Cagayan De Oro City

Westcoast 1 and Brain Drain.

Thank you for your posts here. If I were to return to CDO I would ride a taxi into town. I had my fill of the fucking mini vans anywhere in the world. In San Francisco the asshole picked me up late and I missed my flight to San Diego for a Meeting. In Pattaya City, Thailand, once the van did not show as it was full and I nearly missed my flight to Tokyo. In my City at the airport I waited an hour for the van for the central part of the City to arrive (saw vans for all sorts of places but not the main part of the city) to arrive. It then took three (3) trips around the entire airport until it was packed with passengers. I was first one on board and the last one dropped off. In CDO five (5) years ago I was told there was a "complimentary" van waiting to take me to my Hotel. I got in and the driver told me he had to wait for more passengers to fill the van. I got out!

I could go on for hours relating lousy trips in fucking mini vans. I pay the taxi, get in "alone" and the driver immediately takes me to my destination. Saving a little money is NOT worth the fucking nonsense or missing a Meeting or a Flight! I need comfort also. A minivan in Hilongos, Leyte seven (7) years ago started out with only me. When it reached Baybay two hours later it had fifteen (15) passengers, six (6) more than it was permitted. I had to hold me bag on my lap and people were shoved into each other. At Baybay, I promptly told the driver "Fuck You" and hired a taxi for the 30 mionute ride to Ormoc.

I stayed at the Dynasty Court Hotel in CDO back in 1999. It is on my List of the worst, fucking, piece of shit hotels in the world! Incompetent Staff, rude, front desk employees and a room the size of a closet. Air conditioning broke in middle of the night. I had to scream like all hell to get the asshole at the front desk to move me to a new room. I checked out in the morning and took my bags with me to the place where I ate breakfast. Told the manager in the shitty, chocolate brown (gross), polyester sport jacket that he was a TOTAL FOOL!

The experience that Westcoast 1 had with the girl at the front desk is what I had EVERY FUCKING DAY at the Mallberry Hotel. They are given a short course in English and learn a few expressions. Two thirds of the Hotel Staff at the Mallberry cannot speak English at all. And they ALL have NO COMPREHENSION of western culture. Made the most stupid comments to me all the time! I was told by the Hotel GM, Stella, to inform her of any problems I encountered. PROBLEMS! I had nothing but problems at the Piece of Shit Mallberry Hotel.

The had a genuine midget security guard working there when I last visited. He held up traffic exiting the Hotel as he spoke to a Filipino in a car in front of my taxi and several other cars. I got out and told him to let the guy move his vehicle so the rest of us could get out. All 3'10" of him started yelling at me. I am 6'4" and 240 lbs. I got out again, shook my fist at him, punched my left hand hard with my fist and moved towards him. He may have set a Philippine record for the 100 meter dash then. I got back in the taxi laughing hysterically.

If I ever DO return to Cagayan de Oro City, I will NOT stay at the Mallberry. If I get a decent rate at the Luxe, I will try it. For meeting beautiful, young, regular (not prostitutes) women, CDO is FAR SHORT of Makati, Ormoc or Manila. Infinitely inferior to Cebu or Davao!

Mallberry: Walked into the place one morning recently to do some recon. I've walked right by this place (its on a cross-street to Limketkai Avenue) multiple times on my early morning strolls, and simply did not notice the large script letters MS on the side of the building. The rates sheet at the front desk shows about 9 different types of rooms (confusing: whatever happened to small / medium / large? Asked to see a Deluxe room (p2400), and the (hot) receptionist and a door guy showed me up in the elevator. Before the lift arrived I remembered to ask about the pool. "Oh sir its for repair right now. Not operation. We are making it better for the customers". Really. When do you plan to see it operational? "Oh sir I cannot answer that. We don't know". Up we went, and they showed me a relatively run-down room with one full-size bed (relatively thin) and one twin size bed. The window shows a slum outside (hey, its CDO). Peeling paint on the walls. I should have taken pics. It reminded me soooo much of the Dynasty Court rooms (both before -- and after -- their renovation; see below).

On the way back down in the elevator the girl asked if I'd like to reserve a room for tonight. No thanks, toots, I'm staying 90 second's walk away at the Luxe. Where they are running a promo all month long for 2750 on (relatively) luxurious Deluxe rooms. With a bitchin' heated outdoor pool and bar area. (What I wanted to say was: Why the hell would I want to pay 2400 for this run-down place, when new luxury exists just up the street for $8/ more per night? I pocketed the rate sheet and stepped off the elevator, and thought I'd have another go at the hottie receptionist and the pool: How long has the pool been out of service? "I'm not sure sir. We are making it better for the guest". I see. Well then, a third run at it: When is the last time you recall the pool being operational for guests? "I don't know sir. Just we are making it better for the guest". Run #4: I see, sweetie. Has it been operational in the last 6 months? Any? The girl looked at the door security guy who was standing there with us. I could see the question (or its re-asking) caused consternation. The girl said: "We are making it better for the guest sir". Fine, I'm getting the party line. Thanks!

