Just spent a coupe of days at Sabang. I was suprised on the number of birds in the 6-8 bars, plenty of youngies and most numbers of birds I have seen smoking ever. Please sit now down if standing. Bar Fines are 3000P. 1500 to bird. 1500 to bar. Only got 1 bird whilst there and she had the hide to ask to go home early after first root. I told if she goes it will be in a pine box (coffin). Bloody hell.

Yeah, I was going to write a report to the same effect. The good news is that the quality and quantity is really high. The bad news is they raised the prices. It used to be 1000 +1000 but as you say, now it is 1500 +1500. I thought they were just trying to rip off a newbie so I started to argue telling them I knew the score, but that was it. Every bar, same deal. That is a 50% hike! I guess they must have all joined the pussy union or something.

Still it is a great combination for diving and extra curricular activity. There was a new bar since the last time I was there (I think) , Coco Lips or something like that, which had some nice ones. The blond fat papasan in the upstairs place (Hammerhead?) was not around, thank god. I hate to see a papasan beg for drinks.

I've only visited Bacolod once, in 2010. Perhaps S A88's viewpoint is more accurate, and maybe I just got lucky. First two days I stayed at the Palmas del Mar resort. My assessment mirrors S A's. Decent, but not great. I went to Gaisano Mall, where I became aware that I was being followed at a distance by an attractive women of about 30 yrs old. Other than her, none of the attentiveness that's normal in the large city malls of Cebu, or Manila. Outside, waiting for a taxi, I saw her come out and give me a welcoming smile."Want to join me?" I asked. She assented and soon we were back at the resort, stripping down and her mouth was engaged in exploring my dick. She stayed overnight and seemed quite pleased with the 1000 pesos I gave her. Next day I put in a serious scouting effort at SM Mall. Lots of good looking girls, but none that looked readily available.

I moved to the casino hotel at Goldenfields where their promo rate of 1400 pesos for a deluxe room was a real bargain for a good room and a surprisingly deserted swimming pool. That evening I cruised around the bar complex nearby, but perhaps too early, as they all looked to be almost empty. Earlier, on the street a mamasan had given me the "You like a girl?" offer. Later after seeing no other ready options, I talked again to the mamasan, negotiating a price of 1000 pesos LT, IF she could come up with a slim, good-looking girl. Off she went, soon returning with three attractive options. I chose Jennifer, with the lovely lips and and engaging smile. Good choice, as I was expecting the breasts to disappear with the bra. Instead, she displayed a lovely set of C cups with projecting hard nipples. Young moms can be stacked. Miss Sexy really got into it. Dripping wet pussy and lots of "Oh shit, oh fuck, yes, yes fuck!" I offered her 1000 per day to stay and she readily agreed.

All told, I stayed in Bacolod for five days and it would seem, my experience was beyond the norm. For that, I am grateful.

Been in and out of Bacolod for about four months now, haven't done all that much mongering but I thought I'd report for those who might be headed this way.

Primary spot in town for all things monger is Goldenfields' complex. In one of the most bizarre configurations of business zoning I have experienced, this area encompassing several blocks at the south of town includes a family waterpark, bowling alley, some regular restaurants and bars, a casino-hotel, some regular hotels, and about 15 or so girlie bars. There's a couple massage / spa / salon places there too. I took the GF's family including about seven kids to the bowling alley a couple weeks ago. The fact that I was fucking a gogo dancer across the street a few months back sort of made me laugh / think WTF. Oh well. It's the Philippines. Don't expect shit to make sense here.

MO2 is a popular karaoke bar located in Goldenfields and it's a good place to take your GF and her posse of family or friends if that's your thing.

The skinny: Girls at the Goldenfield's bars are ridiculously expensive. I was told 3000 to the, bar 1500 for the girl. Most bars have a two drink minimum, drinks are 50 pesos whether san mig, juice, water, and there is a floor show with women of various attractiveness in varying states of undress. Lady drinks are insanely high. 300 to 500 pesos or more, be careful.

The floorshows can be quite fun if odd, I've seen a fat sad 5 wiggle around fully clothed and within 15 minutes same bar a memorable 9 humping the dancefloor naked. The bars are different enough to merit walking in to a couple until you find one you like.

Yes crazy expensive barfine and LD prices around Goldenfields. Most expats just sip a SML and get a number and hookup with the girl the next day. There is a three-tier price system around the complex. Visiting foreigner- pays crazy inflated prices. Local expat foreigner- reduced inflated prices. Locals pay the local rate since they are the ones keeping those bars open and making money not foreigners.

