Hi people,
My first post here. I am visiting Butuan this october and would like information on the scene there. Hotel is book and flight. Just information on the clubs and freelancers. Much appriciated and will post reports on this city when I get back for the future traverler. I know there is lots of universitys and many girls from CDO and others go there to study, Can any one tell me when the term for the semister starts is it late September ot October, I think the last term is from end of June to September!
Thanks
Porty,
My contact in Butuan, who I unfortunately didn't have time to meet on the last trip, tells me that final exams for the current semester are in mid-October. This is followed by a short break. Then in late October/early November there's a registration period for the next semester. Students have to be around for a lot of this time. Classes then start around November 8th or so. So if you get there in October you will have timed things well to harvest some needy co-eds. Even after classes start there are various fees to be paid well into November.
Sorry to say that this girl saw to it that I had no need to go out mongering and find out about clubs there. But any town the size of Butuan will have the usual KTV/Stripping Hostess joints. Quality and value will vary of course.
Thanks for the information! i have found a lpcal disco its called Big Joe's ! got thid from a friend of a friend, cos i asked where they go to dance! so it should be worth a visit to pick up the college girls who are celibrating there exams and trying to forget that they have problems with money.
New Tip: Just for the tip my ex girlfriend in Cebu Lapu Lapu called to day! i have got her to get an appartment for my stay and she thinks she will move in after i leave Ha Ha, But the good news is its only costing me 6000 pesos a month! A lot cheaper than hotels. So guys here's a new tip get some one you can trust to get an appartment the cost is nothing compared to a hotle and you have everything except air con ! A new way of having you own Fuck shack! Who cares what happens to the appartment when you leave its in her name!

Who cares what happens to the appartment when you leave its in her name![/QUOTE]Isnt that kinda cold leaving her to pay all the utility bills and rent,Shouldnt you at least cover the rent and the ulitilities YOU used during your stay,then bail
Of course you do that! you pay then next months and leave some for electricity but its still a cheap way of staying away from the cost of hotels. As you know and i know from last trip of 4 weeks at 50% discount it still cost me around 90,000 pesos at Crown Regency Princeville Villes im Lapu Lapu.
Also this way you can do many side trips with out paying for a room that you are not using, cos your away for only a night or 2.
Sorry Cebu Local as i know your in the hospitality bussiness, and this is not good for you ! He He He ! Dont worry i am sure no many poeple will do it this way, after 5 visits this will be my first time i am trying this ok. I will let the board no of the pro's and con's of this idea.

I will let the board no of the pro's and con's of this idea.Actually thats a good idea and I know the owner of Crown Regency and he did not give you the best rate,Good for you but Hotels also have monthly rates,Try asking for them good luck
I did not meet the owner but his son was there. I know Boli Bolton ( big south african man) who was overseeing the project. Yes your correct some did get down to 1700 pesos per night, mine at 2400 peso per night was a good rate considering I got to pick the room that I wanted and was the first guest to stay in the room as you know it only started opperations last November.
Maybe you can help me on another qestion Cebu Lover!
I like advernture and always trying to think up new ways of mongering!
Instead of flying i thought about taking a ferry boat to Cebu from manila in October 2005!
As the girls that cant afford to fly will take the ferry ! My theory is that they might need some ready cash and I will be the man !
Qestions are any disco entertainment on board and what is the better ferry to take!!
Been reading all back posts, i used to read from the whorists but find its out of date as he is getting older. This board is a great asset and hope to help others with my experience as well as learn from all the other guys experience.
Keep you advice and thoughts coming , even if you dont get the thanks from some of the guys you have mibe today!

Yes,You can get layed on the boats,just invite the girls staying in "steerage" or economy to share your cabin,It beats sharing a dormitory with 200 people.Bollie is another character.He is legend on the Burgos Bars.He likes his women like his Coffee Hot,Dark and Sweet.Stick with WG&A Marconista is in the maritime industry and knows his stuff,I will defer to hime in this area.Happy Hunting.
Bollie is another character.He is legend on the Burgos Bars.He likes his women like his Coffee Hot,Dark and Sweet.
Yes he also like his red wine, cos i bring it from australia for him! Very good man in my opinion.
Stick with WG&A Marconista is in the maritime industry and knows his stuff,I will defer to hime in this area.Happy Hunting.[/QUOTE]Yes received information from Marconista, but he mentioned super ferry's with their site. So What is WG&A?
Still nobody has been able to tell me if they have a disco or bar on board to mingle and check out the talent!
Thanks Cebu Local.
Just another Question this idea of appartment is slowley costing more, Where can i buy or hire a second habd fridge! as just found out it does not have one. But will go through with the idea just to get a different way of doing things. also when i am their i might bargin with landlord and take it for a year, cos it still will be cheaper for a year than a month at the Crowne Regency!

