General Information

[Mdemde]

There are 4 categories of quarantine in the Philippines, ECQ, MECQ, GCQ and MGCQ with ECQ being the most severe and MGCQ being the least restrictive. Under ECQ most shops including malls have to close and taxis (including Grab Car) and bike-taxis are not allowed to operate. Under MECQ malls are allowed to open but taxis and Grab Car are not allowed to operate.

Cebu City was on.

ECQ from March 28 to May 31.

GCQ from June 1 to June 14.

ECQ from June 15 to July 15.

MECQ from July 16 to July 31.

GCQ from August 1 to at least August 15.

So, Cebu City is now in GCQ. Malls are allowed to open and taxis are allowed to operate. Traffic levels out on the roads and pedestrians out and about are now close to what they were prior to lockdown back in March, with every day getting busier and busier, though Sundays are still very quiet.

Ayala Mall in Cebu Business Park (not to be confused with the new Ayala Mall in the IT Park, which is called Ayala Central Bloc) and SM City Mall are both open though not all the shops are open, only about half of the shops and about a quarter of the restaurants and coffee shops are open, some offer take-out only, the others offer dine-in and take-out. All malls and most shops still require a temp. Check from their security guards before you are allowed in, as do the security guards at my condo.

The Metro and Rustans supermarkets at Ayala Mall in Cebu Business Park are only open until 6 pm, and the malls are closed at 7 pm and there is an overnight curfew from either 8 pm or 10 pm, I can't remember the start time!

Quarantine passes are still required if you go outdoors, these numbered passes are only valid on 3 days a week depending on the last digit of the code, but two sets of these numbered passes have been issued to the admin office at my condo in Cebu City for communal use meaning residents can go out every day. Up until yesterday Sundays were designated as 'stay at home days' but now people have been told that they can go out, but only to buy 'essentials' and they risk arrest if going out for 'leisure purposes'. Face-masks are still mandatory when out in public and inside the malls.

The Cebu Business Park in Cebu City is a private estate and since the lockdown they have positioned a checkpoint at all entry / exit points, and each checkpoint is manned by one guard. The only controls carried out are on pedestrians as they enter where they are stopped and the guard checks their temperature and asks you to show your quarantine pass. There are no checks at all on drivers and passengers on cars or motorbikes, it seems pointless to me to stop and check pedestrians but ignore vehicular traffic.

All bars, pubs, clubs and cinemas are still closed and have been closed since March, I have not seen any news about when they might be allowed to reopen.

All those under the age of 21 are still under house-arrest and are not allowed outside, they have been under house-arrest since March. I have a few regulars in the 18 to 20 age group that I have not seen for months as they are unable or unwilling to come out, but over the last month I have found 2 new girls via pinalove, one aged 18 and the other 19 who did take a chance and came out to meet me and I have plans to meet them again next week.

On August 4th the Cebu City govt reopened its borders, during lockdown the borders with Talisay City and Mandaue City were closed to all but health-workers, govt officials and essential workers who were required to provide stackloads of documentation and paperwork and passes before they were allowed to cross the border.

Now, in Lapu-Lapu, the City Council have authorised residents to carry out citizen arrests on anyone not wearing a face-mask in public! But at the same time they have made a provision that allows individuals to take off their face-masks in public and outside their residences for 15 minutes. This is to allow them to breathe more freely, drink water or eat food. A 'concerned' citizen can make an arrest after 15 minutes, I suspect there will be some nasty fights when 'concerned' citizens try to throw their weight around!

All taxis are required to use a roof-to-floor plastic barrier inside their taxis to shield the front passenger from the driver, all those I have seen have been cheap and tacky sheets of plastic sellotaped to the roof and to the floor with a cut-out hole in the centre covered by a flap for collecting the fare from the passenger.

I had to go to Chong Hua hospital a couple of weeks ago, they will not allow anyone in unless they are wearing a face-shield (as well as a face-mask), which can be bought from near-by pharmacies. And from 15 August face-shields as well as face-masks will be required in all of the Philippines for all passengers on planes, ships, trains and tricycles. Cyclists are 'encouraged' to use them but they will not be compulsory. I am not sure if they will be required in taxis.

Stupid Shit in the Philippines.

There was a proposed requirement that plastic barriers were to be used on all motorbikes to separate the driver from the pillion rider, I am not sure what the current position is, safety concerns were raised by motorbike manufacturers. There was also another proposal a few months ago that pillion riders be required to protect the rider from the virus by way of wearing covered shoes ie flip-flops would not be allowed, it was talked about for a few weeks but it seems to have been dropped.

It has been reported that Pres Duterte will not allow schools to re-open until there is a vaccine available, and he also recommends washing your hands and washing your face-mask in petrol (gasoline) because he believes it is a good disinfectant, I do hope people aren't stupid enough to try this!

I am outside Cebu city on the province and we went to MGCQ. More places are open and I had one of the best massages and happy endings I have ever had from a nice cute pina.

