to think there are better places to go, but remember I am an amateur snorkeler and I don't dive. They charge you for everything there. I think it's more tourist trap than anything.
Just thought I'd add a few things to the excellent info on Bohol...like how to get there.
Got to get a tickee from the jet boat, which you can do at most any outlet in all the major malls like Ayala. Sm or Robinsons. Around 350 one way several departures during the day for the pleasant one hour plus trip. Catch the boat at pier one, unless they changed it again to pier four. Mr Daddy in Law has been doing some finish work on the Spam shack and I gave him a round tip
tick to go see some long lost relatives in Bohol. Daddy brought back two
lovelies. One a 17 year old (I know, too damn young) but she'll be ready this summer after her birthday to work as a Catulong (helper) for a neighbor, she got this cute little cartoon voice so I call her minnie mouse. The other is actually 18 and was working downtown cleaning up and minding another relatives store.
I introduced this one to one of the guys on this forum and his partner (not a forum member) took her out, guy had to go back to the us the next day... nothing happened, this one doesn't speak much english and is real shy so there was a communication problem. I think she went back to Bohol
From what i understand Bohol is growing by leaps and bounds as more foreigners settle on the island, there are a few night spots springing up near panglao beach so this should attract local ladies.
As for a post on building the spam palace, I was thinking abiout that but I mean it isn't monger related, maybe leaving in the phils, after all it might serve as a guide for anybody planning to build

Hi Guys,
I just finished my first trip to Cebu and thought I would share some information.
I was there to meet a girl I had met on DIA and have been chatting to for around 6 months. SHe took most of the time off work so I didn't have a lot of chances to get out to play but the last couple of days I was a free man.
I stayed in the Crown Regency on Fuente. It is still in the building process but some of the floors are open and is a very nice hotel. Rates vary depending on where you look on the net I was lucky enough to pay on $50 a night through Asiarooms but you can put up to $130 for the same room elsewhere so look around.
Hotel was very girl friendly, there were a few guys there bringing in different girls multiple times a day and no one batted an eye lid.
I also tipped housekeeping 500P on the first day with a note I would do the same on the last (and I did) and the room was alwasy perfect, nothing missing etc.
Because of my limited alone time only a couple of quick pickups possible.
First night alone I was just sitting outside of Starbucks (part of the hotel) and two very nice young ladies walkign past smiled. I just waved them over and offered to buy them a coffee. We drank our coffees/drinks and within 30 minutes were in my room.
One claimed to be cherry so most action was with the other while her friend mainly layed next to us and made good with her hands and mouth. The non cherry girl was very expert at her craft. 2 hours and all 3 wholes later I was done and sent them on their way. I gave them 2500 between them and they were very happy with that.
Second night alone I went to Silver Dollar, right near the hotel. Was swarmed on very quickly and actually picked one of the least attractive girls in the place. I have never been that hung up on looks anyway and it is my experience is the plain girls are most often the best.
We had a couple of drinks, she and her friend let their fingers do the walking the whole time and ha dno problems with me doing the same. She asked me to barfine her but I really wasnt interested in that and I had told her that when she first joined me.
I had told her that I just wanted a couple of drinks and some company, nothing more. AFter I said I wasnt interested she offered a BJ at the bar but we had to be careful that the boss did not see. With a little manouvering we managed to complete the deed right at the end of the bar near the front door.
Another drink later and I was ready for her friend. This time though we actually managed to have sex right there, with people at the bar thinking we were just simulating. Its actually quite hard to have sex while trying to look like you are simulating sex. But it is possible.
SO all up for the night I spent around 1000 pesos on drinks, and tips. And another 500 each for my bar side good time.
They were happy. Never had to leave the bar. I was happy low cost and no barfine.
BTW. The girl I met on DIA. Wonderful. She works, never asked for a cent and is a real prize. I am heading back to see her in a few months.

Good on ya C Buster, glad to see someone has some perspective. Everytime someone pays more than usual there is a big flap. How many time have we heard, "you'll ruin it for the rest of us".
Yet we see guys in the bars buying drinks for five women. They are getting an ego boost, the girls are happy, the bar owners is happy, but that is four women that aren't available for other customers. I never hear anyone complain about THAT!
XBeen away from ISG for a while but while reading a few pages back.
I came across this post by X Man. It really does make a lot of sense.

Owners are on the run apparently, then fire, so should people be talking about Vikings as an option nowadays?
Went there once many years ago. Will not be going there again, but some guys might like to know if its in or out of business nowadays. If owners on the run then does that mean BG Bikini Bar and maybe one other are also non functional?
Any GoGo phile in cebu right now know what the actual situation is?Where did you get the info that the owners of Viking, BG's, Erics, Next door are on the run?

I stayed in the Crown Regency on Fuente. ....
Hotel was very girl friendly, there were a few guys there bringing in different girls multiple times a day and no one batted an eye lid.
I also tipped housekeeping 500P on the first day with a note I would do the same on the last (and I did) and the room was alwasy perfect, nothing missing etc.
Hi nice report, good action, and sounds like you had fun.
As for the Crown Regency on Fuente, I stayed there in Feb/March having booked double occupancy via Asiatravel.com and my wingman and I got very good rooms for $52 per night with 2 breakfasts etc.
The hotel was not so GF then, despite the usual advance tipping etc that I had been careful to do. So maybe they have had a Policy Change?
First night I got back at around midnight with a nice little catch from Vikings, I was told by Reception Staff that not only did my girl have to complete a Full Registration Form and surrender her ID, but I would be charged an extra 1200 PHP for the priviledge. My arguments were suppressed at that time due to the late hour and not wanting to cause the girl any further embarassment.
My mate had also suffered the same fate about an hour earlier and SMSd to warn me in advance.
However we took it up with the Manager next day and argued that we had booked ''Double Occupancy'' and was therefore entitled to have 2 persons in each room for the rate we had paid. He agreed and the extra 1200 charge was removed from the account.
Subsequent nights the Registration and ID Routine was the same for every girl (even when I took back a repeat offender, whose details they already had) and the Staff gave us the 1200 B/S every time, they wondered why we smiled and told them that we didnt care cos we didnt have to pay it.
If they have indeed changed then I will go back, as you say, it is a very good hotel for the money.
Cheers, F/Fifty

So maybe they have had a Policy Change?Yeah I booked double but only registered in my name, my GF was even there when i checked in and asked for nothing from her. Towards the end of my stay when she was working she would come and go and all hours with no problems.
Also never questioned me with the other girls etc.
I guess they must have changed or maybe just my lovable personality.
I am going to stay at the Crown Regency on Matcan Next time. Easier for my GF and I found the city a little hard on thelungs after a week. Any one had experience there.

Where did you get the info that the owners of Viking, BG's, Erics, Next door are on the run?Your referring to a post 8 weeks ago.
Prior to that post of mine , I read about Filipina owner and European partner being on the run in the Sun Star. Same paper you quoted about Jonquerra etc , time before.
I dont know if Viking mob are still on the run , apprehended or what , and really don't care , lol.
As far as I can gather from ISG , the place is still functional , so maybe the owner greased some palms.
Recently I paid a visit to Liza's Sea Fun Pub , and that was much better than the Mango type Bars , Vikings included.
I am waiting for my mate BornLoser to visit Liza's and give it his rating , lol.
Good to have you back here on ISG !
I trust you have the 'Spam Shack' dialed in and can now kick back for a while!
Give my regards to the Mrs. and look forward to seeing you soon!
Recently I paid a visit to Lisa's Sea Fun Pub , and that was much better than the Mango type Bars , Vikings included.
While we are waiting for BL to make it to Lisa's, how about filing a short review on your assesment of the bar? Thanks
Re Mattricks query , previous post.
I have corrected my spelling error , its Liza's , not Lisa's.
Well , no change to what I previously posted some weeks back , that is , I concur with what my friend said of Liza's.
Hard to find , check previous posts for what I consider clear instructions , taken from Liza's calling card. Management will call for a taxi , when its time to leave. Not recommended to walk away from the place at night.
Enter driveway behind high wall. Nice garden surrounds. House look about entrance and building.
Once inside , nice furnishings , decorations and ambience , think I arrived 9pm , someone else said too quiet 5pm. Apparently closed on Sundays. Opens early afternoon but as I said before re Liza's , the 6's and 7's do not have to work long hours , they most probably start around 8pm. They were there at 9pm anyway.
It was a Friday night , and guess there were about thirty to forty girls there , in evening gowns, very demure , laid back. No hustle for me. Only four or five other guys there. Decor nice and refreshingly different. Music as commented on previous post , just right for me , 1980's etc. Not excessively loud either. Beer relatively cheap , around P45 , Ladies Drinks not so cheap , around P100 possibly P150 , only bought one or two.
Girls do not behave cheekily like in GoGo Bars. They sit back and mind their own business , in the main. You approach , they join you , and conduct themselves in a very lady like manner. My experience anyway. Maybe they are respecting my old age and infirmity , lol.
It's nice being surrounded by 30/40 pretty girls in evening gowns, no pressure , pushiness , music that reminds me of the good old days and cheap beer.
There seems to be a room or two designed for a bit of groping , not sure. Possibly a pool table there too. Not clear on that. Plenty of space at Liza's , not small.
Did not barfine anyone myself , but believe not over the top , total cost in range of P1500 to 2000. For sure you could secretly pass your cell phone number and cut that down to P1000 daylight saving.
It's more of a sophisticated experience , but not overly so. Only problem , with those evening gowns , your never sure what's underneath , lol.
For sure , you will have a pleasant beer or two there , especially if you like more civilised places , civilised compared to typical GoGo Bars , that is.
Have a look at Club Harem whilst your out that way , some dolls there , a strip club of sorts. Much more expensive that Liza's , but at least you can see Harem girls bodies , including a flash of their pussy , if your quick.
On entering Harem and walking up stairway , ask door host to show you the girls. Full team is sitting behind a glass window. Curtain drawn back to expose the lovelies. Some 8's and possibly a 9. Ask prices before ordering anything. Tourist types get ripped off here , and also you , if your not careful.

I went to Liza's for the first time about 3 weeks ago, I like the joint, very relaxing and friendly, no pressure no dancing no loud music. I did not take a girl from there but the barfine is 1500 peso. Had one girl very interested in me but, I wanted to look around.
I when back the second night and the girl who liked me was in the new Karaoke rooms up stairs with some customers, but came back down to see me after they left. She was disappointed I decided not to barfine her on the second night ( told her I was going barhopping). She gave me the your going to fuck someone else look. Maybe I should have barfine her, don't know.
As for the dresses I don't like them, open at the back just enough material to cover their arses and lose at the front so you don't really know how big their tummies really are.
Had a look around Mango, ended up in Lone Star, one girl came up and sat on my lap, both bartenders came and asked me to buy her a ladies drink I said no to both of them but the girl stayed only getting up for her turn on the stage. I was quoted 650 for the bar and 2000 for the girl but I declined and left after one drink.
The young girl I fucked in Cebu a couple of nights ago is asking for help to get back to get back Manila. She says she can't handle the bar work and went to Cebu because no one would know her there. I would like to sample her goods again.
Any Thoughts....
Wow thanks Bob and Joking, two for the price of one!
Will have to check the place out since it is not your average bar.
Will file a FR once I visit.
To D Etat :
If she is a bar girl, I would give her a miss.
But a regular filipina maybe.
As they say: "Up to you"

Trust your instincts & keep it in perspective.
I suspect she is telling the truth, but I always err on the side of generosity unless i have good reason to suspect a lie. Other people here will be quick to condemn me & call me a soft touch. Personally I do what I think is right.
You stand to gain a little Karma & possibly a GF if you do. You stand to lose a pittance in relative money terms & maybe a small amount of self respect if you don't.
One final thought : getting involved with a BG (or ex BG in this case) could be messy...

AV She asking for about 3000PHP less then what I spent at Pegasus and I didn't fuck no one from there was not trying either but had a good time never the less anyway just wanted to see what will be said on this matter. I will help her. On the flip slide if she runs off with the money then it is what is. Not looking to make a girl friend.. have a good one of those already far more intelligent and far more prettier then most of the girls I have encountered here in this country but as they say variety is the spice of life. Not to mention after getting past the ice she was a good fuck.

Yes she is a bar girl but by far probably the most naive and not cut out for it one I have ever came across. I know a scammer when I see and one. One thing I do know is you can not fake true fear. She came in my room and played around around until I made a move. I had to tell her repeatedly to relax. I thought the poor girl was going to faint....

If she is only asking for a way back to Manila then buy her a plane ticket and drop her off at the airport, better yet buy her a ferry ticket, that's how the AC girls travel home. If you just give her the money you can't be sure what she will do with it.
But if you add it all up plane ticket 2000 peso, departure tax 600? (sorry I forget). Bus/Taxi home, maybe 3000 is about right to see her home. Up to you.

Thanks for the help.Having had a search around it looks like that rate would be very hard to beat given the quality of service on offer.
Also consider Richmond Plaza, same owners, offering Standard Room, Double Occupancy, inc 2 x Breakfasts for 1,100 PHP per night.
If you want to be a real cheapskate you can reduce it by 100 PHP per night for single occupancy ;)
Looks like a good deal.

Thanks for the help.I think the guy goes as Calico something or other. Dont wanna give out his real name or particulars Guy just left CEBU and should be back home by now. He stays at a place for around P25K I forget what the name of it is.
You aren't going to get much cheaper than P25 K a month in Cebu for a long term, you might try some of the Pensionne's but they are kinda ratty imho.

You have posted this basic question in three different forums. Start reading from about 6 months ago and read forward. People on ISG are very willing to help with specific questions but hate repeating the same thing over and over.
Slim
First, Cebu could mean the city or the island. I'll assume you mean the city. Your airplane (assuming) will arrive on Mactan island and that is where you will find some beaches.
As others have already suggested, you need to rtff, or give a more specific question.

