Henerson, what makes you think Z city would be more productive than Davao? Well, reading the posts here and elsewhere. One guy (I forgot who) saying that he picked up regular girls every time he went to the disco there.

As for chat rooms and pen pals, it's the time that it takes to weed out the gold-diggers and build up a relationship with a straight(ish) girl when you find her.

As for GE, It was after reading his many posts (here and elsewhere) that I decided to go to Davao.

I was a bit surprised though when I got there. The safety aspect has often been debated, but I found it completely safe, in fact, maybe too safe and hence a bit boring. There’s a local ordinance that all clubs must close by 2am which puts a big dampener on things.

I wandered around all the time in Downtown Davao, evenings, 2, 3, 4 o’clock in the morning and other than the occasional sales pitch from a SW (who looked too poor for me to be tempted) I was left alone. I must have looked very lost most of the time as well as for some reason I couldn’t get the layout of the streets clear in my head, so often walked in circles for ages.

What surprised me was that it was so much more provincial and third world than Manila and Cebu, where I had just come from. There wasn’t much entertainment. However, it’s pleasant enough if you just want a cheap place to relax and while away the days.

The girls all looked too young and provincial to me ( I like them in their late twenties/early thirties). I Stayed in Davao 5 days waiting for the weather to clear so as to make the over-ground trip to CDO, which it didn’t do. So I just had massages, used the apu view’s gym ( tiny but adequate and I think I was the only one to use it as it was hidden away) and in the evening went drinking with some of the local guys.

I did score with a waitress but that got boring after the second day. Maybe there were some hidden places that I didn’t know about. I made friends with some local guys but they were not very adventurous.

Remember there are many individual places other than Davao to monger, a thread dedicated to that would have to encompass Cagayan de Oro ( A GREAT mongering place) as well as some lesser know areas like Surigao city, Butuan, the Bukidnon region. Zambo city doesn't get much visitation due to its fearsome reputation, lotta people are scared Shitless of the Abu Sayeef (Who never get near the place). There are some low grade videoke's and KTV's there and LOTS of girls online looking for Mr. Right. A while back when the US forces began their joint exercises the Phils Govt declared all such places were to be off limits to American GI's as there was some concern over another Angeles City/Olongopo developing. My trip there revealed that this was universally igniored and many provincial princesses came to the "big" city to snag a GI. It was well worth the trip and many a lovely dark skinned lass did drop her knickers for a bit O' fencing with the Irish short sword.

Davao, a place I once called home, is not really a mongering city, nor is CDO or Zambo for that matter, not in the same regard as Angeles, Manila or even Cebu, primarily as there is little visitation from westerners it doesn't get the tourist/visitor influx the aformentioned do, ergo less posts. But If you do go such places you will be treated like a king, trust me. But Davao's strong point, like the rest of Mindanao is that you would go there to meet "wife or GF" material, it is best to start online. Spam Hog, I’m not into the commercial places like Burgos st. in Manila or Quezon City (I didn’t go to Angeles).

I like it when there’s not many other foreigners around (like Davao) and where GFEs abound.

You say that CDO is a great mongering place and then say it’s not?

As for Zamboanga, as you say that,“It was well worth the trip and many a lovely dark skinned lass did drop her knickers for a bit O' fencing with the Irish short sword” then that's another vote in it’s favour.

Any hotel recommendation? If Hendersen comes back alive, I might plan a trip there.X Man, you know, the older I get the less scared I get about anything. I’ve been to lots of places in different countries that I was warned against and, other then a few little episodes that were diffused by keeping a cool head, never had any trouble at all.

Here in my home town (London), I’ve had countless arguments and fracas driving or in pubs/clubs.

I would say there is far more aggression in the west than there is in Asia.

The only real thing to be scared of in life is fear itself, cos that stops you living a fulfilled life.

Let us not encourage the Angeles/Makati crowd to brave MUSLIM Mindanao, lest it go the way of Colombia (previously protected by its reputation for violence but now overrun by kooks).

The gal I was chatting with says not to worry in Z city ....since there are plenty of American military guys there.

Hmmm, so, there's competition?

I had a lot of fun drinking with some special forces guys while I was in abc city (city name omitted intentionally). They are a lot of fun, but not to be trifled with. The only thing that pissed me off is that every time I went to a bar after that the girls would ask me, "Where are your friends?" X

Gentlemen you are right, the Spamhog erred, smack me upside the head with rubber chicken, first I said CDO was a great mongering place then I say it isn't. Same with Davao. Lemme explain.

CDO IS a great mongering place "BUT* YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO, you can have a great time, it is CHEAP, THERE ARE LOTS OF GIRLS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD A FOREIGNER and LOTS OF REGULAR GIRLS looking to be your GF even if for the weekend. The vice and sin are NOT as commercialized as one would find in Burgos, Ermita, Makati, Angeles or running around in Osmena Circle bar clusters in Cebu. Those places are pretty much all night debacheries.

But CDO has its little cluster of bars, they also have a "Walking street" that is in the main part of town and Corridoned off around 8pm until midnight or so with outdoor beer bars, live bands, vendors selling all kinda food etc. LOTS of little honeys walking around smiling and saying "HI", a few freelancers here and there and (Be careful) a troup of Byot ladyboys who hang out by
the chow king. There are a few bars and discos where you WILL BE the center of attention. Excite disco is one, Mojo is another, in the later I was constantly flirted with. Yes there are a few go go bars where you can haul one out for the night. I beleive Bada Bing is still open, across the parking lot is a KTV and another club (can't remember the name) that features UBA UBA dancing (Strippers) you can VIP room 'em or barfine 'em.

DAVAO is pretty much the same, There is as MUCH commercial sex there as CEBU IMHO, Cheaper, more low key, BUT once again you have to know WHERE TO GO. I was never much of a one for bars, barfining and KTV's and the like. But by virture of living there I knew the varied establishments and locals for such. Yes going to "ground Zero" and sitting down for a coke I would see the "ladies in White" student nurses who would smile flirt etc. Shopping in the Mall the salesgirls would look a bit too long or some cutie going up the escalator would smile and raise her eyebrows, stuff like that.

One of the BEST places to meet "regular girls" is in the commercial internet cafe's, almost EVERY time I went to certain ones, I would see some honey
giving me the eye. standing over my shoulder trying to get my email, and several times I had one drop her cell phone number on my keyboard.

In BOTH of those locale's I had more opportunity to meet, interact with and know "regular girls" ie wife or GF material, many of them are looking for foreigners, there is a WHOLE ARMY of women in both places who are constantly on the chat lines, some are scamming but a lot are looking for Mr. Right. These girls are a different stripe than the Manila joy junks, even the GRO's, many of them have the manners, grace and heart of the legendary "good" Filipina.

Zambo city was a while back for me, I can't remember the name of the hotel, sorry, but I recall it was just P800 a night and "average". Your "average"
regular girl there is much onthe same order as what you would find in CDO or Davao, Zambo seemed to me more like CDO, however, GI's in buzz cuts very noticible and seemed to have an impact on the mongering situation like raising the prices. Girls are super sweet.

If you didn't pick up girls very often in Davao I wouldn't count on it being better in Zamboanga. Also, if you want to try other cities I would go to Cagayan or Dumeguete before Zamboanga.

I only went to Zambo once for 5 days and I had some good finds there. Also, I found it completely safe. But percentage wise Davao and also CDO and DGT have a higher density of hot, young things. Davao is just a much bigger city and so it has more and better places to meet girls. And after meeting them there are more and better places to take them out to. The other two have several colleges each so lots of student girlies. The game is all about numbers, giving yourself the best chance to meet the best and most girls the most often.

So if you go to Davao again you may try finding girls online ahead of time. Yes, it takes effort but it pays off. Also, I don't know how assertive you were when you were out hunting but you really do have to make your move. The girls are shy (meaning regular girls, not bargirls). They may make eye contact but the rest is up to you. If you see a chance don't let the moment pass.

Finally, one girl found in 5 days of by the seat of your pants hunting isn't necessarily bad, depending on how high your standards are. If you have no standards and any warm body is fine then you should find something within an hour. But if you're looking for someone that's just right then it's not so easy. I'm quite picky and I only find 1 or 2 girls like this in a week or so, although a lot of my time is taken up with girls that I got to know in advance.

Other things to remember for a short visit is that the day of the week is crucial. There are days (like Sunday) when most places are closed and almost nobody is out. Wednesday to Saturday is best. Also, the fact that places close at 2 doesn't really matter. Most girls worth having will start going home by then anyway.

Zamboanga can be just fine. But again, the more you get to know girls in advance the better. The girls there are really, really shy. And the town being smaller means that the girl's acquaintances WILL see you two together. So she needs to be the kind of girl that can shake off the gossip worries.

You can meet girls here cold turkey. But you could also strike out or have to settle for a plain Jane. As usual, internet cafes are a good place to try. There's only one real mall that I saw.

Safety isn't really an issue in the city. It may be a problem in the surrounding countryside. But I went to a beach 40 minutes outside of town with a family and they were perfectly relaxed about it. I never saw any US military. Maybe they're only there in any numbers when there's an exercise or a bad guy hunt.

I stayed in Garden Orchid Hotel. It's right by the airport and it has one of the possible pickup joints, the downstairs disco. But again the day of the week matters. It was only open on the weekend.

Hopefully you'll have a chance to get to all of these places and let us know your take on them. Get to know a girl in advance and have her meet you at the airport. You'll be glad you did.

Mahku & Spam Hog: Excellent observations and tips.

…There are a few bars and discos where you WILL BE the center of attention. Excite disco is one, Mojo is another, in the later I was constantly flirted with…Sounds good. I'll try CDO first then, that also puts me in striking distance of Camiguin. Is Camiguin only good if you have a girl with you?

Was it because I went during the day when the regular girls were working or were they the wrong internet places as they were all geared towards game playing?

Like you Mahku, I'm also very picky. Too picky probably- always looking for the one that stands out from the crowd.

Like you both say, there’s a very high percentage of girls from Mindanao on websites like AsianEuro and FilipinaHeart and they do look very GFE.

But how do you line up several girls from the same city and see them all?

If you don’t like one after the first day isn’t it hard to get rid of her? Remember you’ve already built up a relationship with her on the net so she now feels she’s your GF. And if she meets you at the airport then even more so. She will also know your hotel etc. And in a small place (like CDO) she or her friends are going to see you when you go the discos/clubs at night hunting after you've dumped her.

… Also, I don't know how assertive you were when you were out hunting but you really do have to make your move. The girls are shy (meaning regular girls, not bargirls). They may make eye contact but the rest is up to you. If you see a chance don't let the moment pass.You know, I was never sure of how forward I could be without running the risk of causing offence in a strict Catholic country. And the trouble is that they are all smiley and friendly all the time so I didn’t know whether that was a come on or them just being polite. After all. the guys are also very friendly and smiley and I’m sure that wasn’t come ons.

Other things to remember for a short visit is that the day of the week is crucial.You’re right there, Mahku, the beginning of the week was completely dead in Davao.

To combine a little girl hunting with your web surfing try some of the web cafes around Ateneo de Davao University. It's across from Marco Polo Hotel. On a weekday these places will be full of student babes in their uniforms.

If you want to avoid the game playing crowd go in the morning or early afternoon. There's a rule against school age kids being in net cafes during school hours. But there could still be college girls there between classes. Netopia seems to be particularly prone to be full of noisy gamers. I avoid it during weekends, when kids will be there all day.

Even though I mentioned about having the girl meet you at the airport it's not something I do very often. Usually I just do it if I only count on meeting one girl in that town and/or it's a short visit and I don't want to waste time.

I'm completely honest with all the girls I meet. If I'm meeting several girls in the same town (or in other cities) I tell them about each other. If they ask me whether I'm having sex with these other girls I tell them honestly. In my experience the girls are so happy that I'm honest with them that they're willing to overlook the fact that I'm a playboy. Also, this means that it doesn't matter if I'm seen with various girls, since I've already admitted what I'm doing.

Western men, God bless us, have been programmed to death by feministas into thinking that it's a capital offense just to ask a girl out or flirt with her. Try and deprogram yourself on the plane ride over. You don't have to worry about being too forward or causing offense as long as you're not hitting on someone in front of their boyfriend/husband. Also, don't pester shop girls for too long. Just leave a business card or something and in many cases they'll get back to you. Other than that, most girls will be flattered, even if they say no for some reason.

Having experienced how jealous the girls in PI were (and hey, all over the world too), that's amazing! But also really cool! Respect to you.

Thanks for sharing your insights Maku.

I shall try the honesty route. If nothing else, it will make me feel good.

I have joined AsianEuro and already received loads of messages. Now it's going to be a matter of time to do some weeding and friendship building.

And I will also try to deprogram myself :)

You’re right there, Mahku, the beginning of the week was completely dead in Davao.

You have to know when you are being flirted with, as Mahku pointed out, many of these girls will give you the opening, smiling, prolonged eye contact etc, also, it is the custom in Davao for girls to "brush" you with their long hair in close quarters like the Mall or something, old native superstition I'm told the mall but recognise the opening and the rest is up to you. Also, in some cases it might be a better idea to try and just get a phone number for follow up later, sometimes coming across too strong can scare them, particularly CDO/DAVAO girls who May not have had much contact with foreigners.

Some internets you might try are located along Recto street in Davao, and around the Apo Hotel and near Gaisano mal concentrate on smaller affairs, those with a lot of web cams or even private booth's are favored by the "chatters" these girls are bolder. The ones in the mall's the "netopia" chain can also be good and pay attention to the coffee outlets with public seats, girls often troll past to "look at the foreigners" (we're usually the only ones who can afford the prices.)

You can tell them anything you want, you can lie or be honest, the hustlers among them will spot BS in a second some will not care, some will. You can tell them you are here and dont have a permanent girlfirend or wife and if somebody strikes your fancy that is a posibility. I WOULD NOT "DUMP" them as you say, rather go your way on good terms and with her cell number so if ever you are back that way...who knows. Also you might be advised to switch hotels every so often, prevents one of 'em from showing up at inopportune moments.

No matter what you do they will probably find out, Davao, CDO has relatively less foreigners and these women have an intelligence system to rival ANYTHING the CIA has.

Good luck

yup, many Filipina girls KNEW Iraq had no WMD before the CIA did LOL!

If you monger in the same hotel where you non pro knows you are staying, you will get caiuyught 99% of the time. If you switch hotels, or use a ST hotel for meetings, you can reduce that risk BUT there are EYES & EARS EVERYWHERE!

The number of foireigners is small enough that you WILL stand out like a sore thumb, even in a BIG city like Davao. Try it in a smaller provincial city and you are almost guaranteed to be incapable of mongering without exposure.

DAY1

I arrived in Davao quite late (after 2 am) on Friday night. I took a taxi and went downtown to see what I could still find. At the corner of Recto and Palma Gil I saw some stunning girls which I would rate 7-8 on a scale of ten. I took one of them up a nearby lodge. 100 pesos for the room, 400 for the girl (locals get it at 200-300), and gave her a generous tip of 100 pesos afterwards. Fast, easy, and wholy enjoyable – total cost: $10!

Being satisfied, I then roam around, out of curiosity, to check the girls at other places on San Pedro and Legaspi Street. All I found, though, was the usual unattractive rating 4-5 girls that usually haunt the place. In front of the Apo view, a pimp, seeing I am not satisfied with the choice, tells me she knows of a place I can find really nice girls and off we go on a taxi out of town. She tells me not to worry (am not worried anyway) as the place is owned by the Vice-Mayor, whatever that means.

Contrasting with the moribund state of downtown Davao at 4am, we arrived at an open beach beaming with life, music, and hundreds of people. The pimp fetched a few girls for me and indeed they were really high quality, all of them student or regular girls. I was so enthusiastic about the place that I sent the pimp back in town with a tip of 300 pesos and started roaming around there on my own.

The place is called Bonguyan beach and though away from the town proper, is not really that far. I believe that area of Davao is called Matina. You can rent short-time bungalows right there on the beach for 325 pesos. Obviously, it’s awfully handy to take in the girls you would pick up from the dozen or so open air discos. The music is good. Techno or R&B. So it is pleasant to just stay there even if you don’t monger.

Going around, I saw a perfect rating 10 girl and started chatting with her. Being a regular girl, I was cautious not to advance too fast but told her that I will come back after renting a room. My idea was to invite her to it once I rent it. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for me to find where and how to rent the room (and none were available anyway) and by the time I came back, the girl was gone with her group of friends. Alas…

I continued to hop from bar to bar and enjoy the way these youth were dancing – more than sexy to frankly “obscene”. Walking on the beach, I then spotted a really cute rating 8 girl and started chatting with her. Her name was Jaye. Later on, two men that were standing nearby joined too. By the time I asked her if she wanted to come with me, she indicated one of the two men, saying it was her boyfriend and that she is now going home with him! I was a bit surprised at the easy-going way her boyfriend would take me talking to her girlfriend (Filipinos are usually a macho jealous type but this often seems to be waved if the erring fellow is a foreigner).

I kept on touring and enjoying the place until sunrise, and what a beautiful sea-side sunrise it was. It was already 6am and full day light when I met two delightful students, 18 and 19, who were quite eager to go with me. We thought of going to Queensland, a large short time hotel just next to the beach (300 pesos), but ended up in a much cheaper short time hotel just after Queensland (Twin H Beach Lodge), with clean rooms on the beach for just 100 pesos. The session with them two was delightful, as they really got into it. I gave 500 afterwards for the two of them (“for taxi”). They took my number, saying they had a lot of friends to present me, but in fact never called me. They also told me that I would find plenty of girls on “Bento beach” and “Angels beach”, but nobody (including many taxi drivers) ever heard of these when I enquired later on.

I then went to explore around that Queensland hotel. It’s really huge. Funny thing is that at the entrance you have a small golden David statue, completely nude. More surprising even, and in fact quite amazing, is that there is an immense version of the same David statue at the end of the alley, surrounded by a huge parking area and a Laguna. The statue must be at least 12-15 meters high, and the genitals of that statue are fully detailed. It almost slaps you in the face. The rooms at the back of the hotel have full-length windows and terraces giving on a beautiful garden and right on to the sea. The view is splendid. The rooms are clean and even have bathtub. Though they are to be rent by the hour, you can rent one for 24 hours at the price of 1,100 pesos. I decided to move there on the following day. For now, though, it was 7 am and I headed back to my hotel for a well-deserved morning sleep.

(I found a few shots of Baguyan beach at http://www.pbase.com/sfunk/image/58829047. You can see the giant David in the background of one of these shots.)

DAY 2

I wake up at around 1pm, just in time to get breakfast and check out from my hotel to move to Queensland. The view on the Queensland room is as I thought it would be, and you can fully open the window-door so you are basically outside on the garden and onto the sea. Delicious. (You need to take a second floor room as the ground floor rooms strangely have no windows). From the terrace, you can see and hear Bunguyan beach on the right. At that time of Saturday it is full of local families having fun.

The room has aircon, cable TV (with a porn channel), telephone, and a small separate dining area. However, though the location, view, size, and cleanliness of the room are perfect, I am somewhat disappointed with the maintenance. The aircon is noisy. The bathtub seems to be there for decoration only, as it is not linked to the water system! I am not sure if it is because it is too new or because someone has been that silly. The hot water is "under repair". The sink tab is leaking. The toilet flash works when it is in mood. The plants on the terrace are dead for lack of watering.

Ah well. TIP (This Is Philippines).

At around 5 pm I walk onto the beach. It is still buzzing with local families eating, playing, and singing out of tune. It is a 24 hours open beach. As darkness sets in, the public will gradually change.

Tomorrow, I’ll be a beach boy, but for now I use the remaining day light hours to explore what in Davao is called "The Boulevard" (M Quezon Boulevard). It stretches South-North along the sea from SM and the bus terminal, past Bolton Bridge, and all the way up to Santa Ana Warf, then onto Sasa (Super ferry port) and the airport.

I get off the jeepney at a place called Anitaf lodge. I like the lodges. They are cheap and they sometimes have girls hanging around. This one is right below some church denomination, but in this split-Christian country it really means nothing and, indeed, it is a standard short time hotel – 50 pesos for three hours. Nobody seems really shocked about the fact that right below praying knees people have a go at it, boom-booming and yum-yuming.

No sight of girls, though, so I ask the man at the entrance: "chicks? ", and he tells me to go the Magsaysay Park after 8 pm. It is 5. 45 pm so I decide to pre-explore the park. By the time I arrive it is 6. 15 pm and already dark. The park is open from 5 am to 7 pm. Nothing but normal activities inside. The East side is a pleasant sea-side promenade.

I try to kill the time by exploring further up into Santa Ana warf on the side of the park. There’s a couple of karaoke bars with rating 4-5 girls insides. There are also quite a few dive shops (Carabao dive, Waves dives.). There’s a few dark streets on the side leading onto the warf and I sit down there with a young couple. She is 18 and stopped college to work as a stock keeper. He is 16 and still schooling. They plan to get married in 8 years. More likely, he will make her a child then run away. The mother of the girl will take care of the child while the girl will start dancings in gogo bars to support the kid, all the while telling her mother she works as a waitress. TIP.

I am now hungry and don’t really want to wait until 8 pm. I hop onto a Jeepney and head for De Bonte Koe restaurant. I get down in front of Marco Polo to walk the rest of the way. In so doing, I pass again by the Recto/Palma Gil corner. Even though it is now much earlier than yesterday, the same girl is there again.

My God, is she beautiful! She wears a pretty shiny orange T-shirt over her slim body and, recognizing me, greets me with a white-teethed joyful smile, cutely hoping in expectation. How could anyone resist? What is more, she has two friends with her that are about as attractive.

I don’t want to make my choice there in the street so I take the three of them up in the lodge. There, I decide to take one of her friend instead, for a change, and give her and the other friend 50 pesos tip each in compensation. They are really happy with it. It’s amazing how for these people 50 pesos (one dollar! ) really IS money.

I am also surprised to discover that the girl I chose is the same girl I saw in front of the lodge last year. She has barelly changed at all. Did she attend customers every day here for a year? What a life. Though I am happy to be able to use the services of these girls, I can’t help feeling somewhat sorry for them. I guess, however, that it is still better than to sit at the back of a stinky dark cockroach- and rat-infested shanti house having nothing to give five kids for lunch. Everything is relative.

After a very nice, unique, session with this cute and delicious girl, I resume my journey in search of the elusive De Bonte Koe restaurant. On Palma Gil, though, I see the famed "Hot Legs". This, in fact, is Hot Legs 1. Hot Legs 2, previously Stag Club, being on San Pedro. I sit inside to watch a couple of rating 5-6 girls "dance" on the stage, while a couple of others lead me into the fabulous what’s-your-name, where-are-you-from conversation. Boring. Before they have a chance to get me in their over-priced under-furnished "VIP" room, I pay my bill and escape into the lobby of the nearby Royal Mandaya hotel. There, I quietly check my Davao map at the sound of a syrupy violin. Once oriented, I hit the street again and finally arrive at De Bonte Koe compound. Funny anecdote, in front of the compound are two 10 years-old flower-selling girls but one is much smaller than the other. When I point out to them this discrepancy, they tell me that the reason is that one is waking up at 4 am, while the other is waking up at 6 am. LOL. Awfully cute. And so TIP!

The service and ambiance at De Bonte Koe is good. In fact, the whole compound is high class and certainly adds a cachet of distinction to Davao. Lots of expats and rich Filipinos inside. Billionaires and local elites conversations. Who bought a 100 houses. Who gave the best advise to the Vice-President. Outside sits Henny with another expat and a beautiful local woman. I am thinking this might be GE but of course don’t dare to ask. The food was good though still with a Filipino arriere-gout. I could not help but taste the De Bonte Koe Dutch hot pie dessert. Delicious!

On the way to Flanagan I try to enter 183 on Rizal street, only to be refused entry because I am not wearing closed shoes (I hate that kind of dress code snobism but then that’s TIP, or maybe not, this time). I look through the window of 183 and am comforted by the fact that I really don’t miss anything.

Flanagan is a typical Irish pub. Did not get to speak to anyone but noted the curtain behind which the Slayer had the deed.

Walking out of Flanagan I get to the Apo View corner and look for the nice pimp who led me to discover Bunguyang, but wala. Further up is Casa Leticia Hotel. Nice lobby. I check the Deluxe and Executive rooms, the Presidential suite being occupied. Not bad, but, for a similar price, in no way compares to Marco Polo. Not only is Marco Polo on par with Shangri-La level, it also has a local antique cachet that makes it unique. If you are lucky enough to get it at 2, 500, that’s a truly great bargain.

I then go further up the street and check on the convenience store, or ground zero. It really is just that, a convenience store, with local Filipinos and Filipinas sitting at it. I fail to see what’s so special about it, though it does have a certain charm. Of course you can strike up a conversation there, but so can you at any other places where locals are sitting, including seven elevens.

Better even, try to befriend an English-speaking smart Filipino you can trust (good luck), and he will do the contact for you at any kind of places where you see a girl you fancy. In the worst case, he will get a slap in the face (rarely if ever happens). In the best case, he will be able to arrange for you girls you will never be able to get otherwise, with the advantage that it’s much more discrete than a tall and visible foreigner speaking to a local girl. The trick, of course, is to find that type of guy, which is why I don’t limit my contacts to local girls only but also strike up conversations with guys when they initiate them.

By now I am seriously exhausted so hop onto a taxi to explore the rest of the city. Moto and taxi drivers often referred to the "Central Bank" as a place where I could get chicks. Dunno where that is, so I ask the taxi to lead me to it. As you exit Camus street, you turn right on Quirino, then later on left before the Shell station. That’s the place.

A cloud of several girls approaches the car. There must have been something like 30-40 girls in the lot. They are more attractive than what is pimped on San Pedro and Legaspi Street, and one of them is a real cute stunner which I would have taken on the spot had I not been exhausted and had I not already emptied my load, not to speak about the fact that I was keeping some reserve in case I meet again the perfect rating 10 girl at the beach. The taxi goes a bit further down the road and there’s another cloud of girls. Maybe 20 of them this time, and slightly less attractive. A few meters down the road and there stands a third cloud of girls, maybe 10, and by now standard of San Pedro. They seem to be grouped in descending quality. The 6-8 rated girls in the first group, then the 5-6 ones, and finally the 4-5 ones. Or maybe it was just by chance. By all means, plenty of girls to chose from, and sometimes more, like this large Filipino man standing among the girls in the 3rd cloud and offering his all-the-way services! LOL!

The taxi then proposes to take me to Victoria Mall. Why not? On the side of the mall, in the parking lot, are a few girls too. One of them is a rating 7, and a possible futur choice. Lastly, the taxi takes me to a place near Venue, called Cogot. 4 or 5 girls sit there and approach the taxi as it honks. That’s it for that driver. He has no more places to show me, and I don’t like Casas.

Now is a good time to check Magsaysay park again. Towards the end of Magsaysay avenue, near the park, are a couple of girls – frankly ugly, 2-3 on a scale of ten, but again the pimp claims to have better girls near the park so hops into the taxi to guide us. We go to a corner where people sit on the other side of the street where the park is. The one girl there is just a rating 6, and the rest were all gone by that time (must have been 10. 30 pm already). Nothing in front of the closed by now park either, so I tell the taxi to take me to Bunguyan.

On the way to Bunguyan, the taxi slows down at the entrance of Bolton bridge, a small area of grass where he claims girls stands sometimes, but it was green empty. Later on, in front of SM, he turns left towards a place called Times beach, but it was closed. He also checked a series of karaoke clubs with quite a few people in front of the main bus terminal but there was nothing attractive on the street and I did not take time to check what was inside, as by now I really wanted to get back to my favorite spot in Davao.

It was now 11. 30 pm, and the ambiance at Bunguyan really picked up, with the whole public type renewed. No more out-of-tune singing families but plenty of young lads and girls dancing, drinking, and laughing at the pulse of the night. This time, I start by renting a room on the beach, to be ready for any opportunity.

It’s easy to hop from one open musical hut to another. They don’t hassle you for drinks (which I buy on a shak outside the discos anyway then carry with me), and though the hut is usually filled with people, it’s easy enough to find some place to sit, listen, admire, and usually be talked to. You make way more interesting encounters than in the bars! Some are students, some are musicians, some are just doing nothing but somehow still got money to waste.

Of course, as yesterday, I am the only foreigner around and something of an attraction. After a while, though, they get used to it, and so do I, and soon enough I move around as if I owned the place, with people smiling and waving at me. I stay in each hut as long as I like the music, and when I don’t, I move to another hut. It’s impossible to just scan the girls by walking around as there really are too many people. You need to spot check several places by staying a while, and I use the music to guide me. This way, even if I don’t find anything of interest, I am still enjoying it.

Around 2 am I get tired and decide to take a rest. Rather than my room on the beach, I go to my room in Queensland next door, the reason being that if I can’t sleep, I can still rest while working my laptop.

On the way, I have another stunning surprise. The parking lot and laguna around the giant David is now filled with hundreds of cars, motorbike, jeep, bicycle – and hundreds of people near and between them – some of the vehicules whether a van or a jeep or even a bicycle, utter disco, techno, are&be music. Some louder than others, depending on the type of installation they have. The ambiance is kind of out-of-this-world. The whole place is alive!

In spite of being rather tired, I walk around and between the cars and onto the laguna. Tons of people. However, I observe that there aren’t that many girls. The crowd is mostly young men, and it occurs to me that it may be a popular gathering spot for gays. Well, what do you think? With the type of statue that is on display there, that would hardly be surprising! In fact, on the Bunguyan beach too there are a some gays and "bacla", but they are a minority and not too much of an annoyance, even though you will get sollicited from time to time. I always take their presence as a good sign, because where they are, are usually also the "IN" spots.

I rest in my room and relax on my terrace, with the pulsating rythme of music and laughters coming fom the beach on the right, and coming from the parking lot on the left, and the fresh sea breeze coming right inside the room. WOW, this is really TIP! .