However while the beaches are open, they are limited to under 60 and since I am have 46 years experience being 18 I am still locked down.

I have several Cebu girls willing to come and a couple from Manila also willing to join me but with travel restrictions in place it will be a while before I can have live in pussy.

[Amadeuss]

I moved to Cebu City last year at the beginning of July,

It was your free decision. Why are you now surprised of the situation during troubled times?

Peoples discipline don't change quickly. And without discipline there won't be a stop of spreading the virus.

I posted this in the General Info of the main board but here I do also as Cebu.

While KG has less worries where he is Mdemde is truly stuck based on earlier FRs.

This from the Philstar and surprised me.

Cebu City is the only city now in the Philippines under ECQ (the strictest level). I moved to Cebu City last year at the beginning of July, so have been here for a year, but have spent about a quarter of my time here stuck under ECQ!

When Cebu City reverted back to ECQ on June 16, it was for a 2 week period which expired today and it is quite likely that it will be extended for another 2 weeks.

From www.sunstar.com.ph; .

"Thus the heavy betting is on a continued ECQ for at least another 15 days starting July 1. ".

Yes, regulars know that you're not a psycho and know the approximate size of rewards, so it's good to keep a list with the keepers. Problem is last year's regular may be preggy in province and pinoy BF not yet departed. I have lived in AC but Cebu is just a regular stop for me (or was before Covid).

Have not used the web sites such as PL DIA etc for years in Cebu (or anywhere but I like Cebu a lot) - just have referrals and regulars etc. They get preggy I let West Coast see them as he is the pervert LOL.

Cebuanas are very pretty and sexy IMHO is why I am there and not Manila.

[Pute Nut]

I've had pretty good luck when I'm actually in town. Of course, repeat business or referred friends are the most reliable and very rarely fail to deliver.

Enjoy. G.

Once arrived, all the promises made on previous chats go out the window, and you need to navigate this real-life web of issues.

All this was easier before IMO, now the cat's out of the bag and many girls are very cautious. But it's numbers game, and why not play it, rewards can still be great.

I'd agree that any pre work beyond "what's your number?" is essentially a waste of time. The girls have heard all the promises before. Hence, "I'm here now, let's meet after class" is far more productive than "let's meet next week / month / when I arrive. ".

This is one of the best descriptions I have seen on how it really works on the ground in Cebu.

I confirm, I had exactly the same difficulties in Cebu, transport, being far away, etc, etc.

Very difficult to get girls to meet you.

Was a big surprise for me, but I see that I am not the only one.

Everyone promise companionships and sex on chatting. Once you are in town various problems crop up. Major is lack of verifiable I. D. Most upscale hotels require police I. D. It is cheap to get but these dating site girls unless they are seasoned do not care to get one. Then there is money demand. They do not know the going rate and demand upwards of 10000 for couple of hours. Many have problems staying all night afraid of their parents. Next is traveling. Many live far and need to take a bus and they claim they do not have money and cannot borrow. I never send money. Some want to take taxi even though they took jeepney all their life. Depending on the girl and how badly I want her I say I will pay the taxi when she is at the hotel. Some want to bring aunt or friend along. I do not encourage this unless some of my previous providers bring along their friends. Now after navigating through all this minefield you will lucky to get couple out of 50 or so agreed to be with you.

On two occasions I had a scheduled girl show up at Jollybees with a friend who I was not forewarned about. Both times the "friend" was not even close to being doable even with a bag on her fat head. I believe they Just came along hoping for a free meal and I suspect both would have split after eating leaving me feeling stupid if I had fallen for their scam. I immediately sent the girl and her buddy away after a short lecture and with jeep fare. It happens.

I am a long time user of PL, particularly in Cebu with a plethora of dating girls willing and able usually just for the cost of a meal at Jollybees and taxi money. Now I, like so many others am stuck in my country perusing the dating site and it is amazing. The number of 18 to 27 year old girls is staggering, I have collected so many numbers that a revolving door would need daily greasing from babes coming and going. Of course I am not naive so I know most of those girls and numbers will be inactive by the time I get back to Phil, if ever. A few asked for money now but that is not going to happen, most girls never mentioned needing help. Many guys here will say I am wasting my time. Yeah probably so, but not much else to do with all my usual activities shut down. Man makes plans and God laughs.

Cebu is special because of availability of dating site girls for sex. Everyone promise companionships and sex on chatting. Once you are in town various problems crop up.

My solution is chat and see the girl on cam. Get to know her, see her body, agree on compensation, do not make promises of more than one night together.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Not that I would know 😉 but if it gets too hard to manage, Freelancer.com is available for oursourcing converting all those meaningless chats into vcf Contact lists for a very reasonable fee.

Most will fall by the wayside but you will then have 100's of numbers at the ready when you do arrive all anoted for location, special abilities etc.

Automated mongering on an industrial scale. 😁.