Question for all of you I am a first timer at DIA and never been to cherry blossom or any other dating site. So far I have found most of the girls are from southern part of Phlippines or Cebu and usually they are scammers wanting you to send them money for hospital or webcam etc. Etc. And if they are not scamming they do not look like there picture they posted on DIA (after seeing them on webcam). What the deal?
What is your secret to DIA? Maybe my standards are to high and all the good looking ones are scammers? I don't know can someone enlighten me?
Maybe should I ask this question at the chat section of the board? But it seems like most of the girls are either from southern part of Phlippines or Cebu so I thought I would post this here and in Cebu forum. Sorry if I am post at the wrong forum. Also this and the Cebu forum has more activity so more likely to get an answer.
Thank you guys!
This report is dated, done before Xmas so caveat. Decided to put this under CEBU for a coupla reasons, primarily as you will likely have to go thru Cebu to reach Moalboal. Here are two links to help you
www.cebu-province.com
www.moalboal.org.uk.com
The later has a decent map. My suggestion is to take the AC bus leaving from Cebu's CITY LINK, cost ya less than P100. Figure on 2 hrs.
I drove down, took me an Hour and twenty with one stop. The area between
Car Car S. of Cebu and Barili is senic indeed with limestone cliffs and great views especially of the Tanon straight. Two places I will mention. Quo Vadis Hotel and Hannah's place resturaunt, Stayed at Quo Vadis for P1400 a night
no cable but a great pool, they run dive excursions out of the place but we stayed there also coz of the proximity to the much ballyhooed Paulitas Disco and I wanted to report on mongering for the brethern.
Spent most of the day in the pool with Mrs Spamhog, we learned that Paulitas was closed on Fridays and opened only ON SATURDAYS. So we decided to hit Hannahs place, mainly for me to sample the food.
Great food, nice views of the bay and beach. While I'm eating I saw three
ladies, hanging around probably looking for a live one, but the Boss snarled a few times and they moved on, I noticed that they hovered around, hanging
on the beach but eyeing the traffic near Hannahs.
After the meal we checked out the stroll, collection of bars resturaunts, nothing real great. Saw one open air bar that had potential for mongering. A few Foreigner/Filipina couples who looked permanent. Noticed a few unattached ladies here and there but nothing spectaculare.
In part two Spamhog rates Paulitas Disco.
Spamhog
We had made freinds with a few people, one was a Filipina/Cano pair, the lady was a local and returned from the US to escape the cold weather and visit relatives. gave us a lot of skinny on the place. The other was a guy
staying next to us, he was there alone, first timer to the PI...no idea why he came to Moalboal he wanted to score so I had gave this guy a crash coarse of my mongering experience. Told him to join us at the Disco Saturday we would help.
Paulitas opens late on a Saturday and ONLY on Saturday. Apparently the locals come from miles around. Our vacation couple friend told us that some of the folks were sort of low lifes, a few years back there were lots of gang fights and such but with the advent rise in tourism their act has cleaned up...somewhat. Walked to the place from our hotel and noticed all the lone males hanging around outside, I was later to learn that these guys bring their GF's here hoping to have them earn a bit of change banging foreigners.
Met out cherry boy, he was on his third beer, sitting alone and saving a nice table for us. They had a DJ playing the usual mix of funk and rock the Fils love. Saw LOTS of girls, none were very pretty, local ladies mostly trying to look sexy in Baratillio jeans and T tight shirts. Saw a few giving "the look" I nudged our new pal and told him how to follow up...guy was too shy or too afraid.
I also noticed several small troupes of Transvestites hanging around. We stayed there until 2 am, Cherry never made a move on a girl, so he probably went home alone. We left decided to find a resturaunt open. Noticed a few more ladies hanging around including the three beach combers from the previous night.
All in all, Moalboal was a nice getaway for me and the wife. I would rate its mongering potential low, a few ladies around but not much selection. Best bet is to Bring your own.
The place is seasonal, most of the tourists from Germany and UK arrive in April and June, otherwise the place is dead...this acocrding to a local (Expat)
I made friends with.
Good luck
Spamhog
My first attempt at posting photos on the board hope they come out Okay.
They are of the Quo vadis Hotel (featuring the pool) and the views of Pescador Island plus the senic little town of Barili
(sorry to disappoint, no girls...Mrs Spamhog will not allow me to post her
Bikini pics (HAH!)
What is your secret to DIA? Maybe my standards are to high and all the good looking ones are scammers? I don't know can someone enlighten me?
Thank you guys!Imho Filipinas are used to ask money from foreigners; in their eyes we all are millionaires (in pesos this can be true! ). Just tell them you will not give them money without meeting them in person, that's a good selection criterium. Most scammers will leave you alone then. Anyway you can block them in messenger and mail programs.
Because I am retired I am not looking at girls aged between 25 and 40. Above the magic frontier of 40 there are less scammers, but the drawback there is that these mostly women want marriage. Even when they are separated after an unhappy marriage lasting many years. Culture.

North terminal takes you to Malapasqua and Dan Bantayan, closer to SM.

The girl I asked about who wanted money to get back to Manila a couple of post ago this is the update.
That night She said she only wanted to suck me off as one man was allowed to vaginally penetrate her. I asked where was this one guy? She said in Japan. Surfing around her friendster page I found out she is married wow. I had to pay her extra money to sample the goods Thought it was an marketing strategy but now not so sure. She performed like champ with whimpering then wanted to stay with me. Is this marriage PI style?
She said she came to Cebu to work in the bar as no one would know her. I sent the money and she came back to Manila the day I left to go recharge my own piggy bank in Dubai. She was a excellant in bed with the tightest snatch her husband must be proud.
Check the photo gallery for new pics.

Should me more of them.
Marriage in Name only. Typical PI marriage, husband or wife is OFW. Husband and wife see each other once every three years. The very first Filipina I met (Taiwan) maaannnny years ago was married, I found out thru brilliant detective work she no amatuer at hiding it either, false passport, numerous alias' etc.
You see examples like the one Etat quotes alot, typical situation hubby is overseas, probably doesn't send money (Or not enough. Hell, its NEVER enough. Spends it on HIS numerous GF's. Wifey gets mad and goes looking for foreigner to pay the bills. Some of them end up in a bar I suppose but most freelance on the Inet, web cam girls etc.

Does anybody know if any of the upscale resorts around cebu city will let you use there pool if not staying at the resort. Lets say if you were to buy drinks at the pool bar? I will be there a month or more I'm staying at the richmond condotel any suggestions? How about the city gym at the waterfront hotel area does anybody know any thing about this place?
Thanks
I've gone to a nicer Mactan resort to use the pool/beach, but there was a day charge. Something like 500 pesos per person -- and then you still spend money on overpriced food and drinks.
I suspect you could slip into the pool at Waterfront. I've had drinks poolside and it doesn't appear that they make any efforts to find out if you are staying there. But I never got into the pool, nor used their gym -- so I'm not sure.
I recommend you send them an email and ask about their policy.

Does anybody know if any of the upscale resorts around cebu city will let you use there pool if not staying at the resort. Lets say if you were to buy drinks at the pool bar? I will be there a month or more I'm staying at the richmond condotel any suggestions? How about the city gym at the waterfront hotel area does anybody know any thing about this place?
Thanks

I have used the facilities at the Waterfront and they are second to none, especially the health suite, but I was a guest of a paying member. One thing I will say is that the drinks are extremely expensive, I was charged (sorry they attempted to charge) me 400 pesos for one orange juice. Even though this is probably one of the best hotels in Cebu (in my humble opinion), a few rounds of drinks will come to the price of a mid range hotel for the night.

Most Mactan resorts charge 500P per head to use their facilities, although if you say you are going to book dive trips, rent jetskis etc sometimes you can avoid that charge. But if you go out that far why not just swim in the Sea?
In town, Waterfront pool is tops but access might be more difficult. Marriott pool has a separate entrance (along pathway to Ayala Center) which is sometimes unlocked and unguarded. Most midrange hotels seem to lack a pool which is a bit odd.

Lacking ANY interest in kareoke, I avoid those places like the plague. But after forcing my GF and her sister to watch a few dancers at Temptations, they wanted to sing and I recalled Love City KTV's sign just across the street from the Viking. As we entered (about midnight on a Friday), there were two girls clad only in panties engaged in what looked like a very sexy show. The place was PACKED. As much as I wanted to sit down and watch, not wanting to push my luck with my honeyko I asked the papasan about kareoke rooms. He said 1500 minimum consumption (a HUGE ripoff, but to please my mahal I will do most anything), led us to a kareoke room and showed the girls how to operate the machine. There was a two way mirror in back with a small dance chamber with mirrorball and a couple girls passed through it.
So we order 2 margaritas and a screwdiver (total=500P so I am thinking 3 rounds of drinks to meet the 1500). So after they sing a few songs they bring the drinks and a 300Piso shot of tequilla. I say I did not order that and declined to sign the slip showing 800P of consumption. The manager was summoned and gave me some BS about "for the mamasan to get a commission" or some such and I said "sorry I did not agree and do not agree".
He got snippy and said "pay your bill then". To me, this was manna from heaven as the girls got the kareoke out of their system and it only cost me 500P! Best of all we got to leave (though would not have minded staying to watch the bold show)

Most people talk about just taking a taxi and letting girls come to you with their annoying little pimps on Jonquera. How do you enter these places. I think they're set pretty far off the road if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure I'd want to be walking around that area by myself in the dark, in fact I'm sure.
P1000 sounds like a lot, really a lot for Jonquera. I thought it was more like P500. Maybe it's all nickles and pennies at these prices, but I'd rather pay p500 there. Otherwise the "premium" you get for just p1500 on mango is 100% worth it.
I never paid more than p1500 on mango last year, inclusive of BF and tip. That was short time I guess.
Thanks for your report
I have only possitive things about BG and Vikings last year.
Nice shows and 1700P barfine (girl+bar total).
If they dont return the next they then they have to pay a day barfine to the bar!
Negative is that the girl HAS to go with you even if she is not liking you or the long time. You payed all the money already at the moment of taking out so after around midnight wen you spend all the money on here she can start making problems(to go to her boyfriend indeed)
Maybe you are more the Silver Dollar type?
There you pay 700P barfine (only for the bar) and the girl makes the price for hereselfe.
If you take an ugly one (they have many with a babybelly at Silver Dollar) for ST she is cheaper, if you ask a pretty babe for whole night she is expensive (like 700P BF + 2500P girl). And for those prices they will stay whole night!
What I do? Always go to one and the same "little store" mamasan at Junquera street.
She knows me. I get a girl for whole night for 1000P.
If she has no nice girl she gets other girls from other mamasans.
Next day I tell here how I liked the girl and she kickes out the girl that is not worting good. Those girls will never steel from you otherwise they have big problems.
BTW , ALL , realy ALL the girls downtown on the street have to work for/pay to Mamasans. So be carefull as you take a girl from abroad to downtown.
My girl from abbroad was pulled on the hair until I payed 100P to a helping girl of a downtown mamasan. But you can take easely a downtown girl to any hotel in Cebu. no problem.
I had a few times a Jonquera girl who was even once in the glossy Waterfront Lahug hotel, imagin; a 25$ girl in a 250$ hotel.
In the US it is exactly countrary, 25$ hotel and 250$ for the (way way older)girl...

Hello WL,
My local friends usually pay around 700p these days. Recently I have paid over 1000p but it was in a different locale nearby called Bonifacio Camagayan Jakusalem. Most of the women there are students and will stay at least 8 hours and sometimes 12. Will file a FR on this area soon!
Mango Avenue bars are charging and getting upwards of 2000p this year. Since the majority of the customers are tourists, they will gladly pay whatever it takes to bf a girl.
Anyone have anything to report on this place? Heard some rumors it was resurfacing.
Anyone have anything to report on this place? Heard some rumors it was resurfacing.In your dreams I would say.
This rumour was spread before and I personally inspected the place where it used to reside and where it was supposed to be renewed and found the rumour a lot of bullshit. Naturally, LOL. And reported same on these pages.
For sure, a Club Circus as in days of old is sadly needed.
Sunflower is useless nowadays, Pump can be all Korean some nights, and for young guys only, on the odd occasion it does have filipinas there. Admittedly my Pump Cardinal Reyes research, stretches only over about five visits. Other Pump, in Mango, complete dud, only night I went there.
There is a need for a workers pick up disco as Club Circus was in days of old. Eighty per cent nice looking hookers, 10/20% nice girls wanting to be corrupted. Lovely pickings. And waitresses in tiny pleated min skirts, buzzing around on roller skates, tray full of beers. Them were the days. Early 1980's and beyond.
It's just a dream. Couldn't possibly happen again, could it?

Would agree that Sunflower is useless. Was tehre in March and if was not for the company of 3 lovelies (two of whiich I later enjoyed) I would have left immediately. Band was good though and grinding with 18 and 19 year old cuties does make your judgement somewhat suspect :D

i've been reading on another board about some clubs in cebu being busted for providing **** girls. was leaning toward a trip to cebu sometime over the next few months as my first visit to the phils but now....
anyone got any info on this?
Would agree that Sunflower is useless.
Well not completely because the night to go is Thursday night (ladies night). Yes the club needs a makeover and the same two bands are getting stale but there are still many women to be had on the Thursday I was there recently. Will file a report soon.
To Gaijin Gigolo:
No reason to fret GG, come on down to Cebu! Visited the club in question a few weeks ago and it was business as usual !!
I've never tried to pick up a woman at Sunflower disco, but always had a good time when I went there. I've never gone their unaccompanied.
Once I went with a former EDSA go-go girl. Damn! She owned that dance floor.
Once I went there and saw the SpamHog shaking his booty on the dance floor with his pretty lady.
My biggest complaint is that the beer is sometimes too warm.
Of course maybe the place has far fewer customers now that PUMP is in business.

XI was there about 9 months ago. Many, many hot woman inside. I was with my girlfriend at the time, so I did not note the p4p action.
I would like to try there again with out a date.
It looked busy the other night, I ate next door at the Italian Restaurnt

I have been to Sunflower a few times and my BIGGEST complaint is they play the music TOOO loud. You try to talk to your girl or a new one you just met and you have to shout in each other's ear to be heard. Not conducive to a romantic evening in my view. I have quit going there just for that reason
Yes, good point -- the volume is loud. I usually try to sit toward the back...as I also do at Ratskys. But, I don't know why you would expect a "romantic evening" at a disco.
Hey, that might be a good future topic. Where to go (with a regular girl) for a romantic mood?
Maybe TOPS for sunset and then a nice restaurant somewhere on the mountain?

