OMG, 20mins away!? Its sad to hear that. BTW, if I were to take a cab? Whats the names for those 'action' place should i tell to the cab?

Tell the cab driver to take you to ... higher end bars for better quality than the cheap Silver Dollar bar and the bars along Maxilliom St.

Try this, as i have found these 3 places to be the best for me. They may be a bit more expensive than other places, but you get quality and not junk.

1. HAREM - look at the aquarium full of supposedly young girls, vip room the girl of your choice and make an arrangement to take her out after work or let her come to your hotel next day for a quality banging!

2. ARENA - same procedure as with Harem, great selction of pretty girls, there may also be a bar fine but may be expensive, better to deal with the girl of your choice directly and meet her after work or next day to be less expensive. You may also bang the girl inside the vip room.

3. JAGUAR - huge selection of girls to choose from, bar fine or negotiate to take her home after work or see her next day or bang her inside the vip room.

Hey Tylenol,
I receive an error message when I try to PM you. I think if you are a regular member and don't have a paid subscription, you do not have PM access.

If you are able to send me a PM with the pharmacy name please do so, I'd like buy some C (or V) on my next visit to Cebu.

Thanks,
CS

I was in Cebu last week with my Gf. The local word is typhoon is just an excuse to postphone the asean summit. Locals say there was credible info about terrorist threat to which the police were not prepared.
I stayed at ALTA RESORT which is the only place I could find through last minute booking. Nice resort which has a school teaching english to korean and japanese people. Everybody was really friendly. But the place is far away from any mongering place. It is monger friendly with strict security. So if you have a GF staying with you it is not a bad place.

I don't know where that is, but if it's in Cebu, who cares where it is. Taxi's use their meter and it's pretty cheap. It's not like Angeles, where most of the late night transportation might have to be triked and in other words expensive for the ride. You want to go somewhere in particular, take a taxi.

The Marco Polo has a great view of the City from Its Hilltop location But you are at least 20 Minutes away from the Action Areas.There are no nearby Places,Enjoy your view.

Hey Tylenol,

Where have you scored Cialis at a pharmacy in Cebu without perscription?

I'd like to try C or V out just to see if it has any effect (don't "need" it yet, but want to see if it adds anything to the fun).

I was approached by many street hawkers when I was last in Manila, but just don't trust that the stuff they have is legit (despite the impressive packaging materials).

You can PM me if you prefer, or just post here.

Thanks,

CS

Pals,

I got online here at 05:00AM Saturday monring west coast US time. Had a message waiting for me from my daughter's mother on Leyte telling me that a "terrible typhoon" hit. All electricity is off.

I had tried unsuccessfully for an hour to contact three ladies I know, one near Ormoc City and two in Cebu. Could not connect with their cellphones. I did reach my son's mother early, last night before I fell asleep (have not beaten the jetlag yet). She reported no trouble then.

I have my "cebu baby" in northern cebu island online now. She said that there is not as bad as Cebu City but it has been raining all day long. I arrive in Cebu either the last week in December (before New Year's Eve in Davao) or first week in January, depending on whether or not I meet my lovely chinadoll in Shenzhen, so China this trip.

I am going to book my Hotle in Cebu now for the first week in January just in case the ASEAN ends up there then. With Sinulog the last part of January in Cebu, they have to schedule it earlier.

CEBU will have to wait till early January to host the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit as organizers announced a last-minute postponement due to a coming typhoon.

The summit will be reset to a date before the Jan. 15 Sinulog festival.

No announcement was made yet, however, on whether classes would resume or a Dec. 11-14 holiday for government workers in Cebu would be lifted.

“This is a most agonizing decision to make,” said Ambassador Marciano Paynor Jr., acknowledging months of rushed preparations for Cebu’s hosting duties. “As painful as the decision is, we have to do it.”

Although typhoon Seniang is forecast to affect north Cebu when it hits land today, Paynor said the decision by the National Organizing Committee (NOC) of which he is secretary general recognized that “ the primary responsibility of the host is the safety of its guests.”

He said they have recommended rescheduling the summit to the first week of January but the final date still has to be agreed upon by state leaders of the 10-member ASEAN.

This is the first time an ASEAN Summit has been postponed due to a weather disturbance, he told a news conference.

Time to perfect

A somber Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia said she knew many Cebuanos were “preparing feverishly for the summit” which would have started with a dinner for 16 state leaders on Sunday, Dec. 10, at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

But the delay “just gives us even more time to perfect what we were supposed to present.”

The decision to postpone the ASEAN Summit came amid warnings by the U.S., Britain and Australia that terrorists might be in the final stages of planning an attack during the summits in Cebu, and a weather forecaster said he had advised officials that they could go ahead with the meetings.

But Paynor denied that terror warnings played any role in the decision.

“Categorically I will state that the decision was based on this weather disturbance and this weather disturbance only,” Paynor told a news conference, adding there was a 70 percent chance that the storm, upgraded to a typhoon late Friday, would hit Cebu province.

He said officials considered delaying the summit for a few days, and even moving the venue to Manila, along with a number of other alternatives, before deciding on postponement. No new dates were immediately announced.

Less than an hour before the announcement, Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo in a news conference in the same CICC venue was upbeat and saying the summit in Cebu would push through despite the storm reports, like “the Red Sea parting.”

Paynor said Philippine hosts reached the decision with “inputs” from other countries and the feedback that “their leaders would not feel comfortable sitting in a summit while there is devastation going on.”

He was referring to severe typhoon damage as experienced during Milenyo and Reming.

“We have to allow the President to be on top of things,” said Paynor since the typhoon would affect other areas.

“If for instance by whatever way we were able to bring the leaders here and the typhoon be ignored, and we have a devastation of the kind that hit us weeks ago, the sense of many of those who are now meeting are saying their own leaders will feeling uncomfortable that they are having a summit while devastation is going on.”

Paynor said officials wanted the Philippines “to have full undivided attention to address problems that might arise out of this weather disturbance.”

Meanwhile, Cebu meetings of ASEAN government ministers and senior officials scheduled until Sunday would continue, Ambassador Victoriano Lecaros said. He said all the ministers of ASEAN-member countries as well as the dialogue partners are already here in the Philippines.

Two Asian summits were scheduled in Cebu next week, if not for the typhoon bearing down on the meeting site. The ASEAN Summit was scheduled Monday and Tuesday, followed by the second East Asia summit on Wednesday.

Prisco Nilo, acting chief of the Philippine weather bureau, said he was contacted by the government for advice.

“Our recommendation is to go ahead with the summit,” Nilo told The Associated Press. “Cebu city will still be affected, but the movement of the storm is to the north of Cebu, and it will be traveling fast. By Dec. 11 it will be over the South China Sea.”

Typhoon Seniang is expected to hit Cebu over the weekend, when Asian leaders would be flying in, Paynor said. Domingo Lucinario, a member of the Philippine government’s organizing committee, said discussions by foreign ministers and other officials would continue as planned over the weekend because those people had already arrived.

Seniang is expected to make landfall over Samar island Saturday afternoon and cross Masbate island, about 170 kilometers north of Cebu on Sunday morning, the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center said.

The Philippine weather bureau said the storm was packing sustained winds of up to 85 kph and gusts of 100 kph on Friday afternoon.
