Angeles City

[Mr Enternational]

Direct flights ceased in 2014 after running for a decade. Why was this? A downturn in Angeles monger business?

99% of the people on those flights were not mongers. Evidently the route was not feasible. I once bought a ticket on it for $1.

There's ongoing talk of diverting some domestic flights to Clark because Manila airport is so busy. Several weeks ago in the paper was a story of plan to divert the Tacloban-Samar flights to Clark. This may come to pass (at least partially) once the highway construction to NAIA is completely finished.

Why the Bangkok-CRK route was terminated is anybody's guess.

Direct flights ceased in 2014 after running for a decade. Why was this? A downturn in Angeles monger business? Police crackdowns? Are hotels suffering after the building boom? Or have the East Asians stepped in to replace Western clientele? In short: is Angeles City still a viable destination? Thanks.

I have not had to pay a separate departure tax at any airport in the Philippines in at least 2 years. That includes Cebu and Clark. Why wouldn't the airline be able to turn it over? They have to pay their rent and everything else. They are not going to risk losing the privilege to operate over not turning over the money.

During the past two years I have paid the domestic departure tax P150 at Clark as recent as a few months ago. A year ago I flew out of CRK on international flight but do not remember if it was in the ticket price or not.

Last month I paid the departure tax P150 at TAC as usual.

Years (decades) ago the tax at NAIA was collected in the airline ticket price until one or more airlines went bankrupted and NAIA lost out of the money. Then they went to collection at the airport. Only within a little over a year ago did NAIA go back to collecting the tax in the ticket price. I believe the same time frame for Cebu airport the tax is built into the ticket price.

Turnover of the tax could be a complex accounting and tracking matter especially if you have so many booking agents and online services collecting it and are to forward it. As you may be aware forwarding of funds in Phil can have a shrinkage problem at times!

[Mr Enternational]

My understanding is that NAIA tickets include it in the ticket. All other airports including CEB, CRK etc etc still collect it directly.

We have to remember that they just don't have the administration infrastructure or interdepartmental trust to let the airlines remit it.

If you haven't paid for it in your ticket price then;.

Domestic is P150.

International is P750 assuming your are not OFW.

Anyway, I will not catch a trike from same spot ever again. Had an aggresive one from same spot 2 yrs ago. I think they hate foreigners, at that spot. Right outside Kokmomos, opposite the main entrance. Crooks.

Last 24 hrs have been in bed with bad cold, now recovered and ready to rock and roll again. Feeling good. I don t let nasty incidents (not of my making) linger in my mind very long. Its on and ever forward.

Angeles still recommended.

So you caught the trike at the side road off Walking Street? I haven't caught on there just as it's not on my way anywhere.

I guess that place is a protected area as it's probably a good pickup for foreigners going home with their BF.

I've used the semi-official trike stop at the Phillies end of Walking St.

Philippies is fun, but not always.

Yesterday heavy argument I and bar, today another confrontation, trike driver this time.

Hop in trike off we go to destination, Margarita. 10 mtrs from Margarita he swings around and starts going back the way we had come. I said stop stop, he aid "running out of gas" We went about half way back from whence we came, then turned into an alleyway I thought Oh I am going to be be robbed. He stopped in the middle of nowhere and asked for the fare to Margarita. I told h I'm this is no good I have to pay another trike same money. He said yeh, yeh, I thought maybe some guys will pop out from somewhere any sec, gave him the full fare and high tailed out of that alleyway. Maybe the idea was to have a argument, he gets physical and in process robs me of my see ash.

Thanks 8787, I want to be sure I have enough pesos when I leave.

[Dg8787]

Can anyone tell me the departure tax at Clark Field Airport when departing the Philippines?

I finally got to Orange bar and Lipstick bar, reportedly raided recent days. Yep looks like they were raided, open now, with small number of girls who most probably were not in the bar at time of raid. At Orange, girl peeps her head through entrance curtain, on seeing me, screams, laughs, giggles. I think its because they have not seen a customer in days. "What a joke, we have got a customer". I entered, the girl has personality, and a fun nature (like me, LOL).

Sit down inside buy her a single ladies drink, she is a character, and can't stop smiling, laughing. She can't believe it, she has scored a ladies drink P175 or thereabouts, her share P50. Down in Equus Walking St 'Boyish' gets P50 for each of her singles drinks. Have to sell a lot of LD's to equal a Perimeter Rd bar fine. Perim Rd girls are inclined to bar fine, Walking St girls, LD's. I avoid the double ladies drink effort by saying to waitress "She is single (bar girl) , I am single, so single drink". They smile and trot off. Avoids ya looking like a Cheap Charlie. Lately I have been buying Boyish (hair style) doubles cause she is worth it. Had a P1,500 bill at Equus. Waitresses all and sundry got into relieving me of money. Biggest bar bill for a while, that one.

At see bar had a heated argument with old senior waitress. Fixed her up. If they don't show respect, stamp on them lads. We are the buyers, they are the sellers. Since when does the buyer suck up to a seller? Anyway I have got good relations with all the girls except that fucked up hag. Girls appreciated me standing up to the woman. She talks shit to the girls, told her "You don't talk to me like I am shit".