“Was it not real, was it not like in the old days.”Hi Billspu
As reported some time ago , research revealed neither Club Circus nor anything like club circus was there. After my friend had researched it , I went up and checked it out and found similar. Sorry realize now , didnt put my personal findings online back then , cause my findings were much same as friends.
To cut a long story short , here is the old post late 2006 :
"Club Circus is Jive now
My close friend checked out Club Circus couple of days ago. Now I am talking about the one and only club circus been there since noahs ark , its up on a hill , nothing to do with mango anything. I am talking about that club circus on lahug hill.
Its name is now Jive and at 11pm it was empty said friend and too upmarket for the kind of freelancers we used to meet at old club circus. There is a slight chance that someone has started up a Club Circus at Mango whatever , that is a chance and I hope it is so because Jive will not jive with the freelance girls , P150 entrance , owners trying to attract a different clientele , reportedly very nice interior by the way.
My friend said 'club circus' to taxi driver and he headed up the hill where thousands of taxi drivers have done so years before , he didnt head any where near mango thingo. So lets know fellas if there really is a new club circus NOT on the hill . Then it might be good news cause Jive on the hill isnt gonna do it."
Billspu :
So is it resurfacing now , like an active volcano ?
It's about 19 months since the original rumour surfaced.
Can you or someone else climb the Mount , and pray tell us , our dreams have been realised ?
Just wanted to mention that I am there now and the noise is a big problem in any of the rooms facing the front. No way to sleep past 9AM.
I suggest to go to Kiwilodge, Barangay Mabolo. Comfortable and value for money i think. Guesthouse style, no Hilton. They have a website and you can book online: www.kiwilodge.org/
During my last visiy they were reconstructing part of the lodge, but it wasn't a real noise problem.

We are heading out to Cebu in oct. for a few nights of fun and diving... I've RTFF'd and can't figure out what the best place is to stay... Any recommendations on good accomodations (higher end) - that will not be too far away from the action... I mean I don't mind driving a ways to get to the action, for a good hotel/dive place...
Any recommendations or PM's are greatly appreciated... I've been to AC a ton, but NEVER to Cebu...
thanks.

There are some high end hotels on Mactan Island (airport) and you will feel right at home if your are Japanese or Korean. The beaches are manmade. There are some high end hotels in mid-town Cebu (Marriot and the Waterfront, which is NOT on the waterfront) and they are a quick cab ride away from the bars. The area around Cebu City is not know for it's beaches or diving. To do that you need to go north (Malapasqua Island) or south of Cebu City.
If you want a combination of diving and bars you might be better off going to Sabang (Puerto Galleria, Mindoro). World class diving and about 5-6 gogo bars in the little town of Sabang. Nice hotels in Sabang and the adjacent Small La Laguna Beach. PM me if you want some info on hotels in Sabang
Yes, Circus Circus (now Jive) was on Lahug Hill.
Interested in hearing about the possibility of a new Circus Circus club on Mango Ave.

Interested in hearing about the possibility of a new Circus Circus club on Mango Ave.The Circus continues.
To my knowledge the rumoured Club Circus at Mango Square in 2006 never happened. Pure rumour.
There was only one at Lahug , which I did not discover , until the mid 1980's. Last time I experienced Club Circus was 1993. Dont know when it actually crashed.
I do not know where you got your 2008 rumour from. It has aroused my curiosity. If no one else does , I will climb the Mount next time in town and report my findings.

jetsetter, waterfront, marco polo and marriott, in that order, are best hotels in cebu city area. on mactan, about 45 minutes away from the city, shangri la is the nicest place.
as emale noted, the diving right around cebu city is not that great. best spot by far is hinutugan island, about 20 minutes by high speed banca from mactan. bohol island is 90 minutes by hi speed ferry and has much better diving.
malpascua is not the best dive area at all and it is 4 hours drive plus 30 minutes boat ride from cebu.
october is peak typhoon season and not ideal time for diving at all.

When is the best time for diving? I figured it would be around Dec and Jan but I was there during Dec and Jan and it rained almost every day (bohol) did not try the diving I figure the weather stired up the ocean thus bad visibility. But I did not try so I am only guessing.
So again when is the best time to dive in the Philippines?
I am in Cebu now and see a few massage places across from Robinsons Mall. Also a couple of Dentist in the complex, next to Juicy Burger.
They offer Massage for about 300 peso, how do I know if they offer more without spending an hour on an unneeded massage.
Last time I experienced Club Circus was 1993.Error , last time was 1998.
End of Circus , until the next rumour , yes/no ? ha ha

I went to Cebu City last December for my first real diving since qualifying as an open water diver. So I don't have too many other places to compare it with. Based on info from members of this board (thanks Spam Hog) and info in the guide book, I started in Moalboal. About 2 hours by bus and 50 peso bus fare (going... there was a "special" fare going) and 80 pesos for the return journey. I had some great dives but the hotel wasn't great so I won't recommend it.
The guys in Moalboal recommended Bohol as another good destination. I went to Alona Beach on Bohol and had some great dives there too. Stayed at the Bohol Divers Resort Hotel (on the recommendation of my taxi driver) which was upmarket and reasonably priced.
Last place tried was Borocay which has now become horribly commercialised and the diving wasn't great. Strong (for a beginner) current and the diving equipment and dive masters generally not up to the same standard as the other places.
Incidentally, from a mongering perspective there wasn't a lot of spare pussy floating around. It wasn't a problem for me because I brought a gf from Cebu City (a story in itself. Thanks again Spam Hog!). However, for guys going on their own it's more difficult than, say Puerto Galleria. Definitely bring your own if you don't mind being with the same honey for the duration of each excursion.

Bob, pretty much all of the massage places offering the P300 variety are standard massage only. I've had some really great Thai massages near Fuente, but it's massage only, no extras. Some places have even started posting signs to that effect. Not saying some of the massage girls wouldn't do some extra on the side if you got them to come to your room instead of on the premises, ymmv.
There are (or were) at least 2 places that offered extra services. One is in the basement of the Crown Regency hotel in Guadalupe (near the Capitol area). Taxi can take you there, 5 or 10 minutes from Fuente. The other place is Finland massage (or the name is close). Search this forum for the name and details including the street and the actual name of the building. I've been here to this place once. They have a fishbowl. From previous reports there were some decent lookers, but when I went none were even passable. I wasn't interested in doing a 5 or so (older, higher mileage, kind of overweight). So, I looked and gave it a pass.
Good luck and please post a report if you try these places or find other options.

CSI spent 150 peso for a 1 hour massage at the place accross from Juicy Burger. Nothing even close to a happy ending. They even make you put on a pair of pants and t-shirt that they provide. I asked the lady if she did outcall (kind of hinting I wanted more). She said they do, but it cost double. I may try it it again with the room service, since it is only 300 peso.
The name of the place had "naut" in the title, many woman working inside and handing out promo info outside the door.
I ended up going on the net and finding a pro for room service. Total cost was 1200 for 2 hours including a great happy ending. Very average looks.

You're spot on. I will be going to Bohol probably at the end of this month so I will check on the Dive scene as well as the LBFM potentiality. As I recall Bohol a few years back wasn't much better than Boracay in that regard.
Interested in your take on the "availability" scene on Moalboal.

If they look like a doctors office and are obviously commercialy "Licensed" you can bet its a Theraputic massage only. You will no doubt see many of these chain places "NUAT THAI". THey are NOT the Thailand version of a Thai massage place, despite the fact that a few of the places have some rather fecthing attendants.
Everyone I've talked to says it is NON SEXUAL.

I have checked the forum in some detail and I have not found any mention of the Europa Mansionette hotel.

We stayed in the South. The first two days in Moalboal we didn't realise there was a much bigger, and livelier, part on the northern side. When we discovered it, we spent most of our leisure time there. There were bars and discos with some available girls around but nothing like the quantity/quality/variety of other established mongering destinations.
I'm sure if I'd been on my own, I would have succeeded in getting laid without too much trouble. But I was glad I had my gf with me.

Perhaps this better belongs in the 'other' thread, but when I was recently at the fantastic Alona Beach with my gf, there appeared to be no single girls around - well, not on their own. There were 40yo female legitimate massueses on the beach (dressed in pinky-purple pantsuits) but no young ladies looking for gentlemen, so it appeared.

I've searched, but want to ask again in case things have changed.
Any hotel recommendations for mongering areas such as Mango Ave?
My price range is most likely from $40 to $70 USD...and I'd like a mid range (in the U.S. we'd say 3 star hotel) hotel close to the action but nice enough so that if I found a non-P4P woman, she'd still think it was ok.
Thanks.
PM me if you want.

Redfield: closest midrange option for Mango Ave is Eddie's Hotel. Mango Park is dumpy and to be avoided. Crown regency is a bit farther (right next door to Silver Dollar Bar however) but very new and nice. Midtown is also an option.

Excellent hotel and very quick cab ride to mango. A great place to stay. ALso if you sit outside the starbucks at the hotel and smile at the girls walking past you can get very lucky very quickly.

There are plenty of good hotels under your price range especially around the circle!
Any hotel recommendations for mongering areas such as Mango Ave?
You could also try the Richmond, just around the corner from Eddies. Same price and better value IMHO.
However, rather than stay in any hotels in the Mango area, try the Cebu Grand Hotel. It's much better, and is only 100 pesos more. However, the Cebu Grand throws in a free breakfast.
I stayed in the Richmond at the beginning of my trip and tried to stay there again on my return to Cebu. However, it was full and I had to go somewhere else. I ended up at the Cebu Grand and was very glad the Richmond had been full.

Another hotel option is GV Tower Hotel, a new hi rise on LOWER Osmena right around the corner from Sogo (the Short time motel in middle of street action area). This is the daytime option (Mango is TOTALLY DEAD until at least 8pm). The infamous "basketball court" freelancer pickup area is near here. It is a more downscale area and some may feel anxious on the street here. However, Mango Ave is the place with all the street urchins begging. Not many rich White folk downtown so the organized cabal of child beggars does not operate there.

Thanks you guys..I take it the Richmond, Diplomat, and Crown Regency are all close enough to the action (on Mango?)...or just the Richmond and Diplomat?
Thanks for your help.
I haven't been to the Diplomat in a few years, but I really liked it. Very clean, nice views from some rooms, cheap, but kind of a far walk up the road to get to Robinsons, Bo's, etc.
Is it still full of Korean students? Some of those Korean girls are stunning. It might be hard to get a room at Diplomat if the English school is still lodging their students there.

Would also recommend the Diplomat Hotel.
There are plenty of good hotels under your price range especially around the circle!
They are all just a few minutes by taxi. From Midtown or Crown Regency its only a ten min. walk to the Mango bars and just a minute or so to Silver Dollar which has an early opening.
Just a quick warning about hotels -- take a look around and find out where the stairs/ fire escapes / extinguishers are. You never know...

Thanks you guys..I take it the Richmond, Diplomat, and Crown Regency are all close enough to the action (on Mango?)...or just the Richmond and Diplomat?
Thanks for your help.
i stayed there for 10 days in march 08 and pleased to report that if you take the upper floors in the new wing you will be impressed with the quality of room and service for the money, nice views also and priced right.
didn't see many koreans there but they could be in the older wing - i am very fussy with rooms and diplomat is my second choice - i used it for the mother of my kid - bringing her to the same hotel i bang all the time is not real kosher although she knows what i am up to...
negatives of diplomat of 30 pesos rides to midtown entrance of robinsons far outweigh the 2x price of similar quality hotels better located....
in that regard i prefer crown garden on salinas just have them take you on a tour of their rooms until you get the right one - the hotel staff, owners and service sucks but they have american style spring mattresses and tiled floors no musty carpets.
I must say I have been to almost every single hotel and pension house in Cebu.

I went to Cebu City last December for my first real diving since qualifying as an open water diver. So I don't have too many other places to compare it with. Based on info from members of this board (thanks Spam Hog) and info in the guide book, I started in Moalboal. About 2 hours by bus and 50 peso bus fare (going... there was a "special" fare going) and 80 pesos for the return journey. I had some great dives but the hotel wasn't great so I won't recommend it.
The guys in Moalboal recommended Bohol as another good destination. I went to Alona Beach on Bohol and had some great dives there too. Stayed at the Bohol Divers Resort Hotel (on the recommendation of my taxi driver) which was upmarket and reasonably priced.
Last place tried was Borocay which has now become horribly commercialised and the diving wasn't great. Strong (for a beginner) current and the diving equipment and dive masters generally not up to the same standard as the other places.
Incidentally, from a mongering perspective there wasn't a lot of spare pussy floating around. It wasn't a problem for me because I brought a gf from Cebu City (a story in itself. Thanks again Spam Hog!). However, for guys going on their own it's more difficult than, say Puerto Galleria. Definitely bring your own if you don't mind being with the same honey for the duration of each excursion.Am heading to Moalboal in a few days.
Were would you recomed staying and diving?

Just back from there - specifically panagsama beach. The place is dead and no action at all, first advice is to take your own. There are plenty of resorts all with ac cottage style accommodation, try Blue Abyss dive shop they seemed good and competent. Diving is so-so right now with vis about 15m. The resports seemed much of a muchness with Quo Vadis, Mollys and Marcosa all close together.
All shuts down early, so mark my earlier advice don't travel alone.
Taxi from Cebu City cost me php2000, which seems the going rate.
Now this is how to do a review! Thanks Tout.
Box springs....we need a little bounce in the bed to improved that up and down rhythm!
Tile floor -- yep, makes for a nicer smelling room. I once caught the room cleaner at a hotel still spraying the air freshner after the front desk warned her that I was coming up to look at a room.

It is possible to get there for a lot cheaper. There are shared ride vans at a bus terminal, I forget which one. I took a local girl who did the talking which helps a lot. I don't remember the fare but I don't believe I paid more than 300 pesos for the two of us for a one way fare. Two disadvantages of doing it this way: (1), you have to wait until the van fills up, the driver will only go when he's got a full load; and (2), the van drops you into the main town, then you have to negotiate with a trike to take you to your final destination. Expect to pay about 100 pesos more for that. Or let your honey do the talking. It was a fun adventure, I will say that.
Caveat, that was almost two years ago, prices are most certainly higher now.

I also thought the place was dead for the first two nights I was there. Then we discovered the northern side of Panagsama which is quite difficult to get to from the South. You have to follow the coast line and walk through a restaurant. Total journey is only 10 minutes by foot so it's not too bad! The northern side is much livelier with a couple of discos and night life. The night action is definitely on the northern side. The south goes to bed very early!
I agree with the comments about the Blue Abyss. Very professionally run by a bunch of Germans and they provide a great diving experience.
P2000! wow. My gf organised for us to get there on the bus from the main terminal in Cebu and it cost 80 pesos each.

