Along those lines, international telephone connections are hit or miss right now, mostly miss for me. I'm in California and I have only been able to get through to the Phils by phone once since the earthquake and the connection was terrible. Also my Smart SIM roaming ain't. Yahoo IM seems to work, but audio sucks and webcam mostly freezes. Pity the poor scammers who are probably starving.

At the moment, I am hearing at least 3 more weeks before service will improve.

I always have problems getting through to Phils around New Years and Christmas. It must be all the offshore Filipinos calling their relatives to wish them Merry Christmas and the Happy New Year. Add to that severed Internet cables and you have a real problem.

There is a Philippines wide problem with Yahoo, Google and many other search engines, been going on for several days, probably coz of the Taiwan situation but also everybody is on the internet trying to get into those systems which is making everything slow, hard for me to pull up this site(SLOOOOOWWWW) and can only read my PM in the morning

You can find reports on Boracay under the "other areas" section, I did one in June (?) and a little later you will see one by a guy called Mahklu, who has a PHD in mongering. Boracay is not really all that good for mongering, normally it is a place you take your special girl for a honeymoon or a few days alone but, as everywhere in the Phils, one can always find something. You might try Cocomangas Shooters bar or a disco called "the wave" but the locals "working" the places aren't all that great looking, you might get real lucky and score one of the dozens of Korean or Japanaese tourist girls, but a wing man is advisable as they usually show up in twos threes and fours.

Good Luck

Hi,

Can somebody tell to me, in a few words of course, how is the mongering situation in Borocay?

I already tried to search on the forum but I did not find what I look for.

Be patient with me please.

Hey Mongers,

After spending hours and sometimes even day reading and relishing your reports, I'm finally ready to take the plung. But due to my work schedule, I can only travel between Dec29 to Jan 15, and I know that P.I. is a catholic country and so the girls usually go home to spend time with their families. I would appreciate any feedback or heads up any of you PI veterans can give me about traveling at this time.

P.S. My deepest appreciation to all of you, who take your time and effort in posting here, so that novices, like me, can save alot of time, money, and hard ache.

If you are planning to strickly monger then I would hang in Manila/Makati/Ermita/Malate, or Angles however if you want to see the rest of the country well,,,just avoid Cebu from the first week of January on, the ASEAN summit is then and things go nuts a week beforehand, plus Sinulog festival starts 14th. Possible you might get a good hotel room NOW before the stuff starts and Cebu is a nice area with truckloads of available women. However, you may wish to check out Davao or Cagayan De Oro. Mongering is different in those areas not so commercialized but better luck with meeting a cutie working in the store or waitressing.

As far as the Girls "disappearing" over the holidays don't worry, still plenty of 'em around, plus if you go to the provinces (Davao/Cagayan etc. thats where a lot of the Manila/Angeles pros are from.

Good luck

She sends me very sweet messages a lot. She wants to know when I'm coming back, and I can think of nothing else.

My only question is what is real and what isn't? I feel like a kid coming home from Disney World trying to figure out if the Pirates of the Carribean were actually robots. (-; But seriously, she is half my age, and a world apart. I would like to see her again, but would also like to sample other Pilipinas. I'm not sure where I go at this point. I just know I am so depressed at this point and miss her a lot.

Dude!...You just described the Disneyland of poontang. Even Disneyland gets very old if ride the same ride everyday.

Alona Beach on Panglao Island has a few basic restaurants and beer places.But Its strictly a bring your own type of place.You can take Day Trips to see the other Bohol attractions like Tarsiers,Loboc River Cruise and Chocolate Hils.Tagbilaran the Provincial Capital is a 30 minute Drive away from Alona Beach.Cheers

Spivey24 - Enjoyed your post. I don't think you're alone in experiencing PPD (Post-Pinay Depression) syndrome. Unfortunately, there is no cure that I'm aware of other than the next trip to PI.

You asked the question "what is real and what isn't?" The answer is everything you experienced was real even though it might seem more like fantasy now that you're back home to whatever your normal reality is.

I had a similar experience on a previous trip - after hitting the bars for a while I found one particular girl that I hit it off with more than others (although some others were great also). She was about half my age (19), gorgeous & seemed thrilled to be around me - something that would never happen to me in the U.S. She would have married me in an instant. I was more cautious and once back to reality in the U.S. could think things through a bit more. Even if I was sure I wanted to get married, how practical would this be? If I brought her here to the U.S. , she would not know anyone but me & I work a lot. Filipinas areren't used to being alone & family and friends are much more important there. So I think it would be a difficult adjustment for most. We kept in touch over the Internet & phone for over a year, but I made her no promises & she ended up finding someone else & getting married. Even so she still emails me once in a while to ask how I'm doing. Btw, she never once asked for money from me so there are some girls there that aren't only interested in finding a money-ko. While some mainly want your money, I think others mostly want a way out of poverty (and maybe the bar scene) to a better life with a decent guy. As for the girl you met, keep in touch with her if you really like her. Be honest with her though - if you're not interested in getting married anytime soon, let her know that & just see how things go. If you want to sample more Filipinas, I'd suggest doing that first when you go again & although I generally believe in honesty, this would be an exception -Don't tell your girl since she'll likely be very upset that you want to be with anyone but her.

Anyway, in the meantime, just try to look forward to your next trip. I don't think there will be a shortage of great girls in the PI anytime soon.

I have one question for you - Can you give any more information on Alona Beach? I like to dive a bit & like a nice beach in general. I've considered visiting Bohol on my next trip. How was it there? Is there much to do there other than diving? I'd appreciate any advice or info. you can share.

She definitely had a bit of a jealous streak and a temper, but I like a girl with a little spunk. The only problem was that I was not allowed more than 50 feet from her at any time!

A Jealous filipina? What are the odds? LOL

[Dafacer]

You sound like a big tipper...scarry to most of us...

Just breath man! Chat with her, tell her the truth that it will be X months before you get back there and NO you can't send her any money for the sick hamster, and see what happens...