Just letting you know its not always smooth. Problems, very much the exception. This is the land of the smiles. Phils, not Thailand and their 'fake' smile.

Hit a number of bars last night. Atlantis is the king for numbers. Must be over 200 girls there on display, most tables and chairs taken. Not my scene, prefer the smaller more personal bars. None worth mentioning here. Oh yeah, gained access to Hollywood last night. 4 x 4 was not there, but 5 x 5 was, big sister. Hollywood would suit some. Many bars visited, not impressed enough to remember their names. No shortage of choice in bars lads. Took a liking to one near Atlantis, Centaurus? Liked it, had a revolving stage. Will be back there tonight.

Seems to be heating up, more punters than a week ago. The European hordes are arriving?

Tiring of Angeles, off to Cebu Saturday. Thought of a side trip to La Cafe, Glorietta 3, Burgos St, via a bus ride. But been there done that, going right back to the 1970's when my whoring career began.

Thanks for the response to the "Managers Resistance Movement". Don't want the pages filled up with those guys. Persistent resistance will ensure their effort to take over Phils threads with questions upon questions, will not succeed. We don't mind answering questions when we can see the person has done his research and just wants to fine tune. No problem with that.

More shagging the Phil girls. Someone has to do it.

OK, off to the sperm receptacles I go.

[Poopbunny]

Lots of K's smoking near me, the single most annoying thing for me.

Now I walk into the bar, if it's busy, I scan for a spot far from smokers or tell the girls I am looking for a smoke free spot and leave if there are no nice girls.

This trip, the center of attention of not K throwing $$, but a regular punter from Singapore tossing P1000 notes.

The girls all crowd around hoping for a brush with luck. Reminds me of tropical fish before feeding time.

Saw another punter giving $$ directly but putting it down their their bikinis, he is getting the right idea, at least he gets to touch the girls.

Notable bars.

Dollhouse. My favorite. Picked a girl I saw here the last time, saw her twice this time she had her tongue done. 1 LT + 1ST (did a runner). Saw 2 other girls I would have picked.

Crystal Palace. Lots of nice girls but 2nd time unlucky, too demure, too many restrictions, does not kiss, does not BJ, etc. Let her go.

Arcadia (was Nemesis / Genesis) - picked a really nice girl, could not even tell she was a MILF, no signs, tight body and pussy, saw her twice. 1ST & 1 semi LT (6 hours).

Dragon Bar. Lots of nice girls but the one I wanted was not available, very helpful mamasan, did not bug me for LD, I tipped her P100 when I left.

Club Asia. Nearly forgot about this place, small but nice ratio of decent girls, ended up with a young one pestering me to take her, promising me everything I wanted. Not great looking but nice session almost as good as a JAV cry session. She complained my dick was the biggest she had.

Ponytails. My favorite haunt for just a drink.

Viking. Saw a nice girl I had seen before but decided on something new.

Agasya. Often overlooked, was really nice in May, but too quiet this time.

Nice mix of new girls and girls I have seen before.

On some nights, I like to pick some girls I have seen before, no need to for all the Q&A hassles and endless LD pestering from others.

Also she appreciates repeat business and gives back in service.

Tips.

Food. Some cheap food P100 fries or even some peanuts from a vendor goes a much longer way than LD. People are hungry here.

I am finding myself thinking (sometimes dreaming) about AC, not only for the girls but other things like cheap cocktails, cheap beer, popcorn at some bars, the quirky salad bar at Swiss Chalet and yes the steak too.

Maybe I have been here too many times.

$2 for a beer with girls dancing, I can't get that for x3 in the real world and that is minus the girls.

You posted the same question in the Makati forum. Please don't do that.

Research suggests he is another 'Manager'. Take but no give. Fellow Mongers tell us they are a curse and stuff up threads elsewhere. So lads, we resist here, to the bitter end, if necessary. Join the 'Managers Resistance Movement\ today. Fully paid up members only, of course.

I see in my Sunday report it reads "C Club. " Well I wrote see (as in letter of alphabet, IE, A, B, C) . But the software or phantom editor changed it to "See". Sentence makes no sense when it does that.

Imagine these girls asking P200,000 for their hymen. Suppose no harm in asking. She is 21 yrs old, Flip and still a virgin = either a religious freak, lesbian, or feminist, LOL. 'Boyish' (previously reported) reckons she too was a virgin 4 months ago. Sitting at same table, so maybe she is hinting its cheaper to keep fucking her at a greatly discounted rate. Don't know. Competition between girls is hot, as handsome punters like me are few and far between right now. Boyish keeps saying to girls "he (me) must have been handsome when he was young". Wish she wouldn't do that, LOL. Was? What about now? LOL.

Lots of guys report Angeles is not good for this that reason, yet I am having a great time. Must be something in the local water?

[WestCoast1]

I know this is the AC forum but: Is there any action in Iloilo? I'll be there in a few days for a few weeks and would hate to experience a "dry" spell (pun intended). Thanks.
