As I've said, I've been to AC, and hated the constant smell of exhaust fumes. I can only imagine that Manila will be worse.

Yes, Manila is about ten times worse. At least. I hate it too.

Everyone's taste is different but if you can't find what you want online in Cebu perhaps retire and join the monks. 😁 Cebu has to be the online dating capital of PI.

Just the sort of post I was looking for. So you'd recommend Cebu?

Yep. Download and make an account on WeChat (or other similar) messaging app. In the app, find the 'Locate near me' function. It will locate people online in WeChat near you, starting with those closest to you at the moment (its shows distance from you in meters), and you can stipulate Male or Female only. Sometimes there are other users online just meters from you. Sometimes you don't need to contact anyone, others will contact you. So many girls looking to give a 'massage' or other. Can be like shooting fish in a barrel.

A few questions and commments:

Why are you going to a place and event that you don't enjoy for a family wedding yet your wife can get out of it? Presumably its family that is closer to her and you can just beg off and go when and where it better suits you.

Regarding your questions, I think very highly of my nephew, but I didn't choose the location. Had it been almost anywhere but PI, I would have booked my ticket by now. He is marrying a UK born half-Filipina. My wife doesn't like travelling except when she goes home. Age has caught up with her. Also, she doesn't like SEA.

I'm supposed to be attending a family wedding in Boracay in March. Not really looking forward to it.

BYO is not really an option for me, as someone in my family is bound to say something to my wife (who is not going).

My thoughts are that if I go, perhaps try Cebu where there appear to be shortage of prospects based on DIA, with a couple of nights abstinence in Boracay. Before going back to Cebu.

Any thoughts from yourself or others?

Is Boracay that devoid of talent?

Thanks for your reply. I was actually picking up on the comment about "BYO", in the post I was replying to. That suggests to me that it may indeed be devoid of talent. Then of course, there is the problem that that any talent scouting I might get involved in locally, is likely to reach the ears of my wife because of the family members in the vicinity.

My thinking was that if I did go, perhaps to have 2-4 days in Boracay, and spend the rest of the trip elsewhere. As I've said, I've been to AC, and hated the constant smell of exhaust fumes. I can only imagine that Manila will be worse. Again, my thinking is that there is no shortage of prospects on DIA in Cebu, and I was hoping that someone could either put me right about this. Or suggest an alternative.

Best wishes.

I'm supposed to be attending a family wedding in Boracay in March. Not really looking forward to it. Been to PI once before (Angeles and Subic) and hated the place, especially the smell of the exhausts from poorly tuned, Bikes, Trikes and other vehicles. It gave me some idea of what giving a BJ to an exhaust pipe must be like.

BYO is not really an option for me, as someone in my family is bound to say something to my wife (who is not going). I'm sure she knows what goes on with my trips to SEA, but as long as she doesn't have to talk about it, she appears happy to be ignorant. OTOH, if I go to the wedding, and I behave myself, she will not be happy when I tell her that I need a "proper holiday". I can imagine the convo now: But you've only just come back from the Philippines". I don't think it will go down too well if I tell her, "Yes, but it was not my 'usual' holiday". Hmmm?

Obviously flying in and out of Manila. Can't you arrive a few days before and leave a few days later to get some activities in. I'm sure there are some members of your "family" who would like you to stay a bit longer after the Wedding to say er help paint the house or something. Is Boracay that devoid of talent? Couldn't you just get the dates wrong when you booked. ?

[Dublin12]

I was persuaded to join local colleagues on a weekend holiday in Boracay. It's a beautiful place but you need a BYO.

In summary, Boracay is a paradise but not a monger's paradise. Or at least that was my experience. YMMV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fernando
One San Fernando is just a jeepeny ride from Fields / Dau / Pampanga. It is a major shopping hub. Find your own way to get there once / if you get to Pampanga. You are asking these interminable questions on Sabang and other places that do not belong here as the most one could get from 10 or so different folk is a general idea, not the specific crap you go on and on interminably about.
If you followed the google link or if, heaven forbid, you would know that Saint Fernando was a big wheel in Spain and therefore it is logical many places would be named in his honour, Here is a link on Saint Fernando, Ferdinand 111 of Castille https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_III_of_Castile You ask, in your supremacist way, why does the Philippines have to be so confusing. The Philippines is not the problem. Your ignorance and laziness are the problem.

Seems like you think you have the right to sit in judgement (in your supremacist way) and put crap on people as some sort of forum police or self appointed monitors.

Obviously you and others, namely Mr. E have nothing better to do than criticize and try to put down others.

Maybe you should get out of your narrow view. I mean Thailand and Philippines trips give you a very narrow view of the world. I don't know maybe these 3rd world countries and their thinking sits well with you and your views.

No one likes an arrogant P*ick.

Do an 'advanced search' in the Philippines forum and you will have more hits.

FWIW yes my search is a babes and beach place but closest I've come is Bali, Peurto Galera or Phuket. If anyone knows of other I will gladly pay for your advice.

I do virtually all of my hunting on dating sites. (I like Filipinacupid best) The number of girls who have "love to travel" in their profiles is TNTC (to numerous to count). GFE is almost guaranteed in my experience.

How long is your holiday and what is your definition of "nice beach"? For example, Malapasqua Island, Cebu has beautiful beaches, but not so good for snorkeling.

I've also flown women out of Manila and Cebu. In these cases I knew the ladies from earlier trips, so I knew I could trust them, they could carry on a conversation, and there would be some great loving. Nevertheless, this might be your best option for a Palawan trip. Have fun! X.

Wouldn't go back to Bali, Phuket (done too many times. Far too commercialized now) and PG well bang bang Sabang has now gone up to 4000 - prob go back one more time at Christmas but I am soon figuring out that it is probably not possible to find a good babes & beaches place in SEA. Not interested in taking one along. Too many maybes.

Also due to the way it is now and the way I am, finding true GFE is getting harder and harder throughout Asia. Prob put my airfares & accom into mongering at home. Prob better VFM.

Question? I am planning a trip for late July and early August. I would like to visit either Boracay or Alona beach. Does anyone know what the typical weather would be like for either places?

Recommendations for decent upper grade 3-4 star hotels would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

I recommend staying around station 2 if you really need to visit Boracay. It will be crowded because many bars are around this area. Don't visit station 1 because the main road is under construction until next year (as I am told by resort staff). I stayed at il mare Sakura for about $65/ night. Nice place. The only problem is the walk (2-3 minutes from water) where you need to pass the main road which is under construction (muddy after each rain shower). After my visit, I would not return until they have cleared up the construction (huge turnoff). If you can live with this, it is a very nice beach.

[Bleble]

Mongering wise, there is nothing. You can get a 2 HR massage for $20 (including 20% tip already) along the beach. Don't expect a happy ending. I guess you can go to bars and find girls at night, but it's not really a mongering option. There are many tourists even though this time of the year (June-October) is the low season. Supposedly there's humidity and heat plus rainy season, but I didn't see anything of that sort. Didn't really rain when I was there. No humidity. But I stayed on the beach 80-90% of the time.
