General Info

[Cebu Local]

Cebu Local gives us a story that is a bit far fetched. As much as I appreciate his numerous informative contributions, I find it hard to believe the police would be so out of touch as to raid a high class parlor that was servicing the elite of the city....hmmmm. urban myth?

No so long ago, I posted (Cebu thread) a news article from a newspaper about the raid at a well-known Cebu establishment. Is it still closed?

Just curious. X Man

Actually I do a lot of business with Air Force 1 as well as Most of the Hotel Concierges send their high end clients there,Since We Travel agents get a generous commision paid promptly and the confidence of knowing our tour groups will never suffer the embarassment of a police raid.You should see the tour buses parked there,sometimes 3-4 of them at one time.The next time you are in Manila,Ask around if you know of Air force 1 ever being raided.You may be surprised by the answers you get from the locals,Ask the Hotel Concierges especially those of the 5 star hotels and out of curiosity Have you visited AF 1???Drop me a PM the next time you are in Manila and I would be more then happy to bring you there as their guest totally free and fully hosted by AF 1 like I did for Crazier 2 weeks ago,

Being in the travel business He needed a "safe"place to bring his tour groups to also.It is more then a MP,The KTV,Club and MP operations employ over 800 women per shift at 2 shifts daily with over 400 support staff.During the last ATF 2 weeks ago in the Philippines,The Laotian and Burmese Tourism Ministers and their support staff were here accompanied by their Philippine hosts.Would the Philippines dare risk an International incident by raiding and arresting them???I dont think so.When Crazier was with me,inspecting the place,The following were inhouse.Several diplomatic staff,a party from the office of the First gentleman,the city Administrator of Paranaque where AF 1 is located,a navy commodore,and at least 3 congressmen and 2 mayors.I think it would have been a career ending move for any cops raiding.You dont screw around with the people of the First gentleman Mr Arroyo.His wife only happens to be THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES.Anyway just my viewpoint and You never know what the future holds,But it hasnt been raided in the last SEVEN years.So I will continue to bring my Chinese,Japanese and Korean tour groups there in forseeable future.Just my personal experiences with them

The assumption typically made here when raids such as this occur, is that the bar owner did not pay the police or other law enforcement officials the expected amount, or did not pay at all. Usually, when such clubs get raided here, they're shut down for a week or so, and then reopen as if nothing untoward had occurred. Again, the assumption is generally made that the payoff situation got straightened out.

It's very difficult (try impossible) for me to believe that there's any moral concern, on the part of the authorities, about prostitution. Everything in this country always comes down to money, payoffs, and simple graft. The bars on Burgos St, the EDSA complex, and other, similar areas of Manila are major tourist attractions. When is the last time that anyone heard of these places being shuttered due to a police action? In fact, there are cops all over Burgos all of the time and I always assumed they were present to ensure that the tourists didn't get in trouble.

Remember, there are laws on the books here about virtually everything. They are enforced sporadically and only when the authorities want or need a rationale to do something. Hell, if even half of the traffic laws in Davao were enforced consistently, this might even become a safe place in which to drive. I imagine that the anti-prostitution laws here exist largely to placate the Catholic church, which weilds enormous power and influence in this country.

The fact is, prostitution is a booming (pun intended) business, and many of the glitzier strip bars are own by or connected to powerful political families. This is not a sector which is going out of business any time soon.

:D

That is so true,I brought Crazier to Air Force 1 and He and I were talking to one of the people in senior management.It has NEVER been raided,He even shared a story where a police raiding party arrived only to discover 2 Congressmen,The Mayor and a Police General being serviced.Needless to say the Cops were slapped in the face publicly by the General,Disarmed,Suspended and Transferred To Rebel Fighting duty in Mindanao the following week.There are "untouchable places" like PDP in Makati,Pesgasus in QC etc.Has Edsa ever been closed????All is not always as it appeares to be on the surface

I guess the Filipino police figure that this is a crime for some other reason than that it is taking advantage of women.

Not my take on the situation, but those who make these laws figure that every girl who has sex for money is being abused in some way.

The Filipino police do a sting and actually take the girl back to a room and while having sex with the girl someone breaks in the room and takes pictures. The police actually attached the pictures to the official report.

The fact that this law can be applied to us all is disturbing as well. If they were to start to apply this law I believe that tourism would drop to little more than a trickle.

Glad to see that Manny has made his way back to the top of his profession. I remember seeing him fight a few years ago when he came out of no where to clean a few of the top contenders clocks.

This guy is a fantastic boxer

I saw a replay of their first fight it ended in a draw but I thought Manny clearly won that fight.

I'm making my first trip to Cebu on March 28 thru the 31st. If any one wants to hook up and hang out, have a drink or two and chase ladies, hit me with a PM. I head to Angeles City (my stomping grounds) on April 1st. Same thing applies there.

Most countries require you to clear customs/immigration before you depart overseas. they stamp your passport to determine how many days you have been away and they pull up your crim history at the same time. good luck!

I was asked by a co-worker who is traveling to the Philippines and Thailand with 5 friends next month a good question I do not have the answer for. One in the group has a bench warrant issued for him for a gross misdemeanor driving after cancellation here in the United States. He also has a felony drug conviction on his record that he served time for. His friends are not worried about him getting to Thailand, but when he clears US Customs on reentry into the United States, will he be arrested on this gross misdemeanor traffic warrant?

[Ekspat]

Fourteen trips and only 5 reports.

If you look at the "reports", there aren't any.
Just always the same type of question, where to find, where to go etc blabla.

Cheers!

I suspect there are a few different places that you describe. One that I looked at was Asian babes or something like that.

I can't imagine paying for such a service though. I'd rather save my money, travel, and get a live show.

I'm taking my first trip to the Philippines after 14 times to Thailand, and I would like to get some suggestions of where I should head when I reach Manilla,

I'm looking for some where I can find pussy in discos instead of bar fines. A place close to a beach would be preferable.

Also, whats the deal with non ***** action?

Thanks

If you want a beach you should get out of manila asap and head for some nice places like cebu, boracay, palawan or bohol. And if you're looking for pussy without a pay you'll find those even in Manila. The Makati area has some nice clubs which don't have a high number of working girls but in the end you still pay. If not directly then by having to please them, buy them drinks, dinner, movies ;-)

X Man is absolutely right! Fourteen trips and only 5 reports. WoW! Don't skimp on the reports guys. Any piece of info you might have may be valuable to us other members. Perform your duties and post them damn reports!
