Thanks for your input bbjohn,

I'm not into diving, more into swimming and hanging out on nice beach. Maybe someone with Cebu knowledge will come back.

I've been 5 times in Sabang Beach Puerto Galera. It is a very nice place with some go-go bars. But I would say that it's mainly place for diving with some very nice evening activity :o)

But if diving is not your thing there has to be better places to stay. Sabang does not have very nice beach and supply of girls is limited due to size of place.
Don't get me wrong, I love the place but that's because I love diving and that is easy there. Go-go bars are nice plus for the PG but just for the beach vacation I would try to find some other place, perhaps go more south to Cebu.

I have not been anywhere else in Phil so don't know if I'm right or not.

Hello, first time poster, long time reader.

I, m finally getting away from canada and will be on a chill out vacation in Phills. I am a seasoned traveller, many times to Thailand, south america etc.

I think I will enjoy phills because I like the small asian chicks and they speak english. I don't think I would like Angles city and that scene, something like a tacky Pataya I, m imagining.

I want a laid back place to rent a beach bungalow, nice beach, some kool resturants, bars within walking distance. And I want to get laid everyday or second day by a little stunner.

Is Puorto Galera the place?

I would appreciate some input and thank you in advance.

Hello Wanderer,

Thank you for posting a fine report, as you promised.
You have answered many questions for me but I have one more:
How was the diving?

After I got her to shave her bush the muff diving was great. Just in case you referred to scuba:-

This was my first diving trip to Sabang and I will definitely return. I took 12 dives over 4 days and cannot say I had a bad one. At times the currents were fierce, not for the faint hearted. In general vis was fine - around 15M, water warm and the beauty of the place is the number of class dive sites that can be reached in 20/30 minutes from Sabang. Also recommend a trip out to the Verdy Islands for a great drift / wall dive.

All in all, if you want to F*ck at night, dive during the day and put little effort in to obtaining either then there are not many destinations that can compete.

Well. An inquiring mind wants to know has anyone ever done the mongering scene in Baguio and if so what bars are the best ones to go too. Baguio being a college town I would think maybe a few good bars there to bf a lady. Anyone have any experience there?

Arrived in Sabang following two days in Manila. Fast Eddie 48 had previously advised in an earlier contribution that “if you want p4p you should just stay in Manila or go to Angeles”. So I had some concerns about the availability of company in Sabang, especially as I had hit on a particularly good BG in Manila and was very tempted to bring her down to PG. Let me make this clear, do not take Fast Eddies word; there is no need to bring your own to Sabang.

There are a number of Discos (a local euphemism for a go-go) in town. From my count, there were 6: Broadway, Pink Panther, Sunset, Sabang, Village and Centrum but I may have missed the odd one. General background follows at the end, so in no particular order some specific background on the Discos I visited:

Broadway:- The biggest and most professional run go-go town. Around +60 BGs, personally I found this to be the busiest spot in town and consequently had a higher guest to girl ratio. The approach here was generally through the five or so Mammas or the Papa. The Papa is an odd-looking fella with bleached blond hair. They do push the girls here, no such thing as a quiet drink but they tried to match up guests requests as far as I could see. Had a great laugh here with a BG and Head Mamma.

Incidentally, the Mammas in Broadway are collectively a frightening sight – they look like the Samoan forward pack.

Prices: Bar fine/LT was Peso1000/1000, plus no doubt a tip for good performance. Drinks, well not sure of the individual prices but four Lady drinks and two San Miguel came to 1000 peso

Pink Panther:- Don’t bother

Sunset Disco:- Smaller than most bars with around 25BGs. An odd feature was the Christmas decorations; including a fully lit Christmas tree in one corner…….I did not ask why.

Here the girls approached the punter and the Mamas seemed to stay in the background. An ugly woman decided I was going to be her meal ticket for the night. She either had a huge zit on her nose or a rather ugly stud; it was too dark to tell. There were some lookers but something about the place did not hit with me so moved on.

Prices: Bar fine/LT was Peso1000/1000. Drinks, a Lady drink cost me P230 and a SMG was P60.

Village Disco:- Was an OK Place nothing special, maybe 45 BGs cannot recall prices and did not note at the time I am afraid, apologies.