When replenished of energy, I get back to "my" beach. It is then that I noticed a group of lovely ladies and remembered them as being together with my perfect rating 10 yesterday! I get very interested and hopeful, but she would never re-appear:.(

One girl in the group, however, is a rating 9, and she would be a nice substitute to my lovely rating 10. I am trying to make eye contact with her, but she don’t seem to be interested. There’s a couple of men with them too, for about 5 to 6 girls. Next I am trying to get in touch with the rating 8 in that group, but with no more success. Later on, however, I manage to get into contact with the rating 7 of the group, and, through her, I finally manage to speak to the whole group. Next thing I know, the rating 9 is sitting at my table and ready to go to my room! My. Wow. Bingo!

It was still dark when we entered the beach bungalow, which I finally got to use. It was full day light when we exited. In the meantime, I realized nothing of that climate change, so entangled was I in the harms and legs of my rating 9 – in all kinds of imaginable positions. On top of being a 9, she also was hot!

By then, it was 7 am again. I gave the girl 500 for services and another 200 as tip, then moved back to my hotel room for another well-deserved morning sleep, this time at the sound of the humming coconut leafs, smell of sea breeze, and warmth of the first sun rays.

DAY 3

Sunday was a beautiful total blue sky dream sunny day. As I woke up around 12, I could see from my terrace the jubilant activities on the beach, and the shiny white reflection of the sun on the water. This was a perfect time to enjoy a day under the sun. I put on my swim short, a colorful beach shirt, took a towel, my wallet and my camera, then walked to the beach. There, I rent a bungalow to keep my valuables safe and went for a swim.

The public by now was almost exclusively local families with children. At the far end of the beach, a group of children and adolescents greets me with wonderful smiles and shouts of “welcome to the Philippines”. I was to meet them again later on into the sea, as they enjoyed back jumps from the rocks. There, we engaged into some conversations.

They were a group of friends and neighbors from nearby Matina, and were coming together for a swim every Sunday. The girls were 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 17. The boys 9, 14 and 15. Their English was surprisingly good and the conversation was easy. They were curious about my life, and I was curious about theirs. The conversation was innocent and joyful, interrupted by laughter, jokes, and more jumps into the sea. It was pleasant to sit on a rock there under the sun, half immerged into the sea, speaking with these smiling, beautiful, and cheerful youth.

After a long while, I went back for a swim, or rather a float. Indeed, the slope is extremely mild, and you can get really very far into the sea while still keeping contact with the ground (made of sand, so no unpleasant or sharp stones). Even children can easily keep their head out of the water far into the sea. In fact, I never reached a point where I could not touch ground. I did not encounter such a phenomenon since the Dominican Republic, on a beach known for this fact. This makes for a very good experience among the locals. They can really enjoy playing far into the sea, as many of them cannot swim anyway.

What is more, because the water is so shallow, and the sun so un-interrupting, the water is hot. It really is hot. Floating there on one’s back under the sun and in hot water is therefore a delightful experience. I abused so much of it that I got a serious sun burn at the end of the day.

Back on the sand I stayed with my new-found friends. They were having their pick-nick under the hut (the huts are on pillories), while I was delightfully drying under the sun. I offered to buy them soft drinks. At first they did not want to accept, but under the influence of the smaller kids who were eager for it, they eventually did, and they cherished this one bottle of coke as a precious souvenir.

Later on, they went back to play on the sand, while I stayed there under the sun. It was a nice time. Added to the already very pleasant sun, was the personal sun of their smiles, lively laughter, blissful games, and careless innocence.

This really is a great place to be. By day or by night you can really enjoy yourself. No need to travel all the way to Samal islands to enjoy a day at the beach, or to go to expensive bars in town at night to get the girls. You can find everything you need in just one place, and if you want to dive, Santa Ana Warf, from where you can easily start on diving trips, is not that far.

Last year I spent a week-end at Pearl Farm, and even though I paid something like $100-150 a day, I did not enjoy myself as much as I did now for a mere $5 (and that’s if you rent a bungalow, otherwise the beach, by day or by night, is free. There isn’t even an entrance fee).

By 5 pm I went back to my hotel. It has a coffee shop, called "mon bebe". Even though the coffee shop is equipped with very expensive coffee machinery, they were unable to make a simple cup of coffee. They offered all kind of variations (Espresso, Americano, Cappuccino, etc.) but nothing like a straight European-style coffee. The espresso they managed to make was almost undrinkable. TIP.

I was tired by my beach adventures, especially the sun burn, so I rested a long time in my room. It was only around 8 or 9 pm that I managed to make it out from the hotel again. I needed to go in town to print my electronic ticket. I wasn’t sure were to go but I knew where the NCCC Mall was, so I tried there. By that time, however, it was closed. As I was now hungry, I decided to try the food at Flanagan and later on look for an internet cafe.

There were a couple of expats at Flanagan, and I got to speak to one Canadian. He lost his fortune to his ex-Filipina wife, who went away with the money he invested in the Philippines under her name. Never invest in the Philippines more than you can afford to lose. The girl per se may not be dishonest but the loyalty to her family is so strong that often what she does is not really her decision. However, there are also examples of successful expat businesses and marriages, so this is not a rule cast in stone.

After eating my meat pie (what else would you ever want to eat in an Irish pub?), I resumed my search of one lone internet café where I could print my ticket. Starting from the corner of Apo View, all the way down Legaspi Street, then all the way down San Pedro Street, I could not find anything. Maybe I did not look well enough. Maybe I was distracted by the few rating 3-5 girls hanging around on a Sunday night. On the way, I checked out Hot Legs 2 and Itmay, just to confirm to myself that I am bored to death in such places.

Turning on Recto after the Town Hall, I finally found one open internet café. I literally had to prevent the attendant, trying to help me, to touch the printer before I could make it work. The printer was an old needle impact type. I seriously had to scratch my memory, trying to remember how these things work, but eventually managed to print a barely legible version of the ticket. I could now concentrate on less mundane things.

Though I was already on Recto, I was hesitant to proceed to my favorite spot on that street. I wanted to consecrate my last night in Davao in search of my perfect rating 10 on the beach. I was afraid that if I proceeded further down the road, I may be tempted again and lose some strength. I went anyway. I am weak. And I am curious. As I arrived, however, I was surprised to find nothing at all. There were a couple of girls there, but they were a rating 3 or worst. As I would observe later on again, Davao is pretty much dead on a Sunday night.

The same taxi that drove me to this place on the first night was there again. “Hey, man, why did you not call me?” I jumped in and checked several other spots, only to find pretty much the same story everywhere (though I did not check on the Central Bank and therefore cannot vouch for that). In addition of the usual spots, the taxi took me to two new places: Carpenter Street, near Magsaysay, and Seagull Beach, really far off town, much farther than Bunguyan – only to find it closed.

It was thus back to Bunguyan. At first, I thought it was the same story there as well. As you enter, there is a portion on your right, and a portion on your left. The portion on the right was pretty much dead, with only a handful of people, and they were gays. I thought,”Oh no, it’s dead on Sunday here too?” But then, as I proceeded to the left portion, I had the good surprise to find pretty much the same ambiance as the previous days again… This really aught to be the liveliest spot in the city, alive even though all the rest is dead… It was worth renting a room in advance, which I did.

I was in for yet another surprised, as I saw someone enthusiastically waving at me. It was Jaye, the rating 8 girl I met on the first day, and who could not come with me because her boyfriend was there. This time, she was without her boyfriend. She invited me at the table of her group of friends. I did not stay long. I did not like the music and it was so loud you had to shout to barely make yourself hear. I hate that. One of her friends was constantly begging me to buy this and that, which I did not like either. It was too early to take the girl to my room and I was still hoping to meet my dulcinee again. So I told her I’ll come back later and went away.

I checked the other huts but had to resign myself to never see my perfect rating 10 anymore. At least, not this time around. Later on, I reached the point where I needed to take a rest, so I headed back to my hotel. Contrary to yesterday, the parking lot was empty. I slept and only woke up at 3 am.

There was only one hour left before the rent time of my bungalow on the beach expired, and before I should start to get ready for the airport, as my plane was at 7 am. I reviewed in my head several girls I saw on that night, to decide which one I would pick for my last fuck. I decided for Jaye. Not only was she a cute 8-rated 19 years-old girl, there seemed to be quite some chemistry going on between us so I expected some GF dimension as well. As I would find out later, it was a perfect choice!

She was still there as I got back and again she frantically waved at me, asking me where I had been. I told her I have been resting in my room and asked her if she wanted to join me. She very quickly agreed, but confessed she needed some money. Anticipating she would ask for a 1,000, I proposed to give her 300. She said 500 and I agreed. She seemed surprised that I agreed to that amount, but visibly pleased. She asked me to give the money to her best friend on the next chair, which I did, but I told her I would also give her some extra tip. I usually never pay in advance, and if I have to I only pay a fraction of the total amount and the rest later. In the present circumstances, that kind of negotiations were not appropriate, so I promised some extra tip to retain some appeal, just in case.

She unexpectedly turned out to be a real gem.

As soon as we were in the room, she confessed that she had been dying to go with me from the day we met. I was so “mabait” (gentle), and I had such a nice nose, and was so “gwapo” (handsome). I don’t know if she was sincere but she really seemed to be, and she kind of proved it later in action. She also wanted to be my girlfriend. Though I was tempted (she had a nice character and spoke fluent English), I really could not afford the time to stay longer in Davao. She also told me that it was the first time she would do that (go with a foreigner or maybe someone else than her boyfriend, I don’t know). I believed her on this one.

I proceeded to undress her. I like to sit on the bed, having the girl in front of me, and slowly discover and kiss various parts of her fresh body as I undress her. As I proceeded to remove her cute little panty, I was in for a surprise. No, it’s not what you think. She wasn’t a boy. The surprise was that she had a completely hairless pussy. I asked, “Do you shave”? No. She doesn’t. It’s just like that. There really was no mistake, though, that she was 19.

Back in Manila I enquired with some local friends about it. They said that it can happen, it’s a natural phenomenon. They added that this kind of girls are particular passionate in sex – something I was indeed to observe for myself.

She would not BJ, as she did not like it. It was ok for me, as the girl really needs to like it for it to be enjoyable. Through her tender French kissing, in which I could feel she really did like me, and through other tender care, my dick was all set and hard as rock. She put on the cap (she previously let me choose to fuck her with or without condom!), then asked, while sitting on me, “ARE YOU READY?”

Ready? No, I was not ready for what was to happen! She slowly introduced my stiff dick inside her, and through sensual movements slowly let it in and out of her. It was delicious. There’s something special about a hairless pussy rubbing your wilily. She then leaned back, sustaining herself backward with her hand on the bed, and started to pump hard, banging her extremely firm and fresh bump on to my balls. Woooooooooooooooooo. This was heaven. She kept on pumping and banging for sometime, while I lost all sense of time and space, and pretty soon I spread my semen for the last time in Davao, in Davao’s very entrails!

This was such a unique experience that I am all enticed again writing about it.

Back home in Manila, it took me several days to recover from this week-end. A week-end I will not soon forget!

Great reports Denom. The only other reports I've ever heard about Davao beaches was that the night crowd was dangerous. I wonder if that person was just trying to keep a good thing to himself.

I will say that the beach pic didn't look nearly as nice as the white sand beach at Paradise Resort on Samal island. Also, the Davao City beaches were considered unsafe for most of 2006 because of bacteria. Did you see any floaters?

http://sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2007/02/10/city.beaches.now.safe.for.bathing.html

The other thing I notice is that Denom had a very early arrival in Davao -- apparently from Manila. The Cebu Pacific flights can be very cheap if you don't mind a sunrise flight.

I do not believe the crowd is dangerous in the least. At no point did I ever felt threatened. Quite on the contrary I felt safe and very welcome.

I did not see any police presence but there certainly are soldiers in arms and uniform. They mix among the crowd. Sometimes you have to fight with them over a bungalow, LOL. The beach really is owned by Louie Bunguyan, the Vice-Mayor. Protection must be good.

I read the post you refer to and it also mentions drugs. I did not see nor smelled the least trace of drug, nor was I proposed any at any stage. Not to say that there aren't any but I did not get the impression the crowd was one of drug addicts - mostly youth trying to have fun.

I don't know if the author of that post referred to Bunguyan or to another beach. The only two other beaches I got to see were Times beach and Seagull beach, and both were closed - maybe due to the success of Bunguyan beach. There may be other beaches with a night scene, though, I don't know.

As for the sand, it indeed isn't white sand, and it certainly does not look as appealing as the pics of Paradise resort, but it is sand alright, pleasant enough to walk and lay down for sun bathing. I also found the beach reasonably clean, unlike, say, Baloy beach in Subic.

The water seemed clean enough to swim and to float and was basically the same type of water I saw in many many other parts of the Philippines. Haven't seen any floaters but I did not look for them either. Again, it isn't Phi Phi Island or Bora-Bora, and I am sure better water can be found at other spots of the Philippines. I would not advise the place for a romantic escapade. It just is a convenient place to be in the night life context and kill the time of day. I also like to mix with the local crowd, and for this it is a great spot.

I arrived by boat and the boat was late, which explains the timing. The boat was supposed to arrive at 7 pm! TIP!

Denom...hope you can tell us more about ferry transportation. I usually go by plane because of limited time, but would love to do the ferry trip one of these days.

XIt is really worth doing, and I was lucky that the sea was perfectly quiet and the sky clear and sunny. Views while getting away from Manila, view of the passing islands, the feeling of cruising through the sea (stupendous), beautiful sunsets and sunrises, Milky Way and falling stars. On the new boat at least the Suite is comfortable (don’t take anything below or you will regret it). It also is in front of the boat, with terrace. Ample sleeping room, dining area, bathroom with a (small but comfortable) bathtub, cable TV, and fridge. Get the Smart or Globe mobile internet connection and you’ve got internet on your laptop most of the time because the ship is never very far from a shore. The price is practically the same for one or two persons so it’s worth taking someone with you as it makes for a very romantic trip. Not easy to meet girls on the boat as they usually travel with the family or in group, but still possible, especially if you invest some time into it. The food isn’t good, though, so not worth taking the package with food. Better bring your own, though they do have a restaurant. Check everything as you take possession of the cabin and make them fix what needs to be fixed (there will be for sure, TIP). I had a most delightful three days experience navigating all the way down to Davao, with about an hour escale at Iloilo and General Santos. Highly recommended – but you also need to be a bit lucky with the weather.

It's actually reading about the ferry in his forum that I had the idea, LOL, and I checked the website (http://www.superferry.com.ph/). As it turned out they had a half-price promotion just in the period I planned to go to Davao anyway, and only one Suite left. It was just too tempting - et je ne regrete rien :-)

first let me commend denom for his excellent report on davao. i know most of the places you mention, i would add that seagull resort and the area stretching to queensland (st motel) is known as "matina aplaya" (beach). there is also a riding stables down there and a small rather private beach behind it. this area is slated for development al la resort class, probably due to the monied owners of seagull, queensland etc. you no doubt noticed the squatter area, perhaps you also saw the bajao (boat people) nearby. they are being 'relocated" at a rapid rate. some time ago an open sewer near seagull was closed off and diverted into a canal further south.

i would recommed, denom, that you avoid the women in magsaysay park. they are the notorious "akhyat barko" ship hoppers, who ply their trade to visiting seamen in nearby santa ana wharf, they have a high disease rate.
there are a lot of glue snifing 'rugby boys' and shabu heads that frequent the area, they usually do not not mess with a foreigner but they might. the same with recto street closer to hot legs and galleria. also caution!!!!! many of the street hookers (like the crowd you saw near central bank) are ****!!!!!

xman, i've ridden a number of ferries from and to davao, leaving and going to cebu the ride is a senic one past the lightly populated area of east mindanao
up through surigao. ditto for the ferry to and fron cdo/cebu. transasia is my favorite as the rear quarter deck is an open area with snack bar which they show movies, some times have a live band etc. i've also heard about guys meeting traveling filipina's and getting lucky, plenty of 'em aboard.

regards all

Thanks, Spam Hog!

The squatters and boat people may already be relocated cause I don't remember any, or maybe I have not paid attention to them. I saw the stables indeed a bit further up the road. I was told that Seagull beach is owned by the EX-Vice-Mayor. It stays in the family, and indeed there's a lot of money involved. Queensland is building many new big annexes, and the area around the giant David is being developed at a cost of 16 millions+ (there's a sign to that effect). Am curious to see what it will become in a few months/years time.

Thanks also for the cautionary advice. One indeed needs to keep all these factors in mind. Never hurt to be extra cautious!

So that’s the other side to Davao?

I was there at the beginning of January this year and had quite different experiences to yours.

I stayed at the apo view, which was fine even though I changed rooms twice due to noise and spent a total of 5 days there. Like you I arrived on a Friday and not realizing that the place was pretty dead Sunday to Wednesday, didn’t really make the most of the weekend. I like wondering around at all times of the day, night and morning but for me the high points were the excellent massage parlours (straight, no sex offered) such as shiatsu II and shiatsu III, one round the corner from the apo view and the other down the road. At 200PHP per hour I ended up having 3 a day!

Otherwise I found Davao a bit boring. I too like to mix with the locals and I too have just about had enough of places like Hot Legs and their extortionate prices. I made friends with a group of local guys but they weren’t the adventurous sort. They were happy to go out drinking and get drunk. When I badgered them into going somewhere more exciting they could only come up with expensive Karaoke bars which I wasn’t going to go for. A chamber maid told me about a club called station 21 (or something like that) but when I mentioned it to the guys they refused to even consider going there saying that we would get involved in a fight straight away! No one mentioned a beach like yours.

I also liked De Bonte Koe, but more for the extremely sweet waitresses and very friendly proprietor.

A couple of times I asked a taxi driver to take me somewhere where the locals go for an exciting time. One took me to a short time motel which had a fishbowl and about 8 girls (2-5 in looks) and the other took me to some very basic Casa with totally un-tempting women (1-4 in looks).

Some of the SWs looked ok-ish but they also look too poor and possibly unhealthy. Then again, maybe I was just getting influenced by the guys I was hanging out with telling me they were all diseased.

One early morning coming back from another 3am massage, I came across this pretty girl sitting and half wrapped around the foot of a lamppost in the light rain. She seemed somewhat spaced out from some type of drug but she did have a sultry/hungry/ seductive look on her. Our eyes locked in that surreal environment- we were the only two people around, dark poorly lit streets, lightly raining - just like something out of a film. There was total naked hunger and lust in her eyes and mouth that seemed to promise a night of anything goes. Or maybe she was just hungry for food and shelter. I very nearly gave in to my desires but then my inner voice asked me if I were really that crazy and I walked on.

I only got laid there once. That was to a regular girl that worked in one of the bars. She wasn’t really my type but the guys I was with basically pushed us both together. I thought what the hell and in fact it was ok-ish the first night. However, I did seem to really offend her by insisting on wearing a condom. Everywhere in the PI it was the usual fight to get to use the damn condoms.

Things changed for the worst on the second day ( maybe I was too nice to her by buying her a phone to replace the one she had lost and going with her to see her parents and child) and she started acting like a boring 50 year old as opposed to her 23 years. So I called it a day.

I had never heard mention of the beach you talk about in Lonely Planet or even Jens Peters’ guide. The weather was pretty foul when I was there so not really beach going weather. I wonder whether there would still have been night-life there?

I wasn’t going to go back to Davao but after hearing your account wonder if I should change my mind. I’m still in contact via email with one of the guys there who has offered to put me up on my next trip. Maybe I’ll go on the ferry as you recommend.

Well done on that excellent report. It goes to show how two people can have very different experiences. And also how the weather can affect the experience too.

What a truly exceptional report!

Thanks, Henderson!

I think too that I’ve been lucky to discover this beach – otherwise I may have had an experience similar to what you describe.

I knew there was an happening beach before going because it was mentioned shortly in this forum, but I was not sure what to think of it. In fact, on the same taxi that brought me to Recto on the first night I asked about activity at night on the beach and he said it was Times beach and that at that time, past 2am, it was closed. That it was closed is true, but it wasn’t Times beach. He either did not know about Bunguyan or for some reasons did not want me to go there.

The girl who brought me there was also worried when she learned that I wanted to stay there on my own. She only brought me there for me to pick up a girl but did not expect me to stay there on my own. She kept on saying that because “your skin is white, that’s why I am worried for you to stay there”. As I said, however, I fail to see the reason why one should be worried. Of course, one should always use common sense, but that goes without saying

When she stepped in the taxi to lead me to the place, I did not know where she was taking me, and that it was a beach. Only that it was a place where, according to her, there were nice girls. You may also say that it is not common sense to go out of town in the middle of the night with strangers, especially street pimps, but my feeling, sharpened by many years of experience in Asia and the Philippines, told me that in this particular case it was OK.

To this day I am grateful to her and if I had met her again when I was looking for her, I would have given her extra tips and possible take her to be my “agent” of sort to get more girls. I looked for her two times on Legaspi Street in front of Apo View but she wasn’t there.

One needs to be lucky also in choosing his local friends and advisors. Not all of them know about the scene or are particularly gifted to speak with the girls. If I don’t meet one who knows what he is talking about, possibly even has contacts, as well as a minimum of tact, I'd rather be on my own. It can be quite a waste of time to hang with locals who are not really in the known. They would even make up stories that, upon verification, are not true or are exaggerated. This is valid also in other areas. In the Philippines I never believe anything I hear until I can check it for myself, or at least cross-check the information.

When I first was in Davao, must have been a couple of years ago or what, the taxi also took me to Casas but, like other Casas I have seen, I did not like it either. Nor do I usually like the girls in fish bowls. Their idea of beauty is to plaster tons of white stuff and other thick make-up on their face. They effectively spend a lot of time and effort to make themselves ugly - speaking from a purely personal perspective, of course. So I tell the taxi right at the start not to bring me to any of those. Again, some drivers don’t know much, or only the obvious, others know places hard to find on one’s own.

For that matter, a tricycle or pedicab is sometimes more handy as they are closer to the street and the people. I had one in Catloban, Leyte, that was quite good. He would up front ask any pretty regular girl on the street if they wanted to go with me. Surprisingly the girls did not seem particularly shoked, even when they refused. I eventually scored girls quite at odd with what was to be found in the local karaokes. This is also the only way I could find a nice girl in Boracay, a fine (albeit crowded) beach but not a very easy mongering place. Another tricycle in Calapan, Mindoro, arranged with the security guard at the University to get me a cute student in need of schooling fee…

Now, of course, many of these tricycle and pedicab drivers will just look at you bluntly, if they understand English at all, so again it takes some digging to find the right guy. If you are so lucky, though, you’ll find something decent to monger in the driest of places.

Am not sure how long Bunguyan has been in existence or how long the night life has been going on there. It’s true that it isn’t the type of white sand beach and clear water that would appeal to tourists in search of tropical paradises, and I never read about it before either. All I read about until now were Paradise Resort, Pearl Farm, and Tallikud Island.

If you go to Bunguyan, good luck and let us know the result :-)

Henderson and Denom both deserve "attaboys" for their reports. Bunguyan beach is rather new, mostly known to Filipinos coz it is cheap. It seems like everybody and his brother want to go to Paradise Island, and all the places out on Samal like blue water etc. I used to go out to Telikud Island and my favorite place was isla Rita resort. All white sand, problem is you are gonna spend (back a 2+ years) P3000 IF you take a private banca charter. If not you can get the ferry (It was canceled two years ago but may be back in operation now) to Telikud, Sat and Sunday only however. There are lots of little resorts on the Davao side that fill up with families on the weekends, cost is P15 or P20 to get in. You can go out to "victoria park" which is a little better, you will likely see the same thing, black sand, dead fish washing up on shore, floating garbage in the water and loads of Filipinos drinking P8 a bottle red horse beer.

Your overall impressions about Davao are right, there is Little to do there and if you don't know where to go, what to do or who to do it with it can be downright boring. One of the reasons I left was the lack of amenities. This said, Davao is NOT REALLY A MONGERING TOWN. Davao IS a place where you go to find a wife, a fiance or permanent GF that is completely different from the rip off mercenary big city variety one finds in Manila etc. Girls in the Mall will flirt with you and you can pick up "regular girls" the ladies in white (student nurses) and others who want to be your wife, GF or squeeze for the week you are there. Yes you CAN find pure mongering, but you have to KNOW where to go and have somebody show you. Hanging with "locals" is not really the way to do it, most of them don't have the money to go to any place decent but can only go to the buckets of blood mentioned where you can get a blowsy P300 bar fine and probably a knife fight for dessert.

I don't know what is happening with some of the legendary mongering places like club moonlight, the Roman Plaza spa, or club Sirena out in matina (I've been trying to find some of the brethern who can check these places out and report on my old GF's in Club Sirena who used to do 3 somes etc. with your's truly).

The few times I went to hot legs, galleria etc. I usually went with some guys who were more into seeing the show, with the dowdy dancers it was so lousy it was good, was like a big joke. I think the last time I reported on this was in January 0f 06, if anybody wants a laugh.

Davao is a great place to retire to if you are an expat and want it on the cheap, loads of lovely ladies, really nice girls who just love their foreigner.
"we" are still a novelty there and the people treat you nice.

But there is little to do unless you are into diving, hanging out and drinking.

I liked Davao as a town. It has a quite atmosphere; no real traffic jams, and still offers many of the things one would expect to have in a city. I can understand why people would want to live or retire there. (I still prefer a really big city like Manila, though, even though I rarely go out of my peaceful green Mediterranean-style gated sub-division where I love to be.)

This being said, there really is no need to go especially in Davao (or any other places) if you are a foreigner looking for a wife (or even a steady girl friend). Just ask anywhere in the Philippines and you’ll get hundreds crawling all over you. Unlike for short time sex, people from all walks of life, even in the most conservative towns, will openly and happily help you, proposing their friends and family. Finding a potential wife in the Philippines is a matter of minutes. Now finding one that suits you is another story, of course.

I eventually scored girls quite at odd with what was to be found in the local karaokesI like the idea of that! :)

I don’t know why I didn’t use any tricycles in the PI. During my time in Bangladesh, I actually became good friends with a rickshaw driver (as good as two people from so totally different backgrounds could become) I went to his home and he came to mine and I had some very memorable times with him- from beautiful midnight gatherings of groups of street people singing songs and just chilling out in some corner of a street to an eye-opening cesspit of a brothel town a bus ride from Dhaka to his home village where I was such an unusual sight that the whole village trooped out to watch me bathe in the village pond.

Both you and Spam Hog are right about carefully choosing local friends to go out with. I thought they would have loads of contacts and know all the hidden gems but they didn’t. Also, I don’t know whether it actually puts off regular girls to be with a group of local lads.

Admittedly they were responsible for the one girl I met but then I wouldn’t have gone for her had I been by myself and sort of felt half obliged to go with her after all the effort from the guys to get us together.

One of these guys had different small businesses one of which was lending money and had many police officers as his clients. I suggested we meet up with some of the off-duty cops as I thought they would surely know where most places were and could probably provide us with more of a wild time, but everyone said I was crazy to think of mixing with them.

Yep I agree with you guys, Davao probably is a good cheap place to retire and forget the rest of the world. My five days passed by easily in a relaxed way and I felt that a year could pass by without me really noticing it.

I’d like to get to CDO and Zamboanga next time.

I had PM'd the slayer a few times, not seeing any current reports and feared the worst from the deafening silence, anyhow I'm glad to see you back up and running Hoss, when you gonna give us the report on the three girls (2 twins) who showed up with a raging byot at your presidential suite, I have been waiting for that one, should go down in the "anals" (pun intended) of classic trip reports.

X man, Thanks for the info regarding the hotels in Davao, someone just PM'd regarding that and the fact he can't book anything end of April, I figure election time, but I recommended Casa Leticia, Tower Inn and unfortunatly Humberto's, sorry you didn't like it Billspu...oh well. Oh and Insular Hotel out in bajada is a nice little hide away with a pool and a beach.

BTW gentlemen, I said this before, I repeat DO NOT STAY AT BOGOBO HOUSE down near Gaisano Main. That is MILF territorry always under surveillance by NBI looking for bad guys, never know when some idiot will decide to roll a grenade in the door. Same with Hotel Maguidanao, which got burnt to the ground (insurance scheme) and I understand has been refurbished up an running.

I looked at the rooms at Casa Leticia and Royal Mandaya (and another on I forget the name of) but the apo view at PHP2200 (or something, I can’t exactly remember now) beat them hands down.

Try to get a room on the 8th floor facing the pool. Unfortunately, the rooms at the apo view are all a bit noisy- the rear ones have loud air conditioning units outside the room and all the front ones (facing the pool) have interconnecting doors with no sound proofing- so you can hear people talking next door (and they will probably get woken up with you having sex in the middle of the night)

Help please from any member in Davao.

Can I change my Thai Baht into Phil. Peso in Davao.

Any Idea at what rate? or a phone number of money changer.

As Thailand has crazy onshore rate of 35.00 to US$ and offshore rate of 32.32
a difference of about 9% if one can use the offshore rate.

In Bangkok using the onshore rate and money changers margin of .5% from mid rate 100,000 baht = US$2,843 which should change into Phil Peso at 48.50.

Therefore 100,000 baht would get Phil Peso 137,885 or a rate of 1.379.

Thank you for the work that SM and others put in to help us green horns.

Try the Aldevinco Shopping Center, close to Marco Polo. They are a group of shops that mainly sell soveniers and trinkets, but also do money changing. They would probably be your best bet. Banks would probably double dip by changing to USD first then to Peso.

Jackson, thank you for trying to put some order into the Davao list.

You suggest "report to a moderator", but who is the moderator? An individual who has sent threatening messages to my PM has claimed he may received moderator status. Naturally, I am uncomfortable with that - if it is true.

I doubt if he wants the job, but I would recommend SpamHog as a moderater. His posts are very informative and he always keeps a cool head.

I strongly suggest that people who divulge personal information about others on the ISG boards be the first people who face "MODERATION". People write freely here because they expect some degree of anonymity.

I personally don't care who is jobless/homeless, has tatoos, was cheap with the ladies or wanted by the Davao police. The fact that some of this "information" is untrue simply makes it worse. Actually, that makes it libel - a crime.

