Are there hotels (you could recommend) in the downtown area near Jonquera for westerners to stay or would you suggest getting a hotel in the tourist district.

The hotel group "Queensland" has short-time motels in Cebu. Simple, clean and adequate room for the purpose with aircon, wc and shower (not somewhere you would want to stay several nights).

There is one within a short taxi ride from Jonquera. About 300P for a 3hr short-time. 500-600P if you stay all night. The taxi driver will know where it is.

Similar to the Thai short-time hotels where you drive right up to the room, a room boy is waiting outside to show you in and he returns collect the rental when you leave. All very simple, safe and anonymous.

In response to Iron Duke's post about the Viagra, the local English paper carried a story this week about pharmacies being prosecuted for selling counterfeit drugs..........hope it is still functioning ok Iron Duke?

Haven't used it yet... an emergency supply just in case Mother Nature let's me down! However, I bought it at a branch of Mercury and I would be very surprised if they did anything not reputable.

Tom,

Cebu is safe anyplace, anytime, everywhere complimented with chicks anyplace anytime, everywhere :D

You just have to breath and be there at Cebu to pick chicks...its not
over-exageration ....You don't have to think about what we think the most while at home..

if you totally freak out, drink and f**ck 24/7....You would overspend by 20 to 30 %...but you can let your mind completely free to a new level which would be equivalent to sexual nirvana of sorts..

I only made the mistake of carrying my work load to Cebu..big mistake..but my first two weeks were bliss and then for work i got contact with outside world and it all disappeared :(

Donwtown cebu is unclean than uptown..but you can score easily...for staying...it would be better to live in uptown area ..due to many facilities and bars..pirce would be more or less same..not too much big difference..


Old folks who live in Cebu has seen the world before us and they know..they have found the paradise...its just that internet came to us and we got the information before we crossed to retirement..

Its the city that has fit retired folks and Cebu is pushing itself as retirement haven..and they surely have calculated every aspect of safety and money..so if it suits them..it will surely suit us..


Good Luck

I would not recommend a hotel downtown, but if you want sleeze central check out the Mercedes Hotel. There is also a new place downtown which I've heard good things about. I can't remember the name, but I'll look it up when I get home and can access my home computer.

Thanks X-Man the hotel info would be helpful if you can find it.

Taking a page out of what a downtown area consist of here in the USA, my perception of a "downtown" district, is a bustling area full of locals and tourist shopping going to boutiques, theaters hotels etc. Of course there are the occasional prostitutes or drug dealer plying their trade, but nothing to be frighten of.

Reading some buzz words here, I get the impression Cebu downtown has a completely different flavor. Can someone enlighten me (without the flames) on what I will see in Cebu downtown? Is walking there during the day dangerous to me?

Nice post and nice adventure. I hope you can tell us more about your Internet friend in the CHAT section.

I've helped out with the name above, but there are some other points I should clarify.

1) Go go places can be much cheaper than Mort suggests.
2) All the bar girls/street girls will tell you they are new on the job. Come back in six months and you'll get to meet them again.
3) Street pimps may ask for 1500 if you look like a newbie, but it's more like 500 or less. Maybe 1500 was the total price -- lady + tip.

4) Hilarious??? Different strokes for different folks, but I thought it was horrific to see a bunch of girls paraded in front of taxi headlights on a public street. That may be the reason for the taxi driver's reluctance. You never explained why a taxi driver was losing money on this deal...

What I meant was taxi drivers don't like taking people to Honkera simply because they lose the large percentage that they would have added on,had they brought the girl to the customer rather than taking the customer direct to the girl. The girls taking part in the parades were not shrinking violets but actually enthusiastic about parading in front of the drivers, since this is an opportunity for them to get work. I went down to the area at 2am and I will admit I was very concerned initially. My guide knew all the pimps, didn't take any crap from them and he assured me this was one of the safest places to walk in the Phillipines. He reckons the local Mafia will not allow anything to go on that threatens their trade and I really did feel very safe once I overcame my initial fear. That said it is not somewhere I would want to go flashing money or jewellery around and common sense dictates wherever you are in the world and taking a buddy along is always a good idea. The other poster Weewillem is correct with his more specific location though I was told that the action is very limited until about 6pm when it is usually going dark.

I know in Phnom Penh there was a similar scene around a park where street girls were being pimped to customers for a cheap price. But there was always the chance the pimp and the girl would run off in the park after the money was handed over to the pimp.

