Makati

[Pickley]

Night 1.

Not even 3 hours in the PH and already bitches stole from me.

Talked to a street girl and ended up choosing her friend and went to her room at sogo. Her friend came into the room a few minutes after we went in and wanted to shower together. My gut told me something was wrong but I went with it. They distracted me while their TG friend went to steal from my wallet. I noticed the door was open to the room so rushed out. I grabbed the TG by the arm and pulled her back in. They only stole 2000. Nothing on her persons or in her purse. Next thing I know the mama San walks in and tries to diffuse the situation. Mamasan fake slaps TG in the face just hitting her hand. Then wants 1000 for her room. It's going nowhere so I pay and tell them to go. Other girl won't leave and wants me to pay her to fuck too. She is actually really hot so I paid her the 1500 I had left and had a 3 some. No kissing like promised. They ended up swapping cowgirl on me. Told me not to finish inside. Then when I kept telling her I was going to cum she wouldn't get off and kept fucking me till I came in her. She barely got irritated with me complaining I came in her. They just want more money but I had nothing left so didn't care. Showed them my wallet and left.

Lesson 1. Always lock the door.

Lesson 2. If the agreement changes, trust your gut.

Lesson 3. Never let your wallet or cell out of sight.

A negotiated 2000 for sex including room ended up costing 6500.2000 of which was stolen. In a way I feel like it was a cheap price to pay for the lesson. Not that I didn't know the advice to begin with.

I got a dating app girl I've been talking to for weeks coming tomorrow. She looks the part of a trashy girl but has been really sweet while chatting with me. It's like we're fake boyfriend / girlfriend. She said she didn't want money but wanted me to buy her some cosmetic stuff when I was overseas, which costed like $50 ish. No idea how this one will go.

Gents is there a FL bar anywhere in Makati?

New place has opened up to replace Rogues. It was named something Irish and was decorated accordingly. Went in there Saturday. It has a FL feel to it, was not a traditional Gogo, girls were asking if we wanted company, too early in night so didn't partake and not sure if there is fine in place.

In other news, sports bar next to Coyote is being refurbished again. Looks like it's becoming a gogo again.

All of Nautica girls are relocating to a new bar, wasn't clear if Nautica is moving as whole, but they are going to old Ringside building which is being refurbished presently. Opening party will be middle of April. Lollipop is moving from upstairs to downstairs where Nautica is currently located.

I was under the impression that Filling Station was the P. Burgos answer to LA Cafe in Ermita. Now I see I was mistaken. I'll be checking into Makati Palace tomorrow for a few days and was hoping to get a mix of P. Burgos bar girls and freelancers (definitely non-LB's please).

On the weekends you will see a line out front of FS (complete with chairs outside to rest on, as there is a wait to get in) and well-dressed Filipinos with family waiting to get in. The restaurant is on floors 2 and 3. Have never seen any pickup happening in this place, pre / post covid.

Pre-covid, the bar next door (Cubana Cafe), had an eclectic mix of customers: Foreigners having dinner, regular pinoy enjoying the live band, and hookers either hanging around waiting for a pickup, or alternately they could come in off the street and use the CR. Post covid, the guard keeps the working girls outside and away from the customers.

There are no FL bars on Burgos St. There are plenty of FL Street Walkers on the street just steps away from FS and CC (and sometimes more LB than ladies) on Burgos and Durban Streets. Other than those, there are the gogo bars previously mentioned: Maison, Lips (Badajos St), Dimples (faces Durban St at corner Burgos St), Neon Nights (upstairs), V-8, Coco Rock, Nautica and Lolipop. All gogos are on the same side of Burgos St (same side as Makati Palace), FS is across the street.

You will have to hit LA Cafe if you want to see a FL bar. Every lady who does not work for LAC (ie, bartenders, waitresses, cooks) is a FL there. Gents is there a FL bar anywhere in Makati?

Bit confusing. Filling Station is a 3-story restaurant on Burgos St (near Durban St), not a gogo bar, nor a FL place. There are no FL walking the street in front of FS (the guards don't allow it). The same people who run Cubana Cafe next door run FS (same menu). No FL also anymore inside (nor hanging outside) Cubana, sitting around waiting for customers (in addition, FL are not allowed into either establishment unless accompanied by a dinner-purchasing male customer).