Six month hiatus over - two months in China and four months in Cebu.

Didn't venture into Davao, but will do so on my return. As I feel apart of this board, I had to post this general report.

As stated in my previous post, I did get a chance to meet with DS, The Kid, SpamHog, Brewster and Mattricks. Unliike my last visit in 2001 I found myself needing a bit of socializing and I did so with several members of this board.

Because DS is such a matter of discussion on this board, I attest that after meeting with DS several times on different occassions - family, parties and one on one he is a genuine good hearted person, a generous person, and a person that I am proud to call a friend. After a few drinks in him, DS tends to become a little melodramatic. He holds himself and other people to high standards of conduct/ethics - this make his style easier to swallow. Enough said.

The Kid sure knows how to sing Irish melodies for hours at a time. Enjoyed several meets with SpamHog and our time at Eddies Log Cabin Restaurant, Sunflower and other jaunts with SH's wife and her dating aged ladies.

As to mongering, I decided to change the first lady to better her career after one month and she is now working in Singapore. We spent a lovely Xmas and New Years together. As previously stated, I never had so much tight and fresh young pussy in six months that I had in all my life.

I then went on to date two other promo girls one at Robinsons and one at SM for an average of one month at a time. Whilst they were working I had time to explore Cebu and the environs and meet up with several ladies on FH for several platonic dates with just one lady picking up the slack during those working hours.

Will be in Phil in October for eight months this time, please God. However, God is making it feel like winter now back in Vancouver - I mean sex prison.

Hello Guys:

It's been a while; in fact it's been a long while since I've posted here, and wasn't sure I ever would again. But then, I got a call this afternoon from my buddy DS who told me that he had been appointed the moderator, and I promised him that I would write something.

First of all, I congratulate Jackson for his obvious perspicacity in picking the best man for the job. Even those of you who might object to the tone of some of DS' post have to admit the board becomes moribund when he's not contributing, and livens up when he is. So whether you like the content of his posts or not, the fact is, he's what keeps this board alive, and is thus an excellent choice to moderate this free flowing discussion, or whatever this is.

I thought for a while about responding to that part of Trim's post that concerned me and then decided against it since I don't want to provoke any needless rancor and there's no point.

As to DS "fucking the ugliest women in Davao," I must disagree rather emphatically. I've met many (certainly not all) of DS' girlfriends, and they pretty much tend toward the 9-10 range of the scale. True, Jen does not talk much (at least not around me) but she is definitely gorgeous and extremely nice. She's been to the house a couple of times and we've gotten to know her a little.

I've been with the same woman for a long while now and I no longer do the night scene, but I don't think it's changed much since I was a part of it. The places are pretty much the same except that there are new restaurants opening all the time. Henny has changed his menu a bit and now offers and excellent steak tartar. The Blue Room no longer offers live music and Davao's economy is in a definite boom cycle as more and more investments are flowing in. I still hear rumors that Tinderbox is going to open a branch on Recto St. but I seen no physical evidence as yet that this is true. Oh, and before I forget, Davao's first condominium is being built in Ecoland.

There is still only a limited amount of quality wine available and none of it is anywhere near the standard that DS brings with him whenever he comes. In fact, going back to the same old locally-available plonk is always a let down when he leaves the scene.

I've been in Manila for most of the past few weeks, and will have to stay here most of the time through the end of the month, and it makes me realize how much I like Davao. I understand, given the number of clubs and other opportunities why some guys like the place so much, but for me it's just too dirty, too crowded and life is simply too much of a hassle.

This is a pretty dull post, and I'm leading sort of a dull (but satisfying) life, but I did want to congratulate DS and say thanks to Jackson.

Greetings everyone,

First, I have recently clean up this thread by deleting a number of off-topic posts. However, this process isn't precise, so please do not take it as a personal offense if I inadvertently deleted something you wrote.

Second, as many of you know, I have created a separate new forum for Dragon Slayer and I have moved all of his posts for the last 6 months and your responses thereto, to his Davao thread.

This new forum is neither a reward or a punishment, it is simply an experiment in forum management wherein I am trying to find a strategy for allowing prolific contributors who hate each other to coexist in the same website.

Third, if any of you, and specifically those who have been so quick to criticize me, would like your own separate forum, please let me know.

As a moderator of your own forum you can start new threads, and edit or delete reports in your forum, which of course means any reports posted by others that you don't like. Everything that's posted in your forum is subject to your deletion. Of course, out of fairness to everyone else, you are also limited to posting only within your forum.

Fourth, now that DS has and is limited to his own forum, I do not see the need for any further commentary or criticism about him in this thread. Everybody should just get back to the purpose of this Forum, which is:

"The purpose of this Forum is to provide for the exchange of information between Men on the subject of finding Women for Sex."

Like I said, let's get back to the subject.

Thank You,

Jackson

Ask Questions.

Now that this official Davao Board has had a re-organising of sorts I would like to let newbies know that people like GoodEnough lives in Davao and can provide a heap of information on the place. Most of it is in his old posts on this same Davao Board.

Others like myself do not live in Davao but have had many years of going to and from Davao. Unfortunately I am ageing too and I do not think Davao is so great so I do not visit Davao so much nowadays. Even so, myself or others might be able to help.

You can be sure I will tell it as it is, if anyone asks me. Tell it as I see it, that is. Thats why Forums are good, you get a variety of opinions.

This Davao Board will never be busy like say Cebu Board simply cause its not a busy place sex wise. It has been busy before for non sex reasons, but thats water under the bridge now.

You are invited to come forward with your questions, better still your reports / postings and kind hearted folk like GoodEnough, SpamHog, Xman, Martians, Mahku and many many others who built this Board, might come forward and help you. Do not expect too much cause Davao is no Cebu City or Angeles or Manila, thats for sure.

I now leave this Board to the senior contributors who joined Davao Board before me, actually Good Enough is the one who started it, I believe.

Most people on the Davao thread say the Marco Polo is the best place to stay. I've never been there.

Casa Leticia is also very nice - great service. The Presidentail suite is to be avoided....don't ask my why.

Hotel Galleria has a pool, cheap rooms, some rooms might be musty smelling.

Someone recommended Towere Inn a while back.

Shortly after sunday mass, I walked out of San Pedro Church (near city hall) and found the scene that you see in the picture. After I took the picture, I walked up and asked for a cup of buto juice. This request was answered by a look of shock. Thinking that my English was the problem, I pointed and spoke more slowly, "Buto juice please. Coconut juice".

Then, lots of giggles from the vender and other customers. I wonder why?

I'm not too sure about the Davao, but "buto" is some of the dialects in PI means dick. I'm more use to hearing "buko" for young coconut.

Restricting discussions to finding women in Davao limits my potential to contribute cause I find Davao limited in pick up potential. I doubt if you will find a great lot of posts about pay for play on this particular Board simply because much fewer guys travel to Davao for mongering purposes. There is not much return business for Davao. Guys go there once and do not return or its years before they return again. Consequently monger numbers do not build up like they do in a city like Cebu , for example.

If your looking for a wife , peril the thought , then Davao could be a worthwhile destination . The Davao girls are less commercial , more provincial. Bad if your after quick sex , good if your after a long term companion.

One way of avoiding disappointment in Davao is to have some girls lined up via Internet before you arrive. A percentage of these Internet type of girls are pay for play. Some of them are no play for pay , that is , they extract money from guys before they arrive and do not deliver on arrival. This happens all over the Philippines and the world nowadays. The Internet has become a good cash cow for cunning girls.

Limiting discussions to finding sex also includes of course , related subjects such as accommodation , how to Davao and get around , where to eat etc.

As you can see from older posts there are lots of guys who can offer info and advice on pay for play and those related subjects. Hope they come forward , because myself , I am rather negative towards Davao when it comes to procuring quick encounters. The pay for play girls working for sex establishments in Davao are over priced in my opinion , especially compared to what can be had as similar places in a place like Cebu or even Angeles City where its cheaper still.

For me , one of the intriguing factors of Davao is the street scene. As usual with street girls you have to be extra careful about dangers to ones health and your personal belongings. Added to that , the quality of these girls is usually lacking. What looker would hang around the streets ?

Even so , one lucky night I came across a 19/20yr old with great boobs , lively attractive face , legs , who turned out to be an almighty sex machine for the princely some of Pesos300 short time or Pesos500 all night. Unbelievable prices I know , but thats how cheap the girls can be in Davao City , if you don't mind trolling the streets.

Because she was so good in all respects I gave her Pesos1000 for all night and had her many times. She turned out to be good company too , including recruiting girls for me.

Admittedly that is the only time I found a gem on the streets , but its proof to me personally it can happen , and so when on occasions I do visit Davao I always do a patrol in a taxi to check out whats being offered on the streets. The girl I mentioned recently returned to her home province. Same girl could have made a stack at a Go-Go or somewhere. Don't know why she didnt work at one of those places. Maybe she was the independent type who didnt like to have a boss ? She had fire that one , and a body to back it up. Maybe she had low self esteem , can't figure it out , wasted talent.

So , yes there are lots of guys who have posted here in the past , who will post here again in the future if you ask them nicely , ha ha.

They might disagree with what I have said above , but thats the good thing about Forums , you can garner different opinions and come to your own conclusions.

04-09-07, 21:57

Yes , I believe its buko too , and then there is 'butto' , butt , ass , ha ha.

Regarding Xman pics and viewing from first one posted onwards :

She looks too skinny for me , but to each his own , "stole my heart then my money" , isnt that what happens when folks get married ? ha ha

Second photo better body , although its most probably first one. When girls lift their legs up rounds out the body a bit. Who's big dick is that ?

Third one with hair all over face. Like the shot , imagination. Give me hair lots of hair , on the head , but not on the pussy. I have a friend who only wants girls with bushy pussies hence he was disappointed when he visited the Philippines and found such was lacking. The more bushy pussy fans the better , the more for me in places like the Philippines.

Makes me jealous looking at those pics , might have to look through my files and see if I have got any for this Board , although I have never posted pics before , dont know the procedure. Hope its a simple procedure , for my simple mind.

Ask Questions.

Now that this official Davao Board has had a re-organising of sorts I would like to let newbies know that people like GoodEnough lives in Davao and can provide a heap of information on the place. Most of it is in his old posts on this same Davao Board.

Others like myself do not live in Davao but have had many years of going to and from Davao. Unfortunately I am ageing too and I do not think Davao is so great so I do not visit Davao so much nowadays. Even so , myself or others might be able to help.

You can be sure I will tell it as it is , if anyone asks me. Tell it as I see it , that is. Thats why Forums are good , you get a variety of opinions.

This Davao Board will never be busy like say Cebu Board simply cause its not a busy place sex wise. It has been busy before for non sex reasons , but thats water under the bridge now.

You are invited to come forward with your questions , better still your reports / postings and kind hearted folk like GoodEnough , SpamHog , Xman , Martians , Mahku and many many others who built this Board , might come forward and help you. Do not expect too much cause Davao is no Cebu City or Angeles or Manila , thats for sure.

I now leave this Board to the senior contributors who joined Davao Board before me, actually Good Enough is the one who started it, I believe. I live in Angeles and have never got down to Davao or CDO yet.

since there are so many post on this thread, could you answer a few Questions for me and some of the New bees.

How easy is it to find girls and older women in Davao. Where is the best place for a new guy to find these girls. How much do they cost on average and are most st or lt.

Now that you are no longer able to attack Dragon Slayer, you are announcing that you are no longer going to participate in the Davao forum and that you wern't really much of expert on Davao in the first place?

You just told me volumes about your true agenda.

I reviewed your 92 forum "reports". As a result of this review I deleted 84 of your "reports" that were a complete waste of bandwidth. However, I did keep 8 of your reports that actually provided some information.

Thanks,

I wanted to edit that post to clarify this , but I see I am no longer allowed to edit my posts. So , I have sent this separate post to clarify that my 'thanks' post was addressed to the Administrator.

I guess I have been lucky enough to "cum" across some quite beautiful women from Davao. When I first started mongering overseas, I thought Davao offered the most beautiful women. For some reason thats all that I was meeting. But after tasting some other areas, I think its a toss up and could possibly be a matter of opinion.

I know that some people may think they have a 10 and it could be a 5/6 on someone else's scale so to each his own. You just have to seek one that suits your fancy. If I am looking for a gf, they need to be petite, sexy lips and they absolutely have to have long nipples and sexy ass feet or I dont even look twice. If its just a quick fuck they still need to be petite (dunno why, just a fetish I guess) but not particular about the feet or lips. We all have our particulars!

I have tons of pics of my ex-gfs that I've never posted and probably wont unless I get a wild hair up my ass. The things these ladies do for the camera is crazy! You guys who been mongering here can attest to that. I dont go for mugsters or the gutter hoe's off the street although I agree with Joking that there are a couple of gems every once in a while. You dont need to be a celebrity or anything to catch a nice girl.

Thats the beauty of the PI, "everyone" has a chance to catch a diamond (you see 70 yr old guys with 21 yr old, fine/beautiful women) go figure? Whether they want your money, relationship or whatever, its up to you to check 'em out first and then make a decision. The malls are chucked full of honeys just begging to give you some pussy. You dont need to feed them wine and cheese unless thats your gig. Of course there is a big difference between one your making your gf and one you just wanna fuck.

Most mongers want to hit it and quit it and bypass spending a lot of ends on the pussy. Again, thats the beauty of the PI, you can have as much pussy as you want for cheap, why do you think we come here?? There are the few of us who came with the intention of just meeting someone nice and end up making them a wife/gf and just sit back and watch the rookies make the mistakes and laugh/report about it.

What Im saying is mongering here in Davao really isnt that much different than anywhere else in the PI. Others will tell you different but ultimately its up to you to decide and the only way to find out is come to the Davao/PI and do a test drive.

On my one trip to Davao a few years ago, I met Maurice O'Flanagan, the affable owner of the bar/restaurant in downtown Davao. At the end of the trip, I headed back to the US and my mates, who had a few days left, decided to spend their last few days in Angeles. Who do they meet there but Maurice, whose acquaintance they had made for the first time, just days before!

That says it all for me about Davao. If a bar / restaurant owner, who is at the very nexus of the business / social scene in any city, decides to go to Angeles to have a good time, what does it tell you about Davao. Answer: that basically there's nothing going on there that would be of interest to mongers. And even worse, that the city is small enough that its difficult to dally with more than one girl simultaneously. You are basically stuck with whatever 'normal' girl you take up with.

I've always given kudos to working girls not just for their services, but because they keep the 'normal' girls honest, to some degree. By that I mean that 'normal' girls know that if there are a lot of prostitutes around, then the guys will get laid anyway. It puts at least a little pressure on the normal girls to put out. Kind of like competition in the market place. If the pros weren't around, then the guys would be 'on bended knee', begging for sex, just like some teenage scenario.

I have no idea why Davao has a thread at all. There should be a warning at the top of the thread stating that one is entering zone almost devoid of working girls.

As to 'normal' girls: aint they what we're fleeing to begin with?

ISG is about having "sex with women". Dashing Dhead has a good point, the p4p takes a bit more effort in Davao than it would in AC. If you are a newbie, go to MLA/AC first. And no one should go to Davao on a holiday unless you've been invited to someone's chapagne party. Well, maybe not!

Some of the most well respected members of ISG Philippines have kind words for Davao: GE, SpamH, Mahku, Cebu Local. Not everyone wants to spend their holidays in the exact same place. Davao is a great alternative for someone who has already tasted the Philippines and wants something new and interesting.

Cherry blossom (web site) is loaded with "normal" Mindanao ladies who want some action in their lives.... Some aren't so normal, ...thankfully.

Great to see folks hopping in and answering Congerww's query.

But first let me digress, digress is the flavour of the month right now, sounds cute, so I will use that expression too.

I agree with Dashing Don, in that hookers the world over keep the normal girls honest. Normal girls become hookers when they request a house, car etc for their undying lust or love, take your pick on which one it is, they are offering.

Personally, I can not afford the free sex normal girls offer, ha ha. Free sex is too expensive. The sting at the end of the tail becomes much more than the payment up front with Hookers. And then again the hookers are more honest in that respect too, they lunge and lust, we pay, they go.

What better sex contract on this planet than that? Better than the marriage contract, thats for sure, and no I am not a bitter divorcee.

But let me explain, for an honourable gentleman, like myself, the rare genuine offer of free sex is just too much to handle. I insist on paying one way or another. I will give you an exceptional example of this, as follows.

There was a time in my life when I was a rock star, and an admirer of me and my band, offered her body to me free of charge. I partook of it for about three minutes, and never thought about that unimpressive encounter again.

But may I digress briefly once again and say: "another thing, hookers know: how to hump". Hump for the uninformed is an alternative expression for f. K. The groupie I mentioned did not know how to hump, hence only three undistinguished three minutes was all she was worth. Plenty more were waiting in line, so no loss for me at that point of time, but yes there was a sting in the tail indeed. Read on.

Yes, so back to being a rock star many many years ago, when rock stars were dime a dozen. The three minute free encounter ended up costing me heaps in money and a certain amount of anguish. That encounter produced a baby, who is today a young man. The most expensive free sex I have ever encountered, to excuse the pun.

Yes, it was my kid, no tests needed, I know now, cause early in the saga which lasts to today, the young innocent groupie whispered to her father in the car one day "Tell Joking baby has a problem, one of babies testicles is hanging lower than the other". Father was very dismissive of daughter, cause he too was thinking of "lets milk this cash cow rock star, for all he is worth". Both of them did pretty well in that regard I might add. Don't be a sucker for a normal girl, their end price is most abnormal indeed.

So, one day maybe years later, long time later when the baby, now a young boy was still ghosting me, in more ways than one, I put my glasses on and examined my testicles, and yes one hangs noticeably longer than the other. Saved me paying for a paternity test, ha ha.

I have digressed so much, that I will now have to post this separately to my answer to Conqerww's query.

I post one at a time nowadays, just to see if it gets placed on this Board. Once I see my previous post is online I post next one. But as you will see, times have changed, and my disposition to post has diminished somewhat, but first my obligation to answer Congerww's query. Liked the answers of the other guys, at least they do not go on and on.

And yes Xman you are right as usual, to quote you: "Joking, you stayed at this place? Oh, you're joking. ". That's right, I am Joking, but other people see it another way. No problem, I can't please everyone.

And regarding my accommodation pic. I always reserve the Executive Suite at that place, at the top, on the rusty roof ha ha. Actually, that was the first place I stayed in on my first visit to Davao. It's aged and rusty like me. And yes, I am joking again. Some people misinterpret my brand of humour, takes all kinds. There is always the Ignore List, ha ha.

But surely someone has buzzed past that pic place in what might be the main jeepney/taxi thoroughfare of Davao City. A certain well known shopping Mall is located on the same street. Enough tips, you will name it, if not now some time later, given enough tips. More tips in the pipeline, a little tease.

I tell you what, I 'll put up free beers for a whole night at O'Flannagans for one person, if that first one person gets it right within seven days. How's that?

Should have named the pic "On this site will rise". Philippines, it's always tomorrow, especially with good girls, eh fella's? .

First I'll see this post online then answer Congerww's, although other posters have taken some of the wind out of my sail already regarding his queries.

Talking about wind, getting a bit hot in here, ha ha.

Excuse typo's I can't Edit anymore, must be a software malfunction, wink wink.

Might have to go with the flow and ask for my own Forum, now that would be fun!

If we can not meet in Cebu City then I will leave Pesos equivalent at his nominated non go-go bar , wherein I will get a receipt from Manager for same and post on this website IF Xman fronts and say they do not know anything about it. Please nominate a budget bar XMan or I might have to renege on my offer , ha ha.

04-11-07, 03:21

Regarding Congerww's query.

Well Congerww's , if you live in Angeles , you will find Davao City very different , very much so. Angeles is a compact go-go city , Davao is not.

In answering your queries , remember your only getting my opinion.

1. You say : "How easy is it to find girls and older women in Davao"

I say : It is easy to find girls , and older women , very easy , they are very smiley and provincial. But finding girls to screw that night , oh no , that can be difficult. If you met a girl on the street or in the Mall in Angeles , you've got a much better chance of making an immediate encounter out of her than a Davao girl in the same situation.

For quick sex you need to go to a ***** house , show dance place , Cabaguio Complex (Show dance , Massage etc) , trawl the streets in a taxi , lots of street girls hanging around corners at night. All these places and Rizal St have been discussed on this board before. Use Search facility if necessary.

Disco's in Davao are not so fruitful as say in a town like Cebu. The only thing close to a Go-Go in Davao are the limited show dance places with limited number of girls and excessively high bar fines. You can get just as good or better girls in Angeles for a lot less, and in my opinion attitude is better in Angeles. Attitude of pay for play girls that is.

2. You say : "Where is the best place to find the girls".

I say : I do not think there is a best place. You have to move around , try the spots described on this Board. Otherwise hire a cheap taxi and get him to take you to all the girlie spots. Backtrack to the best one minus the first taxi to avoid a taxi commission , especially if your thinking of ***** houses.

Maybe you will get lucky in Rizal St , see numerous previous posts about Rizal St. Personally I am a great believer in a back up plan , and best one is to line some girls up via the Internet before you travel all the way to Davao. No guarantee your going to screw all of them , but something to fall back on.

3. You say : "How much do they cost on average and are most ST or LT".

I say : Well , on average they cost a lot more than your P1200 bar fine girls in Angeles. I have a lot of experience in these matters and only pay P1000 to P1500 max for an all nighter in Davao. Most girls working at an establishment in Davao will be asking for more than that. Once upon a time I did get a looker at a davao dance show place to front up next day at my hotel (see pic below , ha ha) and ST her for P1000. The LT price the night before for the same girl was P3500 plus expensive ladies drinks , not for me.

For me , Davao has a LT mentality , but you can arrange short time , no problems. Do not forget , street girls are P300 ST , P500 LT , plenty of guys are paying more but that's the going price. My very first encounter with a street girl , pimp standing by and all , about 3/4yrs ago , they quoted those prices , so I have stuck with those prices since , as a guide. I only take a street girl if she is attractive etc and I do not ask , I offer P500 all night so that the pimp , ever present nearby hears that , then in the morning I hand the girl two P500 notes , that is , P1000. She tells the pimp I gave her P500 , ha ha.

My advice is do not travel to Davao expecting a fast sex scene like Angeles. Go to Cebu City , much better , then a side trip to Davao City if you want. Some guys praise Davao City to the skies , not me.

My understanding is , there are a lot of Davao girls in Angeles Bars. Why cart sand to the Arabs ? You've got pretty Davao girls in Angeles for P1200 all night ! Walk around Angeles Go-Go's with a sign pinned to your chest "Davao girl Please" , ha ha.

I hope other guys will come forward and answer questions too. Admittedly I stuck my neck out with my previous post , encouraging questions , but since that post there have been new developments.

Ever forward , mongers true , we shall not surrender , until we screw.

Gentlemen, I said it before and I'll say it again, Davao is the Phils best kept secret, a place I called home (Off and on) for 3 yrs. There is a plethora of Pussy available and no it is NOT the assembly line hump factories one finds in
AC or Makati, one can easily find P4P, freelancers but more likely a local lass who wants to be your wife or GF, and therein lies the problem.

Joking I have no doubt you saw certain Davao personalities in AC or elsewhere, but understand something it doesn't mean there is "nothing available" it means that certain persons are being wise and cautious in their mongering, IE:

ONE DOES NOT SHIT IT ONES OWN NEST!!!!

Davao is a small town place with a big land mass and a lot of people. everybody KNOWS EVERYBODY, and there are relatively few foreigners.
At one time, when a freind of mine was a US Embassy warden, there were LESS than 90 US Expats living in the place, comparable amount for Europeans
So you best beleive no matter how much you sneak around on your "Other" your chances of being discovered at quite high, Filipino's love to talk and gossip and "foreigner watching" is foremost on their list, therefore it makes sense to fool around in other jurisdictions where one is more anonymous.

Anyhow, Davao offers much that your usual mongering places do not, I say this as I hear a lot of the brethern going on about hiow there is little to do in AC after Bar fining. Diving is more interesting with a number of WW2 wrecks easily accessible, Samal island day hikes and a view of old WW2 gun enplacements and for the boldest, a try at hiking Mt Apo, the highest point in the PI.

I could digress as I have done before about my discovery of the place after being waylaid by a typhoon while flying out of Manado Indonesia enroute to points north in ythe PI intending to monger my heart out and finding the picking so abundant I decided to forego the orgies in AC/Makati but you've heard it all before.

Anyhow, Every place in The Phils has its own "flavor" but one thing is certain, no matter where you go you WILL BE ACCOMIDATED

My first post here and I'm proud to say and recommend Davao to any potential mongerer or anyone who is simply looking for superb young pussy. There is no shortage of girls looking for foreign men to fuck. I have just returned from Davao this week spent easter holidays with my GF who lives in Davao, I also recommend the Marco Polo it is excelent and they are freindly and courteous to myself and my GF, although if you plan to stay here it can eat into your budget quickly. There are also many attractions to see including samal island and also if you are in Davao at the right time of the year when university subs are due by pinays you can score a plethora of pussy for a bargain, and the Marco Polo is handy to Davao uni! LOL anyway heres a pic of my GF's pussy with her permission. Happy Hunting!

Joking, I like taking pics and I like walking -- and that is how that picture came about. Some of the locals looked at me oddly as I took pictures of the place. You're correct, I've been to Davao only two times.

I also have before and after shots of the old elementary school that burned down. What a shame that was.

I'll be in the Philippines mid July. I'm looking forward to a nice cold SM and a few more of your rock star stories.

1. First I must digress.

Xman. I got sidelined seeing 'my hotel' in your pic and forgot. You have not told me the name of the street. So far you have won three beers for your photo, tell me the name of the street, within the seven day period and you have all the P30/40 beers you can drink, 10pm to closing time. Preferably O'Flannagans, where they close at 12 midnight, ha ha.

Your are moderate in your posts, so I am hoping you are moderate in your drinking too!

And I see in your latest post you mention my Rock Star days. Yes, well admittedly, it was in a country where rock stars were few and far between, and the population base not the biggest, but yes, I got the taste of what it would be like, being a Star in a bigger country, girls climbing in through the window and all that, actually happened. But with the unplanned and unexpected offspring and how that dragged on over many years, I paid a heavy price for that brief three year period. Was it worth it? Yes, I think so, cause one doesn't get those rock star opportunities often in ones life. Especially, with a sub standard voice like mine, ha ha. I could write pages just about that period and that experience, but right now I must digress:

2. Davao is not my town, its other peoples town, same folks I mentioned before.

They will come forward and contribute. Spam Hog, XMan, Trimkeeper and Dashing Don have made a start, presumably they and others experienced with Davao will follow, and keep the ball rolling.

I am not so enthusiastic about posting, considering recent developments. Plus I have other things coming up which need my attention.

I'll drop in from time to time and try and rescue anyone who needs help, if they are being ignored, and of course, if I know the answer. As I said, others visit Davao more often, and so are better qualified to supply up to date information on this rather dormant town. They will more than likely put a better spin to it too.

In passing, I offer a pic of a sweet young waitress. A sacrificial lamb. She is from Davao, worked in another province, across the seas, where I met her, until a few months ago, has now returned to Davao City.

A little slim in the neck, but that beguiles the rest of her. She was ok, I assure you. Hair down, she had a sultry look.

Not the kind you "pass around", too sweet for that.

She told me I was the only one.

Can any of you guys verify that? , ha ha.

Sorry, clicked Submit button before attaching pic of Sweet Young Waitress.

Don't usually post pics. I'm not in the habit of doing so, clicked Submit button too quickly.

Here she is in all her innocent glory. Not so innocent now of course , ha ha.

Hi all,

I often read that contacts are made on Internet prior to visting Pi, but I do no get how you make the contact?

I have email addresses and would love to just meet some girls (or guys) so I have someone to hang out with when I go to Davao. Not necessary for a relation - just some fun.

I am a normal and nice guy in my thirties, so I guess it's quite safe to contact me. :-)
Any hints on this topic are most welcome.

There are numerous pay sites which sell contact info and sometimes allow chat. The big ones are Cherry Blossom (seems to have a lot of Mindanao ladies), FilipinoHeart, Filipinokisses, AsianEuro.

Or do a yahoo member search or go to Yahoo groups.

To quote you TK : "I got a question for some of you Davao liveins...anyone know of a place to play poker there"?

I am not a live in , but the best place to play poker is in your room with a hottie. Just Joking , couldnt resist.

By the way , that Sweet Waitress was 19 is now 20yrs old. Between now and 22yrs , before she has kids , is the time for her and us to reap the harvest , ha ha. She reaps the cash , if she is that way inclined , and we reap the honey , while its sweet , wink wink.

Greetings everyone,

Guys, it's time to move on.

I just deleted a diatribe posted by TrimKeeper that included (as usual) a lot of good advice interspersed with a few pot shots at DS. Essentially (besides the obvious salvos) was his suggestion that whatever DS's posts on his forum is irrelevant and that everybody should just ignore him. I couldn't agree more, but I'm going to be even more direct:

Some of you need to drop this love/hate obsession you have with DS and just MOVE ON!

That's my way of saying "Please do not post anything more in the forum about DS".

From this point forward, any post that mentions DS directly or by reference will be deleted without comment.

Guys, it's over. Please don't test me, don't fuck with me, don't make me do it. Just MOVE ON!

Thanks,

Jackson

BTW, I'm extending my offer: I will be please to set up a separate forum for any Senior Member who requests one. One caveat: You will have your own forum with editing privileges, but you are also limited to posting in just that forum. Let me know.

First: This is IS about sex! Ha ha. I'm comfortable with all the advice. Thanks alot! Especially for being so specific. I have to guess it will save me alot of time when I get there. I'll be in Davao soon.

My question is re: the costs as you monger about. So as not to ruin it, what do you guys tip the cabbies? The waitresses etc. What is considered a nice tip amount without being stupid?

