Angeles City

[WestCoast1]

The biggest issue is finding girls. First there are not enough girls and when you start to remove the ugly girls, drink only girls, korean only girls, I'm on my period girls, asking way too much girls, want to leave too soon girls you going to end up with like 2 fuckable girls in the whole city and by the time you find one of those 2 fuckable girls you already been to 6 bars and bought 10 drinks and 5 LD don't forget to add that to the cost of the barfine.

With the re-opening about a year ago, I was going off the new inbound reports at the time. FG and MM were having a great time. Mask rules in AC were already pretty much forgotten. At the same time the re-opening was happening in NRC / Burgos, and the gents didn't seem to take to the stricter NCR rules. My recommendation was for everyone to just go to AC and get their rocks off, regardless of the issues stated by BC above. Even with the issues above, and having been there last year, I think the point-and-shoot gents need to make a simple decision:

1) Pay p10 k for a Burgos LT. There are few issues with Burgos girls, as they receive the bulk of their payment from the tip in the morning; keeping the customer happy is important. Or.

2) Pay p5 k up-front for an AC girl and hope she doesn't run (or give you other BS in the room about a condom, or no BJ, don'tCIP, or such). Or.

3) Tinder (which is not point-and-shoot, as you can not feel her up or ogle her like you can a bargirl).

4) Get thee to Thailand.

I used to stay in manila and find good looking, extremely low mileage girls on tinder for free and all it takes is a couple of nice dinner dates. And those girls are low maintenance and extremely horny once you get them. Like you can get 6 pops a day bareback with your new girlfriend and if you do the math that will cost you at least 25 k a day in the bars if we assume you will get 2 pops out of each girl.

SIX? Sana all!

Disclaimer: I have not been to AC in quite a few years, so definitely not an expert there anymore.

I will be rolling past DAU on my way northward next week, and thought I would stop buy and hang for a day or two to drink with old buddies. At least that was the thought, so I gave them a call to see how are things. To my surprise they said BF's are now 4 K except for the 8 K ones that cater to the koreans. I said interesting, but I am okay with that as I have always been able to find what I want regardless. I was told that bars open at 10 in the morning (korean owned). I said great, I usually start my rounds at noon anyway. I was also told that the Koreans rent private villas now, and have private vans that roll in at 10 and cherry pick the girls back to there private villas to party, so by noon the crowds been thinned out.

Times sure have changed.

I think this has peaked my interest a little bit. Getting more tempted to stop by now.

As a follow on from my very well received post on 28.2. 23 titled never visited which gave a Guide for those that have never visited Angeles but have thought of visiting but not sure what to expect well here is the follow up with a few more thoughts.

I agree with everything you said %100. I no longer think angeles city is a good option for mongering anymore if you are going for two weeks holiday.

Thailand is a much better option as there are way more working girls in thailand and more venues to find girls. There are BJ and massage parlors, online, bars, freelancers. I can easily find a girl anytime of the day without having to deal with the bars. I can go to a massage shop, pick a girl pay 3500 peso /2000 baht and fuck her without having to buy her a drink and convince her to have sex with me like with the broken bar system. The cost is for p4 p is very similar to angeles but its easier to get. The food, transportation and accommodation are cheaper on average in thailand and the quality is high. I assume we all agree on how bad the food in the philippines is.

But if you are a younger guy staying for a month or longer and you are willing to invest in dating civilian girls no other country can match the philippines. I used to stay in manila and find good looking, extremely low mileage girls on tinder for free and all it takes is a couple of nice dinner dates.

I'll also write some reports (if there's anything noteworthy related to this forum's topic) about my other destinations in the Philippines: Makati, Siargao, Camiguin, and Cebu.

I'd be interested in real time info on Siargo and Camiguin.

Thanks.

LOL. Yes, it's incredulous you can recognize the girls from 12-years ago from a tiny photo! There were only a few thousand bar girls back then. Despite your frequent negativity, I think most mongers are having a great time in Angeles city. There still something for everyone.

Ever heard of enlarging the photos in zoom mode, guess not.

Can still remember some of the girls faces all the way back over 27 years so not sure what your point is, maybe you spend your trips in a drunken stupor rendering memory impossible and choice of girl quality much higher than reality.

