The cure for high prices is high prices!

AC is dying with it's main revenue source drying up.

Lifting prices during lean times is pretty standard practice in most of Asia. Makes no sense but I can remember houses remaining vacant for years during the various crises rather than dropping rents to get a tenant. Though I must say that may have changed recently. Both pussy and housing prices dropped for those that remained in the market during the pandemic.

Not sure I'd agree that hookers are a majority of AC's cash and graft economy. If anything I'd say it's shrinking so both customers and suppliers are investigating options. I know guys who are bypassing AC in favour of Pattaya or remaining in country but abandoning 5 k barfines for 1 k provincial pussy.

To each their own.

Enjoy. G.

Take away the girls and AC is just another very unattractive provincial town. There was hope that Clark would be Manila's airport, that's now over with the new airport at Bulacan. AC is dying with it's main revenue source drying up.

Will Clark stay open to passenger traffic is the question on my mind. If they build a rail line from Bulacan airport to Angeles with cheaper airfare will people still fly into Clark? But I don't think the girls will go away anytime soon. The revenue isn't the airport, its the guys coming here to spend their money. The guys will just switch airports. Clark might eventually be shut to commercial traffic, I could see the military taking it over once again. Now if the rail line made stops on the way north and dropped people off near say SM Clark Mall that would really hurt the taxi mafi's income from airport traffic.

Now on a bar note I was talking with a buddy here about how tired I am of calling a girl over, buying a ladydrink only to be told 'menstration' or one of those excuses. What your getting at some of these bars is girls not going with customers (or only the ones they like) and living off the lady drinks. Hotter the girl the more money she can make. So we talked about 'asking the girl upfront if she was up to barfining before a waitress came over. Do you look bad not automatically buying a drink is the issue. So I go out drinking and meet another buddy of mine and I'm shocked he says the same thing, says he's been buying so many ladydrinks and getting shot down that its really adding up. I told him go for it, ask the girl before the waitress can bring a drink. Have to say it was an amazing sight, bar after bar he'd call a girl off stage and she'd come over and he'd say 'so you want to barfine and go have fun tonight?' and any girl that said stuff like 'I'm tired now' got sent back to the stage with him shooing away the waitress.

On a traffic jam note. They now have a guy directing traffic right near walking street. Before he arrives traffic flows nicely, the Filipinos drive their normal crazy way and it works. Then he shows up and starts trying to stop and start traffic and everything comes to a standstill. Funny thing the other day his boss must have shown up to observe and tried to take over directing traffic. And the same traffic jam happened. People coming off the side street now had stopped cars keeping them from getting out of the way and they then blocked traffic coming the other direction. Funny and sad to watch. Had they stopped directing traffic I'm sure the flow would have returned.

I'd suggest that the internet, spread of the middle class and sponsorship daddies pose a much greater threat to mongers than new urban planning. There was a time when NGOs were the only threat but now it seems to be coming from all sides. Not to mention the girls' falling preference for white meat. 😜.

However, as long as the PI keeps pumping out destitute single moms, then there will always be pussy somewhere.

But a lot will go online and work their webcams from home. Webcams will work more and more as Western women become ever more abnoxious.

It's the middle of bumfuck nowhere pampanga. Ain't no body with an ounce of common sense going to invest in that. Sure, Clark freeport zone gets some business due to being a freeport area, but all the talk of turning the rest of AC into some kind of tourism hub has been nothing but wishful thinking.

The one thing the place had going for it (after military money left) was that it attracted high paying tourists (and business minded people) with girlie bars and cheap pussy galore, once they started to try to clamp down on that the tourist money quickly dried up and the area has been on its knees since. Sure, the Koreans came in with a bit of cash but what true changes / improvements are we seeing in infrastructure (other than another new arcade / cafe / restaurant / refurbished bar) compared to the early 2000's-2015 ish where new hotels and condos and even SM mall were springing up left, right and center?

The bigwigs with bright ideas have been trying to reinvent AC for close to a decade now, and all they have to show for it is more dilapidated buildings and that long ass new mall / complex that still leaks through the roof whenever it rains.

My reliable source says the customers and bargirls are getting upset with the new pricing. Customers are not barfining as much and girls are upset of the lack of barfines.

The girls have been told by management that their daily salary will be decreasing by a significant amount.

The cure for high prices is high prices!

I used to travel to Thailand a lot and things were great. Then the waves of tourists arrived saying " I pay more because it's cheaper than back home". Consequently prices went up dramatically. I had girls complain to me that they could not get barfined, but they refused to lower prices, so they got nothing. We are seeing this play out in AC. The barfines are way overpriced for the quality. The girls will complain, but they will not reduce prices. So it will end up like BKK, stupid prices for poor service. I don't visit AC because overall it's poor value while consuming awful food in a very unattractive town.

All the changes that we are seeing will eventually lead to the disappearance of the girlie bars, it appears that the money will pour in from other sources. The plan is set in motion already:

Was drinking in there this weekend and the girl I bought drinks for wouldn't barfine with any regular guy.

Perhaps your reputation precedes you. 🤣.

On a more serious note, I've learnt never to push the matter if a girl insists on no bar fine or tarping up. Why take the risk that she may have a reason / know more than we do?

Enjoy. G.

Note in that video you see zero actual people, zero moving vehicles, and zero construction activity. Sailor Jack has read about many such development plans over the decades. Some happen, some do not. There has been significant development in the Clark area in recent years. Regardless, the sleazy girlie bars are still here.

"Yeah on face value that seems depressing since I happen to like it how it is now. But, BGC and surrounding areas are renovated modernized hotspots for dining and working, and yet P. Burgos is still there. " Furious George #29883.

A very good point the sleazy girlie bars still exist nearby 'upscale' areas of Manila.

"On the positive side, as long as poverty is endemic in the Phils, the hookers are going nowhere. " Jarango #29880.

You nailed it. The Filthypines will always have a place for sleazy girlie bars and for those of us who love them.

Images; recent sexts.

The vast majority of mongers who visit AC are scum bags with limited financial resources. They are not going to pay $50 for an eye fillet steak and then $120 for a bottle of nice red.

Image; Swabbies, this is Angeles Fucking City. Instead of a nice red, might Sailor Jack suggest a nice vintage 2004 brown and pink?

I like this one: The Filthypines.

Yeah on face value that seems depressing since I happen to like it how it is now. But, BGC and surrounding areas are renovated modernized hotspots for dining and working, and yet P. Burgos is still there. This is a ways out at Clark. Who knows, maybe it revitalizes AC and brings an influx of talent. Either way this whole thing seems many years away.

Here is a current video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLFwPHd4yq8 and TripAdvisor's take https://www.tripadvisor.ie/LocationP...egion_Luz.html on this lost paradise.

There is an obvious market catering to the snooker crowd and I know guys who shot pool there regularly. However, whatever about fast Eddie, it ain't fast money. We don't go there to shoot pool with our ageing sweet hearts, who have served 20 or so years in a go go bar. We go there to shoot our load. You got to follow the money as Deep Throat said. The heart of the action has to be the heart of the action. Less pool, more pool parties.

Margarita Stations's passing is almost as bad as the fire at Notre-Dame de Paris. On the positive side, as long as poverty is endemic in the Phils, the hookers are going nowhere.