I'd like to leave them all with a nice impression of white guys of course. Like to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

Sxxxx

04-19-07, 10:33

first, please note , i am not always available to answer questions. hope other guys who have been on this board before, come forward and help out too.

tips: well, use the old 10% as a guide. i found davao taxi drivers are surprised with a tip of p2 or above, when its a p15 or thereabouts trip. locals apparently do not tip them one centavo. but say for example you come from the airport which is approx p115 fare. in that case i would give driver p130 or maybe more, depends if he has personality or not, entertains me along the way. for sure get him to use meter, no quotes off the meter, must use meter. fare can be p85 to p120, depends on specifically where in davao city your going. remember there is a sucker mentality at airports world over. if your meter fare has gone well over p120 and your hotel is in davao central, then the guy has either a hot meter or he has taken an unnecessarily long way in getting there. consequently he does not get one centavo tip.

normally davao taxi drivers are good guys, no tricks, very cheap flag fall and trips. but sometimes at airport pickups there is the odd smart ass taxi driver. be wary of that.

waitresses. well it depends if you want to fuck her or not. p10 tip for an average meal is ok. if service was lousy or food lousy, you might decide to leave absolutely nothing on the plate. if you want to have sex with waitress within two or three days, i would give her a p50 tip regardless of how cheap the meal. if you give her too much she might take you as a sucker and then be hard to seduce. second trip, walk into restaurant and walk straight up to same waitress and order something, eg beer whatever, something you do not need menu. then sit at a table. the idea behind this is to block out any other waitresses. at end of meal give her p100 tip, which indicates your desire for her is increasing, ha ha. on this second visit hand pre prepared cell number to her , eg on plate with tip , making sure she sees , or ask her for her cell number. preferably do this without manger/boss seeing. if no call, one way or other by third day, give her a miss, and repeat same procedure at other restaurant/s. ideally you eat at three restaurants each day, to speed up process, that is three waitresses on the line at any one time.

so tipping waitresses p10 is ok , except when your trying to get into bed with her. the bigger tips is letting her know your willing to spend money , and hopefully puts ideas in her head , ha ha.

at one favourite restaurant of mine, i tip p20 every time, regardless of purchase, eg cup of tea, cause the food and service is excellent. you might think that is a small amount, but combined with smiles and respect, it goes a long way. even hooked one on that p20 basis, at that same restaurant. never had to go through the p50/100 routine. fortunately she moved back to her home town. leaves remainder of newly employed attractive waitresses open to my overtures. please do not tell too many people about this procedure, otherwise i might never get a fuck again, ha ha. everything posted on this board is a secret of course.

yes, you will be considered a cheap charlie and without heart if you do not tip for reasonable or good service. anything from 10% and up should be sufficient.

you say: "i'd like to leave them all with a nice impression of white guys of course". best way to do that is smile, be friendly and courteous. in my opinion they are more impressed with that than big tips. a combination of personality and p50/100 tips will do the trick. i know, i've done it hundreds of times.

filipinos do not like arrogant foreigners and they feel uncomfortable with folks who look serious. make sure you do not fit into those categories and you will do fine, tips or no tips.

and trimkeeper, enjoy your trip to davao, give my regards to maurice. he has the best draught beer in the philippines.

Its pretty well known Philippines wide that a taxi driver will inveribly expect a tip. Practically anywhere you do business there they expect a tip, restaurants, taxis, etc. I myself pretty much go on how they treat me. As Joking says, if they are pleasant and provide conversation and not dicking you around then I top off the meter.

Sometimes I've found going w/o a meter can be to your advantage but just dont make it a habit. This only works when traffic is crazy and your not sitting there watching the meter go skyhigh. I only recommend this option if you are a seasoned traveler and know how much it costs to get to where you want. They have this uncanny ability to double/triple the fare!

Also in Davao, they have aircon and non-aircon taxis available, choose at your discretion. The meters start at different rates depending on whether you choose aircon or non. Be careful also as some say aircon but just have a fan and will tell you its aircon.

Good info Joking! Im not planning on going to Maurices but I'll do a driveby and throw a hello out the window for you...haha!

Just picked up the Nikon D40X so Im planning to take a lot of pics. Its 10.2 mp and amazingly clear pictures. Still learning the camera but pretty nice.

Nice to see you spend some of that vegas money on something that will last. Although I'm not familiar with nikons. I'm a big canon fan, but figured for this trip to just bring the little sony. That's the problems with those side bet jackpots and the slot machines. Instant taxes. It's one reason I enjoy the table games when the luck is good.

I'm headed to Davao for my first ever PI trip in May. I took all your advice. From FH for a lead or two. To where to stay. Since I only have time for a few days this (side) trip. I'll stay at the Marco and try to sneak off to a snorkeling spot. Any quick suggestions on that (not a diving spot, just a good spot to bring a gal for a day of snorkeling)?

Joking,

Thanks for the tip info. I'll try your stategy and see how it works. Especially appreciated the advice on smiling alot. Easy for me, but good to know.

This board has been priceless. I'll give a view from a noobie's eyes when I return. I'm more interested in wining and dining and the gfe and it sounds (based on this forum) like Davao is an appropriate spot for that.

Thanks again.

I can not Edit my posts. Clarification needed re my previous tip post.

When I said : "A combination of personality and P50/100 tips will do the trick. I know , I've done it hundreds of times". The trick I am referring to is , bedding a Waitress.

Get it ? Got it ? Good !

Some will say the tip technique is just throwing money away , to each his own , but P150 over two days is not money , when all is said and done. And it's all for a good cause. Waitresses get paid a pittance. Spread it around , karma and all that , ha ha.

I would not be doing it if it did not work. Naturally , it does not work every time. Of course you slip P1000 into the girls bag next morning or take her shopping.

This tipping technique has got nothing to do with free sex. I've experienced free sex before , and found it costs too much. Shame on those who screw poor girls and give them nothing in return.

I know Anon does not approve of my tipping technique , he said so in the Dumaguete Board a while back. Nice of him not to take me to task this time.

Why Not...

Bigups on the thanks. When you get there just try to enjoy yourself and have some fun. Its not hard to do even if you're on your own there...or anywhere in the PI for that matter. Once you had a day or two under your belt you'll find your comfort zone and will feel like a pro.

You can check out Pearl Farm but its a little pricey unless your ends are ....endless! Not the best resort but Davao doesn't have much in that area. I did rent a boat one time and took my girl out and she was topless and bottomless the whole day. Fucked for hours out on the water in plain sight of anyone who was around! Can't remember the place I rented from. Try that out and see how you like it! Lots of nite spots to go to also for dinner or just hanging out...you got Kareoke places, pool, etc.

For eats, if you like Japanese there is a place a few doors down from Casa Latecia. They cook the food in front of you like House of Genji in San Jose, CA or you can sit down at a table and order like any other resto. There is a fairly decent Italian place but cant remember the name. Will do some research and post about it later once I find it. As far as the so called Ground Zero, its pretty much a zero. To me, its a waste of time and there are some pretty skanky folks that hang out there. But...if thats your style, carry on! Personally speaking, you got a better chance at the malls.

You can also RTFF a few months back and check out some other posts about places to hang out. Dunno if you speak tagalog or not but it helps. Hell any of the ladies will no doubt help you out in that area. Im not a big fan of the bar scene so I dont frequent them unless its LA Cafe in Malate but again, don't go there for the drinking but just to see what's out there and chat. Cant help you there...sorry.

Sometimes you'll find (especially if your on your own) that you run into some places nobody else knows about and then you can tell us about it when you submit a post. So venture out...see what you like...its pretty safe...just dont go out into the squatter area at 2am on your own waving your money around...lol.

You can even go out and do some house hunting (for fun of course unless your really interested). Great way to spend a day. Lots of nice places to check out the homes they have there. You get to see exactly how they build and the comparison to the US or other places in the world. Not the best quality but YGWYPF in the PI.

Regarding cameras, I like Nikon, my dad was a photographer in the military so I have a fairly good idea of cameras and photography. I have some of his old equipment he left for me just after he passed. I got a Mamiya TL Reflex and an old school Hasselblad thats in pretty good condition. Went out today and took some pics of the new Bay Bridge they're working on. Took the ferry from Vallejo and it takes you right past Alcatraz and near the bridge.

Joking... dont worry about how others view your tipping/spending including me...its your money, spend it how you like. Hope my hello doesnt break his window..lol. Dont wanna spend my winnings fixing it!

Hope that helps Why Not.

Yes , Davao is more of a wining and dining, slow paced, human relations experience, rather than a full on monger spot.

Why Not is : 'nanong dili' in visayan/bisayan language , by the way. Nanong is why, dili is no/not.

Sorry joking but the proper spelling pronunciation is two sylables

Nga Nong Dili, nanong is a term for a respected relative. Anyhow you guys are mostly right about Davao being a wining dining town, yet there is a lot of good mongering to be had, cheaper than Manila/AC but somewhat less abundant, also go go bar/Videoke/Karaoke, massage girl, bar fine are more likely to be a GFE experience than the hardened pro's elsewhere, many have never had a white man before and westerners stand out. It may be becaused I lived there and was so familiatr with the "other side" but I always found mongering plentiful and available from many sources.

To Anonymous and Why not, if you are interested in Diving/snorkeling fooling around in private beaches I suggest you look into the following:

Try going to Isla Rita resort on Telikud island, this is a day trip sort of thing best to hire a "banca" like big wave or any of the other comerical boats at Santa Ana pier, the ferry might be up and running but only one or two early trips then a last return trip daily. Also look into "blue Water" resort on Samal island. These areas are less than Pearl farm which is WAYYYYY overrated IMHO and somewhat more secluded, just the type of place for taking sweetie down on the beach at night and dog styling her efficiently on the sand.

I would also look into the insular hotel, they have a great pool, a great resturaunt and a nice place out on the jetty from which you can eat, they also have a high tide beach, not great but you can splash around.

Nearby resturaunts include Hagars place, used to be run by a Norweigan but taken over by locals, they still serve western food and cater to foreigners.

Also dont forget "D japanese Tunnel" in Matina for an unusual resturaunt laced with history, since I'm a WW2 buff I used to love this place it is an old Japanese tunnel which was discoverd in 1975 and made into a resturaunt amusement park. Nice. Also Jacks ridge overlooking Davao, both places Filipino food but some good grill.

Thanks for that Spamhog. I had some trepidation about the spelling at the time , but too lazy to refer to my visayan dictionary. Or is it bisayan , I never know the difference.

I know I pronounce it right eg something like : nah nong.

Thanks for your great input. You provided information on things I dont know anything about and things Nga Nong was obviously interested in.

For some , there is more to life than sex. I’m getting there , ha ha.

04-24-07, 22:24

Personally I think good sex opportunities are limited in Davao City. But its still worth a visit , at least once. It might be your kind of town.

For example , going to a Mall in Davao and picking up a girl for a sex session that night ? As I said before on these pages , long shot , in my opinion. Picking up cell phone numbers and having chats yes , picking up quick fucks ? Not so easy , ha ha.

Regarding your dental treatment. Dont forget Philippines is a third world country. Most dentists do not have the modern equipment or training as in a first world country like your Australia. So long as its a simple procedure , suppose its an ok risk. Myself personally , would get important dental work done in a first world country , regardless of cost. Teeth affect face , which in turn affects your personality/confidence and your sex appeal . Pay big money for dental work in Australia and small money for sex in the Philippines. Way to go.

Regarding pay for play , you say other websites mostly out of date. Thats because Davao is not a premium target for sex and so not a lot of guys visiting the place and writing about it. This Forum you are reading right now has relatively up to date info , thanks to past posters willing to share their time and knowledge with others. All you have to do is read the previous pages. After reading through those pages , fire away with specific questions about specific places/issues.

You mention traps. There are many traps , but Davao City is less of a scam/con trap than most other places , but traps still exist in Davao. Over thirty years of visiting Davao , I have never been conned , but it can still happen , say next trip for example , ha ha. If you have anything specific in mind , in respect of traps , fire away. Biggest trap for a first timer like yourself is prices. You risk being ripped off in respect of bar fines and fee for sex. Study prices quoted on this Forum. And there is another newbie risk , having stuff stolen from your room by a street girl , for example. Unlikely , but be wary. Do not tempt poor folks.

Street girls. Starting around Apo area is a good start , but these girls are just about everywhere , sprinkled here and there. When we are new to the Philippines we think all the girls are pretty. So you will have no trouble finding something suitable on your first few trips. As we get to know Philippines more we get fussier and so find it harder to find a good looking girl. Don't forget , use condoms. Hop in a taxi and do a trawl. You will be surprised how cheap and friendly the taxis and their drivers are. Keep well clear of girls who look under 18yrs , could be a trap that will cost you dearly , many years in prison or 100,000 pesos to extricate yourself. Myself and others have told you street girl prices in previous posts.

Bar girls and the like , have also been mentioned recently by myself and others , including specific places. The Davao bar girls are over priced , in my opinion. Taxi drivers know where the bar girls are. Just say to taxi driver things like : 1. "girls bar , please" or 2. "girls street please " or .3. girls shopping mall please , and the friendly taxi driver will go get them. For example , try first bar , no good , exit , hop in next taxi and say 'girls bar' again , try another. Cebu City far superior in respect of bar girls and shopping mall potential , and just about everything else , including dental work.

Once again these are my opinions , others might write in and provide a more positive slant. When in Davao , have a draught beer at O'Flannagans where your Australian mate Kelly drinks. You know , Ned. Picture of him on the wall , last time I was there.

To summarise , look through previous forum pages , say from 2yrs ago to now. 2yrs old info will still be relevant in slow moving Davao City. Skip read , looking for prices , names. Otherwise you will be reading irrelevant stuff and reading forever. Then ask specific questions about specific places/prices you have read about on those pages.

Ever forward Mongers true , dentures or not , we will screw.

Guys - great forum but need your help. Arriving solo from Oz for a week Sat 29th for my first PI visit. Here for mucho dental work at the right price.

Although Davao does not have the carnival atmosphere of mongering holes such as AC or Manila, it is none the less, full of available women. Your strategy about lining up a few beforehand via FH or other chat mediums is a good one, always works. The malls are full of freindly Ladies and the sales girls will let you know via "the Look" they are intersted. Return all prolonged stares with a smile and a "hi" and take it from there.

I personally would avoid the streetwalkers near Apo, too young, too druggy and too pimp controlled (that means potential rip offs) same with the Recto street hangers on, we didn't used to call it "kiddie corner " for nothing lot of 16 years olds. SO AVOID THEM!!!

You can begin by going to a completely Pro place like the Roman baths, open 24/7, can't say the girls are the best looking in the PI but good for taking the edge off, used to be P200 for the room and a massage with "whatever" maybe P1000. You might try and check the "moonlight" club up the street from the baths, dont know if they are under new management yet but last year they went "gay" after change in management and all the girls went to work for a German out in Matina, place called "Sirena" across from the Sabaong arena. See if my old GF's Nicole and her sister are still working there, used to do a double with 'em.

You might make the rounds of some of the go go bars like hot legs, Galleria and "kiss me" all of these places are so bad they are good, low rent charm etc
Galleria used to have several girls from Kidapawan, tall, leggy, brown skinned and could suck the paint off the wall, hanging out, watching the show and tipping the girls P20 for showing their muffs while my friends were drunk as coots brings back a lot of happy memories.

If you get a "regular" girl try taking her to "jacks Ridge" for the evening, decent food from the Pinoy grill and spectacular views that will put her in the mood.

Need a dentist? Davao has plenty of them, try a lady on Camus street, across from the Apo hotel, can't rememebr her name, husband is an older American, does a good job and cheap comparatively, if you are coming to cebu, more dentists here and I can recommend a few I've been too.

Good luck and let us know what you find

Hey fellas,

Me and Trim are hanging out down here in Davao. He's leaving tomorrow to go to HongKong but I'll be here for a few days. I'm staying at Apo View, not too bad accommodation but the roaches, wow!

Gonna head out to the mall later this afternoon and will find some night life later on tonite. Hope to run into some of you guys later.

Hi Ol Timer

No , you are there , I am here , ha ha.

Give my regards to Trim. Surprised to hear of roaches in Apo View , must be all that sperm left behind by other mongers. High protein diet I believe. Dont know , but perhaps gals employed at BJ Bars would know if that is so. ?

Reminds me of a short time hotel in Cebu called Queens , Colon St. , 1970's , P4 for 24hrs. Place full of roaches , climbing over your chest at night etc. Think it was all the leftover spunk/protein that boosted the roach population there. Queens Hotel is still there. Most prob P100/150 24hrs nowadays. Very rudimentary. Not for the 2nd millenium monger.

Suggest , next time your in Davao , you book into the Presidential Suite , Casa Leticia , J Camus St. No roaches there and no problems with overnight ladies. Favourite Monger residence. Reservation advisable. Email : stay@casaleticia.com

In due course , we'd appreciate a report on your Davao findings.

I found a place in my heart for my sweetie from Buyugan Del Sur. I guess after being together for almost 4 weeks it was bound to happen. She wanted to come with me to Davao before I left to go home. Her auntie would be the chaperone as she also accompanied us to Butuan City whenever we went there. This time dad reared his ugly head and said, "no, I don't trust auntie this time, mom has to go too". Well an extra fare on the bus, 4 of us now, and more mouths to feed, little sister would have to come also. Not a problem, I still had a few more bucks. In the end my sweetie decided against it, too costly for me she said.

I went directly to the Apo Veiw and asked for a room. We only have a family room for 6000p the guy told me. No thanks. Ok, we got a junior room or something like that was his next offer, 4000p. No thanks. As I headed out the door to grab a cab to hit another hotel, the porter came out and said they had a regular room. The guy at the front desk said it was a last minute cancelled reservation. Hmmm..fishy??

After not scoring with the sweetie I was looking to get laid before I left in the morning. I walked around the town and noticed a few spots the mongers here talked about. Ground Zero, the convenience store/bar, was loaded with guys, not many girls there on an early Thursday night. I also walked by O'flanagan's, just took a look at the outside, but didn't enter. I noticed a guy on a motorcycle talking to this pinay and as soon as I rounded the corner where they were standing, the guy said to her, "there". I figured he was pointing me out as I was a foreigner and she was probably a hooker. I walked by her once again and said , "hi". She replied with, " Hello che". Whatever that meant, I don't know. I passed on her anyway and decided to troll around the Apo Veiw. Sure enough mamasan came running up to me and asked if I wanted a girl. There was about 5 of them and I pointed out a little cutie. 5 feet tall, if that, cute, nice body, Joanne was her name. 1500p for the whole night. I paid, had no problems at all with her. Nice tight pussy, barely no ass though, didn't take off her bra either. Whatever I just wanted to ride her a few times and that was it. She left at about 5 a.m. I gave her 1000p tip, I was leaving so had to get rid of some of the cash anyway. She liked my 14$ sunglasses so I gave them to her. Turned out to be a good last night.

Ol Timer,

Apo View has been in bad shape for years now. Until they do some renovation I would avoid it.

Tungsten,

Too bad your girl couldn't make it from Bayugan. I've never been much for bringing girls from other places. If I want to see Bayugan girls I would go there myself, or at least nearby Butuan. There are plenty of girls in Davao, and without the headache of having to take care of any travelling entourage, which not only adds to the expense but makes the sex part more complicated. Of course it's different if she's someone you're thinking of getting engaged to or something.

At least Davao offers a few pro choices if someone you plan to meet doesn't show up. But after a day or so of that you'll realize how much better that scene is in Manila or AC and you'll be thinking of heading there.

In other news,

One of my, umm, friends who used to give me benefits has invited me to her wedding in July. She tells me she'll invite lots of hottie friends to the event so it should be worth going to. And for any mongers who happen to be around in Davao in July, I'm sure you could tag along. I understand that Maurice of O'Flanagans has also been invited.

Gee , this ex of yours is a strange one. Inviting a former to her wedding. Looks like she still has the hots for you. Could it be , she's fantasising marrying you ? You'll get an idea when you see the dude she is marrying , ha ha.

Everyone seems to be heading to Cebu or Davao in July. Getting Jealous !

Might have to reserve a room at Presidential Suites , Casa Leticia and join the fun.

Lost my Edit facility again. Like tidying up my grammar , typo's and making latest post a little more interesting than the original. Added Casa Leticia info to previous post , that is , edited it , and then got the chop re Edit facility. Perhaps that email address is a no no ? Only trying to help guys , forgive me , ha ha.

And yes , those brides maids , Mahku servicing them. Might just have to pop into Davao.

Actually it's normal for me to stay friends with girls that I've moved on from. I met this girl and her fiance last year at the Venue. I was out with a girl that I met at the Apo View Blue Room, whose photo I posted a few months ago. Having her there helped smooth over what could have been an awkward encounter. They seem to be okay as a couple and might have a decent chance of staying together. So I think she just might survive without any more attention from old Mahku.

Now if this old flame threw herself at me to get one last single girl fling I might say "Oh alright!" Totally as an altruistic act of mercy of course.

Just come from 4 nights in Davao and 1st trip to PI from Oz. Ostensibly went there to have my teeth done. Fantastic female dentist (name and details on request) 16 fillings and a rebuild - P5,300. Shopping - unbelievable. I'm an XL - high quality big name brand tees (Jag, etc) P800. Converse leather sneakers P1,500. New Dr Martens boots, business shirts - the list goes on POLO jacket P1500. Just buy all your purfumes & electrical stuff, booze in Singapore on the way back.

Local beer - P25 from the supermarket. Stayed at the Tower Inn - P3,000 for 4 nights - highly recommended - tip the staff and chat to them and you'll get all the intel you want. Food - eat dinner at the buffet at the Apo View hotel P600 if you want to go high end or at any of the other places if you're on a budget.

Only caught the odd glimpse of other expats during my stay so we are a rare breed in Davao but the people are very friendly and welcoming.

Now to the 'meat and potateos' so to speak.

Sat night. Cruised around the block of the Apo view after 9.30. Mama san approached with about 5 girls in tow - picked the same one as Tunsgen (below) Joanne. Fun, cute, loved me taking pics of her, bargain down to P1,500 all nighter but a bit mechanical and easily distrated by the cartoon channel. My mate picked one that looked real good but was a dog with the gear off and way too theatrical - a dud root as well and sent he sent her home early.

Sunday night. Hot Legs niteclub. Dancers were a mix of real new? stunners and the old standards.

I was new to this scene so just let things play out. P300 for my beer! Then sure enough, Mary-Jane sat down and I got ripped off big time for her drink - Tequila. Looked great but when she danced with 4 others, only 2 took their gear off. When I asked her about this said she did not like to... Next drink I asked her to negotiate for half price for the both of us and was agreed.

Got her bar fee down to P2,000 and took her back. Cute but hardly the claimed age and bad stretch marks. Tip - go for the young ones who take their clothes off so you see what you're getting. Then she played an interesting game. Kept acting like I was too big and it was really very uncomfortable for her. Took pity on this routine and started a BJ for a while but then picked her up and banged her down on the old fella. Suddenly took it all with no complaint!!! Overall - very average but again, liked to be photographed.

Monday - found a real pearl in a massage place and a honey in a department store. To be continued.

Jacaranda:

I got ripped off with prices on my first trip to Philippines , early 1970's . Even so , thanks for your report , but no thanks for the prices you paid , ha ha.

Accept the following as advice and not as criticism :

P300 for a beer at Hot Legs ! ? At least your honest and got balls enough to admit it. Rule No.1. : Ask "how much" before you order anything. Make it a habit. Then pay as you go , no sting in the tail later on with a loaded bill/chit. I paid P30 for a beer at Hot Legs a few months ago. I ask beforehand re price and pay as I go , everywhere , never ever any chits/bills , except at Restaurants , where you know the price in advance ex menu.

Daylight Saving will reduce cost of those show girls. Tell them call next day your Hotel. P1000. Cellphone in philippines helps cut costs. Buy secondhand Nokia P2000.

Next time try street girls without pimps. Further away from city centre the better. I suspect mamasan got P1000 and the girl got only P500. Sad but true , exploitation by the pimps is common.

Department Store girl you allude to sounds interesting. Seems your heading in the right direction. Eagerly await your part two and pics of any girls you impregnated.

Mahku :

"Altruistic acts of mercy".

I admire your gallantry and honourable modus operandi , ha ha.

ThanksBilbo - I can tell you it's really worth it for dental work. The standard of work is excellent. My mate who was there at the same time had much more significant work done eg root canal and crowns over about 3 days. She is fast, honest about what work you need and very professional. Even refused a tip of P500.

I'm not sure of how to get you the contact details details in this forum. But, find UM Multi Test on Ponciano Street. It's a big X-Ray clinic and all the cabs know it. Walk back towards the Marco Polo hotel about 30 meters until you see across the road, a small Burger bar and a computer shop on either side of an alley. Cross over and the clinic is about half way down (the alley) on the LHS, behind a large brown wooden front door. Open from 9.00am.

Mahku :

I admire your gallantry and honourable modus operandi , ha ha.I read quite a bit (in the forum) about the possibility of picking up the department store or mall cuties so I gave it a try.

I put a P500 note in my pocket with my first name and cell phone number on a bit a paper.

The girls are always eager to talk and share a joke with you while you shop. Chat them up in a group first and watch the body language etc. As you pay them attention, show them what you have bought, get their names, flatter them a bit and ask them about things etc you may notice one may be more attentive and responsive.

Single her out a bit and praise her in front of the others. Try walking away to explore the rest of the store then come back say 10 mins later. The idea is to gently get her away from the others or find her on her own, maybe on the pretext of helping you shop and continue to chat her up. You will be aware of the signals. Ask her where she likes to go out, her favorite drink etc etc.

With me it was a honey called Gladys. She told me she went out to a dance club the night before (at the Apo View I think) and did not enjoy it but was probably going out again somewhere that night. Jackpot. I selected something to buy from her area to take to the register and made sure no one saw me slip her the cash and my number, telling her it was a tip for being so lovely and helpful.

I asked her to text me when she finished work and invited her to dinner.
Her friends were none the wiser and sure enough she contacted me. Be aware that she probably won't want to be seen around the town on your arm so to speak because it's a small town and reputation is king. So be discreet. For example, I met her at the Apo View restaurant bar then after dinner we discreetly got a cab to my hotel where we had a few drinks and kicked back.

Next time I'd consider asking her to spend a couple of days out of town somewhere like EDEN? or one of the resorts in the mountains. BTW - safe?

I suppose I'm the guy to query about safety in the Davao region. In a nut shell you are much safer in Davao and its Environs (Including Eden) than ANYWHERE in Manila and ANYWHERE in The USA.

Good approach on the sales girls, thinning one out of the herd is the right way to do it the more discreet the better. But one doesn't really have to pass over a P500 note, in some ways this can be an insult, like she is for sale or something. Its your money of course but not really necessary, she threw enough hints to let you know she was interested and would have called w/o the note.

SpamhogThanks for that. So, are you saying that Davao would be a good place to consider relocating to (Oz wise that is) for a semi-permanent home base. I must say I walked everywhere and felt very comfortable. But how do you get on as a local actually living there for long parts of the year. EG would you need to consider extra precautions such as security etc or just move in a keep a low profile (kinda hard) lol.

Disclaimer:

1. I can not always Edit my posts. Hence excuse typo's etc. Seems to be a software malfunction. So long as I don't experience a wardrobe malfunction, all is well.

2. The following are my personal views only:

I see one of our brethren handed a shop assistant P500 tip.

This begs the question: when to tip and when not to tip.

At places where they expect tips, tip, as generally the girls are underpaid and find it hard to make ends meet on the eager wages they receive. For example, tip at Restaurants and sex spots.

People do not normally tip a shop assistant, so a tip to such person could be taken wrongly. For sure give her your cell phone number. The Manager, other girls, whoever is in the surrounds , will not mind, in fact they will be amused and happy for the girl to receive such an overture. They will not think prostitution, they will think boyfriend / marriage. Hand out your cell number to twenty different shop assistants, sit back and start having some fun.

Tipping, say an above average amount, to a Waitress, is in my view a little different. If the Manager sees the big tip, he might wonder if his employee is moonlighting as a Hooker. Why? Cause some Waitresses do moonlight as Hookers and the Manager knows, once the customer is finished with the girl he will not return to his Restaurant. Girl gains extra one off money, but Manager/Owner loses a potential regular customer.

Hotel Front Desk, Hotel Security, Laundry Lady, Taxi Driver, Waiters/Waitresses, Hookers, a tip is appreciated. Whereas such categories as: Shop Assistant at a Pharmacy for example, Dentist, Lawyer, Bank Employees, Airport Officials. Offering a tip to these kinds of folks could end up being embarrassing for all concerned.

If you happen to screw a nice shop assistant girl, next morning slip P1000 or whatever, in her purse/bag. She will most probably see you doing it and say nothing. If she protests loudly, she most probably has got marriage on her mind. Then you had better start running.

Do not hand Shop Assistant type of girls cash in the hand next morning. That spells prostitution. Only hand Hookers cash in hand.

If you think a good girl will react badly to you slipping cash in her purse, say to her "let's go shopping". No Philippine Lady will refuse that one, ha ha.

I did live and work in Davao for quite some time, I did all the things they tell you not to do also, never had a problem, that includes night fishing in the gulf, I rode a bicycle to Digos once, drove my old pickup all around
up in the Bukidnon valley and hiked Mt Apo. Never had a problem nor have I heard of other tourists or expats who did, a caveat I would place on that is "If they behaved themselves" go there and do stupid things and get involved in questionable activities and you will likely have a bad run in.

My decision to leave Davao for Cebu was a practical one, Cebu has more amenities for the expat, plus an international Airport easier to fly out of, you can find a size 12 shoe and some good western food and dont have to special order parts for your car when it breaks down. Property is cheaper in Dvao by far but you cant own it anyhow unless thru a wife. So if your intent
is to spend a few months out of the year in Davao as a semi permanent resident I would have to say good choice, very cheap, lots of girlies. Quite a number of your fellow Assies there too.

I had a look at previous pages and see on 8th March XMan placed a comprehensive report on hotel accommodation with website links , email addresses , phone numbers , prices etc. XMan is a reliable source.