I heard that "someone" got a txt from the housekeeper that another "someone" sent home. Apparantly, after a celibate servient year, that maid "met someone" on the boat and was texting with a big smile attached. Once she learned how to dress she was cute too (if you like thin), but I had to keep my distance here, though it would have been easy as much as it would have been stupid to play this close.
So yeah, close encounters are indeed rumoured to happen on boats. I've never had one, but then I've never taken a boat here, so far. That particular report was Pinay-Pinoy, so you could contemplate the additional attraction a foreigner might pose. Just be careful, di ba? Some hard up more "local" set of dudes might get jealous and it's a LONG swim to shore.

I will shortly be coming to Manila and staying in the Alabang area. Is there any place nearby, where I can get some action and or sensual massage. Will apreaciate any information.
This may be a little late for the original poster, but I might as well provide the perspective for anyone who needs it in future.
Alabang is just just past Las Pinas (which is south of Metro Manila), on the way to Laguna. I can think of 3 faces to Alabang ...
1/ Rich subdivisions (local execs, politicians, and some foreigners)
2/ Festival Mall and Alabang Town Center Mall complexes
3/ You don't want to go to the other parts, mostly squatters areas. That includes metro-whatever mall unless you really dress down and don't take anything you don't want to lose.
If in Alabang, I'd suggest forget trying girls in the malls; if they're *there* then they aren't likely to be interested in your money. Maybe you can charm them, but I get the NorthAmerican feel there so I wouldn't bother.
Take a jeep or an FX a few minutes up towards SM South Mall. You'll see a few Kareoke-ish clubs, mostly on the right and I think one or two on the left. I've never checked them out, but I've heard rumours it's the "usual", so go for it. If you find a companion, I've noticed advertising for a new "EuroTel" with deep opening discounts across from SM SouthMall.
Or, you could go just a bit further - there's a few seedy videoke bars around the market area across from Pure Gold supermarket. You might be a hit (as long as no one dislikes you) there. Or, you can head up into Las Pinas proper a few more km, and find a veritable slew of bars etc.
Beyond that, you could go left into Zapote and into Cavite, or up the coastal road to Manila. All this is normally within an hour or less of Alabang. We're not even mentioning venturing into side streets and the more rural areas. Don't do that unless you're very comfortable, know at least enough tagalog to have conversations with locals, and/or have good protection at your side. There's also a way to take a jeep from somewhere around SM over to Paranaque (where you will find lots of other not-so-safe-for-strangers bars), but I'd be hard put to find that without going for a walk myself to hunt for it. I did that once but it's not easy to find.
You can speak english in the upscale and mall parts of Alabang. Anywhere else around there short of metro Manila and I urge you to be able to order your "yum-may-cheese" in Taglish at Jollibee - they will expect you to. (Which reminds me of a very yummy Jollibee girl, but that's a whole different story!)
So yeah, close encounters are indeed rumoured to happen on boats. I've never had one, but then I've never taken a boat here, so far. That particular report was Pinay-Pinoy, so you could contemplate the additional attraction a foreigner might pose. Just be careful, di ba? Some hard up more "local" set of dudes might get jealous and it's a LONG swim to shore.
Thanks for the advice! So i will take a ski rope with me in case they throw me overboard! that way i can bare foot ski all the way to Cebu, Ha Ha
I promise to write a full report on this trip. Just in case any others might want to try something different.
The price if you book return ticket, with meals, in suite ( 2 people allowed) for the one price. is around 10,000 peso's. It takes 23 hours, so if you take 2 nights at hotel 5000 peso's off you are left with a trip from manila to cebu , back to manila for 5000 peso's about the same for flying.
The difference have you ever tried to pick up and join the mile high club on a plane?? Also you have restaruants, Bars, disco, as well as the ferry i am catching has a swimming pool.
So what girl would'ny like to saty in suite with bath, than in dormatory style bedding.?? none I HOPE!!!!
Dont worry i do this on the 17th of october this year ! so will post report very soon.