Sabang Disco:- My personal favourite of the lot, for no other reason than I had a good laugh with some of the BGs and found the bunch I spoke to great fun. Also had a good laugh with the head Mama, who the girls seemed to like greatly.

I would say there were 60 girls, some great some……not. Found a stunner here, 20 years old but now back in Manila. A beautiful girl in almost every respect, sadly a bad case of Farmer feet. She could have made better money as an extra in lord of the rings as a body part double for a Hobbit’s foot than as a BG. Still feet have never been one of my things and it did not spoil the arrangement for me. Spent a couple of days with her, When I got back from diving around 4:00pm I’d call her, she would be with me in ten minutes and stopped until 8:30 next day when I went off to dive. She told me that she was new to the game, I normally take this with a pinch of salt but in this instance she seemed too sweet to have been around for a while. Never pestered me for drinks and was very happy with P500 tip on top of the payment to the bar.

Prices: usual 1000/1000 but I did like the pay the girl later option if required. Drinks were LD200 SMG 60

General Info:-

A map of Sabang is attached showing the general lay out and locations mentioned. I hope it is big enough to view.

In the Discos there are dancers who unenthusiastically wander around the stage and do some pole work, they also like to do the splits .....a lot, I found they were available. Generally the bar girls will also do a “dance” or two between the dancer’s sets. This is important as you get the chance to have a good look at the goods and pick best!

As ever, people and places change. I can only advise my personal impressions and experiences as at end Sept 2007. The BGs are paid monthly on the first of the month and the ones who are going to leave go on the second of the month. I would assume this would mean there are fewer BGs around early in the month but am not sure if this makes a material difference as there seemed plenty to go around.

Other information:-

Eddies, a bar off the beach, has good food and drinks were ridiculously inexpensive SMG P45 - Coke P25.

Big Apple, Food not as good as Eddies (IMHO) but OK and great service, they have two pool tables and from my observation a small number of BGs/FL in there, though I do not know which.

Broadway also have a bar (with two pool tables), the disco is through a door at the back.

There was no floating bar when I was there.

Tropicana good pizza, cannot remember the cost.

Jeepney to PG from Sabang P15

Take cash with you, credit cards can be used in hotels the rest you pay for the old fashoned way and there is no ATM. I was very pleasantly surprised at how little cash I used.

[SlimHoleDrill]

There are a few Freelancers in the Big Apple bar. I was staying in the hotel behind the bar and Christine picked me up. Freelancers also go there after the bars close.

I was also approached by 2 girls when I was getting my hair cut. I declined but saw them in a disco later that night.

The distinction between free lancers and bar girls is pretty blurry until you actually find them in the bar. I think the scene is pretty awsome. Price/quality is great. Good quality low price. Also, for better or worse, these are true GFE. They can get pretty mad if you are a butterfly. And it is a small place.

IMHO.

I was thinking of going out there for some White Water Rafting. Has anyone been out there yet to do the same?
Do you recommend a guide for white water rafting?
Do you have a place to stay you can recommend?
Is there any P4P action, even if the quality is not that good? .

There are a few reports on CDO posted this year by several respected members of this forum.
Seek and ye shall find !!!!!!!!!

Good question. I went straight to the beach and didn't explore the city. I'd say just ask a taxi driver or other male local.

From Tagbilaran, you can get to Dumaguete in about 90 min on the Ocean Jet ferry. There is diving there (Apo island) and I remember somone saying you can get p4p just out of town. Don't stay at Bethel guest house if you plan on playing.

Hi,

I am going to Tagbilaran City and Panglao Island for Scuba diving at Xmas. I am taking my gf but she is happy for us to meet other girls.

Anyone got any updated information on bars, clubs, malls or other places to meet girls in Tagbilaran City or on Panglao Island?

Good you mentioned Sabang Beach. If you are going for the mongering this is the place to stay. I remember the Apple, Braodway, and Sunset Disco. No freelances when I was there. Typical barfine setup.

Hi,

Has anyone else been there?

It's suppose to be a nice area if you like surfing and pretty girls.

I searched all the threads but can't find any info.

Have you seen the movie "Apocalypse Now" The helicopter scene with the Wagner music and Robert
Duvall " I love the smell of Naplam in the morning" This was the main beach at Baler in 1976 when the film was shot.

I have never been but you can find chicks everywhere in PI.

Go and write a report
