I liked coming in on a Wednesday or Thursday pre-Covid as Mondays and Tuesdays were getting so bad on who was showing up to work. Wednesdays weren't great but still better. Liked to see what is somewhat available in the bars.

Posts: 546Thank you for the report
Thank you! It's not easy to get a report like that on the different forums. I'm getting excited and looking forward to hearing the first arrivals how it goes with immigration.

Posts: 812The vax cards and Temperature checks seem to be backing off, last night no questions asked on the Perimieter bars but I would still maintain a copy of vax documentation just to avoid conflict. It seems that they want to relax a lot but remember where you are. Especially as a tourist. They might be a little more relaxed on the rules but remember the cops need their shakedown money. Make sure you have a facemask, otherwise have 1000 pesos to avoid going to the barangay hall.

Posts: 1Entry requirements Philippines
As most of you know inbound tourists "just" need a PCR test, vaccination proof and travel insurance to enter the Philippines. This is what most sources say. However, when searching flights at Skyscanner I randomly found out that you need 2 more documents: E-Health declaration card and Case investigation Form (both done online). Skyscanner also says you need to download a special app for tracking. If this is true, then travelling to the Philippines would be at least as hard as to Thailand.
So Gentlemen, let me ask you a question: Do we really need those documents? There are hardly any information about this, so I hope some experienced guys here can clarify.

Posts: 53A couple of photos
Here is a couple of photos from Walking street, one looking up and the other looking down the street. Obviously the street is quitter than pre-COVID times due to lack of tourists, but it's looking better than last year, you can also see that many folks bar hopping forget to put their face mask on on that street.

Posts: 53Angeles Update
I finally made it up to Angeles and I am happy to report that the place is not that far off normal in terms of venues being open.
I was there last October and December and back then I would say that about 50% of the bars / clubs on Walking Street were closed, a rough estimate I would say that its now back to about 70% open, the exception being any type of night club obviously can't open and some of the venues are still closed. There has been a fair bit of name changing, I am guessing this is down to somewhere going bust and new ownership. But overall there are enough bars open on Walking street to keep most of this forms readers happy if you want to do some drinking while looking at beautiful ladies and have the option to take them home.
Some bars have even upped their game with the likes of Lollypop now having a "interesting" show that attracts a good crowd about 7 pm.
Bar fines are around 3.5 K, and there is no shortage of ladies.
There is a group of bars which includes Lollipop, that are part of a "wolfpack" which means you can buy a "wolfpack" card and you get a 20% discount on drinks when you show the card, the card will cost about 1-2 K (sorry I can't remember exactly how much it is), and then you need to work out for yourself, if it is worth it or not.
COVID Stuff. I had no problem driving up from Manila to Angeles (no checkpoints), so anyone taking that route should be fine. You will be asked to show vaccine proof when going to the Malls, and you should be asked to do the same for going to bars, but I wasn't asked for any proof while going to the bars in walking street. If you are in Manila they seem to be a lot more strict on this. It's safer to have this with you to avoid disappointment.
I did not have any issues taking a lady guest back to my hotel, but it might be worth asking up front as different hotels have different policies.
The liquor ban, wasn't super enforced so I did get tipsy. And some waitress did say on my last night there that they wouldn't have to serve "juices" or "tea" in cups any more. , so I expect this will be dropped by the time tourists are allowed back in on the 10th Feb.
Overall I had a great time in Angeles, it's currently in a lot better shape than Manila, highly recommended and hope those returning with a bad dose of blue balls find an appropriate helping hand to take care of that.

Have taken my AC hotel's private car from NAIA to my AC hotel half a dozen times. Prices were 2500-3000 each way. Took the same hotel car back from the hotel to my Manila hotel once (flying the next day out of NAIA). All of this for convenience.
Regarding Fridays and afternoons. Arrived at NAIA one Friday afternoon and found my AC private car driver at 2 pm. Heavy rain, flooding in the streets, grabe traffic. Tossed my ass into the back seat, told the driver to kill the radio, and went to sleep (tired from 24 hours of travel). Woke up around 5:30 pm, still crawling thru heavy traffic on the north side of Manila. 20 minutes later we finally hit lighter traffic and movement was good. Had to have the driver stop at the McDo strip mall area halfway up the highway to pee. Bought him and me some burgers and we continued the trip. Arrival at my hotel was 7:30 pm, more than 5 hours. I missed most of the traffic nightmare while asleep. For this "Never know how traffic and rain will be" reason, I don't travel from my AC digs to NAIA, I always spend a night in Manila near the airport. This also gives me a chance to have a planned last evening and morning hammer with one of my known hornies in Manila.
Another time I arrived at NAIA at 11 pm. Quickly passed thru Immigration and found my private car driver. Was at my AC hotel around 1:30 am. About 2 hours driving, almost no traffic.

Then they are advertised the paradoxical lie that if only they eat diet food their weight problem will be solved.
Then, too, daily and chronic consumption of San Mig & Tanduay won't help through a about of Covid either.
Perhaps the biggest at risk group are the oldies whose age has compromised their immune system.
Now these at risk groups probably don't generate a lot of sympathy. Why should we turn our planet upside to take care of people who don't take care of themselves and the elderly who are on their way out anyway? Yeah, it's a tempting argument but we human beings look after each other. It is what separates us from just about every other species. It is just the way we are. Right now we have the urge to run down to the PI and fuck and fuck, and I hope you all do, but just put it in perspective.
