I'm not sure how much the apartments go for, but I'm pretty sure that having been to Pattaya you would not want to stay in AC or Manila for 2 weeks. Safety is not big on my list. If I ever listened to people or TV about how dangerous places are then I never would have came out of my mother 39 years ago. People are people where ever you go. I hang in some pretty shady places all around the world and have never had one problem. So you might want to get someone else's take on that.
I think the bar girls on DIA are looking for love. Right before I left at 2am I took another girl from the bar that the girl I met works at from 10pm to 1am. She still hounded me about coming to see me while the other one was with me and after she left. As soon as the girl got back to the bar she sent me a message saying "The girl is here n0w can I g0 there n0w pls i want see u pls b4 you live." I let her come after I got my things together; 10 minutes before my trike. She sent me texts up until my plane left.

Posts: 4567That doesn't stop them from shouting out something, possibly in Tagalog, to your date. Annoying at the least, but could cause complications. And if you've demanded a bar fine back, as I had to do the other day, what your ex (I sue the term loosely) says might be less than flattering. X.

Posts: 4567Pinatubo hike
I finally made the Pinatubo tour. The views at the caldera are stunning. The last time I inquired about a tour, the agent discouraged me because of rain. The next day a group, including French tourist, were washed away by lahar (mudflow of volcanic ash). Seven were killed. You don't want to do this during rainy season.
I didn't keep good track of time, so please correct me if anyone sees obvious discrepencies. A 6am start, nearly three hours in a jeep. The last hour is off road over lahar and part way up the slopes. Another group went by van and was transferred to jeep later, which is probably a better way to go. The jeep is open air and it can get chilly. The hike is what I would call easy, about an hour each way and nothing extremely steep. Nevertheless, the trails have a lot of rock and lahar sand. It's easy to stumble. The locals did this in sandals, and I did it in regular athletic shoes. It was a weekday and I understand the weekends will have many more visitors. I also heard, but have not confirmed, that the trip is shorter if done from Subic.
The paying hikers consisted of five . Two mid-aged Americans, two 30ish Koreans, a Fil-American. The only woman. The Filipina was very helpful because the guide apparently couldn't speak English. The Koreans were friendly and courteous. Which of course contradicts what some others have said on this message board.
Just before we went off road we stopped to register and I paid 2, 500. Other members had paid the travel agent in advance. Around this time we picked up a guide and a boat man. The jeep was rather crowded.
There was an additional 350 fee if you wanted to rent a boat, incl. Boatman. This had to be paid at the registration center. That being said we talked to someone who had negotiated 250. I also think that if you opted out of the boat, once you get at the caldera lake you could probably arrange something with the guides. Despite the "no swimming" sign, I swam in the caldera lake. Water wasn't as cold as I expected.
The history of the Pinatubo eruption and the Aeta people who lived on the slopes is very interesting. You can find plenty of information on the web. The guide and the boat man were Aeta people. Our guide says he gets paid less than 250 pesos, but they take turns being guides and he gets onlytwo chances a month. And probably no chances in the rainy season. He was tipped well by our group, despite his lack of English.
At the end of the hike we were were fed at the same place as the registration center. It was Filipino food, and it was better than I expected. I think were back on the AC strip sometime before 5, although most tours are probably shorter. We had a few things that slowed us down. Hope that helps if anyone is interested in a Pinatubo hike.

Posts: 15925AC to MNL
I had a 7:40am flight out of MNL Monday.
I took a trike at 2:00am from Central Park Hotel for 100 pesos.
I arrived at Dau bus station at 2:10am. The Five Star bus departed for Pasay at 2:15am. 132 pesos.
I arrived in Pasay at 3:33am. (I actually got off at the stop before the one I was supposed to. I remembered the Five Star garage from the time before and got off there. Just so happened there is actually 2 of them. The one I was supposed to get off at was actually another 10 minutes down the road.
I entered a taxi at 3:34am and arrived at the airport at 3:55am. 165 pesos.
Summary: Departed hotel in AC 2:00am arrived MNL 3:55am. 397 pesos. It would have been under 300 pesos if I would have gotten off at the correct stop.

If you plan on staying 2 weeks (which I think is a long time for AC) then you might want to look into an apartment instead of a hotel. Some of the guys who live there should be able to point you in the right direction.
I don't want to be a killjoy, but most of the girls you meet on DIA in AC will be the same girls in the bars. Before I went this time I met a chick on there who said she lived in AC. I asked where she worked and she told me XYZ Bar. I told her okay I will visit her there when I arrive. I actually called her and she came to the hotel. The next day when I did visit the bar I saw they had 3 computers set up where the girls do their online hooking up. I have not had any problems with any police setups.

Posts: 30I am curious whether there are any good discos in town where a guy can go and potentially pull some freebies (much like Lucifer in Pattaya, if you are familiar with that)?
As some of you are discussing, I thought that AC would be a cheap destination but I am more and more starting to think that this will not really be the case due to the cost of the hotel room alone. I am going to be staying at Pacific Breeze, which was recommended by some people on this site as a budget place to stay, but that is $50-60 a night (I was unable to book the cheapest room for 2 weeks straight). In Thailand you can probably get a similar room for $25 or even cheaper if you really wanted.
However, since I have never been to AC, I thought that it was definitely a place I had to visit at least once, so that's why I'm going in 2 weeks. Since the cost of the room is more expensive, I am trying to find ways to mix up my activities from meeting girls in bars to also meeting them on dateinasia. Com and potentially discos. Also, is it common for someone to get scammed by picking up women either through disco or dateinasia. Com (e. G. Police setup or things like that)?

Posts: 51I left this in the hotel section also but it seems to not get much traffic.
Can anyone recommend a hotel with adjoining bedroom or at least two queen beds for a wingman? It makes it alot easier to stay organized plus we may be able to switch.