And now for some Pilipina audacity (and its about time dammit): As I headed to the front door, the girl said: "But sir do you want to reserve the Deluxe room for tonight?" Hahahahahahaha I didn't even turn to acknowledge her. But I wanted to turn and say: Are you effing kidding me, did you NOT hear me say that I was staying at a nicer hotel for about the same price?

Seda Centrio: Walked in and asked to see a Deluxe room (only 2 room sizes: Deluxe and Executive -- Exec has a kitchenette). Luxurious looking room, like the Luxe, but slightly smaller. Interestingly I struck up a fun conversation with the bellboy they sent with me to show the room. On the way to the room when I mentioned I was staying at Luxe, he said: "Honestly sir I can tell you Luxe is more luxury hotel than Seda. But still this is very nice place". I was not convinced, as the lobby, resto, pool, and 'club' area (1 on each floor, like a separate lounge to sit and have coffee or meetings) are lovely. I took some pics of both the Deluxe and Exec room, will post later. Room rates were about:

Deluxe 5000.

Club (deluxe room with Club access -- the room at the end of the hall with the coffee and meeting tables) 6000.

Executive 7000.

The bellhop said they run promos for discounts all the time. He was kind and showed me around the hotel (not just the room).

Dynasty Court: Was across the street at a nightclub with my pinay. About midnight walked out and decided to have a look at the newly-renovated DC. Lobby identical. While the lights were off in the convention room (where breakfast is served), everything inside looked identical. Asked to see a Deluxe room. Was taken up in an elevator that has not changed since my stay 2 years ago. Flooring in the hallways has not changed. The room itself has not changed (cracked paint on the walls). The bellhop *did* say they closed, were bought out, were under new management, and had made renovations. Was told by others that for some period of time the scaffolds were up around the exterior. However, I could not see a single change from prior to the closing (and I was not drunk -- this time).

I am thinking of making another trip here for a couple days but only if things have improved. I know I will have to endure the hustlers at the new airport and the long ride into CDO. I think this is enough.

Dragon Slayer.

Couple of thoughts. First, if you don't have dating site girls lined up ready to sex you, its probably not the place to go. Even if you do, these are shy province girls, and often back out at the last minute.

Second, the new airport is clean compared to the Lumbia airport (ala Manila T3). Exiting the building, you will encounter about 6 different companies that provide large aircon vans for transporting passengers to their hotel (or mall dropoff for locals), all charging p200 (Magnum is the most popular). You might have to sit in the van (aircon running) for a bit until they get enough customers to run the thing into town. They drop you right at your hotel and don't ask for a tip. The bad part is that it takes 50-60 minutes to get into town. Returning to the airport after your stay, I think they charge you an extra p50 to transport you from your hotel to the mall (Magnum office was at Ayala / Centrio Mall) for your van ride back to the airport. On my last trip, the van from the mall to the airport was very large, seating about 20, with two aisles of seats, and a separate luggage compartment in the back, with good aircon.

Third, unlike T3/ Manila, the new airport checkin procedure is (relatively) faster. Getting my boarding pass and getting thru the security checkpoint to the gate does not take long.

Guys,

It has been a few years since I visited CDO. I was always complaining about the Mallberry Hotel here. I was, with a discount, still paying a good amount for the room there. Has anyone been to the Mallberry recently? I heard that Stella, the GM, is gone. Did anyone ever manage to go swimming in the hotel pool? It was the most fucked up Place I ever stayed at, save for the Park Lane Int; l Hotel in Cebu!

I determined that the ladies were far more plentiful in Makati, Cebu, Davao and Ormoc. I did meet some nice ladies in CDO but I had to work at it at least five (5) times harder than I did in the other cities that I frequent. Only easy pussy in CDO was the Pros and the vast abundance of semi pros. These girl would blow and fuck a foreigner that they did not know from king kong, as long as he paid them 2,000 pesos for an hour or two fucking. Some of them were very beautiful and sexy. ALL of them were from very poor families and were pretty crude and unrefined women.

Fucking the pros got old fast. I heard that you could work out a deal to fuck them for a 1,000 pesos but all the ones I met wanted at least 2,000. When I mentioned a smaller amount they would not agree to it. I did meet regular ladies but it took tons of hard work. I remember arriving at the entrance to the Barangay where this one lived and then getting a text from her telling me she left to go shopping with her auntie and would not be able to join me for dinner. I ended up finding another lady who went with me at a moment's notice, as I immediately called her and asked if I cold get her for dinner. Took her to La Vetta's and she was beautiful.