Were you referring to street FL just up the street near the 7-11, or around the corner on Durban (Oxford Hotel), or across the street (bunch of trannies have the corner by Plan Bee)? The only FL on Burgos St are on the street. All other point/shoot ladies are in gogo bars. There are now several newer restaurants on Burgos St that are not part of the P4P trade. See my previous posts that have pics and descriptions of those places.

As of 2 days ago, the bottom rate was 2500 for fairly looking FL.

I picked one for 2000 but that was 3 am.

Went down to p burgos st the other day. Lots of ladyboys on the streets and touts trying to sell me viagara. Anyway, after checking out another bar and not being impressed (dimples?) I went to Maison. Had a really amazing time there. This one lady came up and started grinding on me pretty hardcore. She was only alright, in her thirties, and slightly chubby (not fat or anything but she had a big ass and she wasn't petite). Her tits weren't that big either. But she wasn't bad looking by any means. Anyway she is giving me one heck of a lap dance, and I have a weakness for women who are massaging my cock so I decided to buy her a lady drink. So the 350 I spent got me like a thirty minute lapdance. She was grabbing my cock, rubbing herself on me constantly, we made out, I had constant access to her pussy. I even got a finger inside her. That was money well spent.

Unfortunately they wanted 5 k for a barfine (they negotiated themselves down to 3900 on that one, I wasn't even interested and just gave them a flat no as opposed to a counter) + however much for the girl. Judging from how hard she worked for her two lady drinks I'd say she'd probably take 3 k or less.

Overall the vibe there was great. My drink was only like 120 or something like that. Lots of hotties.

I'll be arriving this coming weekend. As of now thinking of staying at City Garden inn or Hop Inn.

Would like some advice on the best place to stay that is guest friendly and close to the action also to pick up a cute Filipina.

Thanks in advance.

CG is 1 block from the action (or less, as there are SW just outside CG on Durban St), and is about p3000 ($60) per night. Hop Inn is an additional 5 minutes walk away, and around p2000 ($40) per night. All hotels in the area are again (post covid) guest friendly.

Cheap digs nearby: Coro hotel, Red Planet hotel, Citadel Inn, Bel-Air Soho, and Fersal Neptune.

Pinalove / Tinder doesn't seem to have that many attractive girls near Makati...

The trouble with Makati proper is that it's feast and famine: either lots of girls around during the party hours but very few during the rest of the day. A few come in to work the streets, a few come to work in the businesses in the immediate area but very few actually live there and are available 24/7.

Personally, I find staying nearby at Greenbelt much better. Many Airbnb's available and lots of girls working or shopping in the nearby malls. For those looking for plausible denial, invitations to a condo in GB are a lot more acceptable than meet in Burgos. It's also very easy for girls from outside to find.

Enjoy. G.

My second stay in Manila during this trip. I was stayed in Admiral Baysuites during my first stay but the place was infested with bugs and I left to return to Angeles City. This time around I decided to stay in the St. Giles hotel next to P Burgos. I like Makati as an area since you have plenty of good food options and the whole area has a bit of an American feel to it. But I digress, as the main point of this report is my experiences.

Girl 1: Cess5656 from Pinalove. Cess messages me first and we talk a bit on pinalove. I tell her I am looking for fun and we schedule some time together. I send her my whatsapp and she wants 4000 but I negotiate down to 3000. We agree to meet the next day and she comes over the the lobby of my hotel (St. Giles). I meet her in the lobby. She isn't as cute as her pictures but looks ok. I escort her straight to my room. We talk a bit, each shower and get into the action. She is open to everything but is a shitty kisser. Like I had to teach the girl how to properly kiss but she was open to the teasing. She is 32 years old, works as a financial analyst, has a 10 year old kid and lives in Makati. She has been doing this for a couple of years but as a whole is a rather straightforward girl. After sex, she cuddles next to me and takes a nap. It was kind of cute. I wake her up in a bit since she has to go to work and escort her downstairs where she gives me a kiss goodbye. Rather sweet. Personally, I wouldn't repeat since she isn't as attractive as I would like but she has a decent attitude and would recommend her to other members of this forum.

