And next year 751 k more single moms on PL or PC or Tinder looking for a foreigner who will accept them and their kid.

That's a much better timeline than waiting for the kids to grow up.

No-Go Zones Episode 2.

Its about a place called Quirino and it states that this place is a 100% gang run area and that knife point hold ups are an every occurrence, I don't know how accurate that is. I have never been to this place nor would I want to go for a visit however there is one piece of information this video shed some light on a "New" area I was previously unaware of a few blocks away from that area. They name this area as a area where freelancers look for potential punters. Has anyone been out this way and is it really a red light district or a work of fiction? They look like they set up shop infront the the McDo that I have a street view of in the link down below. It looks like tis in front of the "Gateway Mall" is this a known freelance haunt?

The no-go zone in the amazon link is some distance from the McDonalds in the other link. The McDonalds is facing out onto Aurora Blvd. at the North edge of Gateway Mall. It is under the Araneta Center station on LRT2.

Quirino is actually four separate barangays in Quezon City, some distance east of Gateway and immediately north of the Anonas station on LRT2. Anonas station is the station to the east of Araneta Station, a kilometer or two away from Gateway.

I've actually been on foot in one of the Quirino barangays a few years ago. I made the connection after viewing part of the amazon video. I was directed there by Filipino friends to meet some folks in an office a few hundred meters from the Anonas station. A female student from one of the university belt schools in Manila City was sent with me to help translate. She was sort of an innocent type. No translation was necessary, as the Filipinos in the office spoke excellent English. Neither the student nor I had any sense of being in a dangerous area, so I'm a little surprised now after viewing part of the Amazon video. Since Quirino is actually four barangays, it's likely the gang activity is located a little further north from the LRT2 line.

I think the locals-only places RK refers to are just slightly east of Gateway, but not so far away as Quirino. I have heard about other locals-only places along Rodriguez Avenue in Quezon City west of EDSA, and the advice I got was similar to RK's report.

I have been in some locals-only places on the MacArthur Highway, just north of Monumento. There was definitely some take-out talent available, and since I was with a local who knew the owner, it was probably possible. But the one I wanted could not produce ID, and since she was young, I was not going to get caught with her in a hotel room. The string of take-out bars were recently demolished.

SHEET! They can't fucking feed themselves as it is! That's 751 k more fathers abandoning their kids.

And next year 751 k more single moms on PL or PC or Tinder looking for a foreigner who will accept them and their kid.

Look at it from the bright side for us. A nice future replenishment of available girls 18-19 years down the line.

The impacts of the pandemic will be felt for decades.

For me these additional 376,000 females will be coming online when I'm 80.

Holy crap:

"The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has said that the number of women expected to give birth this year could increase by 42% or 751,000 to reach a total of 2.6 million if mobility restrictions stay until the end of 2020."

Good catch SD. Blame it on WR.

Yes there is probably not much else to do. Although I wonder as many life in tiny living spaces with 6-7 people already. How do they have sex without the other housemates seeing it. Most of these children will suffer extreme poverty and go through hell probably.

........... Also, since today is October 1st, it now has been 45 years since the iconic Ali-Frazier boxing match took place, The Thrilla in Manila.

That was not very long after I started pursuing our hobby. I saw that fight on tv and started becoming interested in Philippine women. I found them so beautiful. The Philippine women now don't look as lovely as those I saw back then.

I've stayed in this area before. Its right near Araneta center. I wrote a post on a night I spent exploring the areae a year or so back. There are a bunch of girlie bars in the area to the east of Gateway Mall on aurora blvd and its side streets. So I could believe that there might be freelancers around, but I've never seen any that stood out.

This is a really busy area as there is a major bus station nearby.

There probably is a lot of crime in this area but I never saw any. My exposure was over the course of a 4 night stay in the area back in 2011 and my 1 night exploring at the end of 2019.

I would say, you could probably find some freelancers in the area, but you'd be I'm not sure that they would be high quality and you might spend quit a bit of time looking for them.

I have heard that the filipino nudie bars in the area are quite good, but a different experience than what you might be used to if your used to angeles or burgos.

If you can read some tagalog, you can learn more about the scene at manilatonight.

Also, I've never heard of this area referred to as Quirino, only as Cubao and sometimes Aurora.

That location is also close to the Vista Hotel, pretty nice place to stay in the area. Also, since today is October 1st, it now has been 45 years since the iconic Ali-Frazier boxing match took place, The Thrilla in Manila.

There are a bunch of girlie bars in the area to the east of Gateway Mall on aurora blvd and its side streets.

These are "pinoy-only" bars. All closed at present because of COVID-19.

I was taken out for an evening by my local "team" of 4 filipino guys from my office back in around 2006.

The guys warned me in advance that I would be the only foreigner in the bar but I would be OK as long as I stayed with them.

Cost me a fair bit because I ended up paying for the beers and the polutan.

We didn't buy any girls drinks. We decided that would be a more diplomatic strategy so as not to piss off the locals. We just watched the show.

It was an interesting night, but I can't say I enjoyed it.

No way would I go back there alone. I understand that some bars are still operating but currently closed. I haven't been to Gateway area for a long time.

I see these bars you are talking about maybe these freelancers try and catch some of the mongers before they get into the bars, thanks for confirming that there is some small redlight district situated here. I sometimes find some diamonds in the rough when off the beaten path but then again after you have been at this for a while the thrill of the hunt is sometimes more fun. I also oftentimes find that girls outside the main red light foreigner districts have lower expectations in general especially freelancers. They don't know yet how to fleece a foreigner, they haven't hit a whale yet, so even their wildest expectations are well below my budget. That's why I try and branch out to a different area every now and then.

Thats true. A lot of the girls that will work in these filipino bars won't have had much interaction with foreigners. But theres also a much higher probability that their english will not be up to par. Theres a reason they are not working in burgos. That's been my experience at least. From what I've read in the manila tonight forums, the girls working in these bars can get anywhere between 2 k to 5 k per pop depending on the girl. That's on top of paying for the onnsite VIP room that you need to fuck her in. Also from what I've read takeout is much less common in these filipino bars, and sex is more often on site.

There do seem to be some short time hotels near by one called "Clixs Hotel" that seem to cater to a redlight clientele. I'm always open to new mongering grounds if this is in fact an area where freelancers hang out.
