General Reports

[QUOTE=Donnylad;1393231]I was told that on Juana Osmena st girls stand outside this hotel (I forgot the name) after 8/9pm. I went there too early one day and had no luck but just thought I would mention it.[/QUOTE]I live just off Juana Osmena. I'm surprised you didn't find anything there, unless you were very early. There are usually several at various places on the street pretty much any time after dark.

When I am walking home from Fuente, I am often approached in the 7-11 parking lot or just north of it. There might also sometimes be a girl or two across the street outside the National Bookstore. Further north, outside the beauty salon (closed at that time) just north of Baseline, there will usually be one or two, and I have often seen as many as six-seven. At the intersection of Mango and Maria Cristina, there will often be one or two on one of the corners. Further north (toward Escario) there will occasionally be one, but I would recommend the Mango end of the street for the best hunting.

I'm not sure how late the action goes, because I'm not a late-night person, but one night recently I had to go to the airport at 1am to meet friends coming in on a delayed flight and I walked to the Maria Cristina corner to get a taxi. There was one girl working that corner. Can't say about the rest of the street.

As is usual with street action, the numbers and quality can vary greatly, but some are nice-looking. I have never partaken of the offers here, but I have asked prices a few times. They usually ask 800 or 1000, but any show of reluctance brings the price down quickly. Five hundred is the lowest I've heard offered.

[QUOTE=Donnylad;1393231]The taxi driver said Junquera st is usually active. No one there either, but we found another slum house place on Junquera.[/QUOTE]Where on Junquera?

Maxwell hotel good place room about 35 a night on and Escario st.

[QUOTE=YellowStar45;1394100]Maxwell hotel good place room about 35 a night on and Escario st.[/QUOTE]With only 7 posts and almost every one mentioning this hotel, I'm calling [b]SHILL! [/b]

The street between National Book Store (Mango) and Escario Street is called Osmena Extension on local maps. It's best on.

Friday and Saturday nights after 9pm. There are at least 3 groups of girls with mamasans and a couple of loners if you walk the whole street.

I never pay over 700p and usually just get the girl's cell# and pay 500p for repeat sessions.

Enjoy,

Cheapy

I don't doubt what you're saying about local maps, Cheapy, but I've never heard it called anything but Juana Osmena, that's what Google Maps calls it, and cab drivers always know exactly what I mean when I give it as my destination.

I agree about the prices.

I agree about the prices.[/QUOTE]Alot of locals call it "J Osmena". Fairly common.

Some of the younger locals call it "J-Os". Maybe it's a play on J-Ave?

Typical conversation goes something like this;"I live on J-Os, just near Mango and behind Cebu Docs".

After my first couple of days and nights out in Cebu, I have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. For years I have read on the forum about the Ayala Mall and the clubs of Mango Ave, which had become legend. To be fair, my expectations may have loomed a little too large. Compared to other places that I have visited in the world, though, here is my impression:

I would echo what other forum posters have stated in that the PI is definitely more 'third world' then other places in SE Asia, or any other destination for that matter. Open poverty is just at another level here, which to tell you the truth, made me feel a little out of place. Other travelers who have never been here should be prepared for that.

The famed Ayala Mall is an average mall by North American standards, but my PI standards, is probably luxurious. Everything is very affordable here. Got an unlocked cell phone with 30 min credit for about $28. Forget the food court. The outer rim of the mall is lined by terraces which have nicer restaurants that have fantastic food for cheap. Not that they are divey. Think of your average mall with a TGI Fridays along the side. (In fact, there is one here.) I ate like a king for about $12, and I have a very big appetite. Someone with an average appetite could probably get by with less. I went to Bo's Coffee, which is a local coffee chain not unlike Starbucks. Definitely saw the foreigners here, but didn't get the impression that it was a pickup joint. In fact, I was only solicited once at the mall as a whole. It really just feels like an above average American mall. But because everything else here is so dodgy, it becomes the focal point for anyone with even an average income.

At night, visited some of the bars on Mango. Vikings is an average pickup bar. The women are very average. 5's or 6's at best. Despite that, they don't circulate like they should. Bars like this have gone the Korean route. It's not that they are being assholes for spoiling them. The girly circuit is different there. It's based on what is called the 'Room Salon, ' a very common set up / institution where a group of men pay pretty girls to drink with you and entertain you with their company. It's usually an after work thing, often for entertaining business clients. Sex is possible, but not necessarily assured. Girls only come when you call them over. If they are sent over sight unseen, they are usually very attractive. I suspect that Koreans view the PI as a place where Room Salons are cheaper. Unfortunately, this system makes the girls more aloof, and unlike what most westerners want, which I suspect are girls straddling the line of being forward when they detect that a guy likes them. And their mastery of that skill is what separates good clubs from the bad ones.

Overall, I was very unimpressed by any of the bars on Mango. Vikings was the best layout wise, but otherwise, that's not saying much. None of these bars would even rate compared to those in Thailand. One exception could be Arena, which has a much more elaborate, showroom / runway type layout. There were 1 or 2 girls here who were very good looking, an 8, with the Asian pop star look. However, I suspect that they were not really available, and just there to dance and 'wet the palate. ' The remaining girls were about 6's. This place was much more expensive, about 5-6x more expensive. Enjoyed the show when the 8's were dancing, after that, I took off not soon after.

I came to the PI as part of a larger, multi-destination trip. Looking forward to doing tourist things, like diving and seeing some cockfights. I can't speak to the girlfriend scene, but as a girly destination, somewhat disappointing. Unless you are staying here for an extended time, would probably recommend Thailand instead.