For a cheap one I know : Sampaguita Tourist Inn , Mt Mayor St , Davao City. P450/550. Phone : 082.227 2958.

Did not see much about nightlife before 8th March , so look beyond that date for nightlife info. There is stacks of info if your willing to look.

Alternatively try the search function at top of this page. Any which way , after reading previous pages , and using search function , you can always get back to us and fine tune your research with specific questions.

The more homework you do , the better value your trip when you arrive.

ThanksI just stayed 4 nights at the Tower Inn E Quirino Ave Davao City (082) 221 1099. Ask for Mark. Central location, cost for a basic room (air con, good hot shower, Cable TV) was P3,000 for the 4 nights. Ask for a room on the 4th (top) floor. Good breakfast if you like bacon n eggs n coffee but the Mall is just 1 block away. Or, you can be adventurous and walk about 1km to the local morning market where you can buy all the local produce.

Tip, I bought round plastic baby bath from the supermarket and got the hotel staff to fill it with ice for me, kept it in the bathroom and used it as a beer n drinks cooler. Buy your beer from the supermarket while you are there - P24 a can! Enjoy.

I think, for those looking for rooms at less than Php1,000 a day, the Galleria is probably the best value for money in town. It's very centrally located on Gov. Duterte St. directly across the street from Davao Doctors Hospital, and you can get a nice, air-conditioned room with cable TV for Php800 or less. Because of its central location, it's an easy taxi ride from Rizal St. and its clubs and from all of the Hot Legs girlie bars. The place is clean, has a small swimming pool and is girl friendly. I've sent several people there recently all of whom were delighted with the place.

This is a summary for those too lazy to read earlier posts. However , there is no substitute for reading the previous pages , where you will get not just one opinion , but many opinions.

In the case of Davao City , I am a great believer in having a Plan B , lining up girls on the internet before arriving. Good girls can discretely moonlight as hookers this way. Websites asianeuro.com , filipinaheart.com or cherryblossom.com , should net you hookers and wannabe hookers. No pimps , barfines , ladies drinks. Way to go.

If it was me , I would arrive in Davao on a Friday morning to catch the weekend happenings.

Rizal Street : In the heart of town , and where you will find "The Boulevard" : This is an area with a live band and a number of mini bars. You will see an arch over the entrance , hopefully with the words Boulevard. For me , best chance to score a Lady is in the open middle strip , not the enclosed mini bars to the left and right of the centre strip.

Remember , this is not Cebu , do not expect too much. Even so , this is the most pleasant place for me in Davao. Some eye candy , cheap beer , music , lively atmosphere. Be careful your not hitting on a girl in the company of a Filipino guy. It's a Filipino spot , not a mongers spot , but nice nevertheless. 10/11pm on' it takes off.

You can safely walk around Rizal St. There are little night spots here and there , including Restaurants
.
For example , there is a spot called : "Someplace Else" Bar , also in Rizal St. Walking from Boulevard to a place called Chico's , it only takes 2 mins. Enter the small path way to right of Chico's , past a small Restaurant to "Someplace Else" Bar also on your right.

Sit at front tables , sip a beer , and you might score. Across the way and a few short metres , in full view , is De Bonte Koe. Favourite Restaurant amongst foreigners.

Venue Disco : This is not located in Rizal St. It's a short taxi ride away. Another Filipino social spot. Also other night venues close by. Same chances as Rizal St. Although girls in Rizal St seem more 'hip'

Convenience Store : Located at corner of Illustre and J Camus Sts , 3 mins walk from Apo View Hotel , and 1 min walk from Casa Leticia accommodation. This often touted place is a long shot at best. Arrive 7/8pm leave 10pm , as there has been some strife here late at night in the past. Nursing Students from nearby College etc and others do fraternise at this place early on. Normally , you will find any pretty girl well covered by the local lads. Once , I accepted an invite to a table , two guys one attractive girl. All drinking beer. Usually a waste of time , but I was alcohol affected and sat at their table. I bought about P200 of drinks for them over time and ended up with the girl. The lads encouraged the encounter. Extremely rare for it to happen that way , I tell you.

You can walk around Davao Streets and find more places like that. If after a sip or two , you see signs of potential strife , move out quickly. Never happened to me , but could happen , especially late at night when the local lads are inebriated. Another reason for paying as you go. You do not have to wait for a chit before leaving. Just up and out of there , leaving a cheap P25/U$50c beer behind you , if necessary.

Places where you pay for play :

Street Hookers. Very cheap : P300 short time. P500/700 all night. This is what experienced guys pay. If the girl your talking to is under the control of a pimp then the price might go up. Pimps sometimes take up to two thirds of the agreed amount. Girl the balance.

Even so , I had a girl that I met in the company of a young male pimp for P500 all night. Gave per P1000 next morning. You will come across these street girls in the area neighbouring Apo View Hotel. Also many other parts of Davao City. More street girls than Cebu City , in my mind. Further away from the city centre , there are less pimps. Trawl in a taxi , no need to leave taxi , girls will come to you in taxi. Do not consider anything that looks too young. It could be a police set up that will cost you a lot of anguish and money. Back at Hotel with a girl , watch your valuables , and use condoms of course.

C.M Recto Street : Here there are native style show places , a bit sleazy. About four in all. Try Hot Legs 2 , formerly called Stag Club. If you do not like this one , then you will most probably not like the others nearby , which have less girls and are even more sleazy.

The big thing to know at Hot Legs 2 is , management tries to get you involved with Ladies Drinks. Props a girl at your table , she might order a 'single' which will cost in vicinity of P150 , then she might order a second drink , watch this one , it could be a 'double' , that is , P300. Your sitting there thinking the drinks are P150 when only the first one was. Before you know it , your bill in this seedy joint runs into the thousands.

Last time I was there , I declined their offer of a girl at my table , drank cheap beer , and watched the tease show for a few mins.

Don't forget , ask "how much" before you order anything. Pay as you go is safest way , no padded chit later on. Your drink is very reasonable , its the Ladies Drinks you've got to be wary of. Bar Fines etc are ridiculous. If hot for some babe , slip her your cell number , and screw her in your Hotel next day for P1000.

GoGo Bars : There are nil in Davao City. Mayor Duturte does not approve of them. But strip tease/titillation places there are , eg C.M. Recto St. Work that out !

Cabaguio Street : A little away from the city centre and in this street , there is a complex called "Plaza Roman". Last time I was there it housed about five different sex outlets. All upscale compared to CM Recto St. One of these outlets is a Massage joint , where the girls were dressed Roman style. Nothing cheap at any of the places in this complex either , but you might like to check it out. They had P150/200 entrance fees for each and every establishment. Didn't enquire about Ladies Drinks. Expensive , I should think. Girls here are a little more sophisticated and professional.

Casa's/Brothels : They do exist. Taxi drivers know all of them. What I saw did not impress me.

If you have already experienced Manila , Angeles or Cebu City , arrive in Davao without Internet contacts , and you came for sex only , I think you will have experienced enough after two or three nights. Personal opinion only , of course.

It's good to see GE back from his long hiatus. I hope life is treating you well.

I also had good impressions of Galleria, but they once showed me a room that smelled moldy. That was two years ago, so maybe the problem has been rectified. I guess it takes only one egghead to leave a wet towel on the carpet for the day to make a room smell funky for the next guest. I seem to remember some rooms have windows that look out over the couryard pool

I think I once looked at a room at Tower Inn, but it had just been painted and had that paint smell. Does anyone have a phone no. or email or URL for Tower Inn?

Sorry, after I posted my report, I scrolled down and found that Jacaranda has made a report about Tower Inn. Thank you for that.

I was hoping for a 5week trip, including Davao, starting in July. Unfortunately, the employer has other ideas.

Maybe three weeks, but not sure about Davao. I'm thinking of trying someplace completely new like Leyte or revisiting a place I haven't been to in many years like Puerto Galera / Tagaytay.

SPamhogSo, Spamhog, I'm going to put you on the spot here semi-permanant relocation wise. Cebu seems to win out (for your reasons above) with the only caveat that a good piece of freehold property will cost more than Davao. So what would you suggest appropo income producing real estate wise (commercial versus apartments), any ideas on yield versus capital gain opportunities expectations or just park it in Oz and live off the interest. You'll have to put your financial investment advisor hat on for this one lol.

We foreigners can not own land in the Philippines.

Friend of mine is currently in the process of losing his two story mansion built in the Philippines. He built it on land he purchased in his Filipino wifes name. Now she wants the lot , and will get it. The cost of the building and land is lost forever.

Another friend in Cebu , bought land and house , happy marriage , decided to re-locate to homeland , England. Took three years to find a buyer , and then he sold for much less than he paid for it. Finding buyers for a Phil 'investment' is a very hard ask. Cash is hard to come by in the Philippines. Many sellers , few buyers.

And then there is the filipino squatter problem. If you do not occupy the property all the time , others will come along and do it for you. Very hard to get rid of squatters.

Others who have settled in the Philippines will read your post and offer their advice. I will be interested to hear what they have to say.

Rent , do not buy.

Interest earned in your country will pay for the rent. You will still have your capital , and it's much easier to move out of rented premises. Flexibility , and more money in the pocket. Way to go.

I'll just have to start a business or too in PI to offest the tax I'll be earning in Oz and keep my PI girlfriend away from the capital.

I'll also welcome anyone else who wants to post about this thread. IE living in PI on income generated 'back home' and maybe running a small business enterprise.

Hate to beg the differ with you Joking but renting is probably more of a hassle than you might think. One cannot just get up and go if you're renting in the PI. You need to have a "clearance" before you are allowed to remove your items from the premises. Your landlord has to approve of the clearance and you have to have all your utilities paid upto the day you are no longer living in the property.

Once you have competed the check off sheet, your landlord has to sign off and you will be permitted to leave with your belongings. Most leases will show you get your deposit back within 30 days but in actuality, the landlord will find something you broke or needs fixing where you will get very little back or nothing at all.

When I left my condo, they charged for everything from cleaning the place to replacement of new filter screens for the air conditioner, replacing light bulbs, etc. Believe me, they will find something to keep your deposit for. I believe its better to own your own condo, less hassle to leave or sell if you want to move on.

Almost 35yrs down the track , I am still visiting the Philippines , sometimes four times a year , six months at a time on occasions , and enjoying myself like no other place on earth.

The Philippines is a happy destination for me , the happiest in the world.

Why ? Cause I do not misinterpret it. What does that mean ? Read on :

On my very first trip to the Philippines in the early 1970's , I was told by an old wealthy Australian : "earn money in a rich country , spend it in a poor one".

I immediately ignored his advice and invested , admittedly only hundreds of dollars initially , in a project. Lost the lot of course.

From that point on I sat back and watched folks come to the Philippines and lose their life savings etc.

Philippines is designed for spending money. Its not designed for foreigners to make money. Once you start trying to make money in the Philippines the smile on your face will soon disappear.

I sound like a doomsayer , I know.

Its easy for folks to talk about the positive side of the Philippines , difficult for them to bring to the surface the negative side. Why ? Cause we love the Philippines , spend a lot of time there , and don't want to poo in our own nest , ha ha.

There is very little negative to the Philippines when 1 : You gain enough experience to avoid the many scams and 2 : You travel to the Philippines to spend money and not to make money.

Many retirees are enjoying their twilight years in friendly Philippines. Some lucky young studs are sent there by their employer. That's a different kettle of fish to running a business in the Philippines.

Sorry for pouring cold water on your dreams. But the playground you just visited is not a playground , if your intention is to make money there.

To this day , I come up with dreams/ideas that have me located in the Philippines , but common sense prevails. Consequently , I still enjoy the Philippines and I still have a smile on my face.

It pays to check out the negative side of everything , before making a decision. Others will come forward with a more positive spin. I will not argue with them. You need to hear both sides before making a decision. But do not rush in.

If you opened your private message facility I could tell you more. Pitfalls re biz , pitfalls re renting in Phil etc etc. Don't want to bore experienced folks with all that stuff on these pages.

When you know all the pitfalls , you can enjoy the Philippines even more , like myself and others do.

In respect of renting , doing biz , living in the Philippines. Been there , done that.

Others hopefully , will chime in with their experiences and advice.

Just re-read your post re investing in the Philippines.

Here is a nice little project , even I , the Doomsayer would enjoy.

Set your girlfriend up in a Sari Sari Store.

Requirements for success as a fun project 1. Must be set up on girlfriends home premises ,even if squatter house. Operate from front of house , like so many others do. No rent to pay this way. 2. You personally go to hardware shop , buy materials etc. for minor modifications to house , eg window to serve customers through 3. Let them go for it , build it doing it their way , they know what works in that particular respect. 4. You personally accompany your girlfriend and buy the goods you intend to sell , you do not , repeat do not give a bundle of cash to anyone. Together you two and maybe others go and buy the goods. You handing out cash as required. P1000 should get it up and running 5. You sit back , do not dictate or anything and let them go for it.

Legally you can not run a business anyway , and for sure stay well clear of the money , some jealous neighbour might make a story up about you and you find yourself deported from the Philippines ha ha.

Another reason we do not tangle with business in the Phil. We do not want to risk being deported and thus exiled from our beloved Philippines.

Whilst girlfriend and in-laws are busy running the business , your elsewhere having fun , and you know what kind of fun I am talking about. Ideal project for both of you.

I have run similar projects in the Philippines to help poor folks get started. They crashed each and every time. I invested around P5000 each time. I'll keep doing this from time to time , when I find the right person/s to sponsor. Money I can afford to lose. One day someone will succeed. That will be nice to see.

You must do a stocktake after first week and demonstrate to them they are already going backwards and losing money , ha ha. Do not put any more money in cause they are losing money. You lose P5000 , they gain a free lesson. Filipino's think its just a matter of capital , not so , I know , I have run businesses including a Supermarket in a third world country , and ran it successfully might I add.

"Make money in a rich country" , you might say. Yes , but I was a citizen of that third world country at that time and owned and ran the business legally in my own right as any other native of that country could. I was not a foreigner of that country during that phase of my life. I could send profits out of that country too. Try doing that in the Philippines , ha ha.

So , view the Philippines as a fun project. Do not view it seriously , or the smile on the dial will soon disappear.

Keep your precious aussie dollars for you and your girlfriend and not for her thieving in-laws , ha ha. Send her back to school , to get an even better education and better job. That kind of investment will last her lifetime , and it will still give you free time to have fun whilst she is busy studying those books , and making a future for herself.

Ever forward mongers true. We get sidetracked with girlfriends , dreams and schemes , that is true. But at the end of the day all we want , is a screw.

Hey , ol Timer , good on you for posting that.

Very true about leaving an apartment whatever , but I feel uncomfortable about buying anything in the Philippines , including a Condo , for the reasons similar to why I would not buy a house and lot in the Philippines.

To avoid those nasties involved with renting you mentioned , I decided to scout around and find a nice place where its homely , cheap , safe and girl friendly. What with all my years in the Philippines I finally found such a place , about 20 odd years ago , and I am not telling anyone where it is either , ha ha. Do not want to front up and find its booked out by you lot , ha ha. I'm renting a room , and only forking out money when I am using it. No lease , no nasties.

Pay as you go Philippines. Way to go. Everything , pay as you go , sex included of course. No free sex , forget that one , pay as you go.

So , I pay for my nice room , very cheap , around U$10 per day , I have stacks of girls coming and going , and all is well with the management. When the time comes , I check out , and no nasty sting in the tail and no condo to try and sell whatever , further on down the line. My condo money is earning me more back home and it's safer back home.

In addition to important points Ol Timer brought out , I'd like to add one. I was renting long term in Philippines. Was forced out of rented premises. Why ? Neighbours objected to me having different girls visiting me all the time. Monger in their midst , ha ha. Landlord told me to move out , no recompense , otherwise he'd report me to the police. Conservative Philippines at work. Can happen when you move into Filipino neighbourhoods. I do not have that problem with the accommodation I found and still have nowadays , 20yrs down the track. I also have a security guy at front door , same place , assisting me when needed. Was needed once , another story.

So , Jacaranda and others. Its what you feel comfortable with that counts. Not what I feel comfortable with. Ol Timer has got his scene sorted out , I've got mine. J and other newcomers , you should serve out your apprenticeship. Do not rush , slow down , concentrate on having fun first.

Ol Timer , I would like to read your run down on Davao. You posted recently saying you were there. See your posting stuff in Makati Board too. Got you covered , ha ha. Your pussy report on Davao please. Thanks.

OK , I am now going to park my pen , sit back and read stuff from you guys. I know some of you have condo's , maybe house and lot etc and in Davao too , so let's hear from you about that , and the sex scene in Davao while your at it.

I'm in the mood for reading. Done enough writing for now. Other voices please.

05-16-07, 08:45

So, Spamhog, I'm going to put you on the spot here semi-permanant relocation wise. Cebu seems to win out (for your reasons above) with the only caveat that a good piece of freehold property will cost more than Davao. So what would you suggest appropo income producing real estate wise (commercial versus apartments), any ideas on yield versus capital gain opportunities expectations or just park it in Oz and live off the interest. You'll have to put your financial investment advisor hat on for this one lol.

Okay, once again my friend...YOU CANNOT OWN LAND IN THE PHILIPPINES
ONLY A FILIPINO CITIZEN CAN!!! If you get married, you can "own" jointly, but most foreigners I know don't even bother putting their name on the title.
Bottom line, write off any property you "own", your wife or her family have all the rights.

If you marry and your wife dies, her "half" goes to relatives, I know of one guy in this situation, he wants to sell, get his "half" (at a profit) and give the relatives the other half...being pinoy they don't want to cooperate and want to live in the house...as is their right. They can't maintain it of course, only the widower can...real nightmare.

Rent, rent and rent again, you will likely have to fork over three months rent and be locked into a one year contract. You can sometimes rent furniture or the house comes fully furnished, these are the best deals, if you get sick of it and go back to OZ, you would have to liquidate your possessions, something hard to do here unless you go to a pawn shop and get 500 for a
P12,000 Samsung TV on warranty. There are a few places that you can rent month to month, most are hotels, good deal, I've done it before.

Stay away from Condo's, hard to sell, harder to rent and likely depreciate rather than Appreciate.

Investment wise I only keep six weeks money to live off of in the PI. The bulk of my investments is in the good ol' U.S. Stock market where it stays. I have an emergency fund, if ever the SHTF I can bug out of the country with some cash to hold me over. I've tried to invest int he Pinoy stock market or currency speculation, hard to do, not easy, few brokers, nothing online to manage yourself like TD waterhouse etc.

Jobs to keep your wife or GF busy? The sari sari is a good one, they love to buy and sell. Mrs Spamhog pawns rice fields at 30% she makes money at it but not advisable unless you have the contacts to make it happen as she does.

I would recommed you set her up with one of these little franchises in the mall
selling hot dogs or cookies/dunkin donuts whatever, keeps her busy and you know where shes at hahahhaha.

Folks like Spamhog , GoodEnough , XMan , and others often put valuable stuff on this website , but rarely do you hear "Thanks" for their contributions.

It's the impersonal internet at work I know , but it doesn't cost anything to say thanks , and it encourages more contributions.

Thank you SpamHog and Joking for the excellant take on renting vs buying aprnt/ houses..

It has cleared lot of grounds for my landing in cebu, I was going with renting a house against an aparnt in cebu as Joking mentioned for the fear of being not allowed GFs in regularly.

I was also confused whether to have furnished house or buy all things, now i know all things once owned is hard to sell again :)

I'm a regualar in Indian forum, but Philiphines is a sea change or rather i will be in different planet i think once i come in Cebu and considering both countries are in Asia but the level of entertainment and pleasure are in different spheres altogether :)

Will update on my travel and settling down very soon.

Thank you once again for sharig your experiences.

If you are thinking of renting in Cebu I think you can get something in the P10,000 to P15,000 fully furnished, this would be a small house in a subdivision, in Lahug area, I CAUTION YOU, there are water shortages in most subdivisions, you should make specific queries to any potential landlord along these lines and they are likely to BS you, ask neighbors, they will clue you.If you wish to give me a PM I can give you specifics etc.

There is one fellow living in this particular subd (I won't say what country) but he has a different girl in there every night, he usually gets drunk and causes a scene at times too, nobody cares as long as he pays on time every month.

Renting a hotel room for a month at a time is gonna be P20,000 plus (Richmond Hotel) there are a few pensiones on Gorordo st (Lahug area) that run under P10,000 furnished but they are crap holes IMHO.

05-26-07, 10:15

Smiley...is that your definition, or something actually printed?

My Oxford says monger = dealer /trader - as in fishmonger. Then "spreader" as in scandalmonger.

So, using that definition, a pimp is a *****monger. But I think usage has evolved because I think all the low lifes on this board are also *****mongers.

X man definition: to run amok. So, a *****monger is someong who has run amok in (or among) the world's oldest profession.

Jacaranda..my apology. Your question wasn't nearly as stupid as I first thought. I think I'll go back to school and do research on international sex talk. "fukky sukky?"

You guys who have the lingo...how about some naughy phrases in Tagalog / Visayan / Pigmy or whatever. Inquiring minds want to know!

What is the situation in Davao (Cebu and the Philippines generally) for purchasing Cialis and Viagra? I have read about the hustlers in Angeles City but no information in the last year about Davao. Prescription only? Any little friendly pharmacies? Price? Generic Cialis and Viagra (eg Kamagra). Or should I purchase it out of the country eg Singapore?

This Davao has been of tremendous value to me, and great entertainment if you start at the beginning. It took me many days to read and I have taken many notes. Thanks to GoodEnough (I am not supposed to mention DS) SpamHog, Joking and many others of you. I hope to apply the benefits gained in July-August!

I've never seen anyone selling the stuff on the street as is done on Burgos in Makati. Maurice who, until recently owned O'Flannagan's sold both behind the counter but I don't know about the new owner. You can buy both of them here at most Mercury drug stores, but the price is about Php550 a pill. You're probably better off buying the stuff before you get to Davao, but if you forget or run out, go to a Mercury and just tell the pharmacist that you do have a prescription but you left it in the US, the UK or wherever. It works every time.

05-29-07, 14:45

550? Wow.

I got Cialis for 175 a pill at an AC Perimeter bar back in March. It was my first time and it worked far beyond my expectations.

I ended up doing three pills in three days, which was a mistake. I'm not sure which ache was worse - the ache in my balls or the raging headache I had. I found that biting off half was enough to help me firm up my evening plans as well as some morning appointments.

Would it be cheaper at Mercury if you had a prescription? If so, It might be worth your while to go to a doctor. And if not, I can now think of yet one more reason to go to Angeles city.

If you've been to AC you have probably seen him, he is a fixture walking up and down Fields av with a big shoulder bag, tall guy, about 30, long hair and a couple of gold teeth, real friendly guy.

hi everyone,

i just returned from davao and thought i'd pass along a quick trip report. i was there for a couple of days to attend a wedding of an american buddy of mine. he met his wife at an internet marriage website called cherry blossoms, which mainly caters to filipina women. from all appearances it seems that a sizable percentage of women in the phils are using the net to find a foreign mate. my friend's wife says many of her female friends have had men come to visit them, and a couple of visits have resulted in marriage. she says there are indeed a lot of scammers out there, but she insists her friends are honest and sincere women who are tired of being treated like crap by local men and think that a foreign man would be more honest, loving, and supportive. i’m sure that financial security comes into play as well, but i have no reason not to believe what she says.

based on the reactions and vibrations i received from women in the days leading up to the wedding and at the reception, i'm positive i could have had freebies with some of her single friends and other female members of the wedding party. but this is my fourth trip to the philippines and one thing i've learned is that free sex in the phils is never free. filipinas become attached to a man faster than you can imagine, and the ensuing break up is usually an act of drama with lots of guilt being tossed the man‘s way. so i've learned to resist temptation and not bed acquaintances. besides, it's easy to find and bed relatively good looking women for very little money and not much work in the phils.

all of us have different standards in women. some men won't be satisfied unless they can find a perfect "10" where price is no object, while other men are bargain hunters searching for the cheapest hunk of meat they can find. for me, i want someone who looks exotic, like the more native-looking filipinas.....i love short and petite women who have dark skin, cute flat noses, long hair, toothy smiles, and wear those sexy 3 inch heels with tight jeans. they are the women many asians find to be somewhat unattractive, but many of we westerners seem to prefer because they are so exotic compared to normal american women.

anyway, on to the report. i stayed at the casa leticia for the first time, which is located on j. camus street in downtown near the apo view hotel. i booked an executive room single for $52 us, and unfortunately there wasn't much executive style about the room. i will admit the room was clean, but the towels and bedsheets were thin and often stained, and the air conditioner was noisy. i could have stayed at the apo view hotel for 2900 pesos per night (around $60 us), and i found my previous stay at the apo view to be first rate. oh well, you live and learn.

previous posts here at the forum have indicated that the casa leticia is near what's known as "ground zero" for picking up freelancers in davao. i won't disagree with that assessment, but it's not like there's dozens of working women milling around waiting for men to pick them up. coming out the front door of the hotel, if you turn left and walk a short distance there is a cafe-type place with a dozen or so outside tables. i'm a friendly man but not overly outgoing, but still found it easy to strike up conversations with the locals. two women asked if they could come with me, but they really weren't my cup of tea so i passed.

my first piece of action was found not more than 50 yards from the hotel. my first night (friday) i walked out the front door of the hotel, turned right and started strolling down j. camus street. i started passing by a small convenience store and an old haggard mamasan came up to me and asked if i wanted a girl. out from in front of the shop came a sweet faced pinay, dressed in a tank top, capri jeans, and 3 inch black heels. her face had a bit of acne, but she was nonetheless cute. she had a wide smile and seemed embarassed to be talking to me, but my intuition told me she found me attractive and desirable. i can't remember her name, but she looked about 16 years old, however mamasan said she was 19.

the quoted price was 1000 pesos for short time and 1500 for long time. i know i probably could have found cheaper service elsewhere but i didn't have the energy to go searching, so i struck up a deal for short time.

1000 pesos ($20) was about the least amount of money i spent for "service" during my recent trip to asia, but it was 1000 pesos well spent. there's an old saying, "the cheaper the grapes, the sweeter the wine", and in this case it was true. i'm a "one pop and i'm ready to sleep" kind of guy so i didn't keep her around more than 90 minutes. her english wasn't very good, which is probably why she needed a mamasan to drum up business, but we still were able to communicate fairly easily. she was very submissive and agreed to do anything i asked, except for nude photos. she loved posing for me in her clothes, but was shy about the naked stuff. the most i got was a photo of her in her bra, but at least i have the memories. had the choice of uncovered or covered bj, and of course the intercourse was covered. she loved kissing......filipinas are simply the best and most aggressive kissers i've ever encountered. i didn't ask her for anal (for me it's a one way street, haha), so i'm not sure if she would have gone for it.

i'm the kind of guy who likes variety, so i wanted someone different for my second night in town. the next night i didn't want to have to pass by the mamasan again, so i did the chickenshit thing and bypassed her by walking down the street directly behind the hotel (the one o'flannigans is on) and headed toward the center of town. downtown davao is a lively place on saturday night, with lots of action down at the rizal promenade. but after a long day of wedding activities i didn't have the strength to "play the game" in finding someone, so i just walked the streets and started heading back toward the apo view hotel.

i found downtown davao to be a very safe place to walk at night. i always keep my wits about me and never walk down dark alleys and try to avoid groups of men on the sidewalk. but unlike the slimy ermita and malate areas of manila, i've never been pestered or hassled by anyone. there are a few ktvs and a couple of brothels in the area between rizal street and the road the apo view is located, but i didn't venture into any of them.

the apo view hotel is located at a prominent intersection with four streets converging at odd angles. when i walked by, another old skanky mamasan ran over from the corner directly across from the hotel, grabbed my arm and asked if i wanted "chicks". immediately 3 girls walked over to me. the price was the same as the previous night and i selected the 1000 short time with another 20 year old cutie that couldn't speak very much english. it was pretty much a repeat of the last encounter.......very nice and sweet girl, skilled but not too professional, and some genuine passion on her part. i could tell she really liked being with me and i had to kick her out of the room so i could get some sleep, haha.

i know this post wasn't too exciting, but it illustrates that a man never has to sleep alone while in davao. davao certainly isn't a a prime mongering destination and i'd never come here simply for the sex. but from a tourist's point of view there's plenty to do and see here (eden nature park, paradise island beach park, pearl farm, alligator zoo, gap farm, butterfly park, eagle zoo) to keep someone entertained for at least 3 days.

one last thing before i close……..at the airport there are several layers of security, with two sets of metal detectors. at the second set of detectors i was putting my carry on bag on the scanner and one of the screeners who was taking a break said hi to me. she was around 25 years old, pretty but not gorgeous. i said hi back and she asked where i was from (usa). she then asked if i had learned any of the visayan language during my trip. i said i only knew mabuhay and salamat. she then said i needed to learn a new word, which sounded something like “pogi”. i asked her what that meant and she said it means “handsome”, and then she walked over and gave me a big hug, gigged and gave me a big grin.

after feeling for my wallet (which was still there, haha) i smiled and said “salamat” and then headed for the plane. it’s amazing how a small token act of kindness and affection put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. i only wish i had met her 3 days earlier, of course!

editor's note: i certainly hope that the author or somebody else will post a link to this report in the reports of distinction thread. please click here (http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/announcement-reportsofdistinction.php?) for more information.

I was thinking of going to Davao for a few days, but I have heard that the smoking ban is enforced there in bars and resturant. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not!

As an x smoker for a few years now (God I still miss em) I can confirm that D is non smoking in venues. However when I went to one of the bar fine type clubs, I found some of the girls between dances, in a room upstairs off to the right of the toilets, all sitting around on an old sofa, having a fag or two. They invited me in (kinda like the employee's break room only much shabbier) and we all shared some smokes and a laugh.

So you can rarely smoke inside but I think this was the exception at this place rather than the rule.

Even my hotel was non smoking. As they say, "We're a dying breed lol".

It is absolutely true, and the ban is strictly enforced. There's no smoking in a public, enclosed area anywhere in Davao: not in restaurants, not in bars, and not in the public spaces in hotels. However, you can smoke outside, and some places do having enclosed smoking rooms.

