Streetlooker, good reports.

Did the masseuses have to wear special PPE uniforms? Wear hand gloves? Face masks?

Took a walk around fields area about 2 hrs ago. Nothing really new to report. Phillies and Envy have guys on the rail drinking beers not much else open really. Fields blocked both ends again and Santos street entry point. Small walk way thru there but I think you have to live on the street to go thru. I didn't push it just a guess. Walked Santos to c Surla to MacArthur then back up Johnny st. Then back to Phillies Envy Corner of Raymond st. Walk Teodoro st also back up perimeter. Few more Massage Places open tried a totally new massage place I never been walked in saw a girl I knew worked at another place farther down the road I been to a few times. She remember me so we had a good session, Happy ending cause she knew me. 350 for 1 HR 650 for the happy Was 500). But I Just gave her a 1000 said keep it. I might go back tomorrow again so I want to keep her happy to see me. On the streets not much out there still there some girls but still nothing you would want unless you like shabu addicts and baklas. Rumors and things are places are waiting to open but need to be inspected 1st so I figure we get 3-5 new places open daily has they get the inspections done. Lots of guys talkin Next Friday for a Feilds grand opening they have to inspect every business on the street before they can all open. Guess we see what's up then.

Covid cases went UP by over 400 today (biggest jump for a while) so suddenly the DoH is reconsidering things.

Even 660 today.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with but whatever!

I think that anyone outside the PH who is trying to predict what will happen in the future (and when) based on what you're reading in the media is trying to do the impossible.

Covid cases went UP by over 400 today (biggest jump for a while) so suddenly the DoH is reconsidering things. I think your "backward steps" just came into play.

I live here in the middle of it and I certainly wouldn't try to predict anything for tomorrow let alone next week or next month.

RK,

The only thing I was disagreeing with was that local news and events not being relevant to those outside the country. As I said, many like myself are keenly reading your and others reports so we can gauge if the situation is improving / deteriorating. I'd agree that this can't be used for split second trip planning but it gives a rough indication of how far away we are. The reintroduction of ECQ and the increased case reports certainly don't inspire confidence.

Keep up your informative reports and please stay safe.

Cheers. G.

RK,

With respect, I disagree. The opening of AC and the Philippines will not be an on or off switch. It will be a gradual process including some backward steps.

It's open, but as noted, doesn't mean much if you can't get there: https://youtu.be/IFkyIKDH0F0.

As has been said by many people before: bars being open is relevant ONLY for those already in PH (Manila / AC / Subic....

It appears the girls are reading your posts too. 😁.

Yesterday, I asked a girl if she was ok with hookups and her immediate reply was to ask how exactly are we going to hookup if I can't enter the Philippines until next year. 😁.

Enjoy. G.

With no inward international flights happening for a long time yet for anyone not using a PH passport or a 13 A visa it is a "moot point".

Many mongers' leave, funding and flights also have a lead time. Hence, how the steps in the recovery process are proceeding is very relevant even though we are likely to remain at home for many months.

PS. My original post was more additional information to DG's than an invitation to others to head over next week.

Enjoy. G

I am sure guys outside the Philippines are still happy to here updates on the ground. If I was out of country I would still want to know what's the latest on the ground updates.

AC bars may be opening soon to 30% capacity. Hours will be limited to 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Inspections will have to be conducted prior to reopening. More guidelines to follow like social distancing and blab blab blab.

Oppa a Korean restaurant on walking street is open now with a few others opening soon. Walking street has now been unblocked. Yes 30% capacity But I am not sure if that means employees will count or not in the buildings capacity setting. If a place has a 100 person capacity setting and 10 workers then they can have 20 customers in the place at a time. This has to increase in short time I would think to at least 50%. Bars with 100 capacity limits and 20 girls, mamas, Dj bartenders, and managers can have 10 customer at a time BUT maybe they can cheat that and have employees working door outside the place girls on breaks go outside to take breaks Can the DJ, and auto play the music to fit in more customers who knows what kinda rule loopholes will be tried. Also can't wait to see if they have a plastic sheet wall with girls behind it like a window or girls can't sit with you for a drink without a barrier between you and her. I am not going out tonight. I am Beat. But tomorrow Night I will go down 6 pm check out the happenings and make a field report. Did see freelancers out again today but like yesterday nothing you want to touch. Bakla and old ladies looking for glue or shabu money. Didn't see that cute girl from yesterday thou I was looking. Got another massage today, Legit again no happy. Seems I am unlucky now 2 days in a row But maybe they just nervous and scared to offer yet fear of being shut down again when they just got back open.

If online is a guide the girls have received word of the pending opening and are heading in. There are lots of recent arrivals / returnees on the usual sites, all eager for business.

We will have to wait and see. The worst case scenario is someone A whom is clean boards the flight in Doha and is assigned a seat near to a Covid positive person be. Somehow A contracts it on the flight but the airport arrival swab test just 8 hours later will be negative for A. Even be doesn't get a good swab and tests negative. Both get shipped off to the provinces. We've all seen how flexible any regime is in Ph. We really don't know if this will be corruptible or any different.

Took a walk around the fields ave general area and seen plenty of freelancers walking about looking for business. Bakla mostly or nothing I would consider above a 5 in looks. I did see one cute girl that said Hi to me but I had shit to do looking for a massage place that's open. There is a few of those now open on teodoro (Got a Legit massage only, no extras were available.) but will look for her again next week when I get out to monger. Its a start I guess. Rumor has it Phillies, Envy and some other bars can serve alcohol so maybe the freelancer scene will pick up with some better lookers walking around. Don't know where you conduct business thou cause I have no clue if the ST hotels are opening. Slowly getting to monger again near fields.

I am not sure how that works, it is my understating that test results take 48 hours to return.
