Centuria Medical Center. Brand new, across the street (Luna St) from Century Mall, Gramercy (I had my back to the Gramercy Residences literally taking those pics), next to Trump Tower, Knightsbridge and Milano Residences and A-Venue. Anyone tried the place?

Welcome. Go to reception / information desk, tell them your medical needs and they will direct you to the right doctor.

Did blood analysis at 10, results to be delivered 5 days after at same place. Cost.

3 k PHP.

Medics delivered in the onsite pharmacy, costs 5 k due to one medic considered as costly.

No personal health insurance for abroad, but need to check with my national health insurance how they take that in account.

Globally very efficient, was finished before 11 am.

Other options don't need to be close if they have many flights per day. An hour flight can be much quicker than driving across Metro Manila.

Hear, hear, I feel exactly the same. My trips always have the first & last 3-5 days in Manila because the pool of fish is so plentiful. Then off to random provinces for some real vacation / exploration with hopefully some 'dates' involved! The 1 hour flights are dirt cheap too.

Which last time wasn't as much fun for those same reasons. Any special reason to go to Angeles, apart from convenience? Just think my time is better spent in more laid back places.

Thanks for the help.

You love or hate Angeles depends on your experience. Cannot go by what others say. But you need to experience Angeles at least once in your life. If you are booking hotels always call the hotel directly and book. If you pay cash they give 10 percent discount. Also if you book for three days and want to leave after one day they will let you without penalty.

If you did not like Pattaya, Angeles City is probably not for you.

3 is enough for a starter kit.

You have 1 to 3 chance of using it. Based on my calculations of 10 vulnerable days out of 30.

I used one the other night. Folks remember these are taken orally, by the girl!

I would have thought the opposite. AC is full of white middle aged guys whom all have 1 (or more) Filipina by their side.

As for "loads of cash" ways to find girls for whom spare USD20 is loads of cash.

Please include AC on you agenda. I'd suggest organizing your domestic flights like CEB-CRK-MNL so you have one less road trip between MNL & CRK.

Go with your gut if you have RTFF and make hat decision as we all do as we all have different flavours.

PM if you want a few contacts please.

And as a matter of interest to my mind at least LOL you have 3 FRs in 2010 (questions) , 1 and 2011 (question) and this one so perhaps a posting with some info on Mexico etc would be nice as you must have had lots of replies.

Look forward to the PM EQ if you decide to go and need contacts non pros.