Also to do:

There are a couple of all-night massage parlors on (I think) 6th street across from the lagoon park. You have to go down the street a little they're on the north side, just a couple of place that say 24 hour thai massage or some shit like that. I didn't partake as I was with the GF, but we both laughed when we went in and then quickly out looking for a legit massage. The girls were VERY pretty, sadly I can't say what was on offer as I didn't partake.

The Capitol Park and Lagoon located on Lacson street is a nice place to walk around and feed the fresh water tilapia some puffed rice. If you pass by late at night you can see guys working hard to net the tilapia. The fish are trucked a few blocks away to the Negros jail to feed the inmates.

As far as I can tell, there is NO streetwalker action, some have suggested that there are SW's in front of the cathedral, if so I have failed to detect them day or night in several visits.

Also, in many visits to the three malls here, Gaisano, SM, and Robinson, I have not seen ANY semi-pro's, I go often enough alone looking without the GF that I can say there is NOTHING here like malls in Cebu, or I am blind.

Correct no streetwalker action in Bacolod. Reports of some around the downtown area were not reliable IMO. There is no semi-pro action in any mall around Bacolod. You are not blind. You will get plenty of looks but it's pure curiosity and if you approach a few women and try to talk to them most will giggle but be so shy they will walk away.

I posted some observations and advice on Bacolod 6 months ago. Link below.

Summary: there is really no reason to go to Bacolod for sex, but if you happen to be stopping by here on the way to Sipalay or something, there are plenty of eager albeit expensive women in the bars in Goldenfield's for the night. Also, you can pick up a hottie for a take-along travel no problem, beware the mama-san though, if you want to travel with a girl don't take her out, meet her the next day. Many are poor provincal girls that would love to fuck and travel for just the experience and some reasonable pesos. The reason the prices here are insane are the barfines not the girls. A lot of single moms here and in all the phils from what I've seen, very sad. Fucking stupid ass Catholics. On the other hand if bareback is your thing, you're in heaven. Until you get an STD.

[Cool Traveler]

I agree. I met an English guy in Bohol a few months ago. He just recently retired, rented a house for 1 year and learned to Scuba dive. His plan was to live there for a year and then decide what to do. His thinking that a year was enough to see the good weather and bad, the high season and the low, etc. I will catch up with him later in the year and see what he learned.

Have anyone thought about Kota Kinabalu (KK). The flight from Manila / Clark is very cheap to make short jaunts to Phils. The weather is much better, a little bit more expensive, but definitely a little bit more upscale. Much more safer. In fact safer than living in Los Angeles. The thing is, if you are looking for mongering activities, there is little to none. But definitely you can fly your honey in for short stays from the Phils. It is very quiet and laid back. And you have all the technology you would ever need. Just a suggestion.

Just spent a coupe of days at Sabang. I was suprised on the number of birds in the 6-8 bars, plenty of youngies and most numbers of birds I have seen smoking ever. Please sit now down if standing. Bar Fines are 3000P. 1500 to bird. 1500 to bar. Only got 1 bird whilst there and she had the hide to ask to go home early after first root. I told if she goes it will be in a pine box (coffin). Bloody hell.

[Snow Koala]

Stroker is spot on with his assessment.

I lived in Nthn Luzon on the eastern side for 6 months in 2005 while I was in between assignments and while I was negotiating to buy my condo in Manila. At that time the internet was not as accessible as it is today and so I travelled in to the major city each day to an internet cafe where I could wire in my laptop and do my work negotiation for an hour or so each day.

The rest of the time I went crazy for something to do. Read 100s of books. Installed a cable TV dish on the roof. Wandered for miles around the fields. And, most importantly, sat through a huge typhoon that came through at one time and ripped every leaf off the trees around our house.

There is no way I could live there (yet). I am too interested in travel; I need (and want) to keep working. I suggest for those who want to settle in a place like KEJ describes go there for a few months in the "off" (typhoon and rain season as Stroker says) and certainly long enough for the "novelty" of living amongst such wonderful people to wear off and then see how you still feel after that.

If you are seriously considering retiring in Luzon I suggest you visit and spend serious time there during the rainy season, roughly July to November when heavy rain and typhoons are common. They hit Luzon hard. Flooding and power outages that last days are the norm in some sections of Luzon.

The Philippines is now into the Summer season with mostly nice hot dry weather. Visit when a typhoon hits Luzon and then decide if it's a place you can retire in.

You also commented about the lack of foreigners and things to do. Most guys who retire in Luzon live around the Subic-AC area for just that reason. Only the guys who marry a woman from the Province choose to locate themselves that far away from civilization and most go stir crazy after a few years with only a select handful of other foreigners to talk with (if you are lucky) and nothing to do all day but sit around and watch the buko grow. Unless that's exactly what you are looking for.