I am a smoker, so I have to cope with this all the time, but it's really not too bad. The weather here is so good that going outside, or eating outside is never a problem. When I go to Henny's place for example, I typically eat at one of the outdoor tables, and when I'm elsewhere, I'll go outside once during the meal to have a cigarette.

That place by the way I had a smoke with the girls, was Hot Legs, but read my report and all the othes (back a few pages in the Davao thread) before you bar fine anyone. One real nugget from this excellent guide is to go to the club, chat up some honeys that take your fancy, don't commit on the night but get their cell numbers and call them for a daytime visit the next day - mucho cheaper.

As for hotels - I saw you asked for suggestions on another post. Try Tower Inn E Quirino Ave Davao City (082) 221 1099. Ask for Mark. Central location, cost for a basic room (air con, good hot shower, Cable TV) was P3,000 for the 4 nights. Ask for a room on the 4th (top) floor. Good breakfast if you like bacon n eggs n coffee but the Mall is just 1 block away.

Be warned, standard hotel room and haggle for this price though. Thin sheets and towels! If you have the budget and like a bit more luxury, go the Marco Polo or Apo View.

Plus, worth browsing this forum at length from an Internet cafe as suggested if you only have a hand held.

Finally, if you want a good massage in Davao - walk along Ponciano Street, away from the Marco Polo (ie with the traffic as it's one way) on the left hand side, for a short while. You'll come across a barber shop and a massage place. Go for the big PI girl with a slightly loopy left eye. Pls post a report for us all.

With all due respect to Jacaranda, there are much better deals in town than the Tower Inn. If you're looking for that price range, I would suggest the Galleria, which is just of Quirino St. and diagonally across from Davao Doctors Hospital. It's got clean, fairly large rooms, very clean, for about Php800 and it's a lot nicer than the Tower Inn. It's also got a small pool and a small lobby restaurant, though there are lots of places to eat in the vicinity. It has the added attraction of being within a 5 minute walk of the nursing school, and you can always go to one of the dozens of coffee shops near the school to chat up members of the white uniform brigade, most of whom would be delighted to meet a foreign man.

The Marco and the Apo View are not nearly in the same class. The Marco is Davao's only 5 star hotel and it's got all of the accoutrements of such places. The Apo is more like a 3 star masquerading as a 4 star, and it hasn't had any money spent on it for years. The Casa Leticia is much nicer (my opinion only) than the Apo, and it's slightly less expensive and right around the corner. The Grand Regal, which is a 3 star pretending to be a 5 star is about the same price as the Apo, but nicer. However, it's a fair distance from the center of the action in Davao, and in my view, isn't worth the price or the journey.

Succinctly, if you're on a budget of less than Php1,000, go for Galleria. If price is not a consideration, go for the Marco Polo. If you're somewhere between these two extremes, go for Casa Leticia.

Dear Friends

Thank you all. Appreciate the great detailed reports on Davao by DS, Good Enough, X Man, Spam Hog, Joking, Cebu Local (and others as well).

After reading most of then, I now have decided, I must give it a try. I am coming to Davao in Mid August. I will stay at Galleria as suggested by Good Enough. (budget constraint-Rather spend money on pussy and food then a fancy hotel room).

A few questions for residents:

*Like some other places does Davao has any “joiner” fee? Do I need to clarify that I intend to bring overnight visitors? Or it’s all included in the room rate?

**What’s approx. cost to use taxi for driving around to “checkout” different hangouts of semi-pro and pro ladies-- as someone has suggested in some reports.

**Any recommendation for a few trusted, knowledgeable (mongering scene) taxi drivers- name, mobile # would be a great help.

Thanks again

One way is $345US, r/t is $575. You need to book by July 15 and travel from Sept. 1- Dec. 15, 2007. Not sure if you need to originate from Manila or not but check it out if your looking for a deal!

Thanks againWhen I was there, I just walked in the front door with girls and up to my room. Just a big hi to the security guy and staff as you swan in and it's all cool. There may have been sniggering behind my back but never any problems. Mind you I took the time to find out their names, tip them and the room cleaners of all my loose Peso's which they really appreciate.

As for cabs, all the fares anywhere of interest in Davao will cost you less that P100. Don't give it a second thought, just get in and go.

Sorry can't suggest any cabbies as I did my selections by just walking around.

The short answer to all of your questions is "no." You do not have to be uptight about anything related to finding women or bringing them back to your room. There are no joiner fees and you don't have to alert any hotel staff to anything or to tip them for the privilege of brining back guests. It's all very laid back. You don't need any special taxi cab drivers either. All of the drivers will know where to go--all of the clubs and casas. Just make sure that you don't fall for the "my meter is broken" crap and you'll be just fine.

After a trip that took in London, eastern Europe, and Dubai it's good to be back in Davao. Although the other places are great and each has their own charms Davao is definitely hard to beat. Two student girls that I had lined up online met me yesterday when I first arrived. Both were eager to get physical without any special encouragement from me. More will follow in the coming days.

I took the girls out to Henny's De Bonte Koe, Rizal Promenade, Autoshop, and Picobello Italian restaurant in Gaisano South. Everywhere we went other female eyes followed greedily and looked like they wanted to take the place of the one I was with.

Tonight I left one of the girls sleeping in my bed and got out on my own. I went to Someplace Else and Bar 183 on Rizal Street. In both places girls were latching on to me. I would rate the girls at about a 5 or 6. If I had an empty bed back in my room or the girls were a bit higher on the scale I might have found a way to take them for some action at one of the cheaper hotels. But I'll be back on future nights when circumstances are better, things look so good.

Next week one of my girls from two years ago will get married. I met her and her fiance tonight at Autoshop. She was looking better than ever and if I were the monogomous type I would never have let her go. But in Davao one can find girls like her (gorgeous, intelligent, funny, good company) regularly. The wedding next week should be a good opportunity to work on some bridesmaids and other guests.

Walking back to the Marco Polo just now I passed by an interesting looking place that I hadn't seen before, called Station 91. It's a live band place, all local, no airconditioning or any other comforts to speak of. I would be shocked if another foreigner had ever staggered in there. There were several tables that had all ladies and I got some phone numbers from one. It's on the same street as Marco Polo.

On the same street, there's a new internet cafe. It's got comfy chairs and the couple of times I've gone in there there have been several tasty looking things loitering around. I'll keep going there and look further into what may be "downloaded" from this place.

Lastly, on another thread that also deals with Davao, I see there has been an unwelcome reappearance of the infamous "stalker" rants. I challenge the poster of these rants (or anyone else who wants to discuss about this) to meet me face to face, LIKE A MAN, rather than continueing with this girlie fighting-like sniping from behind the safety of a computer screen. If you are the great man of class that you are acclaimed to be you will do so. GE has my number. Or failing that, at least let's just go about our own business without redredging crap that happened 3 years ago, for God's sake. I didn't bother you today at the elevator because you were with your girl and I hadn't yet seen your sophomoric post. YOU checked with the front desk if I was staying there? And tell me again....who's the stalker? I thought you usually stay at Casa Leticia. I always stay at the same hotel.

My wife was born and raised in nearby Davao del Sur, but she now resides in Davao City when she is not with me here in Los Angeles. She continually complains about how miserable the weather is there. Because of an acute shortage of taxis with aircons, she says, and even though it takes only 15 minutes to get to the mall in a taxi without aircon, her make-up and hair are falling apart by the time she arrives.

My own experience with Davao City is that the weather is miserable--even worse than Manila, where I once resided for 3 years, which is why I stay in Angeles rather than Manila whenever my wife visits Davao.

Here is Yahoo Weather as of this moment: Angeles 79 degrees (but "feels like 83"); Davao 77 (but "feels like 80"), however, those stats notwithstanding and for reasons that I cannot explain, I've never felt as miserable in Angeles as I have in Davao City.

Any comment?

weather: yea, it was damn hot in davao yesterday, but by evening it was cool enough to sit outside for dinner. i also spent some time at jack's ridge, and it was quite comfortable (unless you're hiking up and down their steps).

as for the ladies, also damn hot. yesterday, i got checked into casa leticia and set up a meeting at the mall. i got there a little early and saw a shapely, exotic looking lady waiting for the jeepney. i chatted her up and gave her my number. she is a cashier in one of the stores and works 9 to 9 except for yesterday, so i'm not expecting much. nevertheless, she has been texting me and i might meet her after work today.

as for the lady i met at the mall, we went out here and there. my touch testing indicated green light, but she seemed reluctant to kiss. she seemed tired and i suggested we go to my room for a "rest" and then go out later. lukewarm response, so we stopped at venue for a beer - she picked colt 45. hmmmm. now she's tired and a bit drunk. we left and i offered to get her a cab. she said she had to [CodeWord134] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134) first. well, i just happened to have a fully functioning toilet in my hotel room. about five hours from first meeting to intercourse. sent her on her way and then enjoyed a little jazz at chicos.

davao is good.

I would like to add this one to the recommended Davao hotels.

Was there last weekend after finding Casa Leitica, Galleria and one or two others fully booked.

Las Casitas is just one year old and is located at 185 Rizal Street, just 50 metres from the Rizal Promenade (more like an arcade than a promenade). Great hotel good service and only about 300 metres from the so-called "Ground Zero" action.

I was in a Casitas De Luxe for 1600 pesos, less 20% for its first anniversary celebration. There is a couple of Executive Suites with Jacuzzi plus, which might appeal to DS and others that can afford it.

I have had a month mongering in the Phils and a month to go. Will take a break this week and climb Mt Apo (the highest in the Phils) and back to Davao. Davao and the Phils certainly living up to all expectations.

Thanks to ISG, GoodEnough, Dragon Slayer, SpamHog, and to and the many others who have provided such valuable information.

I will give a full report of my trip at a later date, but I am still taste testing!

I got this name from someone in Davao chat room on Yahoo MSGR.

Hotel Orange Grove
123 Crossing Buhangin, 8000 Davao City. Philippines
Tel. # (6382) 241-0787, 241-1883
241-0844 and 241-2558

http://www.orangegrovehotel-davao.com/index.htm

Since I have never been to Davao- can someone tel me if this hotel is located where the action is. Or how far from the action?
The place is on Bajada, one of the major traffic arteries and it doesn't look as if any funds have been spent on maintenance since World War II ended. The location is okay, but not great, and the noise from the constant traffic is likely to be significant.

Better to go to Galleria or perhaps the hotel recommended by Kong King, which I've seen but never entered.

Davao was better than ever this time. Girls were met online, at nightlife spots, at internet cafes, in the mall, and at the wedding that I attended.

Online

I used some Cherry Blossoms/Yahoo Messenger Contacts. This time I also started using a new site for me, filipinokisses.com. This one is well stocked with the type that I like (petite and slim). Some samples:

Miss Matina, a nurse student. This one did the requisite chaste first date. Then after going back to her place sent me texts saying she wished she was naked in my bed rubbing my back. I sent a taxi to Matina for her and from that point on she was a full nympho regular visitor to my room.

Miss Tagum, another student. Being from Tagum, a city to the north of Davao, she could only come to town on Sunday. She also was demure for the first date. For the second and final meeting she did a feeding frenzy on Mahku. Excessive biting, scratching and nose squeezing (the girls here are fascinated by western noses) were a bit of a turn off for me. She also didn't like lip kissing (could be a pro?)

Miss Bukidnon, you guessed it, a student. A disappointment. She was the beauty pageant winner for her Davao campus and went to Manila to join a national college pageant....LAST YEAR. This year she's been joined by about 30 to 40 extra pounds. It's a shame because her bikini photos were hot. I will NEVER buy stock in Jollibee.

Miss Airport, works for Cebu Pacific. She was actually introduced to me by an old flame from two years ago. She's about 5-4 and 95 pounds. I wasn't able to crack her this time, but the body language was definitely warming. Girls like this take effort but in the end it's worth it, speaking of which...

Miss Friendster. One that I couldn't crack on the LAST visit, but did this time. She used to be adamant that she would never have sex before marriage, but I think curiosity got the best of her. Quiet and shy, a couple of cocktails turns her into a wild, gropping, grinding machine.

Malls

Miss Mickey Ds. One day in Gaisano mall I saw a girl's eyes follow me from inside McDonald's. I decided a few chicken mcnuggets and an introduction wouldn't hurt. Turned out that she was from Cotabato. Gotta love those out of town girls, so far from conservative family influences....Once we were alone in the room she made no pretense of being a nice girl.

Also in the smaller Gaisano Citimall (aka JS or Gaisano South) near Apo View 3 girls called me into one of the shops. They begged me to take them out and hinted there would be a reward. Unfortunately I didn't have time to act on this opportunity.

Internet Cafe

Going out the gate of the Marco Polo and immediately turning right at the street corner, you immediately come to an internet cafe on the right. This is a new place since last year. It has comfy chairs and couches for laptop users. During the day there are several student girls. In fact all of the internet places near Marco Polo are usually full of Ateneo students, since the university is across the street from the hotel. One day I left my cell phone at the computer I was using. One of the girls working there followed me outside to return it to me. Of course I suggested taking her out to dinner as a reward (at Pico Bello's on a later night). She in her turn rewarded me in my room afterwards.

Night Spots

Venue

Not as happening as it used to be but still a good spot. I picked up a pair of hotties here one night. They let me do them one after the other (not quite a threesome), while the "free one" waited outside. Don't forget that the Venue has the outdoor seating area as well as the Halo disco tucked in the back.

Station91

My new favorite. It's down the street from Marco Polo about 4 blocks past the aforementioned internet cafe. It's within a building, but not quite enclosed and not airconditioned, so it won't be for everyone. Besides the main bar, seating area and dance floor at ground level, there are smaller upstairs bars and discos. Not many foreigners come here. On Wednesday ladies' nights they put on a girls risque dancing contest, sort of like the one Sunflower in Cebu does on Thursdays. I also met some radio and concert promoter types that had lots of unattached girls around. I'll keep in touch with these guys for future visits. The only girl I did from here was Miss D, perfect petite figure with medium size firm breasts. I got other numbers from here, but the problem in Davao is...never enough days or hours in a day.

Autoshop

Only Saturday nights were happening here. Friday night at midnight it was only half full. But it's always worth a look.

Bar 183 in Rizal Promenade

I prefer weeknights here. Weekends it's just too crowded. But when there's space there's almost always a group of friendly, unattached girls. One night especially I would have taken home from here but the girl looked too drunk to stay awake in the room so I passed.

Wedding

Yet another old flame from two years ago got married during the visit. In the week before there were a couple of pre-wedding parties, including a "bachelor" party that had 90% women. One of the bridesmaids was short, voluptuous but fairly firm, had lips that I just had to see wrapped around my..... She said that she planned to go to Miami to work on a cruise ship. I suggested, hehe, that she should come back to my room and see pics of Florida that I took last Christmas. You have to sit nice and close when you're looking together at a digital cam display.....There were other hotties at this wedding. Some had boyfriends already but some didn't. Too bad no other mongers were around to share in the largesse.

Hotel

Marco Polo. This time it was about 90 bucks, breakfast for 2 included. It's a short taxi ride from most of the places you go to. At night when it's cooler I don't mind walking everywhere. The pool has construction going on around it and looks like it will for some weeks to come.

Restaurants

De Bonte Koe. Welcomed warmly by the owner, despite a certain loudmouth's claim on the "other Davao board" that I would be persona non grata. It's a great place for a date. If you're alone adjourn to the nearby Someplace Else bar for some hunting. Arabic sheesha fans can have a smoke here.

Pico Bello's. Italian restaurant on top floor of Gaisano South Mall. It's a bit hard to find but worth going to. The views are good at night.

Tsuru. Best Japanese food in town, next to Casa Leticia near Apo View.

Jack's Ridge. It's about a 20 minute taxi ride from the middle of town. It's an open air barbecue restaurant on high ground with a great view back to town. There are several gardens, walking paths, gazebos, and "makeout benches."

By the way Mahku, when are you coming back to South America?, and thank you for sharing honest information that is out of the fantasy world this other poster lives in.

Thanks for the kind words. Actually the guy you mention hasn't been so bad lately. Since my last post he's only mentioned me once. That's even though we stayed in the same hotel for about 10 days. So there are still some occasional relapses but it's like Inspector Clouseau's superior. In every day and in every way he's getting better and better. To give credit where credit is due he posts mostly good information and stories these days. On the other hand he did take a shot at KongKing for posting here. The nerve of some people, not paying proper homage to the Lord and Master.

I don't see what's wrong with saying My Jen, My Cherryl, etc. It's pretty common usage.

Having said all this allow me to give you some friendly advice. It's best not to make a career out of diving in and stirring things up, especially in places that you appear not to visit or contribute information. There's no benefit to anyone and it gets tedious pretty fast.

As for South America, I've got my eye on Cali for December. Maybe I'll see you around.

To clarify something in your post Mahku, the P.I was my mongering destination of choice for many years, before I fell for the beauty of the Latinas. I have never been to Davao, but several other areas of the P.I. I have never posted on the P.I because my trips to the P.I were before Urbanwildlife came on to the ISG. Urbanwildlife just became a member of the ISG approximately 5 months ago.

I only commented on the fool, because I can honestly say, I have never in my life seen such a bragger, and story teller. I actually believe he thinks he is Gods gift to women. Furthermore, the pics of his girls are nothing to write home about, and he waves like they are all Queens. To each his own I guess. I also believe there is something wrong with someone who claims others as there own. They do not own anybody, despite what they may think. I chose not to respond back to the fool as he has every right to live in his own fantasy story telling world.

I will be back in Colombia in September hooking up possibly with Winner, doing the Barranquilla, Cartagena, Medellin scene, and quite possibly even Bogota. In the mean time I am here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, so if you are ever in my area send me a p.m.

Nice report Mahku, and you even mentioned a place I never heard of, which sounds like it has lots of potential. I was on the phone with DS today and he wondered whether you could put a post on his board about this place, going into more detail. Both he and I are intrigued by the Wednesday night risque show business.
Thanks.

Hi Guys

Ignore attempts to kidnap you and take you to another thread.

This is the official ISG Davao Board/Thread , where unembellished facts rule.

Mahku has set the benchmark with his latest report.

After sourcing from this thread , and visiting Davao , do the right thing and send your report in. We lurkers might not post a note of thanks very often , but believe me , we appreciate every little morsel you send in.

Good news from Cathay Pacific for those of us in the Northeast: Today I received an email from them stating that starting in November, they will have 3 flights daily from JFK to Hong Kong. Heretofore, there was only one flight daily and the connection to Manila got us in at midnight....way too late to fly onto other places in the PI and get all the flying done in one shot. The three flights arrive at different times of the day in HKG and facilitate connections to Cebu/Davao within a few hours.

08-08-07, 03:11

Thanks Don for dashing out that flight info.

Yours was only a small morsel , I admit , but an important one at that.

I suggest all mongers terminate their flight at Cebu and leave the connecting flight to Davao , for me and my boxing proteges.

Bringing a group of young boxers with me next trip. Been telling them about Philippines for a long time now , and with no bouts coming up in the short term , some of them are coming along with me.

They have been on the internet , and scoring lots. Imagine , young , athletic , muscles. What girl could resist ?

Instead of my group punching a bag , they will be pumping pussy. Davao girls will know they have been in a fuck or two by the time they are finished, ha ha.

Boxers to Davao...wow, I'm impressed. I thought the Davao thread had lost the BS theme, if you know what I mean. (that rhymes in case you didn't notice).

BTW, if you are new here, by all means go to the Davao Dragaon Slayer forum since you can find info about Davao. Also, GE posts there and he is a great source of information about Davao. One caveat: although information about Davao is good, there is a cliquish nature to the folks there. I don't want to step on any toes, but sometimes there is animosity between certain personalities. Best to just ignore it.

Davao Report July 07

I can't think of much to add that hasn't already been covered. I suppose the important thing that has been mentioned here before is that Davao cannot compare to MLA, AC or Cebu when it comes to P4P. You go to Davao for a change of scenery and/or better opportunities to get lucky with regular women.

TRANSPORTATION: My flight was 1500 pesos from Cebu on Cebu Pacific. All flights were late that day for some reason. Metered taxi from the airport is less than 200 pesos. Two problems with taxis: 1) Some are downright junky. If you are going somewhere distant, it might be better to flag down a better-looking taxi. 2) Generally, it is not a problem getting the meter turned on (as it is in MLA), but I did find that taxi’s tended to take the long way. If you’re a newbie, just enjoy the city tour.

HOTEL: City code is 082. If you need telephone numbers, please ask and I’ll search for them: Try to stay close to downtown. Apo, Marco Polo and a few other places were fully booked when I called.

I got a room about 2500 (incl breakfast) at Casa Leticia and was disappointed. It was at the back with no view and the carpet was really ratty. I rode the elevator up with a family which included a daughter….a stunning young lady who gave me several glances. A nice way to get my appetite whetted. If you get a room in the front, it would be better -- especially after they complete the new park across the street. The top floor bar was closed for some reason. Other than my ratty carpet and lack of a view, Casa Leticia is a great place to stay. The place is clean, well-kept and offers excellent service. There is no pool. Some people claim that there are bullshit stains in the Presidential Suite, but I don’t know about that.

Day two I switched to Galeria. GoodEnough has recommended this place several times, but I once did an inspection and found the room moldy smelling. I did notice a musky smell but only after I had showered….putting moisture into the air. When I did my inspection two years ago, the staff were still in the room cleaning, so maybe this is why I noticed the smell.

Overall, Galeria is good value. I paid less than 1800 (I don’t remember exactly). I think they had a penthouse for just over 2000. I wanted to take a look, but it wasn’t available. My room was clean where it needed to be clean, but had layers of dirt and dust in some places. It has a courtyard pool and in-room safes. The staff were good, but there was one fellow unhappy because his reservation had not been kept. I had a room at the front, which wasn’t as noisy as I expected. A lot of white uniforms outside on the streets since the hotel is near Davao Doctor’s college. I’ll stay at Galeria again.

Ponce Suites: This place isn’t downtown, but up near Victoria Mall. OMG, you have to see it to believe it. Exterior and interior design is by a long-haired eccentric artist. The rooftop bar is out of this world. I was there in the day, but would love to visit at night. GE, Spamhog, have you ever had a drink at this place? Rooms are very cheap but I didn’t see a room. But if you like art or eccentricity, this would be a good place to stay. BTW, this artist is also doing some of the work at the new park being built on the PTA Grounds (near Apo and C. Leticia)

“NORMAL” NIGHTLIFE: can be found at Venue (I didn’t go inside the disco this time, but surrounding restaurants and bars are nice), Matina Town Square, Auto Shoppe, and a few places along Rizal Avenue (Chiko’s jazz, Rizal Promenade, etc). Most women are just regular gals, although you will find GRO’s from time to time. Weekends tend to be busy, weekdays sometimes quiet unless there is a special event. (See Mahku’s earlier post)

OTHER MEETING OPPORTUNITIES: Mall hunting / Chat friends / etc: I found the “normal / not p4p” Davao women friendly and more receptive to my advances than those in MLA or Cebu. I thought the ladies in the Victoria Dept Store to be especially attractive and friendly – the three I flirted with were all 20. I was trying on a shirt in the dressing room. I didn’t close the curtain since I was only changing a shirt. In the mirror I saw one of the staff walk behind me into the next stall. No noise next store….is she taking a nap? When I finished changing (several shirts) I took a look. Her curtain was open and she was standing there. Maybe she was checking her make up, but I got the feeling she was making herself available. We chatted a bit (YES, IN THE CHANGING ROOM), but it was my last day so I didn’t take it any further. Have your phone number ready in situations like this – I make cards.

Convenience store at the Y intersection of Ilustre St. and Legazpi St. (near Casa Leticia) has indoor and outdoor seating. Low budget partiers hang out here, buying Red Horse and other liquid refreshments. Sometimes you’ll find women-only groups, including the white-uniform variety. I sometimes stop for water or a beer, but never felt the atmosphere was conducive to hitting on women. If you got the balls to approach a table of three or four women, you can bet the drunk guys at the next table will be listening to every word that is exchanged. I guess you could be patient and wait for a lady to go in for a beer…and stalk her (joking). Try for late afternoon or early evening before the place becomes crowded with rowdy drunks.

BEACH: I never made it to the Davao City beaches. Some people say they are dangerous at night and other say they are wonderfully bacchanal. I did go to Paradise Resort on Samal Island. There is decent swimming and snorkeling. Crowded on weekends. They have cottages to rent, which might be fun if you have a steady girl. Can anyone tell us what goes on in the evenings? From downtown Davao, I guess it is a 30 minute taxi ride and a 15 minute boat ride (12 pesos). The day use is until 5pm, so plan accordingly. After 5pm you’ll have to pay the overnight charge. One thing I noticed is that the 4:45 boat back to Davao was crowded. I waited for the next boat, but the boatmen tried to charge us 800 pesos because we were the only riders. Bullshit. We waited a bit and some of the staff finished work and joined us for the 12 peso boat ride. There are other resorts on Samal, but never seen any reviews here other than negative reviews for the overpriced Pearl Garden.

BAR SLEAZE: I went into Hot Legs 3 (go go), but some guy put his hand on my back and tried to steer me to a seat different from where I wanted to sit. I turned around and walked out. I don’t like strangers grabbing me from behind. The only thing I noticed is that the place was better lit than the go-gos I visited two years ago. Better lights probably equals better looking women.

STREET SLEAZE: Most street walkers are on San Pedro St, but I’ve also seen groups near Apo and Leticia. I found a cute one and talked the mamasan down to 700. Only after we get in the taxi the mama starts demanding the money up front. I decided to pass. Then I found a two woman with no mamasan. She quickly agreed to 500 for ST.

I'll try to post some pictures later.

X-Man, Excellent informative report and pics. But I'd question your inclusion of a photo of the HS girls. It's an innocent enough photo, but this site is for enjoying women 18 and over.

Davao threads. I agree with the others here - this is the actual Davao thread. GE seems like a reasonable guy, so I don't know why he pleads with members to post Davao info and photos in a quiet sub-thread. Maybe it's boring in there. A few of the posts there are entertaining (in many ways).

Good Enough - looks like you're not allowed to meet up with other board members. When you do, you upset your sometimes-friend yet again. How do you feel about his public and sarcastic refusal to retract his statement that you constantly 'relish' meeting other men from the board? (That's how he thanks you for being his overly-dedicated lone supporter).

08-08-07, 18:11

Thanks Piper.

If anyone really cares, the picture that I just deleted was of two young women in a Dunkin Donuts (long pink skirts and pink DD motif) with a security guard in the background. They are smiling and posing for the picture. I like the photo composition, but Piper suggests that it might not be appropriate considering the adult nature of ISG.

The long pink skirts are very attractive aesthetically, but I have been told that this is a hs uniform. I've deleted the picture and I will not send it to anyone --- unless you are a Magnum representative and wish to send me to the Philippines on an all-expense paid trip to photograph the people of the Philippines.

Wonderful , amazing , Davao Board has come alive again. It goes in spits and spurts.

Thanks for the pics XMan. Good shots. Perhaps one day you will be "discovered" and your dream comes true.

Thanks to all the posts on this the official ISG Davao Board , they will help me in my upcoming trip. Including old posts by Good Enough. Even though I landed in Davao on a DC3 early 1970's , I never knew some of the places GE was talking about , when I joined ISG about three (?) years ago. I arrived in 1970's without any help from the Internet of course. So GE re-ignited my interest in the place with his posts starting 3 years back. Have now found some secret places of my own. Not telling you guys. Joking of course.

Attention you shy Lurkers. Big difference now in 2007 , especially with guys like you, you lurkers , out there about to contribute to this page right now , right ? ha ha.

You shy guys must have come across places not yet discussed on this board. Be like Mahku, share new info ! Let us in on it . If no secret info to share , your personal experiences will do. Thanks. We mongers like to read about others experiences.

Think I have written enough for now. Time for me to go back in my shell , regroup and "re-enter the fray another day". That rhymes in case you didnt notice , ha ha.

(That's how he thanks you for being his overly-dedicated lone supporter).

First, let me say right off that I do not want to reignite any controversy here or to open old wounds or whatever. However, I do want to add a couple of things that perhaps you guys may not have considered. First, the "other guy" basically started this thread, which was pretty moribund prior to his involvement. Second (my opinion only) he has posted more valuable information about Davao than anyone else. Third, he actually knows more about the nightlife and pussy spots of this city than anyone I know, myself included. Finally, I don't see this thread and "his" thread as competitive. He has a unique, often very insightful point of view and often extremely amusing ways of expressing it. Those who chose not to read that thread certainly have the right not to do so, but I would argue that they're missing out on some valuable information that might do them some good someday.

Finally, his point about meeting guys on this board was meant to humor and not offend. I've actually met several guys from this and other threads. Some meetings have been less than productive and others more fruitful, but that's what one would expect. I still have guys contact me via PM and I've met a few during the past several months, most recently a member from New Zealand, so obviously I'm still meeting people.

Yes security guards are ubiquitous, and in the case of my now deleted photo, I was a bit pissed that he had to maneuver himself into the scene.

I've also found security guards to be pretty unhelpful with things like directions. If I'm in the mall and need to ask someone a question, I've learned to avoid the security guards and cleaning staff. Much more likely you'll get good info by asking a female attendant.

Hmmm, I guess the exception would be the night guards at a hotel. They'll be able to tell you where to find girls.

Not only are security guards generally unhelpful, they also as the writer stated, generally lacking in knoweldge about directions.

The oter day I was driving in Makati trying to find a particular street. I knew I was near so asked a guard.. he said he had no idea about one street.

I then looked up and saw the sign for the exact street I was looking for.

The sign was almost above his head.

Which shows either they dont know or dont care....but yeah, generally useless.

The best however was when I accidently knocked over a tollway barrier. The red and white wooden barriers on the Sucat exit in Manila. I barely nudged the barrier and it fell off. Some young 17 year old security guard rushed out of the toll booth. Raised his gun and demanded I get out of my car immediately and pay. Was so funny. Yes I got out, and negotiated the fee. They wanted P5000 I offered P500. We settled on P750. And I demanded the right to lecture the security guard about guns and the dangers they posed.