I just went into a pharmacy and asked for it. They asked if I had a prescription and when I said no they made me sign a form to say I had taken it before and did not hold them liable for anything.

Not cheap but at least I know I got the real thing. It's offerered on every street corner but I'm reluctant to take pills bought on the street, even if they were genuine, which I doubt.

I'm looking for a reliable supplier of Viagra in Cebu.

Anybody know of one?

(not fake stuff, from street vendors - the real thing, or a generic)

I've searched the Cebu forum for all of 2007 and can't find anything.

I'm really too old for this game, but with a little help, great things can be accomplished.

So many lovely young women - So little time!

I assume you also want to know where a cheap hospital is to take care of any dieses you pick up also!

What about the girls in Jonquera? Are they in shape? Can you find some older ones there? (MILFs ;))

All sorts of sizes and shapes available at some time or another. Just a matter of what's on offer at the time you go there.

Mostly just average looks, but occasionally - a stunner.

I'm sure that if you tell one of the pimps/hustlers what you are looking for, they will find it for you for a modest fee.

**********************************************************

The area is in the block on the opposite side of Jonquera from the University of San Carlo. Bounded on the north side by Del Rosario and bounded to the south by the Wet Market.

If you plan to do-it-yourself, tell the taxi to take you to San Carlo Uni, then get out (avoiding pimps and hustlers) and walk east along Del Rosario until you come to a narrow street on your right off Del Rosario (opposite P Cui). There is a basketball court about 100m down that street - plenty of talent there.

The going rate is 500P short time and 1000P long time. If you get pimps,etc involved they will want a tip too.

I've only been there in daylight. Don't think I'd like to go there at night without a buddy or two.

Gentlemen
I am currently in Cebu, this is my first time here and I wanted to share my experience with you all, it will save you huge amounts of money.
I arrived here several days ago and started to explore the availability of women. I had in fact met a woman from the internet who arranged to stay with me at the hotel but that lasted a couple of days before I got bored and sent her on her way.
Anyway I was sat having a coffee near Mango Square one evening when I had the good fortune to bump into an American guy who has lived here for several years and what I learned from him proved to be more valuable than anything I have learnt before.
Firstly if you go to any of the numerous go go bars, expect to pay around 4000 pesos to take the girl back to your hotel. You will find nearly every taxi driver, security guard (they are everywhere) and street vagrant will be able to locate and bring young girls to you, anything from 18 to 25 years old. They normally ask between 1500 and 2000 pesos for the priviledge of
doing so and on the face of it this may seem like reasonable value. However all these people source their girls from mainly one location, it is called Honkera though I am not sure if this is the correct spelling.
Honkera is a down town area of cebu concentrated in one or two small thoroughfares. It is the epi centre of cheap girls in Cebu and they all cost 500 pesos for short time, this meaning about three hours.
The area is tightly controlled by the local Mafia, but I have never ever felt safer anywhere more than I did here. My friend told me it was very rare to get Westerners down in this area at night because frankly it looked very intimidating. I certainly would not have ventured there had it not be for my buddy.
The girls are controlled by three to four families and this is their first destination from places like Bohol, Mindaneau and the other islands before going on to Manila and other places. Most of the girls are fresh and spend their time here learning the trade.
My friend took me down there at about 2 am and it was abosolutley bustling with activity. It was hilarious watching taxi after taxi turn up and drivers getting the girls to parade so he could pick one up and charge some unsuspecting guy several thousand pesos for a minimal outlay. They pulled up and would collect two or three girls to take to customers so they can choose one from the taxi driver.
I picked an absolutely gorgeous young girl from Bohol, it was her first day there, she had arrived on the ferry that afternoon. I have to say that it was one of the most gf friendly experiences I have ever had in my life, with several sessions throughout the night and the morning. We spent all night cuddling and I kept her till lunch time, the total cost being 1000 pesos. This included everything, oral without, deep french kissing, DATY and anything else I wanted. It may have helped that the Papasan told her to make sure she gave a good service, but she was a happy, cheerful girl with a great attitude and I think the good service was always a certainty with her. She had the most captivating smile, I just melted when I first saw her.
Many taxi drivers will not be happy if you ask them to take you to Honkera, because it is costing them money, however insist that they take you and ignore their warnings about it being unsafe, they are just protecting their livelihoods, or rather their huge markups.
I just want to dedicate this report to my American friend, I only wish I had met him when I first arrived and if you happen by chance to read this, many many thanks!