Of course both Finrod and Iron Duke are both right there are less expensive ways to get to Moalboal than by cab. However, if time is short ...... in my case I travelled from Cebu about 11:30 and was in the water at 4pm. Only there two nights, then on my last day I did two dives then taxi back the other way at 2pm. Good use of time and I was not on a budget.

It seems we always go about repeating ourselves in terms of hotels, taxi from airport, day trips etc... and we always complain to newbies to read a few posts backs...no trouble.
A few tips: Airport? Taxi? as in any airport if you are an arrival go to the departures and find a cab faster and when it come to the Phil cheaper - they will put on the meter - you can always provide a little extra tip 50 pesos to the meter.
Hotels: Depends on budget. Cebu City - High End? Marco Polo if your are not hunting ladies but Parklane if you are with the new Crown Regency at Osmena also in that category.
Medium End Low Price - Diplomat, Hotel Le Carmen
Long Term Stay - Crown Garden - Salinas nice room for 26,000 p a month
There is so many hotel and pension rooms in Cebu and Mactan Island it is truely amazing - but there are a few jewels - many pension houses for a tall heavy set person and fussy who likes a little leg room and style will be hard pressed to be comfortable under 1600 p a night. A few stand outs in the Pension House category for a shorter, skinnier fussy person would be Apple Tree Pension House with a savings of @ 400 pesos a night.
If you want proper style and comfort you really need to go high end. I just barely survive at Crown Garden. I don't like renting apartments in Cebu even if I save 10,000 pesos a month.
Low End - I rented a decent shack for a gf for 1000 pesos a month in Banawa and furnished it for her for with a spring mattress of course. But I am sure 1000 pesos is way too high for the locals. So I am sure you could move a spring and an air conditioner into a shack and be styling too in no time flat.
Pussy: We all talk about where to find the ladies. Bottom line is that any decent looking lady walking alone is fair game to you. Inside the church or out at the park whatever. The cardinal rule is don't be shy and don't expect you meat all served up for you - work for it because its so damn easy to get.
If you are batting one in ten dont worry just change up whatever it is you have besides jumping out of your skin until you are batting a higher score. You are going to score in Cebu some very fine ladies. The ladies in Cebu are the best lookers in the Phil and yes are the flirty kind. Just go flirt.

In Cebu, it's pretty easy to get a metered taxi to use it's meter. Not sure I'd bother with the suggestion above. All you have to do is leave the airport after clearing everything, cross the small street in front of you, walk to the right until you see a stairway on your left and go up the stairway and get a metered taxi waiting for customers. That's where the official location for them to pickup passengers. It's not like Manila where it used to never exist a location for metered taxis. When I used Phillipine Airlines a half a year ago for the first time in Manila, there were new yellow metered taxis, the only ones allowed to pickup passengers outside. I don't know if it exists in the main international terminal though.
well i would prefer to take the elevator with all my bags to the upper level where domestic departures are and just step out of the air con building and jump in a cab that you can see dropping off a passenger rather than crossing a street and taking a flight of steps with heavy bags...
you really think the probability of finding a taxi man waiting there for maybe hours on end would be as happy to use the meter as the taxi man who just dropped off a paying customer would be... i doubt it.
there is no difference between domestic and international for either of our tips at least.

Insist on c2c - cam to cam - so you can see them as many ladyboys hang around DIA and other sites and not all own up to being one. Also some of the girls photos are older and they have put weight on....So a cam is essential before you get too carried away ;)
if the phil is your only location you monger in then i would focus on filipina heart fh and cherry blossoms cb. i prefer fh.
if you travel thru asia then asianeuro would be the best choice for the variety.
good tip on cam to cam before getting excited. numerous scammers, mostly from nigeria with sexy pics looking for an advance of funds before a peek, and ladyboys who lurk online who enjoy the cam because they can fool you better. be aware of the time, as normal ladies are not at 24 hours cafes at all hours much after 8 pm for fear of their bones being jumped.
i prefer provincial ladies and stay away from ladies from pamapanga in general which cherry blossoms have a high concentration of unless you are into that kind of thing - cuz there are some stunners there.
i am impressed with the advanced search engine at fh. after 100 hours of work or one month you can get the cream of the crop to know your ym by doing mass mailings of those that meet your search criteria. it should be a generic message that you cut and paste with an invite to fh. if you arrive in phil within three months your list should be fresh.
trying to get an almost virgin from the province lady to visit you in cebu for a week or two is what make fh worthwhile to me. when in the city you can change your location to that city on your profile and you will have many ladies who will target you for a night out on the town with their friends. my rule is one to one meetings at a mall in the afternoon stating they need not worry about their virtues then and a follow up meeting if and when an evening frees up.
if you go to provincial towns it will be hard to rotate fh ladies you lined up if you take them out on public dates especially if you like to hunt on the streets or you don't want to risk being labelled a playboy to your prospects - for me i just tell them straight up i am and remind them they are not a virgin as well.
i like to go out on the prowl in the streets best pickings in the morning or afternoon at the malls or on the streets before 7pm for quality at their downtown bargain stores and strike up a conversation here and there - mall prices are too high even for me.
I had spent a lot of time preparing for this trip to Cebu, and so far my plans have come to nothing. The hot lady that I had organised to meet me for the first wekend emailed me the day before to confess that he is a ladyboy.
Then my first backup turned out to be a stunner, just what I am looking for in physical terms, tall, thin, pretty, good nature. But a committed virgin till she is married, or at least close to it.
I have started jumping on DIA for short notice hook ups, but no success so far.
Does anyone have name(s) and number(s) for a good, reliable procurer or pimp who can deliver P4P in short notice?
Because of my commitments here, I do not have the time to cruise the bars etc for nightly pickups of fl. I will be here for several weeks, but need immediate action.
Please pm me with whatever you have.
Best wishes and happy mongering,
Gangles

I didn't realize the Cebu airport is multilevel. Either way, for me the carrying of my bags up a set of stairs is no big deal and I don't mind the exercise at all. I walk when I can when I travel and know where I'm going. I've tried the departure taxi thing at other airports and have been turned away a couple of times by the police outside, so don't bother with it personally anymore. That doesn't mean I go and take one of those overpriced taxis either. Also, you make it sound like the Cebu metered taxi drivers are ripoffs or something. Cebu taxi drivers seem to totally different than what you find in Manila or the scum in places like AC, the trike drivers. In Cebu, they are known to pretty much to always use the meter and that they are honest. A couple of times I tipped separate drivers and they were distressed that I didn't take the change. Again, I'm specifically talking about Cebu in regards to this, since this is the Cebu thread. Also the street I'm talking about in front of the airport is just for the airport and it's not some crazy madhouse. It's a walk in the park. Also, the taxis waiting in line up the stairs have pretty good volume that they don't wait very long and they use their meters. The locals use them as well.
Anyway, I'm done with this response. I've written about the Cebu taxis and getting one from the airport before. Different strokes for different folks. If you have more bags than you can handle then going up the stairs might not work for you.
Hey if it works for you thats fine. As long as you don't pay double than you should thats fine with me, but don't put words in my mouth stating that I believe Cebu taxi drivers are a rip off.
I have taken about 600 plus taxi rides in Cebu over the years and only 7% of the rides were somewhat unpleasant with personal nausea exuding from the driver, and only 1% not wanting to use the meter - so this is excellent relative to the phil and a whole different class to the trike mafia in angeles.
Saying that the vast majority will not give back your few pesos (up to 20 pesos) in change unless you insist and expect it as a tip. However when a drop off on mactan island or a remote locaton far from city is mentioned, be prepared to haggle if taxi man thinks his chances for a fare back to the city is dim.
As I am 6'2 220lb I sit in the front; one time a Cebu taxi driver succeeded in removing the wallet from my front left pocket and had it on the seat. For some fortunate reason I felt something odd and had turned back after I had got up and out of the car and was about to close the door when I turned around to see the wallet on my seat and a blush faced taxi driver - I informed him I needed my wallet and I proceeded to take down his plates as he drove off. I didn't bother to report him but felt a bit shaken from the near miss - there was a little under 1000 usd in pesos in that wallet.
In Manila I have been in only 50 or so ride - about half the taxi don't want to use the meter with me. But I am firm and jump out after insisting to turn it on or i jump out. Many meters have their own pricing system to take care of inflation and kuripot customers like me.
Oh woses me.
I felt a little deja vue when I read this. It must have been about a year ago when I also questioned a poster about that "second level", since I hadn't remembered it at all. I'm still not sure it had been there previously, maybe it was a renovation....maybe I just have a bad memory.
Anyway, you do need to go up a level to get to the arrivals, as Tout recommends.

Hey guys
I have RTFF. I have also been hunting in DIA etc etc.
In terms of mongering places, can you give me your collective opinions on what is the BEST you ever had in Cebu City as far as places is concerned anyway. A few thousand pesos here and there is not an issue. I only have 3 days and I want to do around 6-8

I looked in to booking the Diplomat. They want cc info and more to book a room in advance. I make it a practice not to send cc info on a non-secure site. Is this hotel listed on any of the secure hotel booking sites? I haven't found one.
Thanks,

A few thousand pesos here and there is not an issue. I only have 3 days and I want to do around 6-8Staying at Holiday Plaza or Midtown Hotel for $50-60usd/nite is the best bet. Located in center of city, Midtown is directly over Robinson's, can get to mall without going outside. Supermarket in located in basement, all the girls know how to get there. Also, Ayala mall and SM are short taxi rides. Can walk to Silver Dollar (opens early) and Volvo (expensive). Firehouse (same as Manila) is short taxi ride, so is Papillon, viking, Black Hole, Love city.
Ride from airport is about 250pesos.
Hawaii Firehouse in Cebu (last named FH?) is nothing like Firehouse in MNL, regardless of whether you are referring to the current Pasay location or the long lost Ermita location. It was a really happening place ten years ago when I first went there, but last time I dropped by the place was shut down. Has it reopened? They often do.

PS, go upstairs to arrivals and catch a metered taxi -- it should be around 100 pesos.

With all the meters tampered with rates may vary lol.
Firehouse was shut down for the normal reasons but it should be resurrected by now with new owners etc... There is always fresh money coming into the flesh markets.
Anyone heard about Cadillac Cafe and their similar problems? Didn't bother dropping by when it was still open as Mactan to the occassional trip out to the public beach near Plantation Bay - 20 pesos - clean water, nice location.
The comments regarding seeking a pimp is bizarre - cebu is your pimp - thee are probably 50,000 ladies ready to get their gear off and over 200 establishments you can go to for the same at any one moment in Cebu.
Well to be helpfull Finlandia will suffice if you are on a budget.
On the Old Banilad Road just off the main drag is a *****house I forget the double digit number it goes by - the address. You just drive into the compound pick what you want and head to the nearby short term hotels in that area or your own. All taxi men know it. You are looking at about 2500 pesos overnighter.
IF you are too shy just ask the reception and ask for an in house massage - you will find that extra services will be offered for a short time romp for the same price as hotel needs it cut.
If you insist on the services of a pimp just head down Jakosalem road to Colon and you will find a few pimps that will pop their heads out who will drag you into their barrio - the taxi man knows where to find the pimps with merchandise.
If you are looking for a Ms Floss that procures low mileage university students and find it send me a PM I would like to know it too - lol - but I doubt it exists and if it did I bet prices are in the 5-7000 pesos mark. Might as well go to Arena or Jaguar and spend that kind of money with the lineup.
You can find advertising for massage to hotel in local rags. They could be your pimp, too.
But if you ask me - Cebu is your pimp...

Didn't even remember that till you mentioned it, cause we both know there is way too much going on to remember everything. The airport cars were p290, and across the street and up to the Departing area the meter taxis were about p120 (I give p20 tip). Have enjoyed your many posts!!
Yep, way too much to remember. I can't even remember the names of half the Mango bars. But Firehouse will always be etched into my mind because of a tiny Mindanao sex kitten who rocked my world for a few days back in 1990 -- she was a dancer at the old Ermita Firehouse. She was fun.

Walked around down town Cebu on afternoon. It was quite quiet at about 3pm, but still there were things to do. I was standing in front of MacDonald’s on Pre. Osmena Blvd. About 2 blocks from Osmena Circle trying to orient myself on the map, when two women came up and asked the time. One quite cute, one not so. But both very nice and eager to chat. Where you from? How long are you here? What will you do? You married. They asked if they could join me and I am sure that this was a GFE in the making. They did not look like they were working, just opportunistic. But I did not have the time and really wanted to explore.
After I walked to the Lone Star Saloon (15A Queens Road), where I had enjoyed an evening some years back. Unfortunately it does not open till 8. So I took a cab back to 455 Jones Avenue (Osmena Blvd seems to have two names) to Silver Dollar Bar. It is open in the afternoon and with about 10 girls working. Had a few drinks. Played pool. Lady drinks were PHP120 in the afternoon. Later in the eveing one of the girls asked me to bar fine her at PHP750. Seemed quite cheap, but I had no time. I assumed she would want another PHP1, 000 for herself, but did not test it.
Next I walked down Mango to Papillion and Dimples. Both were just opening at 6, but nothing going on inside. Across the street are about six more bars, but same story. As I stood scratching my head, I noticed a very pretty girl about 10 feet away eyeing me. When I smiled she asked what I was doing standing on the side walk on such a hot day. Her name was Michelle and I am pretty sure she was working, but free lancing. She had just come from a bar called Gecko which is one block down the hill and accross from Papillion but on the side street across the gas station. I went briefly inside and found that, at 6pm there were already 5 or six girls, and they appeared to be freelancing (no bar fine) and not working for the bar. Pleanty cute. It had a nice feel to it, like Cheers. I will check it out in detail next time.

