I've only ever met one Pina who was returning from a hooking session there. Smoking hot but she wanted 15,000 peso over night in Manila which isn't that far off some of the prices being quoted on the Dubai forum: 500 AED /7500 PHP ST; 1500 AED /21000 PHP LT. Some simp was probably paying her asking price locally and her outgoings would have been much less.
Cheers. G.

There are plenty of transport and accommodation options at both so no need to commit to how many days at each before arrival. Just go have a look for yourself and decide which best suits you.
For a picky weekend millionaire, I'd point out that Manila has a lot more options in clubs, girlie bars and online.
I'd recommend Greenbelt rather than Makati proper. Greenbelt malls and the nearby area have lots to do during the day and evening (eat, drink, movies etc) and is only a very short taxi to Burgos and the Poblacion clubs. Online girls also won't get lost if you say "meet at Greenbelt 5". BGC is another option. Makati around Burgos is just a big city wasteland during the day. A pro top is that an AirBnB condo can have more features and be less intimidating for a good girl than being asked to meet in a hotel room.
Enjoy. G.

Posts: 246I used to spend a few days in Makati before spending the bulk of my time in AC. The last time I did it, believe it or not, there was way less to do in Makati during the day than AC, especially if you want things within walking distance. I couldn't even find a bar open during the day to hang out at. Makati has a great nightlife scene if you're good looking and have game. And insane amount of non pro hotties that party every night. The girlie bars do, on average, have a better looking girls. But as has been noted, you'll pay at least twice as much. I don't really go with money as an object either, but I kept thinking that this cash would go a lot further in AC. Last visit I got off the plane and got in a private car and went straight to AC. That's what I plan to do in a few weeks. If you've never done it though, Manila is definitely worth a visit.

Posts: 625710 days in Philippines
If I decide on Philippines, I only have around a 10 day window before I need to go back to Thailand. Question is how many days should I spend in Makati vs AC? In Makati I would go to the SM malls during the day then Burgos, LA Cafe, etc at night. In AC I don't think there's much to do during the day so really only Fields at night. Or should I just do 3 in Makati, 2 in AC and decide?
Although half the price I have some hesitation on the AC girl quality. I am really picky. Since it's a short trip I'll be a Weekend Millionaire so am not too phased about the high prices in Makati.

"Cebu" can mean the city, the island or the province. Trips can be from one to twelve hours and not all drivers go everywhere.
Of course, the easiest solution is to have your destination hotel come collect you. It's reliable but comes at a cost.

Posts: 2Is ther a good car service available in the Cebu area?
Hello all, I am traveling to Cebu on the 18th of this month and wanted to know if there are any reputable car service companies in the area? I really don't want to rent a vehicle given the nature of international companies.

I know this is a first world problem, but as a PI newbie I'm open to input.

From an aviation related site I frequent, it seems United are now operating non-stop flights to Manila. Daily ex-LOS Angeles, already started. I think this is the only non-PAL non-stop flight from North America.

Tourism. Last full pre-Covid year was 2019, with 8. 2 million foreign visitors (see graph, first pic). Extrapolating from the bar graph, that would add about a half million to a million per year, if not for the pandemic. Website: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...rist-arrivals/.
For the first 10 months of 2023 (see second pic), 4 million foreign visitors. Extrapolating to include the last 2 months, it should be close to 5 million. Not yet back up to the pre-pandemic extrapolation (about half as much this year), and a given is that Phils has been re-opened for 18 months. Website: http://tourism.gov.ph/files/2023/11/...23-October.pdf.
And for fun, you can see the list (third pic) of countries with foreign visitors to Phils, ranked in order from most to least. N Korea is #1 so far this year (1.1 million tourists), then the US (740K), Japan, China, Australia (207K), Canada (180K), Taiwan, and UK (125K). No wonder we're getting waxed in AC.

This is a report on how Thailand is getting a different sort of Chinese tourist: top tier and rich LGBT only. I guess the Philippines is still, ahem, virgin territory, helped by itb only catring to Koreans, Western losers and grand papas like us.