Sadly she had to return home to her infant son as she left him with a neighbor when I called. I messed this up when she wanted to return the next day but bring her aunt along. I said no and that was it for her. I should have allowed the old buzzard to accompany her, put on my charming Slayer self and see what happens. Of course, in Davao when I did do this a couple years later, the old auntie tried to get me to sit through a presentation for some multi level marketing nonsense. Like I came all the way to the Mindanao to endure that bullshit. But when I said I had my onw business and no need or desire to get into some ripoff deal in the Philippines, the young lady would not see me again.

I am thinking of making another trip here for a couple days but only if things have improved. I know I will have to endure the hustlers at the new airport and the long ride into CDO. I think this is enough.

Guys,

It is customary to bring pasulobong (gifts) with you for the people you will meet. This IS especially true if you are travelling a long distance and expecting romance (good hard fucking and a nice blowjob or ten). If the Lady has children, YOU BRING THEM SOMETHING! Chocolates, such as Hershey's large chocolate bars that sell for $ 1. 50 to $ 2. 50 each, depending on if it is a 4. 25 oz or a 7 oz bar are great! I fill my bag with three dozen of the large Hershey chocolate bars and a dozen bars of M&M chocolates, plus o2 dozenf the small gift pack of four gourmet chocolates. Total cost runs me about $ 90 US.

Now, I have children who constantly say, "Daddy I want chocolates and toys". I bring plenty of chocolates and the specific toys my children want. If a hot looking lady has children around the same age, I get something for them also. They love this and really appreciate it. Cost is nominal. The lady eats some chocolate and gets in the mood for "Love". I get her naked fast and fuck her good at least twice so she gets used to me fucking her right away. I always get the lady dinner after we fuck. Remember the "reward" factor with animals, it works with people also.

As to the Lady bringing along friends or family for the first Meeting, sometimes there is nothing you can do about this. I simply have them meet me in the hotel lobby or they all go to my room. I give them soft drinks and NOTHING MORE. I am not going to get set up to feed the Family as they want. Last Trip the one girl first brought along her sister and the following day brought her two fat sisters. I gave them each something to drink and then ignored them as I got on my computer at the desk in my room.

When the met me the first time, I took them to the Lobby Lounge In vasayan the Little Weasels told the waitress to bring them menus and they ordered dinners. Assholes were there solely to "work me like a NYC construction project". Why, the second time I had them go to my room. Had the third fat vulture along hoping to get dinners again for all. DID NOT HAPPEN!

Thanks for the words of wisdom guys. As at this moment I have a short list of 7 ladies most of whom appear to be non-professionals. My ranking is for.

Employed girls of which there are two. I might learn something.

One was totally busy. The second came over in the evening and we totally hit it off. She's still in contact and keen to love me for life. Hmmmm. Works as a receptionist and thinks I'm "handsoooome".

One university student whom will need to take a 4 hour bus (she'll be motivated if she arrives).

She got all kind of freaked out in the days prior so I had to cut her loose and avoid her. Ended up blocking her on FB.

One mother of two kids, needs Peso for family needs. Certainty.

Another one that was on the wrong track. Wanted to know what gifts I had brought for her, the kids are expecting gifts as well. Had to do an abort on this as I was heading to be the cash cow.

3 others in various states of shyness, uncertainty etc.

Sometimes I just had to go with it. My new little university honey turned out to be the sweetest.

Always amazed at how little sex they describe themselves as getting, no sex 12 months, no sex life two years etc etc.

I'll update the outcome in two weeks.

I definitely need to visit again.

Out of big cities girls tend to be reserved. Yes, all want sex but will not jump into bed the moment they arrive. Beware of the people they bring them with. Most likely it will be like feed me and my friends or friends and family.

Be careful they do not get upset after sex and remorse. Play your cards right and you maybe ok.

I have gone to small places and have dated locals. Always asked them to show up at the hotel alone. Feel safer. Yes, had great GFE experiences and fortunately never been in trouble. Many a time money talks.

Have fun but be alert for scams. Yes, even the country girls can scam you.

Just a reminder of my post below (#296). Mindanao province girls are shy creatures, and often say anything on cam in order to meet a gringo.

Westi, you are the finest one in regards of reading about Filipino girls. I met a girl online from Zamboanga now staying at Makati. For whom soon m arriving in Phil. Copy to your comments.

[WestCoast1]

Just doing some research on other areas in RP with a week long trip planned to Surigao. Looking at this original report I wonder if I can use reverse psychology and tell the girl I'm leaving a day earlier, changed my plan whatever.

I've got a list of chat pals whom have agreed to meet with my expectations having been agreed. It seems even our experienced mongers get caught out by the innocents.

Will update how it goes.

For the next several days she was full of txts requesting she spend the night, no sex. I find this, and the previous shy behavior that DS describes (wants to meet, makes excuses not to meet, then at the very end comes screaming to the hotel to meet), both very odd. Other gent's explainations are welcome.

