Angeles City

While waiting for my 5. 00 pm PL date, I popped in next door to the Brass Knob Hotel and Bar for a drink. I was very impressed. It's a very neat and tidy looking daytime bar, with about 8-10 dancers. Girls are not stunners, but okay. A little more mature but I'm sure they would give very good service. It's a very low stress bar without any hard sell. Most of the clientele was older Australian or American gentlemen. This bar is not set up for Korean or Chinese mongers LOL.

Unlike other gogos, you can order proper food here for lunch and dinner. You can bring in your laptop, use the free wifi and do some work for a few hours. It's that type of bar. The music is not so loud. It's very much a hidden treasure which gets overlooked. If you are sick of the rubbish on WS, and want a quieter set up, check out the Brass Knob.

There was a pretty lady there with a brilliant smile called Grace, whom I invited over. I bought her a LD. I had a coke. My drink was 65 pesos and her LD was 260 pesos. I also barfined her since she was lovely to be with and I told the mamasan I would collect her at 7. 00 pm. The barfine was 1800 pesos.

My plan now is to go one round with my PL date at 5. 00 pm, pay her 1500 pesos and chuck her out at 6. 30 pm. Then I will go next door and collect Grace who will go LT with me. I might need to open up that packet of elephant strength Viagra. LOL.

3. Food generally remains inedible haha. Good opportunity for fat mongers to lose weight. Food is exceptionally bad at Kokomo's. Even the chick I was with couldn't eat more than a mouth full of the Chicken Pad Thai. Please don't order any food at Kokomo's. It is only good for having a drink and watching people from the front bench.

Great reports here and in the Manila thread so far ED. You got to order the chef salad and mango juice at Kokomo's. Most everything else is shit.

Anyone shed some light on why bars are dead? Does that mean cheaper bar fines? Suppose once high season kicks off bar scene will pick up?

I will just stick this right here:

So what hasn't changed in Angeles City over the past year?

1. The trike mafia still charges 100 pesos for a short ride on the main strip. I guess the Mayor couldn't convince the mafia don to stick to the published rate guide.

2. Pot holes, pot holes and pot holes. More pot holes than back in my country. The money for pot hole repairs has been diverted to the road department's Christmas fund.

4. Random girls are still shamelessly flirting with me at JJ Supermart and at the Jollibee queue. Off duty hookers doing what they do best. I'm sure it won't happen to me next week in downtown Davao City.

Less cash flow (June to September) = danger of bars increasing the bar fines, to make up for lower cash flow. Opposite to Western World psychology / strategy, when sales / cash flow sinks. Years ago Angeles flooded with handsome guys like me = healthy cash flow, then new factors suppressed bars cash flow = bar fines went from P900 to P3000 and beyond. Not in one night, but happened. Bar fines will go up, especially if cash flow goes down. Flip logic at work.

Low season, heavy rains, flooding, misleading info on Mayor actions, all add up to very quiet AC. Myself, like EngineDriver, 1st week of September, only me in a bar of 60 plus girls, all average looking girls too, by the way. Lookers will come out, say October / Nov onwards for high season K clientele, LOL.

There is this little thing called the internet. 😁.

With the bars' fixed costs so high, I don't see drink nor BF prices dropping. I could see the business model move away from the old 'drinks wih the boys', 'party all night' focus to a much more ST treadmill as Pattaya and BKK have become.

6. I bar hopped with my PL chick yesterday and the bars were totally boring. Went to Atlantis, XS and Xanadu. Hardly any mongers and you could've fallen asleep there as the shows were so pathetic.

I love a good bar hop with a couple of buddies and / or fun girls. However, the whole AC girlie bar business model is not sustainable:

Essentially full prepayment gives no incentive for good service.

Expanding online and civilian options for the girls mean that the pool that bars can recruit from is ever diminishing. Most employ who ever they can get and very few can insist on only pretty and outgoing girls.

With the cost and ease of travel dropping, the proportion of repeat visitors has increased. Many can arrive in their favorite town (s) with contact numbers from previous visits and not need to even enter a bar to get a girl. I rarely actually barfine a girl anymore and usually only enter a bar to drink and / or have a perv.

If you are coming to AC, line up your hookers on PL. In the Pampanga section, pretty much all the girls are hookers. There will be a few call centre girls or school teachers, but they too are up for action.