Always book or pay for one night, saying to Front Desk youll change money next day and pay for more days. If first night no good, then move out before checkout time.

Plenty of empty rooms in a dog of a town called Davao City, ha ha.A quick google turns this up:

I never made it to Davao on my last trip, I ended up at Subic Bay instead.
But if all goes to plan this time, i will be in Davao on the 8th November for 4-5 days. I will be meeting a girl i meet in AC earlier this yr, who is now back at school in Davao.
I am thinking of staying at Hotel Las Casitas, it has been mentioned but no one has posted a report of what it is like. Any info would be appreciated!
anyone know if they have web site?

BF
The hotel has been open for about a year. It's on Rizal St. right next to Bar 183, and I know two guys who have stayed there. Both liked the place very much and said it was friendly, clean, and with good accommodations. You can get a room for about Php800. The only drawback is that, despite it's excellent location, it's on a very busy street and if you get a room overlooking Rizal St. it could be pretty noisy.

If you don't like Las Casitas, try Galleria on Quirino St. It's the same class of hotel, but it has a pool while the other one does not. However, it's older and the location, while not bad at all, is not quite as good though the two hotels are only 5 minutes by car from each other. You can get rooms at Galleria for about Php800 as well. The phone number for Galleria is: +63-82-221-2400 but I don't have the number for the other place.

Another alternative you may want to consider, if you're not going to be roaming around picking up women is Red Knight Garden Apartments. You can get a studio there for about $13,50 a night and it's a nice place with a pool and a small restaurant. It's out a bit from the center of town, on Lanang Rd. not far from Swiss Deli.

Joking's comment about "plenty of rooms" is incorrect. Several times throughout the year, all of the decent places are fully booked, and the nice hotels with inexpensive rooms such as Galleria and Las Casitas do tend to fill up first.

Bold Focker will appreciate your enlightening answer to his question.

And so Bold Focker , it's official , you will not be able to look up a website and see pics of the rooms etc. Sometimes they can be misleading anyway.

Myself , I just front up. Can't recall missing out on a room. But then , I get VIP status wherever I go , lol.

Note : It is customary in SE Asia to be able to inspect the rooms first , before handing over any money. If you do not like the room they show you , ask if they have something better. Quite often they try and offload their less popular rooms on unsuspecting tenants.

Add to that , pay one night only , utilise the "change money tomorrow" routine I mentioned previously , and you will avoid the possibility of being stuck with potentially unsatisfactory accommodation , viz , unexpected noise levels etc.

In due course , we await your report on Hotel Las Casitas.

Most of the coffee shops around town seem to offer Wifi including Karl's and BlueGre. I'm not sure though that they're free. I cannot think of any restos that offer Wifi though there may be some. We tend to have two classes of restaurants in town: the local eateries, where most of the clients probably do not have laptops, and the European/Japanese restaurants that are higher priced and would probably prefer that people concentrate on their dining experience.

i have read more or less the whole davao thread here and in wsg also.

i bought a ticket from us east coast to bkk starting thanksgiving and returning 3rd weeks of jan

duration. 7 weeks

age: early 30s. is it good to look young or mature/old?

goal. shag at least 3 times a day or as much as my body can take.

level. newbie

mongering experience. some.

been to asian massage parlors in us. no outside us experience.

shagging experience. some but don't get laid daily.

pickup non-pro in us. may be 1-2 in six months. i can easily talk to any women but it takes time for me to get them in bed. in other words get stuck in let's just be friend with only limited success. that's why i am going to se to relax, learn how to flip the sexual switch in women.

bkk.

how many days should i spend in bkk?

can i buy a ticket in bkk and fly to mnl within a week?

my plan is to stay couple of days in bkk, buy the ticket and leave asap for angles. i want to monger in bkk but with caution. i don't wanna get any std.

are all bar girls and message parlour girl tested regularly?

angles-

i guess 7-10 days will be enough in angles?

i am thinking of day and night shagging in angles to get up to speed with rest of the world.

are angles girl more disease free than the bkk girls?

i like eating pussy; )

is it worth spending some time in manila or should i go straight to davao from angles?

i don't want to buy overpriced pro pussy for long time so i will move to davao for non-pro scene.

there is different pleasure/charm in seducing the non-pros

davao-

can i get hooked up with non-pro have sex 3 times a day pretty fast?

ge could you please hook me up with someone?

how is dec-jan for other activities like scuba or surfing?

will the water be too cold in davao?

i am thinking of staying in davao for 4-5 weeks and scuba, go to beach, fuck, eat good seafood, sleep and forget about my us life.

i am returning to us in 3rd week of jan: (

how many days should i spend in bkk?sup 2 u... its a different scene, due to cultural differences & language barrier the girls just want your money in bkk.

can i buy a ticket in bkk and fly to mnl within a week?yhup

my plan is to stay couple of days in bkk, buy the ticket and leave asap for angles. i want to monger in bkk but with caution. i don't wanna get any std.

are all bar girls and message parlour girl tested regularly?no, despite what they claim. testing facilites & standard of medical practice in asia is not the same as your home country. dont bareback any one if you dont want std. lots of guys do bareback & say they are ok but as with a game of russian roulette with a pistol sooner or later you will get the bullet.

angles-

i guess 7-10 days will be enough in angles?

i am thinking of day and night shagging in angles to get up to speed with rest of the world.

are angles girl more disease free than the bkk girls?see above comment.

i like eating pussy; )me too and rather pleasantly filippina chicks generally love it. i've heard their men are lousy at this, dunno if its true but three gf's fuckin love it :)

is it worth spending some time in manila or should i go straight to davao from angles?

i don't want to buy overpriced pro pussy for long time so i will move to davao for non-pro scene.

there is different pleasure/charm in seducing the non-prosmanila is more expensive but if you have time it is a unique experience.

agreed non pro has its own charm which is why i maintain a stable of 3 regular gf's

davao-

can i get hooked up with non-pro have sex 3 times a day pretty fast?well yes you can but it's gonna take a lot of effort & organistation.

theres a ton of young fuckable pussy in davao.

typically non pros are hard to line up like ducks in a shooting gallery.

as you said they have their own charm. but if you want to fuck like a rabbit with different woman every time then stay in angeles & see how long your body can stand up to it. once you get the novelty of it out of your system then move on to davao, slow down & enjoy some gfe experiences instead.

how is dec-jan for other activities like scuba or surfing?
will the water be too cold in davao?yes you will enjoy the [CodeWord118] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord118).
you're on the equator so sea water is as warm as bath water there.

i am thinking of staying in davao for 4-5 weeks and scuba, go to beach, fuck, eat good seafood, sleep and forget about my us life.sounds like a great holiday to me. hehe :)

Second, the differences between BKK and the Philippines,are substantial. Bankgok, if you go to one of the major sex areas: Patpong, Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza is a bit overwhelming. There is so much pussy, so much available pussy that it's a like being a kid in the world's largest candy store. (Willia Wonka in a pussy factory maybe.) And the girls are adorable, and the scene is pretty laid back and totally safe and it's a hell of a lot of fun. One the one hand. But on the other hand (my opinion only) it gets old fast; it's strictly commercial though the sex can be great, and the language barrier means that you're really never going to get to know the girls even superficially. Since I like the opporunity to talk a little before and after, that's important to me though it may not be to some. My advice? Stay in Bangkok for four or five days. Do the sex tourist thing by visiting Patpong or one of the other areas, and going to a massage parlor or two or three, and when you're drained of all bodiliy fluid, come to the Philippines.

Should you go to Manila? It depends on what you're expecting. Manila can be lots of fun and between Burgos St., the endless series of places on Roxas, LA Cafe, EDSA Complex and some of the other venues, there are endless opportunities to get laid. Most of the girls you will meet will be just as pretty as the Thai women, and most will speak at least enough English for you to have a conversation. The experience will be more girlfirend-like than in Thailand, and though of course we're speaking of commercial transactions, it will probably seem less commercial. Since willing suspension of disbelief is an important element of the fantasy, it can be more satisfying in some ways in Manila than in Bangkok.

To me however, Manila is not a particularly welcoming city. It's not attractive. It's polluted with heavy traffic congestion, and though it has some excellent restaurants and other amenities, the hassle of being there is not worth it for me. Others will doubtless disagree and in the end I suppose it all comes down again to what you want.

You've already read extensively about Davao, so you know what it offers. Your ability to meet, bed and enjoy "normal" women depends largely on you. The supply is endless and if you're reasonably presentable, reasonably friendly and can resist groping the girls in the first ten minutes and otherwise treating them like hookers in a bar you should be fine. DS routinely strolls into one of the Internet Cafes and inevitably winds up with a new lady who inevitably winds up in his bed within a few hours. But he always takes them out for a nice meal, or for drinks and snacks in a nice place and makes them comfortable before he consummates anything sexual. It does not take long but it does take a few hours of patience.

Can I/will I introduce you to anyone? Maybe. It depends on how much my wife likes you and how much she thinks her friends, most of whom are nurses or nursing students, would like you and you them. Remember, these women are looking for a serious or at least a semi-serious relationship and as soon as they get the sense that you want to screw as many women as possible, they'll be outta there. This is not a criticism of your intentions, but a comment on the perspective of middle class Filipinas. You would be more likely to achieve your objective just meeting women in bars like 183, Swag, the Venue, or the one about which Mahku just posted, the name of which I forget.

As to airline tickets, there may be direct flights now between Bangkok and Davao, but I'm not sure. In any case, any Thai travel agent or hotel concierge can arrange the tickets for you quickly and efficiently. If you do fly through Manila, there are at least ten daily flights to Davao, and the flight takes about 90 minutes. If you're going to stay in Davao for 4-5 weeks then you might want to consider renting a small furnished apartment at Red Knight Garden on Lanang.

Hope this answered most of your questions but if not, and if others do not, send me a PM.

“Food for thought.” BKK is a smelly place, traffic like you never seen before, and expensive compared to other destinations.

Pattya is just 2.5 hours down the road. For a first timer who wants to try all the candy this place is ideal. "Shooting fish in a barrel" bar girls 500 bth shorts time 1000 long time. bar fine 300 ish. You would need a week here, but be careful you don’t get stuck with the same girl! I stay and pig and whistle 750 bth per night. Taxi to pattaya will be about 1000 - 1500.
Best thing is jump in taxi from airport and say bkk, when meter goes on change your mind and say can you take me to pattaya! My friend could not get taxi to take him to pattaya on meter. he had to pay 2000 bth.
coming back you can get it for 800! taxi who have gone down want fare for going back!
Buses are available 100-150bth

If you do decide on BKK personally I would suggest 2-3 days max.
If you go to nana area you will be looking at 1000 st and 2000-2500 LT + Bar fine 500.
Nana hotel will be 1260 bth Per night.
try the beer garden on soi 7. it is a bar where al the freelancers hang out.
I like it in there, although it can get smokey! no Bar fine and 1000 LT.

Best deal would be Angels, Davao and then pattaya or vice versa.

Manila as stated before smelly and heavy traffic, bit like bkk. Avoid it, wait to you have more experience in Asia!

Ac is more like Pattaya. I think the air is cleaner in Pattaya.
Again "shooting fish in barrel"
go to go go bar pick your girl and pay 1200-1300 php and you have her for the night. tip in the morning as you kick her out.

Flights are plentiful 3 airline which generally cover most areas are:

Hi,

As this is my first time in Davao and my lady friend has gone quiet on me,
will any of you guys be in town 9th to 13th November. Even if my girl does show up, it would be good to have someone show me the venues from a guy point of view.

I hope this is not a busy period as I only booked the Garella hotel for 2 nights.

Even the most seasond traveler can become to complacent.

I arived in Davao on Friday night and had a big one, had a reall party. The problem was I let my gaurd down and accepted some ice to cool down a warm beer I was served. Well this place is no Bangkok where the better establishments make sure their water is clean. This is back water Davao where things are cheaper and easyer, just like catching gastro. My warning. Its now Tuesday and I'm finaly away from the toilet bowl.

Should you fall victim to the terrable inconvenience don't forget to keep your fluid intake up, no matter how much more it adds to your discomfort. Remember extencive dihoreha can lead to dehydration and even system shutdown, heart attack and death. Over exageration? No! I witnessed the queensland (Australia) man who collapsed and died last August from the "killer flu" as they dubd it. The two points I want to make is don't get it and if you do stay hydrated and get to /or send some one to a drug store.

Ps I'll be in Davao for a few more days if anyones is here now and looking for a side man just to hit a few places (not sure how much drinking I can do yet) drop me a line.

Take care,

Dacian,

Sorry to hear your about your lapu-lapu gastro revenge; ) When I go mongering I always bring a prescription of Cipro, a very powerful anti-biotic. I heard it can kill anything, including anthrax! So mongers, go to the doc and have him give you some anti-biotics for you trip just in case you let your guard down. I learned the hard way, the gastro put me down for 3 days.

recipe for instant rehydration kit for which ingredients can be found just about anywhere:

half a glass of flat 7up/sprite/similar clear sweet carbonated soft drink (i'd say lemonade but that has different meanings depending on where you are from) - as flat as possible (pour it back and forth between 2 glasses for a bit)
half a glass of clean water
a good pinch of salt

mix all of the above ingredients in glass, you don't need much in the way of salt, just a tiny bit (not enough that you'd taste it) - your body needs sodium, but only a tiny amount.

sip instead of water.

a doctor friend of mine who does a lot of travel and specialises in travel medicine gave me the recipe - he said the above mixture is similar in composition to those rehydration electrolyte powder packets you can get.

it might be psychosomatic, but it seems to have helped me, and a couple of people i've looked after, to speedier recoveries. i am no chemist, but chemically it seems to make sense as well - sugar for instant energy, water (duh) and salt (nacl) for some groovy free na+ ion action (which i seem to remember is necessary for something from my high school biology).

you dont take a travel kit of basic meds/oral rehydration powder with you when you travel????

I guess I've just been lucky, but I've been in Davao now for five years and have never gotten sick from the food or water, and I often use water straight from the tap. However, the surest cure for gastric problems that I've found is Ciproflaxin, 500 mgs. twice a day for five days. You can buy the generic form at any pharmacy in Davao and you'll begin to feel better within a couple of hours. I never travel anywhere without it and I always have a supply at home just in case.

I'm now in Africa where Cipro is an absolute necessity since, here in Sudan at least, sooner or later and no matter how careful you are, eventually the bug's gonna get you. I'll be back in Davao the third week of the month and cannot wait to get back to it's relative civility.

I'll second that. I get minor cases of the runs in the Philippines, but that's probably just because I'm drinking more beer and consuming unusual foods. Once I spent 20 days in the Philippines (MNL and Cebu) and drank tap water without any problem. Then I flew to Thailand and was deathly sick for three days. I suspect it was the salad. I've been sick in Thailand twice and I won't even rinse my toothbrush in the water.

It just so happens my Phil girlfriend with western sized boobs is four months pregnant. You can have her, but conditions apply. You have to marry her , lol.

Other than that, do a cruise in a taxi, tell driver 'street girls', hundreds of them in Davao City. Stop when you see some street girls with a Mama-san, that is, someone older pimping those young girls.

Take Mama aside and tell her your request, offer a commission of say P500 to Mama-san. She might try and trick you , saying one of girls right then and there are pregnant. Do not fall for that one. And anyway you seem to be after a woman well into pregnancy with big boobs. Give Mama your cellphone number and wait for the call next day. Alternatively tell her you will call back same time next night. Do this with two or three mama-sans. For sure there are pregnant women in the Philippines, lol.

Make sure hubby does not come along with the pregnant woman. Request 'single girl' , to be on safer ground. Plenty of single pregnant girls , abandoned by their boyfriends. Thats the Philippines.

This exercise of yours has been done before, but if your like someone I knew years ago, your wasting your time if you think sucking on a pregnant ladies tits will cure baldness. Doesnt work. My former acquaintance is testimony to that. He did not let me in on his fetish. The pimp who supplied the prego lady told me, lol.

Finally , do not exploit the poor womans situation. Try and avoid fucking her aggressively. Especially if she has a big belly.

And an afterthought : Do not let prego girl know your real name , or she might try and hang the kid on you , which might result in Immigration asking you some awkward questions on arrival at Manila Airport , when next you visit the Philippines.

First time poster so not sure whether this post is relevant to the Davao section or the one on General Information. Apologies if I have got the wrong one.

Anyway, I will be visiting the Philippines and Manila for a second time in November. I am considering whether to travel to Davao for a few days to meet a girl who I met in Manila on my last visit there in July. Any information on the Agdao district of Davao, where this girl lives, along with any general information on the current safety situation in the city would be much appreciated since the embassies of many (western) countries advise against all travel to Southern Mindanao unless on essential biusiness.

Thanks in advance for any information/advice.

Agdao is the one of the major areas for open stall vegetable markets. It's very congested by both vehicles and people from the early hours of the morning until late in the afternoon. It's right off Quirino St. above Davao Doctors hospital. Galleria Hotel on Quirino is quite close if you're interested in proximity. There's nothing wrong with the area; it's quite safe, but it doesn't hold many attractions either.

Because it's near the college, there are lots of students staying in cheap rooming houses and even some apartments in the general area.

Had 10 days in Davao in July–August and I stayed at 4 different hotels. I'm a late starter to this mongering activity and still haven't got up the courage to have multi girl visitations to the one hotel, so moved around a bit. Perhaps that will change with more experience! Usually the shifting was an advantage coz I told my girl visitations that I had either just arrived or leaving the next day (which was true in relation to the hotel, but not to Davao).

I was not into the Marco Polo or Casa Leticia bracket, and went mainly for the smaller standard hotel. I didn't really sample the food offerings as I preferred to get out onto the street for that.

Here are a few comments. Note that some hotels have a high season and a low season with their prices. In May to November period often cheaper than in the high season.

LAS CASITAS
[I referred to this hotel in my July 31st posting]

185 Rizal Street, 50 metres up from The Promenade and Bar 183
A small 4 story modern (1 year old) hotel with nice cafe on ground floor.
Rates: matrimonial standard 995 pesos, matrimonial de luxe 1195 pesos, Casitas de Luxe (?) 1595 and Casitas Executive with Jacuzzi at 2,700-3200

Nice relaxed atmosphere, but can be a bit noisy late at night on the east side (left going in) because of the Promenade bands. Also if your room has a shared but locked door with another (combined family unit) the performance in the adjacent room may be distracting -but that works two ways. The elevator was not working when I was there.

Amenities include: cable tv, wifi zone in cafe, spa and massage

Phone: 082-2240945 082-2223001 mobile: 0918-2203040
Email: Not too sure if Jackson will allow an email address: casitasdeangela@hotmail.com or casitasdeangelela at hotmail (They have no web address)

Also see photo supplied below

HOTEL GALLERIA
[Often mentioned in this forum. Very nice and well recommended]

Duterte Street. Well positioned to all the passing student ladies in white, the Gaisano store and food court is just around the corner, and there are many nearby fast food places. It's a 4-storey hotel located in the center of Davao City. It has 43 air-conditioned rooms, cable tv, and a lovely private swimming pool with a nice waterfall in the corner (get her to bring her bikini), 24 hour service and airport transfers. Many excellent reports on travel.yahoo. I had a front room (301 I think) looking down onto the front street and well positioned for the plentiful street action. As with some of the older hotels (cf Las Casitas) things can go wrong (taps can drip, showers not functioning properly). I had an air conditioning unit that started to throw a wobbly until at 2am, (and again at 3am) I could stand the noise no longer and I called the help desk. The whole unit was replaced at 7am and was a good nudge for another session before some real sleep.

Rates (supposedly at a 50% discount rate): double deluxe 1395 pesos, junior suite 1495 and penthouse 2074 pesos

Phone: 082 221 2480 082 2212657
Email (may be deleted by Jackson): hgadicor@info.com.ph

WE R INN
[A down market hotel and, but not quite at the stage of having a bucket and scoop in the toilet!]

Laurel Avenue and opposite the large Gaisano Mall (not to be confused with other Guisanos in the city) and behind Central Plaza. Certainly nowhere near “Ground Zero” but OK for an overnight and handy to good local opportunities like Gaisano Mall, Victoria Plaza, the local university scene and nurses (San Pedro hospital). The hotel seemed to be well catering for the Muslim community with the in-house courses at the time.

Rates: Deluxe double 1200 pesos, super deluxe 1250, suite 1,400.

Facilities : WiFi hotspot, sky cable TV, complimentary breakfast, aircon.

Phone: 082 3000702
Email: we_r_inn@yahoo.com

TOWER INN
I had one night at Tower Inn and this was less than memorable, and confirming some of the comments on this forum.

E. Quirino Avenue and a short walking distance from all the central Davao action.

Promotional Rates: double standard 1500 pesos, deluxe double 1700, and suites 2500 pesos

Phone: 082-221-1099
Internet: www.towerinn.com.ph/davao.php

BABOBO HOUSE
Didn’t stay there but has had good reports. Governor Duterte Street. Very close to all the central Davao action and 100 metres from Gaisano Ilustre

Discounted Rates quoted to me were: standard twin 935 pesos, deluxe twin 1005 pesos, ans super deluxe twin 1105/1315 pesos

I am quoting double occupancy in all the above, not single!

Good to hear your a gentleman. And yes the pimp told me , my former acquaintance thought that if he sucked the babies breast milk he would re grow his balding patch. The woman had to be well into her pregnancy of course. Quite hilarious really. Wasn't into fucking the prego's , only wanted to rob the future baby of its milk !

Imagine a foreigner sucking on a big bellied prego Filipino womans breasts. What a sight. Where's the camera ? !

I had an eventful Saturday night at Station 91 a dance venue in CM Recto Street back in August. But first let me give you the background.

I had been long distance emailing for a year to a pen friend called Chariz, from Davao. Nothing too deep, nothing too serious, as other options were generating more stimulation. But when I mentioned to her that I was coming to Davao on my way to climb Mt Apo (true) her emails became far more passionate, full of mwahhhhss and huggggzzzzz, and she wanted to be my guide. I held her at arms length on that score but with plans to do the other scoring.

Chariz sounded rather promising: 24, single, 40kg and 4 foot 11 in height; young, petite and light. So when I got to Davao after Mt Apo I telephoned her from the Las Casitas. She said "I’m on the way". Twenty minutes later it was "we are nearly there". "Hold it" I said, "tell me, who are the ‘we’? " I seem to have been a sucker in my previous month of Phils mongering to entertaining not only the girl of the moment, but also maybe the mother, the sisters, cousins and friends. I certainly became more assertive when it came to gay brothers. So I relented on Chariz with her two female cousins.

They turned up and we met in the café downstairs; I don’t like taking more or less unknowns straight into the bedroom. I had not seen Chariz before (we had never had a cam chat) and when the 3 of them walked into the café I could not recognise my Chariz. The oldest one came forward and said she was Chariz. Well, cutting a long story short here, as the night unfolded, "Chariz" told me that she was not Chariz (she was Leticia) and she was some 13 years and 13 kgs more than declared on her pen-friend profile. She conceded she was working the pen-friend site to get a husband for her niece, who incidentally was called Chariz!

As the evening progressed we did have a nice dinner at Jack’s Ridge, then we decided to go to a dance venue. We put our heads in the door of The Promenade, next door to the Las Casitas, but the band was so loud that we only lasted a few minutes that we got ourselves a taxi to Station 91, not too far away in Recto Street. We got there about 10. 30pm and from memory it only cost me 40 pesos to enter, and the 3 girls were free. We had a good central downstairs table (Mahku on 4th August gave a good layout report), and the place soon filled up after that time.

The band with the lead male and female vocalists were great, and during the breaks it reverted to disco music. But most of the Saturday evening was taken up by parading girls. Apparently there is a month by month beauty contest leading to a Miss Station 91 for 2007 to be determined in December. And each Saturday night 10 girls strut their stuff into the audience. They are obviously well coached and choreographed, and they make 3 clothes changes, including bathing costume, throughout the evening. But the final show, about 12. 30am, was the amateur’s turn, when 10 young, mainly 18-22 year olds, volunteered out of the crowd and paraded and gyrated their stuff. But by that stage I was getting more or less preoccupied.

"My" Chariz was sitting on my right and her lovely cousin, a hotel beautician, was on my left, plus another cousin. As the evening progressed the accidental knee touch on my left became a firm knee hold, then a hand hold. When she encircled my finger with her finger and moved it up and down it was not only my senses that became aroused. So, again, cutting another long story short, and unbeknown to "Chariz", we exchanged phone numbers and I must report I did have a delightful few days and an extended night or two at Las Casitas with the beautician cousin.

(August 1 2007) Thanks KK, I remember seeing that place and thinking it might be worthwhile to check out. Can you give us the number or URL?

I would also love to hear about your Apo hike.

X ManJust got back home after an extended stay in mainly the Philippines. Had my lap top stolen in Singapore and lost a lot of my notes and my downloaded pictures. Sad, sad, sad.

Had been for some while interested in climbing the Philippines highest mountain, Mt Apo, in behind Davao and Digos, 10, 000 feet. I used it as my mid-point goal in my 2 months in the Philippines. It was very useful. Many of you are on a "business trip" to the Philippines, certainly not a mongering trip. I was there either on my way to climb Mt Apo, as I progressed through Cebu, Negros (Dumaguete) across to Mindanao (at Dapitan and Dipolog) then to Cagayan, Davao and Digos. Or I had just climbed Mt Apo and on my way home via Davao, Cagayan, Camigian Island, Surigao, Leyte, Samar and Cebu again!

You need a permit to climb Mt Apo and I obtained that from the tourist office at Santa Cruz, north of Digos. 300 pesos. I hired a guide from Digos (500 pesos a day for 3 days) and a porter from the highest village (Upper Colon) to carry the tent and some of the food (300 pesos a day for two days).

It is quite a good steep climb and you need to be relatively fit. I'm over 60 but had keep fit by running, walking, and the odd visit to the gym. I had alternative activity during the previous month. My guide who had been up to the top 50 times said I was one of the faster hikers.

Although the weather was predicted to be fine, as we neared the summit the clouds, wind and rain rolled in. Camped out near the top, only about 2 hours sleep. And reached the top at 6am and couldn't see a thing because of clouds. On a fine day there are fantastic views of Davao, Digos, southern Mindanao and the Pacific Ocean. Back down in Digos by that night and needing a good bath. Next day the mountain looked magnificent!

The following night my pen pal from General Santos City arrived in Digos, and as seems par for the case she brought a friend. By this stage of my trip I was a little more assertive and said that was fine but there will be only one room and one double bed. Taht was fine with them and that was the first time I had been in a sandwich situation!

Getting back to Mt Apo, this mountain is reported as an "extinct volcano", having last rumbled some 140 years ago. But let me tell you there is certainly volcanic activity occuring at the 8000 feet mark with geothermal fueroles, steam, and plenty of sulphur deposits. So there is volcanic activity there. You heard it first folks, here on this ISG forum!

Fantastic idea to suck a pregnant womans tits for hair. :-D YouTube top 100 directly!

Ok, let me bother you with one more question. I am relly new to this. Only a few experiences and all was more or less happy endings to massage visits.
Do you have a tip on where I can go to get a massage... with a happy ending? I would like the girls to be good looking and fresh. My wife is a true 10 (out of 10) and I guess it made me a bit choosy. On the other hand I accept paying the price for a safe, discrete and high quality experience. Guess what I am saying is I rather jerk off than fucking sex tired woman with bad attitude and one eye on the watch.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Personally I never have been interested in Massage , so can not help there.

My understanding , Davao City is not the place for that. But others might write in with positive info on Davao Massage , don't know.

Guys say , Finland Massage in Cebu City is the one , but its Thailand for Massages. Beats Philippines in that respect.

A ten wife , prego women , massage in Philippines. I hope your not joking.

Thanks KK for the report on Apo hike. I hike about once a month and usually go 4-6 hours. Not sure if I want to do an Apo hike, but it certainly sounds interesting. You mentioned 3 days, so does that mean 2 days for the ascent and the last day to come down?

I hope you can also find time to tell us more about some of the other places you went -- Samar / Leyte for example.

I'd also love to hear some stories of chat/pen pals. You told an interesting story about you seducing one of the chaperones. I've also found that the chaperones can be better looking than the target, although I never made a move on one. At other times the chaperone encouraged the target to spend more time with me.

Thanks again for the posts.

Hello Davao- Travellers,

AtX-Man: First of all I want to say thank you for the very good reports about Davao and Mindanao.

Here some photos about the thermal springs and a bath in the near of Kidapawan/Mindanao. Its takes 45 minutes from kidapawan by car. In the near is a power plant witch is using the thermal heat. But you must ask in tourist-info in Kidapawan to get a tiket/ entry allowance.

The thermal springs are for free but the pool cost a little bit. A hotel is there too, I think 1000 Peso per night but never been there.

If you need more infos, please let me know it. Sorry for my bad English, but its enough to talk with the girls and during the sessions its not so important (-:

Best regards,

Anle

PS:

I think the best way to get in contact with the girls is over the internet, e. G. Cherry blossoms. Its take time to make a date but it’s the realy the girlfriend-experience.

Thanks for your little report.

Most important was the prospect of looking at the pics.

I clicked first one and found faces all smudged out with black 'mud'.

You know , if you want to hide identity , all you have to do is draw a straight white line across eyes. Once you have done that , impossible to identify the person in pic , impossible , although the one with the big boobs looks like my girlfriend , lol.

Arcsoft Photostudio is the software I use , think it came with computer , or else my guru stole it from the internet. For sure I did not pay for it. Great , and simple software to use.

White pencil line across the eyes , and the pic is worth viewing. Did not look at rest of your pics , cause of 'smudges'.

Was that my girlfriend in the shot ? Are you the one who made her pregnant ? lol

Sxxxx , can't get enough.

Hello Sxxx

Sorry, but what girl do you mean? This one beside me or behind me?

Best regards,

anleI can understand Sxxxx. he asked you "Was that my girlfriend in the shot? Are you the one who made her pregnant? lol".