As per the almost non existence of western mongers to Angeles city over the last year it seems that most have voted with their feet not to visit anymore as many have recently stated, so much for a girl for everyone in Angeles.

Gorrion update us when you get there with a solid Field Report.

Don't forget to check out Lollipop Bar. Details please.

Of course, I'll do it.

I plan on writing reports during the day about what I did the night before, since I assume I won't be doing much else besides chilling at the hotel pool. But we got to wait until July when I'm going (I know it's still far away, but I love preparing for trips almost as much as the trip itself).

I'll also write some reports (if there's anything noteworthy related to this forum's topic) about my other destinations in the Philippines: Makati, Siargao, Camiguin, and Cebu.

I'd like to thank why'all for your responses and info.

Counting down the days until my vacation starts!

[Engine Driver]

Thanks for the photos and the good memories.

Recognize some of the girls and definitely remember the girls had a time of wearing the white Hawaiian outfits.

At a guess I would date these photos at being around the year 2010.

Have to fully agree with your good self that Angeles has changed so much in the last years and easy to see why the old guard have such a torrid time in accepting what Angeles has become.

Still, for those that lived the Angeles golden years we still have our memories to fall back on.

Enjoy.

P.S. I certainly have used Cheap Charlie Transport in the past but it's been when I'm in no hurry and already know the lay of the land.

An airport taxi might quote you p500 ($10), and then dicker down to p400 or p300. Or maybe he won't. Is it worth the dickering down to save a few dollars?

I also look at the number of steps in the cheapest ride: the Jeepney ride is actually walk well outside the terminal, past all the sprinklers offering to "assist" you in to their car, find the right Jeep; get the price; ride to SM after 10 other passengers are ready; find a honest 😊 trike; set prices; enjoy the bounce bounce ride to your hotel (good luck if you're a fully grown adult); collapse asleep for a couple of hours to recover from the heat, vibration, noise and dust. For some it's worth the money saved. Others see the multiple opportunities for that intended savings to disappear in over charging, lost time or general heartache.

I've got my preferences but, as usual, each to their own.

Enjoy. G.

A hotel car is indeed the most expensive but, for a 15 minute trip, the premium would be pretty small. Some find that worth paying for the piece of mind and door to door service to exactly where you want to go.

Why do so many people going to PI overthink everything? Prices are dirt cheap regardless of what you choose. Is a $1.00 difference in transportation really an issue?

Spot on. Paying a taxi or hotel-arranged car will run you $5-$10. If you are flying into a new city or airport where you don't have experience, it doesn't make sense to go cheap. The hotel guy will be waiting for you outside holding a sign with your name on it. He is the fastest and simplest route to your hotel front desk, and hence the ladies. An airport taxi might quote you p500 ($10), and then dicker down to p400 or p300. Or maybe he won't. Is it worth the dickering down to save a few dollars? Bahala ka. Pay up and get to the objective (the nearly unlimited poon you are already getting at a discount).

Edited to add: Late last year a mate msg'd me saying that the Clark airport does not allow Joyride or Angkas motorcycles into the airport. You will need to walk your backpack outside the main gate of the airport to pick up a moto-taxi.

The cheapest would be a Jeepney. They definitely go to Dau so I'm assuming there is still an SM Mall option too. With a small back pack, that's reasonably convenient to Walking Street.

If you want to go further away, I'd just grab an airport taxi.

Thanks for your info. The night before, I'll be in Cebu at Mango Square area, so it all depends on how much fun I have there and how tired I am.

[Goferring]

My definition of "best" would be a mix between cheap price and comfort. Honestly, I've never bothered organizing hotel pickup because it's usually the most expensive option. I prefer to save some money on transportation so I can spend it on beer or hooking up with girls (not necessarily in that order).

I've read that there are moto taxis in Cebu that can take you from the airport to the center. Are there any in Clark too? (I'm traveling with a small backpack).

That's was the old Clark airport. Clark has a new modern airport now, style after the Cebu airport. A friend of mine told me she had trouble getting a ride from there as the airport is not very busy. Maybe you better arrange transport in advance.

Well, I'll be arriving in Clark very early in the morning (07:00). I hope I don't have any issues finding transportation to AC.