I noticed there is little or no info here on Boracay so I thought I would post the little bit I know from being here the past 2 days. I also read another post that recommended mongers bring a girl here from Manila as there is no action here, but I would only second that if you had to be with the super model types that are 9s and 10s in looks (and charge for that status as well).
Although certainly not as busy with action as Manila or Angeles, there is still action here on or around White Beach. Even though it is still low season, there are several girls (mostly 5-7s in looks) that hang out on White Beach across from the Regency Resort near boat station 2 and The Wake night club. They will quickly quote you absurd tourist prices (3000 - 3500 pesos for Long Time) but I always laugh and you can easily get the price down to Manila Prices (say 1800 - 2000 LT). My first night I found a very energetic 19 year old there that was a 7 in looks and was up to 3 rounds (the last 2 she initiated) and also open to numerous naughty pics (it seems like pretty much all the working girls are in Phillipines though as long as they are faceless). I'll post some pics in a week or so after I return home.
There are also some girls that hang around Hey Jude and Summer Place after around 11PM. On Friday night, there were actually several cuter ones (7s and a few 8s) around the entrance to Summer Place (some at tables, some out in front) from midnight on. I saw some 9s inside but I do not know if they were working there in Borocay, or had come down with the Western guys they were with.
Also, one need only stroll down that stretch between Hey Jude and Summer Place and back to be propositioned by any number of the girls (be careful as there are also more than a few Lady Boys lurking about).
It seems like all the places to stay in Boracay will allow female guests, although I do not know for certain about the high end places with door guards (but I imagine so since this place really caters to tourists). I am staying at Villa Sambrosa (formerly GPs) and I have a clean and fairly modern room w/ air-con, warm water, fridge, 2 large beds and cable TV for 1000 pesos a night (negotiated down from 1200).
If you have any additional info to add on Boracay, feel free to speak up.
Happy Hunting
[Additional note: I noticed on Saturday night that there were more guards and cops out and the SW traffic seemed to be much lower plus there were no ladies stationed across from Regency. Still there were a number around the entrance of Summer Place and still a few strolling up and down the walk between boat station 3 and 2, but I suspect the better looking ones were snatched up earlier as the pickings were slim after midnight so I declined. On the plus side, the band at Summer Place was awesome with excellent Marley, Sublime and other 80s/90s covers.]
[Additional note2: Sunday night was pretty dead. There were still a fair amount of guards out so not so many SWs. About 1AM 8 or 10 pretty cute girls showed up at Summer Place, but when I approached 2 of the free ones they separately quoted exhorbitant prices around 3000p short time even though it was already 2AM and they were not sure to get a client. They were surprisingly firm in price and seem to prefer to go home alone than lower it, and their unwillingness to budge turned me off so I stopped trying and decided to save it up for Angeles City where I was headed the next day.]
I stayed there for a couple of nights, pretty nice hotel with big rooms.
First evening I called for a room service massage. Here comes the girl, mid twenties, not really prettey and not really funny either. Did a hell of a good massage though using oil. I did not ask for extra service because i was no attracted at all and she did not offer any. Damage 800 pesos.
Second evening, called for another masseuse. This time came one in her early 30 but more attractive and out going. Massage was not that good but I could feel she was going close to the brothers downstairs which of course made the colonel called for back up.
As soon as she saw I was quite ready for some action she proposed HJ. I asked for more but refused anthing else. I said ok hatever and she gave me one of the best HJ I ever had.
Total damage: 800 pesos + 300 pesos tip.
On the island Mindoro (2 hrs ride + ferry, south of Manila) there is a place called Sabang. There is very good scuba diving and 4 go-go bars. The girls are very young and if you ask them to join you they all stay at your room over night. The girls I saw were working in Manila but went to Sabang to earn "some extra". Their parents knew nothing. The main village on the island is Puerto Galera, but it is very quiet compared to Sabang.
Hi everybody,
A question for Harvey Wb and possibly other people who've been to San Fernando,
I just read that you weren't comfortable going through the San Fernando area. Could you tell me why?
Here's your quote I'm talking about:
"Poro Point, between Bauang and San Fernando is basically all freelancers at night, sitting outside the bars. Never partook, just took a trike through there, trying to get to the old AF Base, I gave up. I'd be careful, wasn't comfortable just passing through."
Because I am planning to live near San Fernando for a while, so I'd like to know if the area is safe. I thought it was, but your post got me doubting, but it didn't give any details why?
Please help before I spend a thousand on a ticket etc, only to be feeling unsafe there. Maybe other people too could advise?
i was in a tryke and the only cano within 10km of the bars at poro (or on they way to poro) point, so i was uncomfortable, no big deal. i was only in dt san fernando, la union, 2x and liked other cities better, but then that's how i felt about mnl and baguio at first.
bauang, la union, just south of san fernando has an american legion post and i assume, a community of expats, so it should be an ok place. there's a restaurant with a "western" meat market and other goodies should be available in the area or up in baguio (30 miles "up", lol, but about 90 minutes by bus). lot's of "resorts" - i liked bali hai, great food, but pass on the mongolian barbeque, the "wok" doesn't seem to get hot enough like some places i've been to in the us, otherwise the food is great.
great massage in baguio, right at the base of session rd, right side of street, 2nd floor in an office building, when i was there last. run by an expat and his cebuana wife, 4 female physical therapists, clinically clean place, great massage and no "hanky-panky", lol. also great coffee (for about 50 pesoes per kg for roasted beans) at the baguio city market, it runs behind the stores on magsaysay, i think. also try cafe by the ruins in burnham park and the cooks inn at the burnham hotel, just off of session rd, about 2 intersections up from the base of session and magsaysay.
good luck.
Ok thanks Harvey, for taking time to advise.
If all goes well I'll add a post with my experiences and observations there, but it will be in a few months.
I will be going to ormoc city early next year to meet a few pen-pals, and will like some information / suggestions regarding accomodations, hunting grounds, go-go bars,open air bars,restaurants.Preferably a hotel with swimming pool and GF.I always read good things in this board about the Leyte ladies(and their oral skills), and will post my findings and experiences.
Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