[Makeupaname]

Thanks for the great report joe. I plan to retire the same area, but still have about 10 years to go. Warm rain doesn't bother me.

Near by beach, a sweet filipina, and semi regular internet access is all I need.

Nothing to do all day but sit around and watch the buko grow. Unless that's exactly what you are looking for.

I recently spent 16 days in northwest Luzon. I'm considering the Phils as a potential place to retire at the end of the year, so toured around Pangasinan, La Union, Zambales, and Benguet provinces in search of the perfect locality. I can't say I found paradise, but I decided that San Fernando, La Union is a pretty good place to start. It's a medium-sized city with nice beaches, low prices for housing, decent shopping, close to Baguio and its temperate climate, and only a 6 hour bus ride from Manila.

I used Dagupan, Pangasinan for my base of operations and spent 9 nights there. Westerners are very rare in that city and I received lots of stares everywhere I went. People were very friendly when I made the effort to initiate dialogue with them. I was looking for the "real Philippines" on this trip and wanted to stay away from cities with a large western presence. Dagupan has nothing interesting for a tourist, but I found it a suitable place to be as I traveled by bus during the day.

Unfortunately, I found it's tough but not impossible to find paid companionship in Dagupan. [SNIP]

Dagupan has very little nightlife. By 9 pm the city streets are pretty devoid of traffic and I only saw three music clubs in town. The Quattro bar on Del Pilar near the Dunkin Donuts, Padi's Point located on A. B Fernandez near the Mercury Drug, and the Music Warehouse on Perez Blvd. [SNIP]

I was getting tired of Dagupan so two days later I left and checked in at the Covelandia Resort. [SNIP]

In retrospect, I was certainly surprised to find such a place out in the middle of nowhere. I guess you never know when opportunity will knock on your door.

KEJ,

Excellent report Joe.

I was looking for the "real Philippines" on this trip and wanted to stay away from cities with a large western presence. Dagupan has nothing interesting for a tourist, but I found it a suitable place to be as I traveled by bus during the day.

Unfortunately, I found it's tough but not impossible to find paid companionship in Dagupan. I was fortunate in meeting a local 28 year old lady by chance at a Jollibee and we hit it off really well and she took good care of me in all ways. But she couldn't be with me every night due to having to take care of her children, so I was on my own a few nights.

Dagupan has very little nightlife. By 9 pm the city streets are pretty devoid of traffic and I only saw three music clubs in town. The Quattro bar on Del Pilar near the Dunkin Donuts, Padi's Point located on A. B Fernandez near the Mercury Drug, and the Music Warehouse on Perez Blvd.

I only saw a couple of KTVs, which were located north of the Nepo Mall on Del Pilar road which heads north toward San Fabian. I struck up a conversation with a local guy who told me there is only one girlie club in town, called the "808". Apparently it is located over near the Music Warehouse club, but I never checked it out.

I stayed at the Luxor Hotel, located about 200 yards from the Nepo Mall. 875 pesos a night for a somewhat spartan room with a double bed, but it was clean, had a lot of TV channels, fast internet and cold air conditioning. There are a handful of trike drivers which hang out along the main road in front of the hotel. One night, one of the drivers asked if I was looking for a girl. I told him maybe, and asked what the price would be. He said he could bring me a pretty college student for 2500 pesos. Normally I might have pursued the matter, but I had no need for paid companionship while there so I declined to negotiate.

One day I took the bus to the city of Alaminos, located in Western Pangasinan. Its claim to fame is that the Hundred Islands National Park is nearby and I highly recommend spending a day there cruising around on a small pump boat. It cost 1800 pesos a day to rent the boat and captain, but I made friends with a Filipino family who was waiting to board a boat and I split the cost with them. A very enjoyable day.

On the way back to Dagupan, the bus passed by a series of beach resorts between the municipalities of Sual and Labrador. The best of these is Covelandia, which has a nice pool, water slide, large restaurant and bar area, and nicely landscaped grounds. Overpriced at 3500 pesos per night. But there are other smaller beachside resorts that I checked out that cost anywhere between 600 and 1500 pesos per night. The surf is pretty high so it's not a great place for swimming. In fact, it appeared pretty darned dangerous to me.

The reason I bring this area up is that after passing these resorts, the bus stopped at a lonely bus stop out in the middle of nowhere and picked up a man and woman. They took a seat near mine and after a few minutes we started talking. The woman's name was Stephanie, a reasonably attractive 40-ish gal, and I was shocked to find out she was Brazilian. Apparently she had married a Pinoy 20 years ago but he died 12 years ago. She decided to stay in the Phils and became a business owner. She is the proprietor of an establishment called the "Chateau Europe Bistro", housed in a bright blue building along the highway to the west of the town of Labrador.