So did you make both of them pregnant?

Hot Springs Pic.

Looks like someone is in hot water.

I only made one girl pregnant.

But apparently now , there are two girls pregnant.

Anle : Approx when did you impregnate my girlfriend ? lol.

If you pay the $20 membership , then you can have private message service and we can discuss this rather delicate subject privately ? lol

Did anyone else on ISG make any of these girls pregnant ? If so , please come forward. KongKing , did you mess with any of them ?

There is only one way out of this , Anle to remove the 'smudge' on the pics and then we can positively identify the girls and thus be sure one way or the other whether or not we are talking about the same girls.

I thought I only made one girl pregnant , but then you never know.

I thought I only made one girl pregnant , but then you never know.It's a "misconception" to suggest I was spreading my oats. I can tell you I was well protected. So keep me out of this pregnancy debate.

Mind you when I was descending from the Phils highest mountain, Mt Apo, I did see steam rising in the distance, Kidapawan way. Perhaps that was the thermal pools, but I'm beginning to think maybe it was possibly bedroom activity by Anle Anle or Sxxxx (I'm not Joking).

If it comes to debatable fatherhood I think you should be calling for DNA analysis. Don't want to see an innocent party taking the wrap. But perhaps he should have been taking the wrap (condom-wise) earlier!

11-06-07, 09:12

Thanks KongKing for clarifying things.

Viz , you were climbing the mountain when things got steamy at the Kidapawan Hot Springs.

As Anle has justifiably poured cold water on this subject , I will wash my hands of it too.

Hi all. Sorry to procrastinate about making reports. Lately I've been focusing getting ready for future trips, mainly a January run down to Cali. That's meant jump starting my dormant accounts in Cybercupido and LatinAmericanCupid. It also needs some language study, since English doesn't go very far in Locombia. So my reporting duties always seem to get put off.

Anyway, for a few days last month I found myself in the usual place (Marco Polo), doing the usual things. This time I was a little bit closer to monogamy (trigamy to be exact). These three would play a tag team that would drive me to seek chemical assistance for the first time in a long while. Besides them there was a 19-year old virgin in the picture. She wasn't cracked this time but it won't be long. I'll be surprised if she's "intact" by my next visit next year. She's too horny to hold out much longer. I went out with a couple of other girls that I didn't have a chance to get to in a physical way this time. There was also a one night stand pickup at Station 91. The other women were met either online (Filipino Kisses), by just saying hi cold turkey in the shops, or by introduction. Last July's wedding is still providing contacts.

Marco Polo isn't cheap but it's still worth every penny. The huge window looking out over the sea and islands loosens legs almost every time. This beats the hell out of some 500 peso dive with 4 windowless walls. It has the gym and the pool. The pool still had construction going on. The poolside restaurant is finished but they're still building other stuff. When you bring a girl to a hotel pool, she HAS to wear a swimsuit, not the ugly t-shirt and shorts ensemble they often wear to the beach. Luckily I had someone that didn't mind the leering construction workers.

For the first time I brought a lap top. Internet access for one day at the Marco Polo cost 559 pesos. I had only planned to use it for the one day, but it actually kept right one working for most of the days I was there. So I only ended up paying slightly more than for internet cafes. I do think I'll not bring the computer next time. Having internet in the room keeps me inside and not out meeting girls. Internet cafes are one of the better places to make contacts.

As in July I was entertained by the antics of the visiting group of guys from A Foreign Affair on a wife seeking tour. One of the guys was too scared to even go out of the hotel or cross the street on his own. They ARE a good way to make contacts because they generate girlie traffic in the hotel. I met the virgin this way. Even though we didn't go all the way this time we did do some other stuff. The curiosity is definitely killing her. We'll see if she keeps herself unplucked by next time.

Station 91 is still going strong. This time I explored all the parts I didn't get to before. On Wednesday nights they still do ladies night and women from the audience are chosen to do provocative dances. The place most inhabited with unattached girlies seemed to be the upstairs gallery in the back. By this I DON'T mean the mezzanine sections on either side of the stage. The main upstairs area is accessed by some stairs as you come in the entrance. Up here is also the only enclosed, air conditioned bar in the place. The rest of Station 91 is essentially open air, even though it's completely within the building. The air conditioned bar is where I picked up one night. She was having a sendoff party for her sister, who was going to Japan to be an "entertainer" (haha). I took her (not the sister) back in the wee hours after closing for some action. I never heard from her again after this.

Jack's Ridge, a restaurant on a hill with great views of the city, is another great leg loosener. It seems to be considered by the girls to be the top spot for a romantic dinner. If you take someone here they'll gain "face," which as we know is all important in Asia. They'll often express their appreciation later. As has been pointed out before, the food here is average at best.

The girl I took to Jack's Ridge was the one I met at a shop nearby to the Marco Polo. We made definite eye contact my first time in the shop. Then I brought a slip of paper with my name and phone number. This kind of opportunity is often there for the taking in Davao. Just smile and be friendly and introduce yourself. It will often go from there.

Henny had just come back from visiting Europe. Other than that there was really nobody in town I knew. GE (aka Barney Rubble) was in Africa, no doubt introducing Bam Bam to some dark holes in the dark continent. Maurice wasn't around either, though I hear he was in town a few weeks later. However, you can meet the same old expat guys propping up the bar at this former place, O'Flanagans.

The Venue is still pretty dead. The most happening places in town are a couple of the discos at Autoshop. Writhing and groping room only on Saturday nights. Rizal Promenade is still a good bet. Even on slow nights I've seen unattached women there. Someplace Else, next to Henny's De Bonte Koe restaurant, sometimes has tables of women. The waitresses are worth talking up too. There's also shisha pipe smoking for you Middle East living types.

Sad to say I won't make it back until well into next year. Besides the Colombia trip I'll be off to an East African location to be named laterin March, then an Eastern European destination in May. The Philippines will come again next June or July. Until then everyone have fun in Davao and let us know how it goes.

Hi.

I will be visiting Cebu and Davao City in September 2008. Probably spend 4 days in each. Received some very good advice on the Cebu forum, and would appreciate some info from you experts regarding Davao City.

Read about 23 pages on this forum, and have gained a lot of insight of Davao City.

1. Hotels:

I am on a hotel budget ($30. 00 max). I have limited my hotel choices to Hotel Galleria, Tower Inn, Las Casita or the Bogobo House Hotel.

Questions: Which of these hotels is the closest to Apo Hotel?

Is it within walking distance?

Do any of these hotels have safety boxes in the room or lobby?

2. Venue:

I read that the Venue is a disco/bar. I am in my early 50’s.

Question: Is the Venue strictly for the young crowd? Would I feel out of place?

3. Beach:

Since there is nothing much to do during the day, I would like to spend an afternoon visiting a beach.

Question: What local beach could I ask the cab driver to take me within the Davao city limits?

Although I am street smart (living in New York City), I would also like to visit Bonguyan beach. Would you advise a newbie to go there?

4. Victoria Mall and SM. Which of the 2 is your favorite?

5. What day/time is best to visit Ground Zero, the convenience store/bar when females maybe in abundance?

6. KTV.

When I hear of a KTV place (from my Thailand experiences), it reminds me of a venue where you are escorted to a room, given food snacks and a girl to sit and sometimes sing karaoke. If you want the girl, you are charged a separate price for takeout.

Question: Is the above setup similar in a Davao KTV? Or can one just walk in and choose a girl for takout? In HILLTOWN KTV, how much would I be expected to pay for a short-time?

7. How much should one expect to pay in a Brothel for a short-time encounter?

8. Does the Moonlight club still exist?

9. What itinerary would you suggest a visitor of 4 days to embark upon meeting women for p4p? Street, clubs etc.

10. Just curious, Are there other means of transportation going from Cebu to Davao City (besides Air). Are Buses or Ferry’s available? .

Thank You.

Yes , I have commented on this 'kidnapping' before , as follows , 8th August :

"Hi Guys

Ignore attempts to kidnap you and take you to another thread.

This is the official ISG Davao Board/Thread , where unembellished facts rule".

If you read a question here , you answer it here.

So , if 'kidnapping allowed' , this means we go to the other thread and tell folks there , we will answer them here , on this thread ? , lol. Not likely , lol.

Tom2. : Mahku is well qualified to answer those questions as he is a practising monger. But you have posed a lot of questions , some I consider unnecessary and some already answered in previous pages , in my opinion.

Regarding getting from Cebu to Davao , have a look at the map. No bus etc , plane is really the only option , Cebu Pacific airline good fares. Buy at Robinsons Dept Store , Cebu City , or wherever convenient.

With four days you will have plenty of time to try those places you suggest and come to your own conclusions. What I or someone else likes is really irrelevant when all is said and done. Its what you think that counts and you have plenty of time to check out those places mentioned and the small sex scene of Davao City. Do not forget Club 91 , full details on these pages by Mahku recently.

Presume you are going to submit a Report in due course. Especially if some one goes to the trouble of answering your questions.

Avoid being kidnapped , lol.

Member #4491

12-14-07, 08:57

Tom. Here is my my view of this.

1. Hotels:

I stayed at Hotel Galleria ans Las Casitas. Think Galleria is closest but it is a matter of a few hundred meters between. Definitely walking distance. Galleria have a very small pool that does not attract me.

2. Venue:

Yes I think you would.

3. Beach:

To avoid paradise you could go to beaches towads/in Toril. Ask for Seagull white sands beach resort and when you are there you ask the cabdriver to continue down the road to the less upscaled beach. Also the beach club in Lanang, just next to Pearl Farm dock is good and "local". A really fucked up "beach" is Monolian/Mongoian beach where a lot of people go just to drink and drink and drink. This is more the place to crash when everything else is closed at 5 in the morning.

4. Victoria Mall and SM. Which of the 2 is your favorite?
Gaisano. :-)

5. What day/time is best to visit Ground Zero, the convenience store/bar when females maybe in abundance?
Weekends (Fri+Sat) without any doubt.

6. KTV.

Expensive and the lady drinks just keeps coming in often.
The one I visited required 10 drinks for her to go... 2000 p. Ouch.
Better to chat/pick up girls up in the mall, on the streets or go to a casa. Not hard to meet a non pro if you are the least charming.

7. How much should one expect to pay in a Brothel for a short-time encounter?
500 - 1000 p, depending on how desperate and white you look. :-)

9. What itinerary would you suggest a visitor of 4 days to embark upon meeting women for p4p? Street, clubs etc.

If we talk p4p strictly: Start with Plaza Roman at 6 pm when they open. Great massage and some cuties to choose from. Go out for a few drinks and at 10 it is time again. Go to a casa if u did not find a working girl in the club/bar. All cab drivers know where to go. Some more drinks and party, and on the way home stop by 1) the beautiful angels that are everywhere in the neighborhood of Galleria and bring one home for the night (500 normal, but often a bit higher) and 2) a pharmacy for some drugs (viagra, cyalis... anything) and more condoms. :-)

Have a great time and be nice and generous to those girls!

About you question on Venue. Yes the schen is quite young. In most places like Autoshop, Station 91, etc there are few 50+. But in the end I guess it is all up to you. I saw several guys in their 50:s - some totally out of place and some where 24 again. In synch and dancing and partying. :-)

The hotel limit of 30 USD will get you quite far. Specially if you book in advance and get the simplest rooms.

Fine GE so post in both forums and let both of them be sources of information.

People (especially newbies) are always going to look in the main forum first anyway. If they don't see anything there they probably won't even know to look at DS's forum. So if the main goal is information sharing posts should ALSO be made in the main forum.

Hi.

I will be visiting Cebu and Davao City in September 2008. Probably spend 4 days in each. Received some very good advice on the Cebu forum, and would appreciate some info from you experts regarding Davao City.

Read about 23 pages on this forum, and have gained a lot of insight of Davao City.

1. Hotels:

I am on a hotel budget ($30. 00 max). I have limited my hotel choices to Hotel Galleria, Tower Inn, Las Casita or the Bogobo House Hotel.

Questions: Which of these hotels is the closest to Apo Hotel?

Is it within walking distance?

Do any of these hotels have safety boxes in the room or lobby? TomGalleria consistently gets the best reviews and it's close to Apo View. I've only ever stayed in Apo View, Marco Polo, Grand Regal and Insular. Davao is one of the cheapest places in the world to get an upscale hotel room. Even people on a budget can afford it for short periods of time (like 4 days).

2. Venue:

I read that the Venue is a disco/bar. I am in my early 50’s.

Question: Is the Venue strictly for the young crowd? Would I feel out of place? I've seen guys older than you with girls that couldn't have been far past 18. But the Venue has been pretty dead lately, even on weekends. But it's still worth a look. I picked up a couple of lovelies there in July. Don't forget that the Venue is a compound with several other establishments and an outdoor seating area. At the back is a small disco called Halo. This place puts off a slightly more age conscious vibe, but older guys can still do well here.

A friend of mine who's a DJ at a local radio station told me that Autoshop is the most happening place right now. On weekends it's packed, especially the enclosed discos. The outdoor area is better for browsing and mingling.

Rizal Promenade is a compact little hormone zone. Lots of horniness looking for a home. The beer bar in the middle is a good strategic spot for catching any women that are coming in, unless they're going into Bar 183, which you'll have to go inside and check out. I've seen Bar 183 have unattached girls even on Monday night, which is usually a dead night in Davao.

Next to Rizal Promenade is Swig. I used to go here but in the last 3 visits I've never seen a reason to go in. Last time in October it was closed altogether for some reason. Even when it's been open it was either empty or didn't have any women inside.

My personal favorite lately has been Station 91. I reported on that a few days ago and also after the July trip.

There's also Someplace Else next to De Bonte Koe. Make sure to sit outside if you want to meet people.

One place I've been meaning to go to is Matina Town Square, across the river and near NCCC Mall. Someone should do a report on this place.

3. Beach:

Since there is nothing much to do during the day, I would like to spend an afternoon visiting a beach.

Question: What local beach could I ask the cab driver to take me within the Davao city limits?

Although I am street smart (living in New York City), I would also like to visit Bonguyan beach. Would you advise a newbie to go there? My favorite beach in the area is the one at Talikud Island, where we stop off between scuba dives. Clear water and good sand. You can barbecue shrimp and stuff right there. One of the dive shops will organize a trip out there, even if you're not a diver.

4. Victoria Mall and SM. Which of the 2 is your favorite?

5. What day/time is best to visit Ground Zero, the convenience store/bar when females maybe in abundance? As Barba said, in the area of Victoria Mall Gaisano is miles better. Victoria is sort of old and drab. Gaisano is a great hunting spot. You can make eye contact and move in all the time. SM is fine, but it just involves a little more traffic getting there.

Ground Zero is best visited in the afternoon and early evening. That's when the students from the nearby nursing school may be hanging around. As the evening wears on the clientele gets less appealing.

6. KTV.

When I hear of a KTV place (from my Thailand experiences), it reminds me of a venue where you are escorted to a room, given food snacks and a girl to sit and sometimes sing karaoke. If you want the girl, you are charged a separate price for takeout.

Question: Is the above setup similar in a Davao KTV? Or can one just walk in and choose a girl for takout? In HILLTOWN KTV, how much would I be expected to pay for a short-time?

7. How much should one expect to pay in a Brothel for a short-time encounter?

8. Does the Moonlight club still exist? KTVs are basically the local version of the Japanese hostess bar. The main pasttime there is for guys to compete with each other on how much money they can spend. It's not the place for a monger looking to get good value. There's also no guarantee that the quality of girl is all that good either.

Brothels I don't know. I never found the need for one in Davao.

Moonlight, when last reported on, was said to be given over to the limp wrist crowd.

9. What itinerary would you suggest a visitor of 4 days to embark upon meeting women for p4p? Street, clubs etc. 4 days? Prepare in advance by chatting and messaging girls in places like Filipinaheart, Match.com, Filipinokisses. Whatever. On arrival meet these girls in the daytime and early evening. When you have free time go hunting in the malls or clubs. Exploit whatever breakthroughs happen.

10. Just curious, Are there other means of transportation going from Cebu to Davao City (besides Air). Are Buses or Ferry’s available? .

Thank You.

TomNo way will you ever want to do this when you've only got 4 days each in Davao and Cebu. The only time I would even think about it is if I had a girl that I want to shack up with in a ferry cabin for a few days, which could happen actually.

Another way to do this is to break it up with a stop in Cagayan de Oro, another excellent spot teeming with beauties. Take a bus to Cagayan, then ferry to Cebu.

Barba.

Well done , nice guidance.

And I see now , after typing this out , Mahku has put in another comprehensive post. Tom2 should be happy.

And yes all mongers should be nice to the girls , especially Xmas N Year period , when it is so important to them. Where possible , we should make sure they do not go hungry during this period.

For anyone over 50 , I found Boulevard on Rizal St a better chance than Venu. But only marginally so.

Ground Zero to 9pm is a slight chance. After that , my impression , drunk filipino guys start to take over.

I hope Tom2 has lined up some pen pal type girls , eg www.filipinaheart.com for back up purposes.

Do not expect too much action from Davao , and you will not be disappointed. Cebu City is superior. Personal opinion only of course.

Thanks to all for your help.

Cut/paste of your posts is building up my itinerary.

My only reason for asking about traveling between Cebu & Davao (other than air) is I will be in Asia for 5 months. My luggage weight for Cebu Air will exceed their limit.
A fine of $20.00 per kilo will be imposed.

I should have looked at a regional map of the Philippines before asking that question.

I will probably just leave most of my luggage in a cheap Thai hotel (for my return) and take a carry-on to the Philippines..

Tom.

Sxxxx

12-15-07, 20:51

Re leaving luggage in cheap hotel Thailand.

In most respects Thai's can be more honest than Filipino's, but there can be exceptions. Currently I have left luggage in cheap guest house in Thailand for 2 years now , and know for sure it will be there when I return, cause I have been using the same guest house with same owners for many years.

Of course you will try to leave no tempting items back in Thailand. If you select a cheap hotel that is known and used say by ISG guys, then I would say its an ok risk. But if you pick a newly established hotel with unknown track record, then the risk gets a bit higher. Bag must be locked. Do not tempt poorly paid staff.

Preferably personally hand over luggage to actual Manager or owner of said hotel.

Its the kind of risk I take regularly, and haven't had problems with so far. I presume there are left luggage lockers at the new Bangkok Airport, you could confirm on Internet, but most probably their rates make it prohibitive, don't know. Left luggage would be absolutely safe.

Don't know why you are carrying so much stuff with you, presumably condoms in the main lol. Reminds me of a friend. We travelled around the world for one year. He started out and travelled for one year with only a carry on bag, no check-in. That's taking travelling light to the max, lol.

Lightweight clothes etc. For hot tropics, no jackets etc. Laptop etc can be carry on, many things can be carry on. Recently I have been travelling with only 12kgs check-in, no high value items included, and the max 7 kgs carry-on high value items, plus camera hanging from neck, laptop held separately etc.

In recent times Philippines has been freaky about liquids , gels and creams. Not allowed as carry on , along with twine , razors , scissors etc. I had masking tape in my carry-on once. They took it off me. I said "why" , security unrolled some and put it across his mouth. Security risk. Got a sense of humour that lot.

Curiosity. What's all the excess baggage, condoms ? lol.

You will enjoy the natural friendliness and superior english language skills of the Filipinos. In my opinion the Filipino girls are better in and out of bed.

Trip report later on mandatory, lol

Its a pity that there are two Davao threads but its a no brainer for me. I have been coming here for nearly four years and I have to say that while Dragonslayer's forum is active I will be a frequent visitor. I get consistent good intelligence from Dragonslayer and GoodEnough. The Playboy and the Intellectual make a formidable team.

I go to a lot of online forums and ISG is the best source of information on Davao on the net. This particular forum has been slow at times but still better than the other internet sites but for regular consistency you cant beat the two of them. Once you get past DS's personality there is a ton of wisdom and sound advice in a lot of his posts.

I will go where the best and current info is I owe it to myself I want to enjoy my Davao trip. I have read great posts here in the past from Makhu and Spamhog and others but until recently it has been a bit dry. My feeling is it will always be like this while most of us are infrequent visitors to Davao.

You can say what you like about this being the official Davao thread it doesnt mean a thing without good information coming all the time. Hard to beat a man on the ground and a man in the air. Thats my opinion.

Hi again,

Can only agree to 100% that Autoshop is the place to party. Beautiful girls - both pro and non working girls... hard to tell the difference some times for me.

And Station 91 with the high energy clubby place upstairs is definately worth a visit weekends.

A LOt of chicas in 183 saturday. Some dance competition that attracted the pretty ones.

Went by Matina Town Square briefly one evening and there was quite a lot of people, even though it was a sunday. Definately has potential for next trip.

Loads of people at K1 and Idol rest when I went there on a regular week day, but most where sitting down drinking beer and eating.

Great post BB,

But two threads have proven to be a very good thing in this case. DS is a colorful guy, but he's also a bit abrasive. It's nice to see that the usual Davao thread has become less confrontational and also great to see that the new DS Davao thread has become a good place for information. Sometimes two wrongs do make a right.

I’ve been looking at direct international flights in and out of Davao’s “Francisco Bangoy International Airport” in preparation for my next Mindanao visit, probably in April. By flying through Manila’s “Ninoy Aquino International Airport” hub you have almost 30 international airlines to choose from linking to all the world’s major airports. Davao is somewhat more limited with currently 4 “international” carriers to regional destinations.

Silk Air flies daily from Singapore to Davao, directly on Wed/Fri/Sun and indirectly via Cebu on the other days. Direct flights from Davao to Singapore are on Mon/Tue/Thu/Sat and through Cebu on the other days. Silk Air does have a few “hot deals” but none available for many months. The standard “Fully Flex” return fare is $US713, or a hefty $US587 one way.

A better option is Cebu Pacific, offering budget fares between Singapore and Davao for less than $US50, but you can double this with add on taxes, insurances and fuel surcharges. Still very reasonable and a nice comfortable, informal service I found it to be. Cebu Pacific flies from Singapore to Davao on Tue/Wed/Thu/Sat/Sun via Cebu and via Clark (Angeles City) daily. Davao to Singapore is indirect but I see Cebu Pacific has scheduled direct flights from Davao to Singapore on Tue/Thu/Sun from 8th May 2008 for just 1,999 pesos (plus surcharges).

To complete the Davao international flight picture I see Indonesian airline Sriwjaya Air island-hops from Davao to Gorontalo in Northern Sulawesi (apparently great diving) with unknown flight frequency. And local airline Asian Spirit flies daily to Kororo in Palau, Micronesia. Palau was ranked and listed by CEDAM International as the ranking Number 1 Underwater Wonder of the World out of the seven underwater wonders.

I have also posted a bit about budget airlines on the Cebu forum.

Kong King , king of reports , thanks for the unembellished facts. Mongers need objective information.

Fortunately discount airlines have arrived in Philippines and Thailand too.

I know you can get from Philippines to Bangkok for P1200 plus fuel surcharges , taxes etc. Ticket still ends up very cheap. Not sure if the flights are only ex Manila and/or ex Cebu. Another thing I am not sure of , think you get to Bangkok cheap but return ticket not cheap. Anyone got any take on that ?

Folks interested in Davao should always check cebupacificair.com website for fares and latest deals.

Over the last two year, I have done a fair bit of traveling in Asia and been to the most popular destinations. Now that I have passed the kid in the sweet shop faze, I feel I should be seeing the real Asia and, with some serious mongering in mind! I was flying from Hong Kong so Davao was an easy destination to get too. My plan was to stay in Davao for 5 days and then fly into Clarke saving that horrible journey Manila to AC.

Davao also interested me as being a fully non-smoking city!

Hotel Galleria

I had pre booked the Hotel Galleria over the internet for 2 nights; the plan was to move about once there.

I arrived early 7am, my hotel collection was late! Not a good start!

When I got to the Galleria my room was not ready, so they put me in temp room until 2pm. Which I thought was nice!

First impression of hotel is a bit tatty. It has wi-fi but you are required to buy air-time. 100p per hour, cheap but you sometimes stay logged in even if computer is off. So a 5 min login can work out expensive!

I had a double deluxe which was in region of 1450p per night. Everything you need except safe.

No problems about bringing girls back at all.

The first night (Friday 9th November) I went out about 8 pm. Walked pass Apo View Hotel and was approached by mamasam on major junction in front of hotel. About 4 girls but none took my fancy, so I did not indulge.

Had a meal at Banoks, which was mostly local couples on a Friday night out.

Walking back towards Apo View Hotel, I was approached by another mamasn a young girl took my fancy and agreed 1500 LT. It was with the proviso that hotel staff would check girls I'd to confirm age as she looked very young.

Hotel could not confirm girl’s age, but then there was also a problem about paying first. So I decided to cut her loose.

Mamason said she could get another girl. I went with her to original pimp in front of apple view Hotel. Took another girl & agreed to pay after. Paid 500 peso to mamasn up front.

Girl wants to go at 4pm because of her kid. So I said ok 500 st. She agreed. Don't know if true but she tell me that she has to pay two mamasans now. One 500 the other 300. She only got 200.

I got her mobile number and said I would pay her 200p for every girl she organized for me, so she could get some money back. But I never saw this girl again and I lost her number!

The night was still young after boning Liecl, so headed out again.

Went to lighthouse, (Interestingly this place has WiFi and is situated opposite from Banoks) was very busy with local Pilipino, also chatting to SW. Mamasan came up to a mixed group and called a fat girl out, who was replaced by another slim girl. Fat girl now left out and on her own and nowhere to go. Guess who get lumbered with fatty!

We talk, she tries to make out she is regular girl, so I go along.

I clock two girls sitting on the table that fatty had got ejected from, who I liked. I missed my chance earlier to make contact and they up and leave with the Pilipino guys. I ask fatty who name was "Apple" who they were. She reluctantly tell me one of the girls name was "Roxanna"

I get Apple mobile # & tell her that, if she fixes me up with her I will give her 200p. Over next 5 days I had constant contact via text with Apple, but I never did get to fuck Roxanne and she was hot!

Left light house and ended up at go go bar, forget name something 3.

Entrance and a beer 50 peso each! Talk to one of the girls, they ask for a drink, which was a definite NO! If I remember correctly, BF 500p and 3000P for services.

I lost interest after this, drank my beer gave the girl 100p and left. I did get her mobile number before leaving though!

Can’t remember where I went after this, but I ended up "home alone"

A travel tip! For those of you who travel a lot, and need constant contact with home. I have signed up to skype, and also downloaded it onto my Ipaq handheld. When I am connected to wi-fi like at the lighthouse, I can call home on my handheld using it just like a normal mobile, and the call is free!

A lot easier than carrying a lap top around!

Jet lag coupled with lack of sleep, was now a real problem! In the last 72 hours, I had only had 6 hours sleep, as all my flight had been night flights.

At 5am I am wide awake, come 7am and I am out for the count.

Eventually wake up at 3pm.

Moped about, need few things and an ATM.

Another tip here!

On a previous trip, I withdrew a lot of money via the ATM, all of which was the same amount 5000p as this was the max at any one transaction. Big mistake in terms of reconciling accounts! You have about 25 withdrawals at 5000, some have statements, some are missing or ink has faded. Lack of memory and you are in deep shit! The simple answer is, withdrawing money sequentially! Start at 5000p then 4800p all the way down to 4000p where you start back up to 5000 again. As long as money on statement is in sequence, you know that there are no mistakes! I had a massage, and eventually went out at 8pm, heading for Rizal Promenade. I was approached outside by a SW named Jeng Jeng, (She always wears a rimmed hat) The usual chit chat, She asked where I was going, and as I was on my own, I asked if she wanted to join me for a drink in Rizal Promenade. It was very quiet in there so it did not take long to get around to the main subject. We agree to 700p ST. Back at the hotel, we both shower and onto the bed for action. Getting closer to Jeng I could tell she was a smoker, her hair and upper neck reeked of tobacco. I told her direct that she smelt like an ash tray. Amazingly she is quite embarrassed about it. She sniffs her hair and goes to the bathroom.

I hear the shower start up and when she comes out her hair is washed. Although her hair was wet it was better than the stale smell. We bone and I get her mobile # with the intension of her getting me more girls.

About 10pm and I am back out and passing Station 91.

I had read about this on the forum, so I thought it worth a look. I pay the 20p admission and head on in. It is a large room with NO AC, and only two fans that I could see. As previously stated on this forum, it was HOT! Time to move on! On my way out, I am pointed to the stairs and a guy tells me that it is Air conditioned upstairs. Why not! It is a smaller room about 4m x 10m. This looked ok! So I stayed and had a couple of beers. Again local teenagers with no interest in a bolding fat bastard!

There was an announcement that there was a dance contest. I was the only western guy there but they made the announcement in English!

I did not wait for the contest, and headed out and ended up in a pool bar called "side pockets" that was also Air conditioned. It had about 5 large pool tables inside. I meet a Pilipino guy called Ronald. We were having a good time; he had traveled a lot with his job at Pepsi. I get a text from apple asking where I am, and that she and Roxanne were at Dogngany Beach Area.

Ronald knew the place and said did I want to go. I reviewed the situation, I did not really know this guy, but there again he did not suggest the destination! But on the other hand, he could tell the taxi driver anything, I would not know.

I think, sod it and off we go! Some 15 mins later we are going down this dirt road towards Dogngany Beach. There are about 10 open air bars mainly teenagers and loud music. Some are built off the ground on stilts, as I assume for when the tide comes in.

I was unable to make contact with apple as the network was busy, so we upped and left back to Davao, after a few beers and a few games of pool.

Taxi dropped us off, out side Hotel Galleria.

I felt Hungary; security guys outside hotel suggest a KTV just around the corner. Don't know why but we jumped back in taxi which took us a very long way around. Ronald said that this place will fill up later with all the local, that have been out on the [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140). And it did! No girls though!

Walking back to Galleria we bumped into a load of Billy Boys.

We had a laugh and a joke with them, but I said I was not interested. Outside Galleria they say they are Hungary and they want money for burger.

I give them 100p and say share it.

Sad but home alone again!