Girl 2: Quinn from Yonaguni Spa. Worst waste of money in my time as a monger. I was hoping to get a nice nuru massage with sex as I haven't had one since I was in Colombia a couple years back. Vietnam has some very good nuru massage places but they don't offer sex with similar issues in Brazil. Chatting with the operator on telegram led me to believe that girls were definitely open to sex. Prices seemed really good and I picked the package for 3700 pesos for an hour of nuru, hour of lingam and two additional hours of companionship. A deal that was in fact too good to be true. Initially I picked Bubbles but I was informed that she wouldn't show so I next picked Quinn. Quinn arrived an hour after the scheduled time as I was about to cancel. I let it slide as girls arriving late is nothing new in my experience. She checks in with the front desk and comes to my room. She is definitely heavier than her pictures and lies to me about not having a kid (obvious since her phone home screen is a picture of her kid). Though she does have decent tits. She seems friendly as she comes in and starts coming onto me, grabbing my arm and later my crotch through my shorts. She then starts the upsell process. Initially she says 15 thousand for full service on top of the massage price. This took me a minute to process. At first my brain though 15 hundred is reasonable and then I realized what she said and told her it is way too much. I negotiate her down to 8000 total for massage and sex (everything included) and we go into the shower. I start touching her around but she stops me when I try to kiss her and she tries to put a condom on me for BJ. I told her that she said anything goes but she said not those things. She also tells me the 8000 from earlier was only for one shot. I decided I am not paying for this and negotiated 3700 for the massage and 1000 for me being able to touch her anywhere. After the shower she starts a shitty nuru massage and gives me a "lingam" massage only on my balls. She starts playing on her phone and after I get sick of it I start messaging other girls on my phone. She asks if I want her to leave and I tell her to make me cum. She agrees to a handjob for 1000 more and eventually makes me cum. I tell her to take a shower and leave and pay her 5700 pesos for an hour of shitty massage, a shower, touching her body and a handjob. Money that would have been way better spent in just about any other way. I would have rather called Cess back over then have dealt with this shit. She leaves and I shut the door behind her. The lobby calls me to make sure I am good with her leaving and I tell them yes. Idk if other masseuses or massage services our better but I will not ever be using this service again in Manila.

Other observations:

Pinalove / Tinder doesn't seem to have that many attractive girls near Makati. There are a handful but I only seem to be getting replies from about 20% of the girls I find attractive. Plenty of messages from the less attractive girls though.

Scams seem to abound on pinalove and tinder. See attached pics. Both of these have my scam radar on high alert.

P Burgos bars are expensive and I didn't find the quality to be any better than Angeles City.

Freelancers seem to be a good option either on P. Burgos or from one of the nightclubs around the city. I never took a working girl from a freelance club / bar but if the off chance I do come back to Manila, I may use this option.

The hotels near P. Burgos all seem excellent, are close to everything you need, are girl-friendly and are at a low price. I would definitely recommend to anyone who visits.

I really don't think I will be coming back to Manila for mongering. I much prefer AC or even Subic. There isn't really anything to do in either of them but there isn't anything to do in Manila either. But even beyond that I prefer Latin America (GFE) and even Vietnam (low prices). I'll be heading to AC tomorrow and will stick around for a couple days to close out my time in the Philippines. Feel free to PM me if you want to meet up.

Hi Gents,

A few weeks ago, I requested advice via this forum in anticipation of an upcoming trip to Makati. I received some great responses and promised to provide a field report. True to my word, here is the report.

I ended up using the dating sites (primarily Date in Asia, aka DIA) while I was in town, and opted to avoid the bars on P. Burgos Street altogether. I will post a separate report on my experiences with DIA in the appropriate section of this forum. The bar scene, and the high cost associated with it, just did not appeal to me, but to each his own.

While I avoided the bars, I did obtain massages with extra service on P. Burgos Street on two occasions. Both experiences entailed one hour massages with BBBJ, each costing a total of PHP 3,000 (of which PHP 500 was the massage fee itself). I suspect I probably overpaid. Neither experience was anything to write home about. The first was a woman in her 30's who was friendly but nothing special. She worked out of an establishment on the west side of Burgos, on the section of the street that runs north of Kalayaan Avenue. The second was younger (25) and I met her while walking on the section of Burgos that runs south of Kalayaan Avenue. Both occasions involved taking an elevator or stairs up a few floors to rooms set up for massage, which only cloth partitions between the massage tables. Fortunately, I was the only client there both times.