The other day as I walked from Jones to Mango I picked up a few hawkers. They were selling Viagra, Cialis, Rolex, etc. I had actually bought some Viagra and Cialis in Manila a few months ago and it seemed legit and worked ok. These were in sealed boxes and looked real enough. They wanted PSP 1, 500 per box, to which I laughed. In Manila I had negotiated 6 boxes for a thousand. Eventually he was still chasing me at 5 boxes for PHP1, 000. Why not? He handed me the boxes, I handed him the pesos. Then he showed me that he had a sealed plastic bottle that said Cialis Tadalafil tadalafiili. I opened and read the insert, it said 50mg, which I had not seen before and the pills looked legit. The price was right so I bought.
Later I sat at a bench and opened the boxes to check. Dumb am I. Even though I have never had a problem before in Manila, I should have checked inside first. Sure enough some of the Viagra, though blue diamond shaped, did not look real. It had Chinese writing on the aluminum backing and, instead of saying Pfizer on one side and VGR100 on the other, the pills just say "VAG" on both. My guess is that the boxes were real, and they had bough cheaper generic pills and glued the boxes shut. And as for the Cialis, one box was missing two pills. Latter in the day I cornered the guy and he replaced the missing Cialis and gave me another box of what looks like real Viagra.
Anyone seen these "VAG" pills or 50mg Cialis before? Does it work? I am guessing it is Chinese generic, but could be talcum powder (or worse?)

Any info on service apartments in the Lahug area?

Does anyone know when these buses start?
They originate from the South Bus Terminal on Del Rosario in downtown Cebu.
Mattrick is an absolute fountain of great information, but I think he misread your post. You were asking when?
I would suspect they start at the crack of dawn or even earlier.
Manonsanboy has probably already finished his trip, but the buses run pretty regularly.

I have a question. How does one get the fast bus rather than the bus that stops for any Tom, Dick and Harry who waves on the roadside?

I am still planning my trip. I have paid for a ticket with Cebu Pacific and the plane lands @ Cebu at 3:30 am!
I do not want to go by taxi or car transfer but it looks grim.
Have not found a GF yet so it is blue balls diving for a couple of days!

One guy earlier was complaining about his gal coming to visit him with her gay friend. I have to relate about my experience with a gay in Cebu. I was at this bar in Ayala mall having a beer by myself, and this gay guy sits next to me. Very friendly in a straight way. We chat for while and he asks me for dance! Needless I shit my pants and graciously said no. He said that he was not hitting on me. He asked this waiter to dance with him. Hahaha the look on the poor boy's face. This guy was still so humorous. So finally after he asked me again. We dance a fast one. Then out of no where, this group of 6 women show up that were friends of his. He introduced me to them and I had a great night. I talking to the women. A gay can be a great way to meet some really nice women. Women in the Philippines trust gays much more than straight men. Preferring to go out with gays socializing in public.
.... but I think he misread your post. You were asking when?
Thanks X for your assistance, I'm getting to that age where I should try out some reading glasses! Anyway your right, the buses start early like 5:00 or 6:00 am but from my recollection, only a few have a/c. You can still get lucky in Moalboal MB, especially if you hang in the north end of Panagsama Beach.

I had spent a lot of time preparing for this trip to Cebu, and so far my plans have come to nothing. The hot lady that I had organised to meet me for the first wekend emailed me the day before to confess that he is a ladyboy.
Then my first backup turned out to be a stunner, just what I am looking for in physical terms, tall, thin, pretty, good nature. But a committed virgin till she is married, or at least close to it.
I have started jumping on DIA for short notice hook ups, but no success so far.
Does anyone have name(s) and number(s) for a good, reliable procurer or pimp who can deliver P4P in short notice?
Because of my commitments here, I do not have the time to cruise the bars etc for nightly pickups of fl. I will be here for several weeks, but need immediate action.
Please pm me with whatever you have.
Best wishes and happy mongering,

Well if you planned a lot, then you know some cheap places to get a girl. If you like the girl, maybe you can get a weekly rate (yeah, sound slike renting a hotel room)
When I first use to monger in Thailand I found girls I liked and I could work out a really cheap price for keeping them for multiple days.
I'm sure you can find some time to vist a bar or two
The other day as I walked from Jones to Mango I picked up a few hawkers. They were selling Viagra, Cialis, Rolex, etc. I had actually bought some Viagra and Cialis in Manila a few months ago and it seemed legit and worked ok. These were in sealed boxes and looked real enough. They wanted PSP 1, 500 per box, to which I laughed. In Manila I had negotiated 6 boxes for a thousand. Eventually he was still chasing me at 5 boxes for PHP1, 000. Why not? He handed me the boxes, I handed him the pesos. Then he showed me that he had a sealed plastic bottle that said Cialis Tadalafil tadalafiili. I opened and read the insert, it said 50mg, which I had not seen before and the pills looked legit. The price was right so I bought.
Later I sat at a bench and opened the boxes to check. Dumb am I. Even though I have never had a problem before in Manila, I should have checked inside first. Sure enough some of the Viagra, though blue diamond shaped, did not look real. It had Chinese writing on the aluminum backing and, instead of saying Pfizer on one side and VGR100 on the other, the pills just say "VAG" on both. My guess is that the boxes were real, and they had bough cheaper generic pills and glued the boxes shut. And as for the Cialis, one box was missing two pills. Latter in the day I cornered the guy and he replaced the missing Cialis and gave me another box of what looks like real Viagra.
Anyone seen these "VAG" pills or 50mg Cialis before? Does it work? I am guessing it is Chinese generic, but could be talcum powder (or worse?)
The pills could just be generics. I knew when I was taking a real viagra or at least a generic. I always felt a little light headed and all the other bas side effects. I never got bad side effects from Cialis.
I would be suspect of the Cialis, as I think the usual pills are only up to 20MG.

It may be true that Gay is a great cover when trying to meet women, but I ask you, did it help you get laid? Did you screw the brains out of any or all of the 6 women?
Gays in Cebu? Two years ago I landed in Mactan after a long and arse-numbing flight from London, checked into Mid-town, showered, shaved, changed and went downstairs to Robinsons for a coffee, sitting reading a magazine and drinking a latte a pinoy guy, looked straight, asked were any of the seats at my table taken, they looked empty enough to me, so I said "Nope"he sat down, chat started out general, where you from etc, like they all read from the same script, I was tired, jet-lagged, he asked did I have a girlfriend, a chick, I was giving him one-word answers, I wanted to read and drink my coffee to be honest, he was going on and on about women, I looked him in the eyes"Ayoko ng babae, gusto ko lang lalake bakla ako"thinking if this doesnt shut him up and scare him off nothing will, he gave a little scream and placed his hand upon my knee. "Ako rin"
It may be true that Gay is a great cover when trying to meet women, but I ask you, did it help you get laid? Did you screw the brains out of any or all of the 6 women?I tell you pal, if you can put up with those jerks, you have got the key to some mighty fine pussy. I just haven't got the patience to deal with them and all their shit but I have had on odd occasion and got some excellent poon via gay/s. Not cheap but top drawer. Its hard controlling them, they are cheeky and presumptious and potential trouble. They are the ones who deliver the super chicks to the wealthy Filipino businessmen, including Chinese businessmen of course. Stories got them, so many stories, so little time, LOL. Beauty parlors with gay hairdressers in them, is the way to contact the right gays, for the top drawer girls including starlets, genuine models, genuine college students, etc etc. Last time tried gay medium for me 4yrs or more ago, gave me the shits, never tried again since. And yes, he delivered top drawer girls.
I have a good friend whom I used to work with who is having a 4500 sq ft house being built at the moment in Cebu. He has begged me to come visit. He says there are some really beautiful country girls who love Americans. Is this true?
I have to agree, some woman flock to gay men. To make a long story short I was in Rio de Janiero and met some gay man at a samba club. He had the most beautiful woman talking and dancing with him. I found him to be very cool because he tried to set me up with some of the most beautiful woman at the club I have ever seen. The problem was I did not speak much portuguese back then. To conclude, this guy broke my homophobia because he was very entertaining and actually tried to help me meet woman.
For any of you experienced travelers to the Phillipines, do the woman have nice asses? I am attracted to woman with a nice round ass and nice legs. I'm contemplating to either going back to brazil for the 5th time or between cebu or kenya for 3 weeks. Anyone with any insights? I would love to hear your advice. Thanks to all you fellow mongers, I am a rookie seeking your knowledge a great wisdom.

What that means; No ass No tits. It rare to see one with a banging ass body. I saw one Filipina with a gigantic ass on my way home (Manila) from Cebu last May that being said she was a rare occurrence. If you like voluptuous women you need to stick to Africa and South America.
As for the story about the gay cat? Man keep that to yourself in the future. Thanks

Most of the bar girls in Cebu prefer asian guys just like TJ, Mexico.

Hello Shoesky,
Welcome to the board! Yes your friend is right, Americans in general have good repute when it comes to the locals and on the other hand, the Koreans have the worst. If you have a chance to visit an old friend there, I would go for it because half the battle is over!
Some of the best looking women in the Philippines are from Cebu and environs. You will also find many from islands such as Leyte, Bohol and especially Mindanao who are going to school or looking for work.
No you are not going to find basketball sized butts on the women here. You do tend to find round asses but they are more compact. What you will find is many women with great legs, no doubt about that! You can't compare apples to onions because Brazilian women are in a league of their own!
To Cansx:
Is your one line assesment of Cebuana bar girls based on experience?

Most of the bar girls in Cebu prefer asian guys just like TJ, Mexico.Having had the pleasure of visiting both TJ, Mexico and Cebu I would say that they do both prefer exactly the same thing.
Guys with Money!
Nothing more and nothing less.
My preference, girls without clothes.
Most of the woman 18-25( my target group) have a few gay friends,especially the college girls. They have told me they fell safe with them. If you check a girls Friendster account, you normally see a few gay close friends.
As far as Barkely ass, I have seen almost zero in the Philippines. At least in my target range. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find large breast here on a normal size Pinay.
Hello Tout01,
Thanks for the info.
I found Jakosalem road, and I walked it for a long way.
I was not approached by a pimp, or anyone for that matter. So maybe things have changed recently.
I eventually flagged down a taxi, it was an old guy who didn't speak much English, but I made my interest clear, and he said he could take me to a casa to pick a girl.
He took a lot of back streets, and eventually stopped outside a steel, red gate. I recognised it immediately because I stay close to there. I am sure it is the one you mentioned. The gate opened, we drove in. I got out and went into a door. Inside was a fairly large room, with sofas all along the walls. There were about 20 women lounging on the sofas. The papasan came in and introduced himself.
I explained what I wanted, and he made a number of recommendations.
The price is 2,000 all night, you may choose to pay the girl some extra for exceptional service. I got his card, and he will deliver to your room on request.
The place is on a side street off Banilad Road, opposite Gaisano Country Mall. About 200 metres off Banilad, the street branches. The casa is just around the left branch, on the left.
I also went to Liza's Sea Fun Pub. It is a great place, moderate size, great decorations, very big par stools with cushions, good for lounging. Probably 30 girls lounging round, no mamasan pressure, no waitresses hustling for drinks. But the girls were certaily not stunners, although a few were presentable.
Prices for drinks are moderate, ladies drinks 150.
I picked a little damsel, Joan, cost me 1500 for the whole night. She did a good job,and we parted friends, exchanged numbers.
But I still haven't found my personal procurer.

Cabahug street in Mandaue. There was a discussion about the club further back in this thread!
Cabahug street in Mandaue. There was a discussion about the club further back in this thread! Yeh Billspu use that phone number I gave on earlier post/s. Whilst in taxi get owner on cellphone and let your taxi driver take instructions from her on how to precisely find. Better driver gets instructions than passenger, especially in local language.
I asked ISG guys before if they had info on this one. Since then have got info from a friend. Always nice to have a p4p place in ones pocket for emergencies.
Here is info friend supplied. Have yet to check it out personally.
Liza's Sea Fun Pub , Manpark Road , Del Pilar Street , Guizo , Mandaue City. Phone 344.229. Or cellphone owner Liza : 0916 745 5243. Biggest problem with Liza's is finding the place.
Friend suggested getting taxi driver to talk to liza on your cellphone , when driver gets in the general area.
Liza's reportedly has nice decor , ambience and plenty of attractive laid back hostess type girls. Exclusively 1970/80's recorded music played , but not loud. Suit older guys. A beer is not expensive. No pressure from the ladies. Not expensive to bar fine. Word has it , this place is much better than Mango Ave Bars.
Above is friends impression. Let's know your impression after visiting.Quoted stuff is what I posted time before Jan. If you want to can pm you with my version of how you find it, after having been there, but really best to do it as explained above, thats how I found it ie rang from within taxi, gave driver cell he took instructions in local language. Find it first time, no problems from then on.
Except for silver dollar and lone star (Where they cheated me twice on the bill at Lone Star) they seem to like white man. Viking bars and the Hi end bars seem to love the asian. Its seem they like a small package and more money been to cebu 5 times love this place. Tj live 1/2 hour away since 9/11 not as many asians now though thank god. Many times in cebu I am shocked at conduct of some angry drunken white man gives us a bad name treat the girls with no respect. *
Cabahug street in Mandaue. There was a discussion about the club further back in this thread!Yeh , and you promised me a Report , lol.
Curious how others see it.
Lisa's Pub: Got the driver to drop me at the Manpark cemetary in Cabahug road. From there recce on foot, and find within 10 minutes. This was in the daytime. Thereafter at night I know where to tell them where to go.

I vehemently disagree. They like the money, but I have heard more anti-Korean comments from bar girls in Cebu than from most westerners I have met, and Koreans make up the vast majority of non-Filipino Asians there. Now in TJ, I agree, at least among bar girls. It is considered a big deal when a bar girl has an Asian "boyfriend" there, because they have the reputation for spending lost of money, buying lots of presents, being quick to finish at sex, and being more likely to stick around for several years than white or black Americans.
I am with you on this one Hippie. Many girls in Mango told me that they do not like Koreans and cannot talk to Filipinos due to so many raids they are really guarded in case they are undercover cops.
The girls love white guys as in their mind they are rich and a possible way out.

I will be in Cebu this weekend. Anyone interested in hunting together?
I am planning a trip to the Philippines and love HOT women. Where should I go the first time? Manilla? City of Angels? CEBU? Somewhere else?
Remember, this is my first time in Philippines and I want good prices, quantity, and ease. Please let me know. Thanks.
Would also agree with Hippie and Spry Man in that most BG are receptive to the westerner. The only places I got the cold shoulder was at 'Volvo' and with some of the girls at 'Jag' because they already had their 'Moneyko'!
To Sxxxx:
Never made it to Liza's this last trip but I did visit Club Harem with a report to follow soon!
Thanks for the precise address and phone number. It will surely make my reconnaissance much easier.
Take care.

