Posts: 102Hotels and itinerary planned for my July / Aug trip. Opinions welcomed, please
Ok, so Business Class airfare booked on PAL; got a decent price after the fuel price surge faded away. I'll start in Malate / Ermita, then take a bus to AC, then return to P Burgos for my final week. After researching over 50 hotels (yes, I am that anal, sadly) I've got these 3 on my radar:
Malate / Ermita: Sunny Bay Suites.
AC / Feilds: Orchard Inn Resort (not Wild Orchard).
P Burgos: Makati Palace Hotel.
All priced at $60-70/ night for decent room, which is well within my hotel budget. All are guest friendly, as far as I can tell, but are they really? All have the dates I want open and available for booking online.
Once I'm in each location, I'll enter hunter / gatherer mode and see how much fun I can have. Acquistion targets include Bar Fine girls, FL's, and I'll dabble with Apps as well once in-country.
Anyone see any red or yellow flags in my lodging selections?
Always appreciate your feedback and opinions.
I expect to generate at least one FR for each area.
Thanks for your help!

I still think I'll carry some for personal use if needed.

Posts: 462What are the thoughts about buying up some RATS and carrying them with me for girls that need to have covid tests before hotel entry?
Are RATs available to buy locally in Ph? My local Au price is about P250/ test.

Personally over ten years of travelling to PH I have not had anything stolen.
As an aside, I used to be annoyed with the "on-checkout" room check that the hotels do counting pillows and coffee bags or whatever. They have also found my forgotten things like phone chargers, tooth brush.

Do you guys bring your laptops or any other electronics? (besides obvious phones) Is it pretty safe and secure to leave your things in your room or in the Safe? I know not to leave it out when I have "company" or LTs haha primarily mean when I'm out and about hunting or touristing.

Nobody is looking at you better than us Kuripot Kelvins because you have a big heart. They are only looking at you as the bank they can depend on. Stop trying to play the big baller Daddy Morebucks. I guess you learned there is nothing to gain from it excpet more begging.

Load up Whatsapp, Viber, Line, Wechat, IMO, Instagram (with fake profile) and messenger (set up a fake profile). Also have a dummy email account that you can use incognito.
Cash exchange rates are good but shop around. ATM fees are high and most ATMs have a 10 K limit. I've never asked a hotel to change cash or advance on a card. Many businesses take credit cards.
I don't use condoms but the best bet is bring your own to ensure you have what suits you.
I haven't found massage shops to be good sources of anything but a massage. Only once offered a hand job. I usually have been in Makati or Malate and its not like Thailand with pretty girls spruiking, its more older ladies giving massages.
I dress smart casual if meeting a lady externally, crap casual when wandering around and crap casual when meeting in my room as the clothes come off in 2 minutes. Just pack some nice deodorant.
Heck the Philippines visa section of your local embassy for the latest requirements for travel.
See you own governments travel requirements for reentry.

Posts: 93Many questions, but closing loops
Sorry for all the questions. But read thru much of the threads in each of the forums and did not see these questions fully answered or being brought up. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it'll be my first time there and will be a complete rookie. I've posted questions in other forums (where they belong) as I don't want to bog down this one in regards to hotels and things for other areas.
Is the new holy trifecta (Tinder, Pinalove, Bumble) the best bet? Is FilipinoCupid, TanTan, and OyOy still another good option? Should I bother going to a barangay for "company" or would that be too advanced for my first time here? LOL Is WhatsApp or LINE better here? Carry a paper copy of my passport and IDs with me instead of the actual things? A team of us are going in, all different shades LOL white, black, brown, and yellow. Was wondering how much luck each one would have, want to make sure we don't indirectly cockblock each other. All in our late 20's, early 30's. Are the condoms there "western" sized?
What bank ATMs are best for withdrawing money if your bank is in the US? Also, are the ATM fees bad? Read about ATM issues (cloning, skimming, ID theft, etc.). Is it possible to have the hotel give you a cash advance on your card or just bill it to your room? Some guys had mentioned driving back to the Airport just to pull more money, but not sure if its worth it if you can only pull $200 per day. Signed up for some SW groups on FB, but hard to understand the lingo and acronyms, are these pretty easy to use for getting girls over?
Should I bother with any massage parlors (need a minimum of BBBJ and max of FS)? Can you get PrEP OTC? Should I pack some nice looking clothes (I. E. Collared polo, jeans, nice shoes) or can I get into any establishment with shorts and a reg shirt? Not sure if some places have dress codes. Thanks Westie for your answers on my prior questions. I hope my short internship there will lighten the burden and assist you all in your strenuous vaxxing endeavors.
Pre-flight.
Will a PCR test be needed if I'm flying between cities in the Philippines (I. E. AC to Manila)? Medical insurance?
Arrival.
Transportation to hotel still available late at night? Sim card (bring own phone or best to buy one there?) I know someone had a cab driver on call they were willing to share. I couldn't find the post again, would it be possible to PM me the info? Also, will the money changers and cell phone companies be open after 10 pm at the airport in Manila? Regular Cabs rates this late?
Departure.
Where can I get a PCR test before departing in Manila? Will need it to return back to my country of origin.

Is it a search for prettier, more educated or English speaking girls? Or is it some sort of FinDom experience where the guys enjoy being subservient?
As the good DrB says, why do this when one can walk into any number of bars, KTVs or websites and have a hassle free experience?
If I ever want a laugh, I quite often have a read of the Seeking Forum here to read of many guys paying big bucks to develope a "relationship" with a hooker only to be treated like shit. I've never understood it.
Cheers. G.

Then some kept saying they are coming and wound up pulling I can't make it at the last minute, etc. Keep in mind Alua is a more expensive site where you wind up paying per 10 characters they send you. So from that point I just went dark on that and counted that as a loss. Met one on Massage Republic who came through but didn't keep her on the team. There are a lot of outcall services on Telegram that I kept getting texts from. One that I had met from Tagged during the height of the pandemic did come through, actually had a good time and I had promised here a larger amount due to past dealings but once paid, I started getting the its my kids birthday coming up or my sick mother.
Best bet, just go to some of the GoGo clubs or to LA Cafe and pull you one from there and make a deal for your time there.