Guys,

A lot of Members here have NOT liked the Mallberry Hotel. Does Dynasty Court now have a swimming pool? Sounds like the morning breakfast is decent. I had breakfast included with my room at the Mallberry Hotel always. GoodEnough told me he never ate iit as he heard it was not good. I awoke at dawn one morning and decided to try the breakfast. I went over to the breakfast room at 06:45 AM (breakfast began at 06:00). Only a few people and a Staff of half a dozen Filipinas standing about. I asked for coffee and got a blank stare from three of them. Now even in China and Japan if you request coffee, there is an 80% or better chance they will bring it to you immediately.

DC does not, to my knowledge, have a pool. I walked into the place a while back (after they re-opened) to inquire as to why they never responded to my email inquiries, to be told "Just you call us sir". The convention room, where breakfast is served, is fairly nice. The breakfast was buffet. Not a huge selection, but the food was warm and good. Having said that about the convention room, the rest of the hotel is a decade late in renovation. This was never anything more than one of the 2- or 3-star places in CDO. Probably Mallberry and Pryce would be a step up (Pryce has a pool). Luxe (assuming they complete their gym) and Ceda would be the next step up, closer to Dusit-level (and considerably newer), both with pools. Breakfast and the restaurant at Luxe were top-end. Luxe had a p3300 promo previously. Currently they are running a p4400 promo for the deluxe room (queen bed, plenty of room, nice bathroom, table / chairs, couch, wall-ceiling mirror, nice view) that is normally 5500. Ceda is running 4000 for the same type of room. I'm a bit surprised either one of these places exist in CDO. Kong?

From the website: http://limketkailuxe.com/accommodations/.

Our superior guest rooms are perfect for single or twin sharing with a queen-sized bed with goose down feather pillows and 300-thread count linen. This room is furnished elegantly with a 48 LED TV with cable channels, coffee/tea-making facilities, mini-bar, toilet & bath with tub, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, desk phone and an electronic safety deposit box.

I went with a plate to the buffet table. Fried eggs were on a large plate stacked on top of each other. They were ICE FUCKING COLE AT 06:45 am! I then tried the rice. It was in SOLID BLOCKS. So fucking hard you could use them for a pickup game of Baseball. Would need a hammer and a chisel to get at them! The rest of the food looked inedible, except for the toast piled on a plate. I went to this and found the toast was as fucking hard as leather! Same chisel would be required here!.

As no human being should have to dine on eggs cole. Or breakfast panini. Re-group.

Your description of the terrible breakfast at Malberry, DS, brought back my nightmares regarding my very worst breakfast ever at the Malberry. I still don't get it. Why would all those Filipinos who can afford 4000 P plus, put up with that crap? I guess the answer is that it just adds to all the other crap they put up with in this seriously flawed country.

I looked the the Staff of young waitresses standing around DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I yelled to them and they looked at me like they had never seen a shite man before! They ALL SIMPLY IGNORED ME!

I finally gave up and headed down to the lobby and ate breakfast paninis and drank coffee from the Café. Cost me a good P500 for a couple cups of coffee and two paninis but at least I could eat this. I spoke to the Hotel GM, Stella once again concerning the breakfast. Got a "I will look into this" reply. Sort of what I got when asking why the swimming pool was ONCE AGAIN UNAVAILABLE! And NO, the pool was clean and empty in the middle of the day when people would like to use it! No Group was in the Hotel or likely to be showing up at any time to "take over" the poo.

My best time in CDO was when I met Melody, former dancer at Fantastic Club (different name now). She was 21, beautiful and had an awesome body. She had five sisters at home, all gorgeous. Sadly, all of them were hell bent on making certain that their lives would be ruined. The 20 year old was pregnant and her Piece of Shit Filipino boyfriend was living (freeloading) with them. She gave birth a couple months later. Shortly before she gave birth her boyfriend got pissed off and beat her.

Her beautiful sisters, age 18 and 19 were both attending college. A few months later I heard that both were pregnant! In each case, the Piece of Shit Filipino Boyfriend had ranoff to leave her alone to give birth and see are for the baby. Her other sister had just turned 16 and was already 5 months' pregnant. Something happened and she lost the baby (most likely due to no money for prenatal care). A few months' later I heard that she was once again pregnant by a new, Piece of Shit Filipino Boyfriend (first one ran off as soon as he heard she was pregnant).

Fortunately, I never saw the Family again. A young infant in the "house" and three (3) young women to give birth around the same time, all with no father to help support the baby. And if you saw the pathetic shack in which the Family lived you would bee brough to tears. First time I was there I had to step outside to "re-group". No human being should have to live in such a manner. And then they had an infant baby added and soon, three more newborn babies.