Mattrick,
Thanks for your advice and welcoming me. As for d etat comments, I dated a Filipino girl I met from my friend at his work party. She had big breasts and a fat ass very long black hair. Not obese by any means. I do not think it is rare as you make it sound to find one with at least a some what round ass in the phillipines. However, I can most likely be wrong because I do not know much about that country. Most of the pictures I see on this site of phillipino ladys are frontal shots.

And yes, he delivered top drawer girls.Forest. I did have sex with all 6. Like Sxxxx stated. They were all upper crust women in Cebu, and I mean upper crust. The gay was a fashion designer. Well respected at one time, then he went to Europe as he told me and made a mistake in getting addicted to drugs in Milan. He maintained his list of contacts in the Philippines, and is still very well respected there. After this night we were good friends for good. I still keep in contact with him.
One gal was a past model for FMH mag in the Philippines. I can not remember her alias name, but she was half Filipino and half dutch. 2 others worked as Attorneys in Cebu, the best one was from a wealthy family (Chinese); her father owned and operated a very large construction company in Cebu, her parents' home was simply amazing. She still lived there with her grandmother, and parents. Funny her grandmother was lecturing her when I visited. And she told me that she told grandma not to worry, she already slept with me. Hahaha. She loved to travel, she had been to Amsterdam several times, and I have been there also. We exchanged stories. And decided to travel there together 4 months later and then on to the Canary Islands to see the nude beaches. I was so surprised that after I made the bookings for our travel, that she saw that things were legit and I booked first class. That she offered to pay for all of my expenses, instead of me paying hers. Had a great 3 weeks there. One other was a doctor, 2 days later I was at this tuli gathering being her assistant. Holding clamps. Scissors. Scalpel for the circumcision being sponsored by a drug company for poor families. Hahaha. Of the others, one was a secretary, and the other was a salesperson in a clothing store.
I was in Cebu for 2 weeks with this group. I know that I was the subject of comparision and competition as Chaz (the gay guy) told me. I still stay in contact with all six. 4 are now married except the FMH model and the Chinese gal. I still travel with the Chinese gal for free. Been to China, Phuket, KL, Bali with her so far. Nothing serious other than being fuck buddies.
I have been there last weekend a couple of times. I really like the place.
It is not big. It is homely, interesting decor, no dancing girls, no stage. There are big bar stool type seats with big cushions, very nice to laze in. There are probably 20 to 30 girls, hard to keep count. Few real drop dead gorgeous, but a decent range of sizes and shapes. My first was a little skinny one who climbed onto the back of my seat, sat in there behind me, started to give me a nice massage, good company. Barfine was 1500 LT, til 6 am. She had to go home. LD are 150, beers can't remember, but not expensive. You are not hussled by the mamasan to take a girl. The girls do not hussle for drinks or barfine. Music is a bit subdued, so you can have a conversation. I don't know about food.
There is a brightly lit sign over the place, but not big. I had no trouble to find it.
I like the place, easy going, girls availabe, no hassles.

Just left Cebu last Wendesday to travel to Thailand but thought I would share my thoughts and experiences, more from a Cebu newby perspective than anything else.
This time around on my second ever visit I thought I would make some preperations and I spent about 4 weeks setting up contacts on DIA in readiness for my arrival. Its amazing how many young student types use this dating service and so many come from Cebu.
My first job was to buy a smart buddy sim card so that I could start calling some of my contacts. I actually found it quite expensive to use if you call rather than text and found myself using 500 pesos per day on calls.
The first girl I met was Janice who lived close to the Park Lane Hotel next to Ayalla Mall.
She was 18 years old and I arranged to meet her with her Auntie at Ayalla. The meeting went well, we had coffee in Bo's and I asked her to meet me that evening. She said she would meet me but that she would only have sex once she was married and her auntie told me to be patient as she was a virgin.
Well that is like putting a hungry ant eater on an ant hill and telling it not to eat. I did not think she was really attractive facially but she was quite cute and very slim. I told her that in my culture bf's and gf's sleep together and that if she was not interested in this then I would find another gf.
Anyway she called me later that evening and agreed to stay with me. I am sure that these girls realise that there is an over abundance of young girls in Cebu willing to grab any western man which helps them to come to their senses quickly.
The night with this girl was fairly good and it transpired that she had had sex once before with a Pinoy bf. What she lacked up for in experience, she made up for in enthusiasm and I ended up seeing her twice altogether.
The one mistake I made was not being selective about who I gave my number out to. I found some of the girls passed my number around to friends and relatives, so that at one point I was getting scores of calls from girls I had not even met before.
I lost complete track of who I spoke to, their names etc and a couple ot times embarrassed myself having to ask the caller what is your name, have we spoken before.
I also ran into problems arranging to meet all the girls I met on line and on one particular day I had appointments to meet girls on the hour at Ayalla all through the morning and afternoon. I really needed a good PA to help sort out my diary. Quite a few of the girls I met did not live up to expectations and their photo on DIA actually made them look much better than they were in person. I felt quite bad because a few girls had travelled from Lapu Lapu and further afield to meet me and in each case where I did not want to spend more time with them, I gave them a couple of hundred pesos which was well received. More importantly it eased my own conscience.
Incidentally the girl called Janice who stayed with me was given 1000 pesos. I was not sure how much to give her and I did not want to be over generous, just fair. She seemed delighted with this and it made me feel quite humble later that day when her auntie sent me a text to say how kind and generous I was. For me 1000 pesos is an insignificant paltry amount, but her auntie was overjoyed because she said to me that Janice had bought milk for her baby, something they had not been able to afford before.
It is quite saddening to see such poverty at first hand.
I was in Mango Square the other night and bumped into a guy I had met on my first visit an ex pat living in Cebu. We had met by chance in a coffee shop one evening and he gave me a guided tour of Jonquera one night on my first visit to Cebu at 1am in the morning. He had looked after me really well so I was quite happy to bump into him once again.
My friend suggested trying a newly opened bar owned by his friend so we got in a taxi to try and find it. He only had a rough idea of where to go as he had not visited the establishment before.
I kind of remembered him being overbearing and rude to the taxi drivers we used on my first visit but this time he was really on form.
I have never met anyone in my entire life who was so rude, overbearing and arrogant towards a taxi driver as this man was and I sat in the back feeling extremely embarrassed. We spent at least 30 -40 minutes driving around in this cab and the abuse, put downs and nastiness continued.
We eventually pulled up outside a bar (the wrong one) and he disappeared inside to check it out. Whilst he was inside I actually apologised to the driver for the man's behaviour.
I won't name this guy but I am sure many expats will already know him, he is extremely tall probably about 6'6 and though he earns 20,000 bucks per month in the Phillipines (thats what he told me) he dresses like a tramp.
Anyway we eventually pull up at the right place and I decide to pay the taxi, it came to just under 200 pesos. I tipped the driver 50 pesos, a lot I know but I felt it was recompense for what he had endured from this guy. Anyway my "friend" shouted "don't #%#@ tip him" and demanded the tip back from the driver.
As we got out of the cab I tried to discreetly pass back the 50 pesos to the driver but unfortunately it did not go unoticed. He opened the back of the cab and again demanded the tip back and though I tried to intervene it was of no avail. My friend then turned on me and suggested I go elsewhere if I was going to [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) on his terroritory and with that I caught a cab alone, back to Mango Square.
During my visit to Cebu this time, I had heard of an American being murdered for allegedly being rude to some Pinoy. I think this guy I have talked about uses his size to intimidate, but with that kind of behaviour I guess it will not be long before he ends up being another statistic.
Despite his kindness on my first visit to Cebu, I will have no sympathy if it happens to him and quite frankly I feel unsafe with someone who is so utterly rude on foreign soil.
Just wanted to add this observation, sorry it does not relate to our core activity of mongering

My friend suggested trying a newly opened bar owned by his friend so we got in a taxi to try and find it. He only had a rough idea of where to go as he had not visited the establishment before.
I kind of remembered him being overbearing and rude to the taxi drivers we used on my first visit but this time he was really on form.
I have never met anyone in my entire life who was so rude, overbearing and arrogant towards a taxi driver as this man was and I sat in the back feeling extremely embarrassed. We spent at least 30 -40 minutes driving around in this cab and the abuse, put downs and nastiness continued.
We eventually pulled up outside a bar (the wrong one) and he disappeared inside to check it out. Whilst he was inside I actually apologised to the driver for the man's behaviour.
I won't name this guy but I am sure many expats will already know him, he is extremely tall probably about 6'6 and though he earns 20,000 bucks per month in the Phillipines (thats what he told me) he dresses like a tramp.
Anyway we eventually pull up at the right place and I decide to pay the taxi, it came to just under 200 pesos. I tipped the driver 50 pesos, a lot I know but I felt it was recompense for what he had endured from this guy. Anyway my "friend" shouted "don't #%#@ tip him" and demanded the tip back from the driver.
As we got out of the cab I tried to discreetly pass back the 50 pesos to the driver but unfortunately it did not go unoticed. He opened the back of the cab and again demanded the tip back and though I tried to intervene it was of no avail. My friend then turned on me and suggested I go elsewhere if I was going to [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) on his terroritory and with that I caught a cab alone, back to Mango Square.
During my visit to Cebu this time, I had heard of an American being murdered for allegedly being rude to some Pinoy. I think this guy I have talked about uses his size to intimidate, but with that kind of behaviour I guess it will not be long before he ends up being another statistic.
Despite his kindness on my first visit to Cebu, I will have no sympathy if it happens to him and quite frankly I feel unsafe with someone who is so utterly rude on foreign soil.
Just wanted to add this observation, sorry it does not relate to our core activity of mongering
Mortman....I feel you...I had a very similar experience in Cebu, I met a retired expat.. he is around 6 feet, as you did not mention his age...he was in his 70's...not sure if he is the same guy..
I met him online for some business related work in India.
I found him helpful in getting to know about local culture and people.
All went good..untill we went to a bar in Mango square..he was good there till he liked a girl and wanted to take her out...Mamasan said the rate is 1500 pesos..instead of negotiating the price...he just leaped over to her...grabbed her and abused her left and right..i dont know which language he used..it was i think a mixture of english & bisaya ....but he abused her as if there is no tommarow..we just had couple of beers and he asked for the bill, when the bill came....i did not take the change as i thought i will put it as a tip...he didn't realize that i had tipped....so in a flash...he went back and after screaming..got the change back.
I still didnt know why he got so pissed...after that day...i went again to the same bar and asked the mamasan what went wroung..even she did not know the reason..apparently they are all used to old expat creating a scene....
I had thought it as an one off experience..but after reading your post...i guess there are more old and rude expats around :)
Another theory, the expats have there is not to tip anyone and pay below the price for a BG....cos tourist spoil their market...
As you said i would be hardly surprised if expats gets knocked off now and then for their behavior...no men or women can tolerate it...and Filipinos are one of the most tolerant & behaved people around..so if they get agitated.....there is no excuse for what the expats get
Great reports, Mortman.
Your experience with the rude expat is something we've all seen. At the risk of being flamed to death, expats can be curious folks. Although most are just legitimate folks who find themselves, by choice or chance, in another country, there are some who are basically dropouts, who couldn't cut it in their own society, and would be out of place, anywhere. But I wouldn't brush that too widely, as I've met more great ones than psychos.
And your experience with the dating sites is not unusual. Be selective, be suspicious... If her pics look too good to be true, then they probably are. Do the pics look extremely professionally made? She probably pulled them off the net. I never even bother contacting a girl unless she has at least a couple of pics that are obviously of the same person and of sufficiently amateurish quality to be believeable. But then, I'm naturally a cynic!

Yes this guy was about late 40's or early 50's but very very tall at least 6'6 but maybe as tall as 6'8. He was American and I only knew him by his first name of Michael. Anyway I am planning to go back to Cebu in a few months but will give this guy a very wide berth. Incidentally I just want to add that I have met many ex pats in Cebu most of who have been helpful friendly and polite, this guy was the exception.

okay. this was not cebu but i bump into this guy in an internet cafe. seems nice enough. i bump into him at a mall at 10 am a few days later. he has a bag with 3 beers in it. and he's driking one. it's 10 am (sorry i'm not a breakfast beer guy). he went off on how he knew the chief of police and he could just walk aroudn drinking no matter where he was. i'm like. "okay. that is good for you". the guy is clearly drunk at 10 am.
so i have an hour to kill waiting for a client so this guy joins me at a kenny rogers.- a fast good place. he goes on an on about how he likes have sex with 15 and 16 year old girls. in a loud voice (really loud) he goes on and on about how he likes **** girls. we are the only whites and the people around us were families and working professiona having an early lunch. i mean these people are looking at us and thinking we are of the same mindset. i'm wondering "god, how did i get in this situation? "
i made some excuse and got out of there. and i'll stick to the 18+ crowd. my skin still crawls. i have bumped into this guy a couple more times but i say hi and invest some excuse to get as far away from his as possible.
This is why cute Philippine bar girls prefer asian tourist from Japan, Korea etc. I see so many white men treat these girls like crap its so wrong.
Forest. I did have sex with all 6. Like Sxxxx stated. They were all upper crust women in Cebu, and I mean upper crust. The gay was a fashion designer. Well respected at one time, then he went to Europe as he told me and made a mistake in getting addicted to drugs in Milan. He maintained his list of contacts in the Philippines, and is still very well respected there. After this night we were good friends for good. I still keep in contact with him.
One gal was a past model for FMH mag in the Philippines. I can not remember her alias name, but she was half Filipino and half dutch. 2 others worked as Attorneys in Cebu, the best one was from a wealthy family (Chinese); her father owned and operated a very large construction company in Cebu, her parents' home was simply amazing. She still lived there with her grandmother, and parents. Funny her grandmother was lecturing her when I visited. And she told me that she told grandma not to worry, she already slept with me. Hahaha. She loved to travel, she had been to Amsterdam several times, and I have been there also. We exchanged stories. And decided to travel there together 4 months later and then on to the Canary Islands to see the nude beaches. I was so surprised that after I made the bookings for our travel, that she saw that things were legit and I booked first class. That she offered to pay for all of my expenses, instead of me paying hers. Had a great 3 weeks there. One other was a doctor, 2 days later I was at this tuli gathering being her assistant. Holding clamps. Scissors. Scalpel for the circumcision being sponsored by a drug company for poor families. Hahaha. Of the others, one was a secretary, and the other was a salesperson in a clothing store.
I was in Cebu for 2 weeks with this group. I know that I was the subject of comparision and competition as Chaz (the gay guy) told me. I still stay in contact with all six. 4 are now married except the FMH model and the Chinese gal. I still travel with the Chinese gal for free. Been to China, Phuket, KL, Bali with her so far. Nothing serious other than being fuck buddies.I think the fashion gay was a step or two above my beauty parlour gay. Certainly not from wealthy families , my girls.
Cheers
Wrong cansx. This person is the exception. The girls prefer whites as generally they treat women better than Asians do. Yes, a few whites tend to drink to much, which is by no means an excuse. But Asians seem to treat bar girls badly from what I have been told by many of them.