The same can be said for most towns in the PI. Sure the % of hard core hookers might be lower but the same method still works. Many actually get more enjoyment from the fresher girls.

In my mind the only benefit to AC bars is the concentration of sure thing, point and shoot girls and the ability to easily hop from bar to bar to bar. Otherwise many other towns, with the same amount of effort can provide fresher girls for a fraction of the price and often in far nicer surroundings.

Cheers. G.

A monger wrote in a few months ago that the Mayor's directives to clean up AC meant that the bars had a limited life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here are some observations from on the ground:

1. Freelancer Park has been demolished and all the vendors selling footwear and clothing have lost their livelihood. I don't know why they call it Freelancer Park as I've never seen any freelancers there. They've got some amusement rides there now.

2. The street urchins who would beg outside of the Kwik E Mart have all gone.

3. No plastic bags or plastic straws. When you buy bottles of water, they pack them now in flimsy paper bags. Within 2 seconds, the condensation has disintegrated the bag and you've got no way to get the water bottles back to your hotel. Nice one you environmental pricks.

4. Viagra salesman have gone.

5. The kids selling cigarettes on WS now have a cover over the tray, presumably to hide their merchandise from LE.

7. Wechat in AC is full of LBs.

In the old days, the ABC hotel could take your there by chopper, but I'm not sure if they still do. In any case, they used a Robinson R22, which is no longer airworthy in a few countries.

The ABC discontinued its helicopter service quite a while ago, so that's no longer an option. I've indicated a few times on this board that I have the number of a very reliable driver who can pick up passengers anywhere in Manila and take them to AC. He's got a full-size car, and I'the be glad to provide his contact information to anyone who's interested.

GE.

they looked like hookers to me, but dressed up looking good. With the exception of one, the girls were with way older men. By the way, not knocking the older generation because I'm now one of them.

If the "stunners" you saw at Central Park were up at the restaurant on the roof that's normal. When there's live music, the place is full of Filipinas, taking selfies and whatnot, enjoying the ambiance and a night out.

When God was handing out beauty elixir, I was right down the back of the line and completely missed out. Then on the way down to earth, I was wacked a few times with the ugly stick. I am no threat to Don Draper, or Messrs Clooney and Pitt.

It's 5. 40 pm in AC, and here I am in bed right now with certified 9 I found on PL. I cannot fkn believe it. Viva AC.

We haven't settled on a fee for her services yet. She was too shy to give me a number and said she trusts me. She used to be a hooker in Wan Chai and certainly knows her way around a foreign cock.

Flying straight into Clark is the easiest and best option. That 3,200 metre runway built by Uncle Sam is just great.
.....

I took a cab from Makati to Pasay's Victory Liner Terminal. Cab fare was 100 pesos, and took maybe 15 minutes in light traffic. Bus fare to Dau station was 163 pesos. From Dau station to AC cost me 150 pesos in a trike.

If you are flying around the Philippines, Clark also becomes an attractive option for the repeated hub and spoke flight you are forced into. You can only transit through Manila and Cebu so many times before welcoming a change.

South bound busses actually stop in Makati, behind the Dusit Hotel. Handy if you are staying in the immediate area, a hot and sweaty walk if you're not (just go all the way to Pasay then taxi to your final destination). If they allow getting on at this stop then you would want to know exactly when the bus is leaving. For the same reasons as above, it will be a very uncomfortable area to wait any length of time.

This has been written about and discussed to death on this board, but mongers are too lazy to RTFF. There are five ways to get to AC.

1. Fly straight into Clark.

2. Get a private car sent to pick you up (like from Margherita station).

3. Get a public taxi.

4. Get a hotel limo.

5. Get the bus.

Flying straight into Clark is the easiest and best option. That 3,200 metre runway built by Uncle Sam is just great. You will note that the runway width is 60 m to take the wing tip wheels of a B52 BUFF (big ugly fat fucker).

You can book a car online for about 3,000 pesos or negotiate with a cabbie off the street for that amount. I'm a big unit, so 2-3 hours in a Toyota compact car is not much fun, so I took the bus today. At least in a bus you can stretch out a bit and it's a lot more comfortable.

I've never been to AC in a hotel limo. I'm sure if you paid 12,000 ++ pesos, they would take you there in a shiny black 7 series or S Class.

Hey Mr. E, they looked like hookers to me, but dressed up looking good. With the exception of one, the girls were with way older men. By the way, not knocking the older generation because I'm now one of them.
