Tipping a deserving working girl generates a positive reciprocal response the next time I go to that particular bar. The girls talk and I like being the beneficiary of that talk when I tip generously in the ballpark of 300p to 500p for really good service. It is well worth it the next time I enter that bar and everybody bends over backwards to see I am taken care of. I give no tip for BS or perfunctory service.

Posts: 251This tipping discussion is endless.
Just tip what you feel the service provider deserves. They have done a good job? Tip them, otherwise don't tip them.
I apply this simple rule in any country regardless what the local habits are.
Don't feel like you need to keep up with the Joneses, Habibs and Kim Chungs in the tipping department. Some of these guys drop 4000 peso tips and I really question what value they get for this largesse. Want to feel like Donald Trump for a day? OK. Nice treatment next time you are in town? Perhaps, but keep in mind average "tour of duty" for an AC hooker is 6 months or less. The turnover of girls is very high. When I visit an AC bar I see no faces I recognise. All new arrivals, been there 3 months or less. Career prostitutes are a rare kind of woman, most girls will try it for a few months, get sick of it quickly, and leave. So next time you come, the girl you tipped 4000 will simply not be there, long gone elsewhere.

Something that bothers me more than the argument here about how much to tip the girls. And that is: right here in my westernized country, there are good folk who are so hooked into the tipping culture, that they believe that one MUST tip a service provider, no matter how poor the service. My former dates, one of my sisters (yet not the other sisters, one of whom is a former waitress) , and my mother are hooked into this belief. At times receiving the worst service and / or food you can possibly imagine, they get mad at me when I don't leave a tip. While visiting my parents a few months ago in my (large) hometown, I took them to dinner one night. My mother had heard of a neat new restraunt we wanted to try. She made a reservation for the three of us at 8pm. Once there, they asked us to wait in the bar and have a drink. 40 minutes later they took us to our table. Ten minutes later they brought menus. My dad kept dozing off. Ten minutes later we ordered. Thirty minutes later the food came. Dad's steak was underdone and cold. They brought my mom chicken (she ordered fish). My meal was fine. With drinks and tax, $96. Mom looked over the bill and said to add a $20 tip. I paid with my CC and left no tip. While my parents were getting ready to leave I ran to the can. I saw the waitress on the way back and told her briefly why I wasn't leaving a tip."Ya its fine. We're really busy tonight. Very sorry." Mistakes made:
* Reservation 8pm. Didn't get any food until 9:30.
* Spent 10 minutes without seeing a menu. A no-no in the restaurant biz.
* Food cold. Wrong food. Food must be re-warmed and re-ordered.
* Could not flag down waitress. Nearly non-existent most of the time.
* After clearing the table of plates, another 15 minutes before the bill came. Showed up at 8pm, didn't leave until after 10:30pm. Poor dad, slept through parts of it.
A few minutes after driving away from the restaurant, mom asked how much tip I left on my CC. Zero mom. She was fairly steamed with that."You should leave her SOMETHING. Its tempting to tell you to turn the car around so I can go give her something." Abso-fucking-lutely amazing. If the waitress was fine with not getting a tip, you got to ask: what's up my mom's butt? To cut my lovin' mom some slack, she grew up in the depression and she knows austerity. You see this in AC sometimes (or here on the board). Some guy says,"Ya she starfished on my then ran out after the first pop after agreeing to stay all night. Said she had to get home to her son. So I only tipped her 300 instead of my usual 1000." Jesus.

Posts: 413Thank you Westcoast1 for answering my question about current prices. I gather that the rates in AC are as in Cebu in that they include both the barfine and the fee for the girl, correct?

Well I was reading the forum and I saw a lot of opinions on tipping and I decided to throw in my two cents. First of all to each his own, I don't care whether you are a tipper or not. But when in Rome if you want to do as Romans, let's be clear on one point.
Tipping is not customary in the Philippines. Philippines is not a "tipping" country there are a few Filipinos who practice it. For example, a more affluent Filipinos is expected to tip if he is very critical and difficult to please, then greater "compensation" is expected than the norm by those who serve him.
As I am not an affluent Filipino who is difficult to please. My tipping policy is to give the hoes a tip on where the closest Jeepney is located for them to get home safely. No more, no less. The price we agreed is the price they get. I don't recognize or understand the term tipping when in the Philippines because I do as the romans do, that is the none affluent romans. LOL

2) True-same here.
3) I also try to feed her before the deed but never breakfast as I never get up early enough the next day after a nite of bonking.
4) If service was standard anywhere else in Phil (outside of AC) , I usually give 200p as things cost more.
5) Don't know about most guys but I have RARELY given tips over 300 for any LT service. 100-200 seems to be my normal range.
Before anyone thinks I don't tip enough, just for the record, many of them wants me to repeat.

Posts: 1Great to write here
Great days everyone,
I am starting to be lucky to have a chance again to write back even with different name. Since I was in US and now back to Arab country where this website is blocked. Lucky me.
I am planning to visit AC for view days between my trip to Indonesia. I was reading from page 1 until 50 so far to have more information so I can do my homework reading before I post this.
I will be there at the End of Jan and just want to write from now until my both trips and sure more and more.
Take care guys and wish you all best.

0. 300 based on service. I have in the past sent girls home even without trike money.
500 if I want to repeat.
Up to 1000 for exeptional service, regulars, etc. I tend to be demanding LOL
I buy food before the deed, drinks if I decide to barhop a bit more and keep her in tow. If she stays (most of them them do) until late afternoon the next day then branch is usually on me too.
ST. I usually give trike money plus a hundred or trike money only. ST in AC from Santos is usually good, I can't remember ever not tipping something.

I find in the Philippines things can be very superficial and those that flaunt usually do have a great time.
I have had a great time and flaunt nothing.
Either way I can understand.
I however DO have a tremendous amount of respect for mongers who are true to the "game" and understand that its just pussy.