Okay. In a loud voice (really loud) he goes on and on about .
LOL...Yes some expats really talk a lot....
The expat i met talked continuously for three hours in between sipping beers when in business meetings...he talked about his childhood days in America to his adventures in Cebu and explaining each and every place that he being to....he was like a women masked into a mans body..it went on for couple of days on length.....it was a routine of sorts to hear him all what he got to say to get things done..
I think the reason is even if they get plenty of girls..they feel really lonely inside..they can have sex..but the bed talk after sex is missing....they wanna share everything but can't to a local women due to cultural differences..so the built up frustration of not being able to talk to someone who understand shows up..
Going to a lonely Expat who does not have much social life in Philippines for information and help is a time consuming process...you will get all the information you need but at the same time..you got to hear his side of story of how he got in there at first place :)

have been here 2 days. cebu is compact. mango street bars a 5 minute walk from robinsons. gate 3 is far, past ayala.
massage at crown regency has gone upmarket and is now called prana. no extras. looked into many massage establishments. most are dumps. some spectacular ones but can cost 2500 for a 3 hour session but very good.
robinsons: picked up a scammer; 1000 for blow job instead of sex. i looked at her and said she may get into trouble. she then reluctantly opened her legs. queensland short time motel was flea infested and plain but for 275 i guess its ok. very busy. beware taxi scam. old driver charges extra. i gave the usual fare and he abused me. the security guard chased him away.
gate 3 is as described. about 12 girls came out, mostly 6 & 7. i took a big rack from mindanao and it was all very good. 3000 to house and 500 tip because she was capable of intelligent conversation. was a school teacher and by whart she says, i believe her. she works 3 weeks a month.
lone star; girl would not go with me. all others were 4 & 5's. silver dollar: mostly crap. must have been the time: 5 pm.
one dia girl brought mum along! we saw the sights. another confessed to be 15 instead of 22. i bought her and her friend (16) lunch and sent them on their way. third one was a beauty but wanted a green card. she was disappointed when i said i worked in hong kong (i am actually retired).
impression: cebu is not as nice as southern china but for folks who speak only english, there are plenty of available talent. very polite and friendly people. the town itself is a sh#t hole. there is simply not much else to do (scuba in cebu city is not good) and golf is nothing special but competent. there are too many western men in 60's walking around with what look like **** girls.

yeah i did see a lot of old ass men with young girls around cebu. i also had a bar girl try to pull the blow job only scam. amazing isn't it? i still loved the place. i thought it was cleaner and provided a way better experience then manila.
anyway my two...

This place has the Orchid massage. Rooms clean and neat. Line up mostly 4-6's. Room was 700. Had number 6; she was useless. Wanted 3000. I said that was a scam. Eventually settled on 1500. Still a waste of time.
Small dicks, they cum quick, and they overpay, that is why some bargirls like Japanese and Koreans.
Also known as rule #333.........3 inch cock, 3 minutes of sex and 3k peso tip. Why wouldn't they go with them ?
Actually most girls I met would'nt anything to do with Korean men. As for the influx of Koreans, it's a temporary thing, the Won is consistently losing value against the peso and it will get even worse in the coming months when the Asian market bubble bursts

After many long years, they were driven out. Same will happen to the Koreans, who are already massively unpopular with Filipino's and others. It's not temporary, its long term temporary, unfortunately.

Really; and their place to be filled by the sons of the land of the brave and home of the ..................whatever
Sorry must correct a loose statement I made before.
Japanese were not kicked out, they left of their own accord. Too many unpleasant experiences for them. Their government recommended they do not visit Phils anymore. They obeyed, only small number visit nowadays.
The Japanese were actually popular.
Koreans stepped in to fill the vacuum, on the back of learning English. Think koreans will start having bad experiences too and hopefully downsize. They even occupy some of my favourite rooms nowadays. They are everywhere like ants. They do not interfere with girl choices, but their sad faces and I'll manners do cause concern, lol.

Hi,
well that might be true, if you 20 or more years older then the gurls you screw, there aint much interlectual talking between you and the gurls. If they from the p4p business its less..However, its natural if you in a minority you group some other minorities around you (mongers) and talk to them, like I do it here :D, its ok for me and sorry if I ever will run into you and tell you all about my childhood etc etc ...hahahahaha....
Seriously, thats normal, you see this all the time, minorities stick together, maybe IM in a better positions cause Im working with pinoys, so Im allready socially adjusted, wether I like it or not....but as I say, beware if you run into me, I have many stories to tell hahahahaha.....
For the harsh expats here, well, I can tell, some menthally retarded, unhappy with their life, maybe some married bar gurls hahahaha and now have to support all their relatives...again the issue comes up, why getting married.
All in all, thats all for today..I will end this, with..
Why so serious...son?? (the dark knight...)

BL don’t be too hard on the guy. I used to be that guy. I was like that, lonely telling anybody who would listen my life story and I was married. I couldn’t talk to my ex-wife because she would always either act uninterested on respond in some offensive manner. This led to people always coming down on me simply because they knew too much about my life. Or in some form or another coming to the conclusion I was a weak individual. All human beings need emotional support. Some get it from others, some people are self-sustaining. Two things are going to happen to people like this. One they will continue down this path or two they will develop what I have. The incapacity to feel anything and become confrontational. My girlfriend now tells me my emotions are like stone. I wonder why?

Really ought to take this discussion to a general thread, this isn't Cebu related. But I'll take a shot here: men shouldn't give away their emotions to the women in their lives, the women can't handle them. With men and women, long emotional "unburden yourself" talks are only meant to go one way. If you give her your own emotional talk to unburden yourself, you are often seen as weak. Better to smile, listen a lot, don't try to solve her problems for her. If you have to show anger, keep it short, make it about how you feel, not about attacking her, then walk away or kick her out. Don't make a fight out of it, women always remember that. If a man really needs to vent, he needs one or more trusted male friends to vent with. Never vent with women. I understand D'Etat well, I've been there and lived to tell other men how not to go there. This applies to the Phils (and Thailand) as much as it does to where you are from.

I saw a few similar age westerner-filipina couples, inevitably with babies. The majority were men in late 50's plus and 18-22 girls. To think they would ventilate to these young ladies is laughable....................Cebu is fullof young women on the make because it is a centre of education and guess what......there are fees to pay. Next time I am in town, I shall look for these
Japanese were not kicked out, they left of their own accord. Too many unpleasant experiences for them. Their government recommended they do not visit Phils anymore.Back in the 1980s I worked on an ad campaign pitching Cebu to the Japanese without ever mentioning it was in the Philippines. We billed it only as "Asia's Isle of Eternal Summer". And in fact many Japanese flew direct to Cebu, spent their holidays there and flew back, never realizing they'd actually been to the PI.
BL don’t be too hard on the guy. I used to be that guy. I was like that, lonely telling anybody who would listen my life story... sic I found that to be a brilliantly honest and self critical post. I think we've all been there from time to time. While I've not done the marriage thing, I've spent extended periods where a bit of friendly conversation is something I crave more than readily available pussy. Fortunately, it isn't the norm, but it is an unpleasant sensation.

A Cebu report coming

And in fact many Japanese flew direct to Cebu, spent their holidays there and flew back, never realizing they'd actually been to the PI.Ha ha , good one.
But if they left the golf course they would know.
The criminal element of Phils targeted the Japanese and how. The Japs seem to be a trusting lot , maybe I am wrong there , and the Filipinos took advantage of that characteristic , until the Japanese Govt stepped in and discouraged its citizens from travelling to the Philippines. Very few nowadays , certain percentage went to Thailand , dont know where the rest went.
The Japs never got in my way , but the sad faced koreans do.
The Koreans must be super important to Phil economy by now , students and investors abound. They will be around for a long time yet. Seems they do not trust the Filipinos and so do not get ripped off much. This might mean they become a permanent feature of the Phil landscape.

While the Koreans have been investing in the Philippines and will probably continue at some level, their glory days may soon be a memory. The value of the Won against the Peso peaked 2 years ago and has been on the decline ever since. The Koreans will also run into the same problem everyone has to confront.......the institutionalized corruption it's a real road block. While every country has some level of corruption the Philippines elevates it to an art form. It is a remnant of Spanish Colonialism, it's one of the two gifts that the Spanish left with all their former colonies......Corruption and the Catholicism
This might mean they become a permanent feature of the Phil landscape.Very likely, I think. The Koreans are tough people and they'll stick it out.
What I can't figure out is when I see whole Korean families hanging out in places like Angeles City, even in the warm part of the year. I mean, what's the appeal?
Have to post my two pesos. I live in Korea and have about 30 or so working for me. Those of you who have never been here have no idea about the level of corruption and payoffs here. It is in thier culture to rip you off, or should I say, get the best deal possible out of a situation. I cannot tell you how many "gifts" I get on a weekly basis. Mostly these are followed up by requests for days off with pay for a sick kid, grandma, parent, etc. By law and contract, I am required to give 15 family sick days a year, however, it is up to me to decide yes or no. And I sign the paycheck and leave slips. I think I have a pretty bad reputation because after I took over I uncovered some faulty book procedings, fired two indivuals for fraud, and corrected several hours of overtime abuse. I thought I was just doing my job as I would in any company in the states, however, after that, I was the bad guy with the Koreans.
So, unfortunetly, I think the Koreans in Cebu will be around for a while also. Really bums me out when I see signs like, "no foriegners" or "koreans only" here. Try that shit in the US and your store will get burned down. Here it is acceptable culture. Go to a club and the door girl says, "sorry, koreans only", or takes one look at me, even though I have two korean girls with me and they say, "all full, no room, sorry". Bullshit.
I love the PH, and cannot understand how these people can own property there? They have to be getting a good deal because they would not do it if otherwise.

I normally stay at cebu midtown but after my last visit they charged me a guest fee for a girl. I talked to GM next day and told him that if I get billed for this I would never stay here again [ 4 times before]. So I start this trip at the richmond hotel. This is one of the best choices I've made on this trip. There is free wi fi in the lobby also in one month I saw 2 roaches in my room. The cebu midtown I would see 2 roaches a day. I like location of the richmond better also. Now onto the bars 1] Silver dollar maybe 5 cute girls I bar fined 3 of them it was all good. The bar is a dive but the girls seem to like the white man here. 2] Lonestar maybe 4 cute girls I bar fined 2 of them. The problem I had with this bar was twice they tried to rip me off on my bar bill. This was after they saw me talking to the owner for hours at a time. I tip well and treat people how I wanted to be treated. I've never been so mad over a bill [ I need to chill out] I never went back so be careful here. 3] Dimples one very cute girl with breast LOL 4] Papillon only saw one very hot girl wanted to much money. 5] Temptation 3 cute girls but not very white friendly at this club but this bar as the hotest mamasan. 6] Sister sister didn't see any cute girls here. 7] black hole don't bother 8] asian flower? I think thats the name had 2 cute girls but they were friends with a girl I bar fine. 9] The viking bars [3] First viking there were maybe 6 cute girls but not very white friendly here. I barfined one and it was very nice. Next door is called BGs I would say 4 cute girls I bar fined one. They seem to be more white friendly here. My favorite place next to BGs is called NEXT DOOR. I think this place had the best girls and was a fun place to hang out. The problem I had was the hot girls would only go with asian tourist. I actually won 2 bets with locals that they wouldn't be able to bar fine the ones I like. Well at least I got some beer out of the deal. Misc notes: All girls lie over stupid things. Also if you really like a girl in a bar it might not be a good idea to bar fine someone from the same bar. They get very jealous so just go to another bar. I had alot of fun at a disco called julina in mango square. At about 3am you will see some bar girls show up. I left this place a couple times at 6am [ to old for this LOL but fun] do not go here on Friday or Saturday to crowded and hot 40 peso for a beer yeaaa. Sunflower disco fun on Thursday and Saturday. I also joined the gym at the waterfront hotel good deal because you can also use the pool. I feel the Koreans are taking over the island. FRUSTRATING
When I say a girl is cute in my post. She is at least a 7 im very picky. So most of the girls were a 7 or 8.
When I say a girl is cute in my post. She is at least a 7 im very picky. So most of the girls were a 7 or 8.Yes , and if you dont mind , could you post a pic of a girl you think is cute?
Very subjective.
just a quick report to follow up on cansx report. i'll try to add more after i review some of my notes and pictures.
silver dollar was much better this time than some of my previous visits. one girl looked very nice, but she kept licking her lips at me. i got the message the first time and decided i'd hit the road after about the fifth time.
stars doesn't have too many stars -- other than the ones painted on the walls.
black hole used to be huge. a few years ago a piece of black hole was sliced off to make another bar. maybe asian flowers? a few weeks ago bh was closed for renovation. i took a peek inside and it will now be one of the smaller bars. big mama tina is still on the scene.
in contrast, eric the red and a neighboring bar (maybe bgs?) were joined to make one bigger bar. the decoration and atmosphere is still the same. lots of red...red sofas, lots of gals. the problem is only one or two dancers at a time and most of the other gals are lounging around chatting with each other. if you sit down you basically have to sit next to a group of ladies. this has its good and bad points.
the downtown p4p area was in the newspaper while i was in town. the police had raided the place and apparently found a few ladies behind padlocked doors. give that place a miss.
i ran into two ladies that i first met in the bars from two years ago. i asked one how many guys she'd fkd, but didn't get an answer. one is back at viking via lonestar and was quite nice about getting a stunner to sit next to me. good friend to have....i have to remember to send her a nice email. the other is still at papillion, although i met her in the rest room at black hole. i won't mention her name, but she is unique in that when you fk her you will see her feet on each side of your head in your periphial vision.
cansx mentions julianas in mango square. this place is relatively new and there was no cover charge the night i went in. it was full of poeple, but as is often the case the filipinas are in large groups.
i was alone, had a beer and then left. while leaving the security guard asks, "looking for chicks?"
"yes, i am".
he points back into the disco. i smile and keep walking. i pass two ladies just a few meters on. i few seconds later i hear the security guard yell. i look back and he's next to the two ladies and pointing at them. they walk back to me. i chat with the two, but one looks a bit young. i ask for her age, and confirm my suspicion. i move on.