Walking along Burgos Street (the portion going between Makati Ave and Kalayaan Ave), one encounters many massage girls, ladyboys, and men selling various things. There weren't many beauties among the massage girls, and some looked pretty rough. Some had hand-written cards containing their name and number, and were willing to come to the hotel for PHP 500 for one hour (with any extras costing extra of course). Personally, I would not have wanted any of those ladies in my hotel room.

I definitely would not recommend coming to Makati strictly for the on-street action on P. Burgos, but perhaps the bar scene is more fun for those who enjoy it. That said, I did enjoy the online dating experience, will I will cover in a separate post. This area of Makati felt safe (but keep your hand on your wallet) and there were lots of western food options available. This is a nice part of Metro Manila. It was great to get back to the Philippines again for the first time post-COVID.

Update on Dimples bar. They have a privado room. It is diagonally (catty-corner?) across from the entrance doorway. A visit there a few weeks ago the place was jumping. There were whales in the 2 corner booths (also diagonally across from each other) that are adjacent to the front door and the privado room. The whale in the booth directly across from the entrance kept 6 girls in his booth, regularly refreshing their drinks, no hanky panky.

In the other whale's booth, were 5-6 girls and another 6-7 standing in front of his booth, facing the booth. There was constant laughter going on inside the booth area, with the sitting girls clamoring all over the guy, playing with his Johnson both over his clothes and under. Poor fella. One of the mamas came over to chat with me. At one point, two of the whale's standing ladies left to head towards the bar or CR, creating a very visible gap to see booth-shenanigans-galore. The phat mama simply stepped away from me over to fill the gap, facing away from the booth as if not to disturb. She called for 2 new girls to come fill the gap. I noticed at least 2 dozen empty shot glasses on the table, with no bottle. Later there was another gap in the line of standing girls and the view inside revealed a lot of movement and shenanigans. I could see the girl to the whale's right, saying something in his ear. The girl past her, to her right in the booth (towards the outside), was climbing over the inner girl, going under the table, trying to get his pants unbuttoned.

Separately a white man and 2 young Koreans came in and took the private booth in the back. It is windowed from about 4' above the ground. If you stand up inside the main bar area, you can see anyone inside; if you are seated in the bar you can only see inside anyone who is standing up. Before they even sat down a mama pushed about 15 girls inside to form a line. Eventually they were all seated and drinks came. A bit later a mama brought 5-ish more gals. There seems to be plenty of room in the back for a serious shenanigans party if you like. I didn't see any shenanigans in the privado that evening. I am guessing you can pay a fee to the mama and have the privado, and some girl (s) inside, and the lights turned off. Its possible that there are curtains that might close from above also.

Lips update. Went in on a Saturday recently, downstairs. Lots of girls, few gents, rather dull. Went upstairs to a rockin' party going on. Several whales, similar shenanigans like Dimples. Lots of gents (about a 50-50 mix of whites and asians), lots of girls. Saturday evenings there are performances from spotlight dancers on the dance floor, rather nice. Plenty of lookers to keep your eyes busy. A girl walks about regularly trying to get you to play a game of Connect-4; if you lose the game she may suddenly expect you to buy her a drink (that old trick). Several pairs of girls walk the place trying to get lone punters like me to buy them a drink.

Nautica update. Went in on the same night as my Lips report above. An almost opposite vibe at the time: About 20 girls, mostly pretty, only myself and another guy (who came in with his asawa). Some pressure to buy LD, which I ignored. You know the girls are bored when: There are 3 girls assigned to the dance stage, where there are 2 large wall-to-floor mirrors. Two, three, or as many as 5 other girls, bored and sitting along the wall, head over to the dance area and practice dance moves in the mirrors (she never met a mirror she didn't like). I enjoyed the drink and oggled the girls and departed. If you are in the mood to barfine, its a great place to point-and-shoot: Few punters, and so many girls to choose from.