She described her place in glowing terms as a nice place for people to hang out and eat and drink. I wasn't all that interested until she mentioned that female companionship was available there too. Then my interest was piqued and I asked her questions about her operation. She houses around 20 girls. Most of them are from the Visayas region and all are between the ages of 19 and 25. It's more like a KTV, where you can sit with a girl and buy ladies drinks for 140 pesos and do the videoke thing. Take out cost 2000 pesos and the girl will stay with the guy until the morning. She says she has a lot of clients from the local resorts, which makes sense because her operation sits out in the middle of friggin no where. She says she has them blood tested each week for STDs. I have no reason to doubt her, but a part of me was suspicious of the claim. Regardless, I'm not a barebacker so it wasn't an issue for me.

I was getting tired of Dagupan so two days later I left and checked in at the Covelandia Resort. At around 9 pm I went out to the main gate and told the security guards I wanted to go to the "bistro". They smiled and told me there were many good looking girls there. I asked them if there were similar places in the nearby town of Sual and they said companionship was available there but the women were old and ugly, haha.

It took a while to flag down a trike, but eventually I ended up at the bistro. As Stephanie promised, there were plenty of girls available, I'd guess around 12. No stunningly beautiful ladies, but they were average or better. Looked a lot like the typical fare at the Manila Bay Cafe. They were dressed in casual clothing: jeans or shorts, slippers, and tank tops. But there were no fatties in the group, and all the ladies seemed pleasant.

There were about 10 other guys there (all Pinoy) , but a lot of them came just to drink and sing. Steph said 4 of the girls had been barfined earlier in the evening, but there were still plenty of suitable women for my choosing.

Steph brought them all over in a line and they introduced themselves to me, one by one. I can't remember the name of the girl I chose, but she was 19 years old with no kids from Nueva Ecija province. It was a nice low key atmosphere there. No pressure at any time, and I had a lot of fun. My beers were 40 pesos and the ladies drinks were 140. After a couple of drinks my girl started to get comfy with me and got really friendly, cuddling in close, french kissing, and rubbing my cock through my pants. There was no way I was going to let this girl get away, so after a couple of hours I paid the 2000 bar fine (all inclusive, no additional payment necessary except optional tip).

Not much to say about the nighttime activities. One pop that night and another in the morning. Lots of DFK and the BJ was more than adequate. She did ask if I would do her without the condom. I asked her why and she said she has always wanted a baby with blue eyes. Well, I don't need a band of Little Joe's running around the Phils, so I declined, haha.

In retrospect, I was certainly surprised to find such a place out in the middle of nowhere. I guess you never know when opportunity will knock on your door.

[Goferring]

I've heard that there is a strip of good bars in Battangas that may be worth a stop over on the way to Sabang / Puerto Galera.

Can anyone elaborate? I'm a frequent traveller to PG so a stopover could be interesting.)

[Goferring]

Just a quick update on PG. A lot has been posted recently so I won't repeat those but will just add the following:

PG generally is attracting many more non asian couples and groups of Western girls. I saw many more white BF / GF or groups of girls on this trip. Some of the white chicks were an easy 8 or 9. Hoewever none were P4P.

Rates have stabilised at 1500 plus 1500 with discounts available for longer stays or bulk buys.

Broadway has been turned from one of the best bars with great girls and atmosphere in to a dark featureless live band bar with no WGs. Just keep walking straight past it. The girls from the Broadway have supposedly relocated to Hammerhead but I couldn't find any old aquaintences. I have no idea why they closed Hammerhead for months for "remodelling". Nothing has changed.

Coco Lips (aka Pink Panther) and Las Vegas disco were very much the lower class bars full of girls well past their prime. New owners have seriously upgraded the vibe of these places. Coco was full of plenty of 7s and 8s. Apparently there is a pool table and ST rooms up stairs. Vegas has some great fun girls and if the mood is right will put on strip shows (however, this seems to be more spontaineous than a reqular schedule). For the anti Koreans this bar seemed to attract the least.

I've noticed that many of the girls on previous trips have left town to be replaced by new stock. The new girls appear to be well trained but having said that sometimes familiar territory is nice too.

I always enjoy PG and this trip was no exception. Again, some of the best girls with incredible, fun attitudes.

[WestCoast1]

It's more fun in the Philippines as the slogan says,

DOT Has made a believer out of me. Maybe they can use some of my pics in their upcoming campaign?
