I wasn't aware there was a third Cebu City to Mactan bridge (connects to Cordova on Mactan see map below) that was slated to start development this month (July) with completion date 2020.

When I have previously extended a visa beyond one month, you pay a same day processing fee and you get your passport same day with a new visa. Just recently went to the Cebu office and was told the...

I am a "close to Ayala" convert. Agree both Lex and Harolds are modern 4 star rooms at reasonable prices. Harolds Roof deck bar is one of my favourite restaurants. But I have to disagree with you....

I used to stay here of and on a few years ago after they first opened their new wing. Originally they only had one wing. The building with one lift on the left looking at reception. They then opened...

I have not stayed at Parklane for a long time where the room was a bit run down but it seems from recent reports there has been renovations. The reason I would always choose Quest is internet speed....

Thanks for all the feedback regarding my rental bond fears. Unfortunately I have already signed for 2 months bond and 1 month advance as I was told this is the common practice. The land lady is a...

I have planned an overseas SE Asian trip with a long time regular of mine most likely HK or Singapore. I have not tried to take a Filipino girl out of the country before. A Manila bar girl I know...

I recently leased an apartment for the first time. I am used to the protection of the Rental tenancy board in Australia that retains the bond. In the Philippines the landlord retains the 2 months...

Agree. I rarely have Cebu taxi drivers refuse to use the meter. I had a dream last year that I was hijacked by a taxi driver. It was a left hand drive car and an Asian driver (as distinct from...

I have had two recent taxi trips where I dropped off someone on the way to where I was going. Each time the taxi driver claimed I had to pay an extra 40 P flagfall. Not that is a big issue 40 p. Is...

I guess it depends on who you speak to. The girl I spoke to at HSBC Cebu just fobbed me off. Will try again one time.

My mode of operation has been just bringing in AUD and changing to PHP. I did set up an HSBC Premium account in Australia about a year ago with the intention of setting up a HSBC premium account in...

Yeah so that is the one I refer to as "Core Pacific L4 in the laneway where all the transfer shops are near Gold's Gym".

Was talking to a girl I met off one of the dating sites and she tells me most of her friends are mainly using Tinder now. I have not heard a lot of feedback here about Tinder in the Philippines. It...

I still think bars and BF's have their place (particularly for less frequent visitors). I am a keen fan of the key bars on Burgos. Without a lot of chatmate search / meet effort you can turn up find...

Transferred this from the Cebu Hotels thread.







Had a fair wad of AUD to change so thought I would do the trek around Ayala to compare rates.

As discussed in previous report. The Mango Bar queen has reopened Dimples now called Wild Rose. Same theme as the rest of her bars: bright open layout and the mauve orange chairs. There is a...

Thanks for all the feedback. In essence the answer is that the ID system in the Philippines is in chaos and I should not be surprised that most girls don't have formal ID. Many will have a university...

In the Western world most people would have drivers licence or proof of age card or passport. Can someone explain the ID system in the Philippines. Obviously most Filipinos won't have a passport or...

De Bonte Koe serve an excellent house wine at a cheap price per glass (160? But Henny would never tell me where the wine was from or the brand. Secret he said. Anyone had the inside info?

Sorry maybe my comment came across as facetious. You don't get any real fugglies at Kojax / XOXO / PlanB and generally you won't get hassled by girls approaching uninvited (although you might get...

I presume your report relates to Sunday night? You would have been at XOXO downstairs rather then Kojax upstairs. In actual fact I was there last night. The two slim attractive mamasans were working...

Thanks guys for all the feedback including the info on DNA testing. I didn't know you could test pre-birth. So far my commitment to pay medical costs has only cost me 5000 pesos and as mentioned in...

A girl (call her Miss T) I have known for 3 years who previously was a sponsorship arrangement but in recent years was just a pay per meet arrangement. Last month she says "congratulations I am...

Great wisdom from a long experience. Shame it is embedded down in the Cebu bars thread.

I have been heavily plowing the dating sites (mainly within Cebu and less so Manila) for 2 years (and less...