Hi Manny,

Thanks for your FR! It is not fair trying to compare Cebu with other SE Asian destinations. There are loads of girls here and it can take time to find them but they tend to appear in the least likely places! I still believe Cebu is the GFE capital of SE Asia!

Yeah Mango Avenue bikini bars have been going steadily downhill the past few years. They can be good one night and lame the next. Try checking out a few bars just off Mango Avenue, namely Lonestar, Temptations and Mavericks. The fun factor is greater as the girls are proactive.

Many of the BG from Arena and other clubs end up at J-Ave in Mango Square after 1:00 AM. If you can bare the loud music and you have a few moves, it's easy pickings! Check out IT Park after dark at a spot called "The Walk", where there are several restaurants and bars. This is ground zero for the call center industry and there are more then a few coffee shops well stocked with female agents.

One of the best cockpits is Galleria de Mandaue. Very safe venue for foreigners. They are straight shooters and trustworthy with your bets.

If you are going down to Oslob, try to get there ultra early (5:00 AM) as you will wait for hours if you show up later!

Enjoy Cebu!

Enjoy Cebu![/QUOTE]Thanks for the feedback. I did end up going to see a cockfight at a place called the Tejero Stadium, or something like that. It was safe and very cool. I also did the Oslob whale shark thing. Getting down there was a pain, but it was worth every minute of pain and every dollar. Incredible experience.

Too bad I didn't have time to check out the places you recommended. My sense of the PI is that it is more for serious LTR, rather than immediate fun. To each his own.

And by the way, my overall impression of the PI is that it was quite safe. I went to see a cockfight in another out of the way stadium, a place called Muahayahay Stadium. It was in a very dodgey area, and I wouldn't recommend anyone going there. But that would be because it was very impovershed and kind of stinky, but never dangerous. Everyone was very helpful. I don't know where this rep of danger comes from in the PI. I never sensed it at all.

I can see though why people think the PI isn't "going" anywhere. On my way into town from the airport, I saw this restaurant burning to the ground, like flames high in the air, serious fire. Then three blocks further down, there was a fire station, and all the fire engines were parked, all the lights dark, everyone sleeping. The taxi driver said this is common. Gee.

All is still in full swing and the "Bulaos" = Pimps are more helpful then ever.

One evening went to Sangciango / Paelez street. The pub "My Place was good for a beer and chat as warming up. Down at the road immediately saw a spinner with B-size tits (a rare show). Talked to her pimp with little nego agreed to 500 + 50 for him. He had to work hard to get that 50 because most of the short-time places were full. Took us 20 min cruising the area till we found a place for 200 PS. In the room, he got his share and left. The lass was quite inexperienced and shy. But deed with 2 shots was done in no hurry. Paid her the 500 and we both walked out happy.

One morning I walked at 7:30 at Osmena Circle and saw a girl sitting with her friend selling some stuff. Smiled at her and gave her a sign to walk towards me. She did. I asked her if 400 is ok. She smiled an ok. We grab a taxi to the Valley-hotel, less then 5 min drive. Room was 270. No questions asked at the reception and up we went. She told me she is in Cebu from province just since 4 days. Only had Pinoys before (so she said) and never got pussy liked. Once I introduced her to that art of excitement, she started to shiver and moan. Once her convulsion started I stuck my dick into her wet groove, pumped her in many positions and shoot finally onto her tits.

In Cebu : forget the bars with the overpriced and star-fish attitude girls, used to big-spender Koreans. Go for the FL's.

Was in Cebu for a night last week. I do love the girls of Cebu, so much nicer than the money focus of AC girls.

Flight arrived two hours late which meant I missed my first rendevous. Ended up meeting with two girls at my hotel. Excellent fun. These were referred from a previous contact.

Later that night headed out to meet up with a previous contact from another trip. This was the third time I have met this girl and still no sex. She is nice, she has something special but my trips are just too scarce to frig around with her anymore. We had some nice drinks at Slabadu and then she wouldn't come back to my hotel (says she knew the staff there) , she wanted to stay at Alpha Suites. At 1 am checked in for P2500 inc breakfast. Breakfast at Alpha is more Filipino than Western. Anyway, that's the end for this one.

Back at Marriott had a big breakfast then headed to Ayala to peruse the scene. Bo's is never going to be successful again. At the time I strolled past about 10:30, there was already 7-8 mongers sitting there waiting for the hotties. Well I can assure you there isn't going to be 7-8 girls wondering by at that time of the day. I didn't bother to hang around.

I sent off a few texts to my list of unknown DIA contacts. Ended up meeting the sister of a contact. Well actually met with the sister and her 20 year old daughter. Nothing spectacular to look at but after about 15 minutes the daughter mentions she used to work in a massage shop. P200 for a massage so I suggested we go back to the room to try out. A few minutes later I'm naked on the bed with the girl massaging me while mum watched. Once again this didn't go anywhere but for P200 it was worth a shot. Afterwards the texts kept flowing. I did of course realise it was the daughter texting me as her mum. She was promising quite a few things for next visit. That was really confusing me. Personally I'm not travelling to Cebu to fuck middle aged mother's of three. Nothing against them but I can do that at home.

In spite of the above mis-adventures I will certainly be back in Cebu. The people are friendlier and the right girls are exceptional which has been my previous experience.

DIA is still working well for me. I just arrived a few days ago and have been fairly successful so far. Just one bad experience, with a "I have never done this before" girl crying and making a sad scene.

Gave her jeepney money and told her to go home.