i normally stay at cebu midtown but after my last visit they charged me a guest fee for a girl. i talked to gm next day and told him that if i get billed for this i would never stay here again [ 4 times before]. so i start this trip at the richmond hotel. this is one of the best choices i've made on this trip. there is free wi fi in the lobby also in one month i saw 2 roaches in my room. the cebu midtown i would see 2 roaches a day. i like location of the richmond better also. now onto the bars 1] silver dollar maybe 5 cute girls i bar fined 3 of them it was all good. the bar is a dive but the girls seem to like the white man here. 2] lonestar maybe 4 cute girls i bar fined 2 of them. the problem i had with this bar was twice they tried to rip me off on my bar bill. this was after they saw me talking to the owner for hours at a time. i tip well and treat people how i wanted to be treated. i've never been so mad over a bill [ i need to chill out] i never went back so be careful here. 3] dimples one very cute girl with breast lol 4] papillon only saw one very hot girl wanted to much money. 5] temptation 3 cute girls but not very white friendly at this club but this bar as the hotest mamasan. 6] sister sister didn't see any cute girls here. 7] black hole don't bother 8] asian flower? i think thats the name had 2 cute girls but they were friends with a girl i bar fine. 9] the viking bars [3] first viking there were maybe 6 cute girls but not very white friendly here. i barfined one and it was very nice. next door is called bgs i would say 4 cute girls i bar fined one. they seem to be more white friendly here. my favorite place next to bgs is called next door. i think this place had the best girls and was a fun place to hang out. the problem i had was the hot girls would only go with asian tourist. i actually won 2 bets with locals that they wouldn't be able to bar fine the ones i like. well at least i got some beer out of the deal. misc notes: all girls lie over stupid things. also if you really like a girl in a bar it might not be a good idea to bar fine someone from the same bar. they get very jealous so just go to another bar. i had alot of fun at a disco called julina in mango square. at about 3am you will see some bar girls show up. i left this place a couple times at 6am [ to old for this lol but fun] do not go here on friday or saturday to crowded and hot 40 peso for a beer yeaaa. sunflower disco fun on thursday and saturday. i also joined the gym at the waterfront hotel good deal because you can also use the pool. i feel the koreans are taking over the island. frustrating

Has anyone stayed at the Crown Regency Fuente lately? I hear its under construction and can be noisy as hell. Any other suggestions for a decent hotel nearby? The Crown Regency is $65 on asiatravel.com. The Midtown no longer cuts it for me and the Marriott is under construction as well. Any suggestions advice would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

I'm going to be flying from Manila to Cebu in Oct. as part of my first time visit to the Phillipines.
I have heard some bad things about Cebu Pacific. If you were me, would you still fly them? If not, what other airline is economical, but good?
Oh, decent hotel in $30-$60 range and located in a good spot (close to the "action" , etc.??
Thanks, guys.
Had a blast time in Cebu a month back. I was there for a week and will post some pics soon. In the meantime, I know its a long shot, but I'd like to contact one of the girls I met there. The two weeks I spent are a little blurry from the heavy consumption of San Miguel and all I can rember are a few details about her. She is large breasted, youngish, and her name is TJ. Even forgot the bar she is working in. Any info from the regulars there (Even just which bar she's from) would be appreciated.

Always liked the Marriott. Try Parklane or Marco Polo but maybe pricey. I am not a fan of some of the lesser priced ones like you-heard bad sotires about Mango Park last time I was in Cebu. Also I need internet wifi in teh room guaranteed and the bigger ones can provide. I pay a bit more YMMV but that is me
Try call the hotel direct as sometimes the internet rates etc are better than the asiatravel rates

In the past I have always used the Marriott, good standards, good value for the standatr of hotel, GF etc. However, I was there four weeks ago and the place is in the middle of a major renovation. The pool and pool bar are closed and you had to go down two flights of stairs to the basement to get the lift to the guest rooms. Sure the porter will take your bags to the room for you but trying to get them to get my bags when I checked out took ages and a worried rush to the airport followed. Given prices are the same it would seem obvious that this was an area the hotel should have worked on ,,,,,,,,,,,,then again this is the Philippines.
I'm going next weekend for a short trip, no booking at the moment and as it's low season and feel comfortable with the lay of the land I plan to take a risk and see what I can get on Friday night. If I get any new info I'll share in about 8 days time.

Just do a google search on Cebu pacific and just book directly through the site. There are some good prices but like any budget airline the earlier you book the better the price, tax is the killer.
If your not stopping over in Manila give yourself plenty of time to clear immigration and transfer to the domestic terminal as both will take longer than you expect.

Most people having problems with Cebu Pacific are people having problems trying to buy tickets online when outside of the Phillipines. I wouldn't bother trying to book it but if you want to try go ahead. You might like Manila so much you might want to extend and stuff. My choice is to just go to a travel agent and book it there while in Manila. I've flown from Clark to Cebu through them two times and had no issues. The planes were barely half full if that. If you are a nervous Nellie then do what makes you feel good. I'm not sure how much you have traveled except that this is your first time in PI.

ThanksIn desperation, I used Cebu Pacific Air recently, bought at their ticket office cebu city, and seemed to get a much better rate for the return sector which had plenty of empty seats. Outgoing fare was not that cheap. So I think if you leave it to last moment you will be paying similar rates as Air Philippines, a superior airline.
Buy as early ahead as pos. The less tickets already sold, means the better price for you. Yeh, Cebu Pacific Air had a beautiful air tragedy few years ago, everyone killed, LOL. But I will still travel with them if can not get flight with Air Philippines, owned by PAL. Philippine Airlines, PAL, is the most expensive.

The problems I’ve had with Cebu Pacific has indeed been on line, they simple will not accept an American credit card on line. I was able to use the same credit card at their office in Cebu without any problems.
The other thing about Cebu Pacific is they have a reputation for being late, and sure enough they were late on both flights I took.
They do however seem to have good prices.

I like Cebu Pacific. You can find dirt cheap flights for travel on the next day, I need the flexibility they offer. No need to pay or reserve the ticket far in advance.
The only problem is with the credit cards, it is hit and miss using your US card. I tried 5 cards one day and all were declined with out a reason. But 2 weeks later, it accepted the card for some reason.
I found it easier to just go to the mall where CP has an office. Take a priority number and go check out the mall for an hour. When you get back to the office it should be about the time they call your number.
Cost of flight from Cebu to Davao was $32 with all taxes and fees added in. Cebu to Manila was about $45 in total.

Sopwith,
I have been staying at Ford's Inn. It is a bit away from the city center, maybe an extra 5 mins by taxi. I have a brand new room, aircon, cable, fridge. Cost is about 1600 pesos. Very good value.

I still have problems with credit cards with Cebu Pacific, booking from in country. But I generally find that one card, out of the three that I carry, is eventually accepted.
Visa seems to cause the most problems because of the Verfied by Visa system that often rejects cards for unknown reasons. But the information that you put in must be exactly right, including the name of your bank, you r address et. Everything must exactly match the nfo held by your bank.
When I get back to OZ I will call the bans and check the information that they have so that I can get it right every time.
G
Be very careful with Cebu Pacific. I would definately advise confirming your flight a couple of days before departure. I was leaving Cebu for Hong Kong in May and arrived at the airport 3 hours before departure to find that there was no flight! This was despite me having a valid ticket.
I was told that the schedule was changed more than a month before, no-one had contacted me despite having to enter phone numbers and email addresses when booking the tickets online.
The disappointing part of this episode was that there was around 7 of us waiting for a flight, 3 aussies, 2 yanks and me and my wife. No filipinos, so they had obviously contacted them but not bothered with the foreigners.

Stayed at the Marriott many, many times including three stays so far this year, the last was about a month back. Each trip I have taken girls back for the night or afternoon and I have never ever had any issue for the Hotel.
My only problem with the Marriott is the renovation which is currently taking place. This does not affect the guest rooms but as previously posted, the lifts to the guest floors are now from/to the basement and not the ground floor. Additionally, the pool and the pool area, including the bar, are closed and are scheduled to remain closed until 31Dec08.
If it was not for the above I would happily stop there this weekend, indeed may still do so.

waffles, i have stayed there in last two months. i had a corner room: excellent.
while the hotel has not been finished on the uppermost floors i was on the 17th floor and there was no construction noise. however there was a bit of sandpaper left on the windowsill, and some grotty windows that need cleaning: nonetheless, views were still good.
bathroom fine and excellent new tv in room, with cable channels. good drapes, and a nice table and chairs if i recall.
hotel service was fine. the hotel had an occupancy rate of 55 per cent while i was there which is nothing great but it is a new hotel, and will take a while to become 'known.' gf as far as i could see though i was with my special friend.

Is it preferable to book a standard or superior room at the Richmond Plaza? It appears the standard (double) is a queen or king bed and, of course the room is small. The superior (double) appears to have two beds rather than one bed. Can anyone help me out here based on your experience and knowledg?

Hi all,
Thanks to Xman for providing me info. But I think I'll ask the "group" for opinions, also.
Regarding the Richmond Hotel in Cebu. I'm trying to decide whether to book a standard room (I assume I'll have to book a doubler regardless of a standard of a Superior) or to book a Superior room. For a double Std it is 1050 pesos and for a. Double Superior it is 1500 pesos. Anyone with experience staying here. Do you suggest a superior room rather than a standard room?
Also, do you know what their cancellaton policy is?
I"d like to go to Cebu for about 8 days, but in the middle of that time also explore some other places from Cebu for a few of those days and nights. So don't know if I should book the whole thing for all 8 days and chance being able to cancel some. Or just book like the first two days arriving and a day departing and take my chances with the rest of those days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

ThanksBook for the 8 days. That decreases your stress level. Tell them you want a room with one big bed (matrimonial they call it). If you have the funds, spend the extra to be comfy. Now, Cebu is not that big, and Cebu City is the central point, so is relatively easy to visit other places on the island, but the "city" is where the mongering spots are. If you want to stay at another place, check out early, just tell them you have an emergency and must leave. You pay your bill at the end of you stay anyway, not before. When that happens, I've never heard of any problem being charged for extra nights when you reserved for 7 or 8 but had to leave after 3 or 4. Lots of guys want to be near the airport (Mactan island) for their last night anyway.

Well, I've been reading about all the problems with using credit cards to book online. I tried booking PAL from SF to Manila and two cards were rejected. A Mastercard and Visa.
I called PAL and they said something about an authentification thing and lots of people are calling in and complaining and that I needed to call them and book with the agent and then they'd sent some email containing something I have to sign and fax back in and then they'd give me the internet rate.
WTF? I've never had a problem with my credit cards before. ! They need to do something about this. It doesn't appear to be a "Mastercard" or "Visa" thing.
Anything that can be done or that I should do?

Did you try alerting your credit card companies, in advance, that you were taking a trip to the Philippines? Their fraud prevention algorithms often block transactions which are not consistent with your typical charging pattern.

You might be able to get a real close quote that you get online by going through a bucket shop in the US. I've used Cost Less Travel in San Francisco, and you can pretty much do it on the phone with some email and faxing. Their prices are sometimes better than what I've seen on individual airlines' websites and definitely better than big travel websites like Expedia.
For a long time, PAL have had a policy of not taking online bookings. I don't know why, and nobody else can explain it.

One of the few things I like about PAL is it is easy to book online. I have had now problems with that.
Last time I took Cathay Pacific, just because their website price was 50% less than PAL's websites.
I would compare the price between the two.
Hi, guys. I’m planning a trip for a month from now and could use a recommendation. My current itinerary has me in Bohol for a few days, then the ferry back to Cebu City and a flight early the next morning. I figured it would make sense to just find a hotel on Mactan, rather than struggling into the city and back out. Would also give me a chance to check out the Lapu Lapu City clubs. Can anyone recommend a decent GF hotel close to the action?

Like many of the mongers here, I have had problems using credit cards to buy airfares over the intrnet. Most of my problems were with Visa.
Some airlines use verified by Visa as their checking mechanism. Over a period of time, I began to suspect that some or most of the problem lies in the fact that the information that I was giving over the internet may not be th same as that held by th bank that issued the card.
So a couple of day s ago, I went to the bank, explained the problem, and the operator called up my details.
Well, what a mess. Some words that should normally be written in lower case were written in upper case. The bank had gotten the name of the suburb wrong, left of part of the name. And the addrs was different t tht which I had given when filling out the original application. Some details had been abbreviated. So we fixed up most of the errors, and I now hav an exact copy of the details held in the computer at the bank.
I can understand why my transactions were terminated when there were so many diferences betewwn what I had input and what the bank held.
You might like to try this with your own card and report what you find.

This site has information that you won't find anywhere else. I will spend a few days in Manila before going to Cebu next year. So I guess it's best to book my flight to Cebu after I arrive in Manila. BTW I always inform my credit union when I'm going out of country to avoid problems with using ATM's in foriegn countries.

Maybe it is just me but I have booked online with PAL, Manila Cebu before using my credit card. On the day you just go along to the check in counter and they ask to see the credit card. Got an e-ticket, was no hassle
Maybe because am not based in the USA? And dont have a USA visa?
I am still having a little bit of trouble finding a hotel in Cebu City. The Richmond is price decent at 1500 pesos, I am willing to spend up to 2500 pesos, but the room photos for the Richmond look really cheesy.
The Marriott looks nice, but it is almost 4000 pesos a night. and I prefer to not give my ID and credit card anyway just as protection against any skullduggery by girls.

The Marriott looks nice, but it is almost 4000 pesos a night. and I prefer to not give my ID and credit card anyway just as protection against any skullduggery by girls.
Any other recommendations in the 2000-2500 peso price range?
Try the Golden Prince Hotel quoted me around that range recently. Or Castle Peak Hotel or Ford Inn (the latter has small FR from Gangles). Pricing of course depends on what you want. I need Internet in the room
Google for the web sites