Just got back from 27 days in the phil and as I visited 5 cities I think I will just post this in the “Other Areas” This was my 5th time and each trip I seem to look forward to more and more. Of course the most painful part is the long international flight with the obligatory change of planes in Tokyo before finally landing in Manila. Unfortunately 4 international flights all landed in the space of 30 min so the immigration lines were horrendous. I waited for 1 hour and 30 min before finally clearing customs and getting my taxi. A quick shower and off to LA Café for my first encounter. While I would admit most of the girls are not 8 or 10 they are plenty cute enough for this guy and it just takes a few San Migs and a little patience to pick a nice one. I always buy them a drink and talk for a while to see if they are sweet and a GFE experience before I take one. Found a 19 yr old cutie named Michelle and off we went. As I was only spending only one night in Manila I took a room at the Amazon Hotel which is just down the street from LA and above the bar. Small rooms but clean and only 1250P for a A/C room. I gave Michelle 1500P and she was pleased and then she pleased me.
In the morning I took a PAL flight to Cagayan de Oro to meet up with an 18 yr old I had met on Filipina Heart and had chatted with and called for over 2 months. I had high hopes for this tall slim Filipina but unfortunately she seemed to be joined at the hip with her greedy family. When she met me at the airport there were her parents, a brother,a sister, two cousins, a grandmother, and two aunts. She said nobody had eaten yet that day so I told them to stop at a restraunt and we would all get acquainted . They stopped at a seaside place and the food was delicious. I expected to pay and they let me..lol.. After dinner they dropped Nina and I off at the Nawaan resort and I thought I was finished with her family and we could enjoy being with each other. Next morning there is a knock on the door and her parents and family are there to say HI. Nina says “ lets go get breakfast” and all agree of course. I didn’t agree to pay for all but guess who the waiter gave the bill too? The only foreigner at the table..lol.. From there the whole experience went downhill. She wanted to go to the mall as I had told her when we chatted that we could do that and I would buy her a shirt or jeans. I said ok lets go but noticed the whole family getting into the multicab. She said they will just go along for the ride. They were all with us at lunch so we all ate together and I paid of course. At the mall her mother told her to buy shirts for the whole family and that’s when I decided enough is enough. I told her mother NO I will buy only Nina clothes. I thought maybe if they were pissed at me they would leave us alone but later they all wanted to go to a movie. I had decided at this point to cut my losses and instead of spending 4 days at the resort with her I would leave. Of course she didn’t understand what the problem was or maybe I didn’t understand how attached some girls are to their families. I gave her 1500p to help ease the pain and said I had to go. Even as I was waiting for the bus to take me to Cagayan de Oro her father tells me that Nina owes him 1000P that she borrowed so she could chat with me. I had had it by then and told him to get it from her as she had borrowed it. Sad thing is that she was sweet and nice but had to have her family involved in everything so it spoiled the whole experience.
Next stop was a stay at the VIP hotel in Cagayan de Oro where I met up with another 18 yr old chat mate who worked at the Central Market selling fish. We spent the weekend together going to the Eco Village and a bus trip to Illigan to see the Maria Christina Falls. She was fun to be with but in a non sexual way. Did not want to do anything but kiss and so after the weekend we parted as friends. I stayed in the city a few more days and went white water rafting which was a great experience. Definitely something fun to do when your not mongering there. I also picked up streetwalkers within a block of the hotel for 500P although they started at 1500. This was my first visit to this city as I usually go to Cebu but I will definitely be going back. It seems to have everything. Nice malls, good food inexpensive hotels and plenty of girls available.
After 4 days there I took the bus to Butuan for yet another meet of a girl I met on Filipina Heart. This one a 19 year old college student. She was nice although the first meeting she had to bring the obligatory aunt and uncle and best friend along so I was having worries she would be like Nina. No worries though as after the dinner they must have all given their approval as we were left alone and we went to Camiguin Island for a day and night. I will say if anyone is looking for a place to be alone with a girl this has some nice resorts and no crowds. In fact it doesn’t have much of anything really. Two dialup internet cafés that are slower than molasses in Jan. No bars, no massage places, no malls. Definitely a BYOB place. For a day trip there you can see some water falls, cold springs, hot springs that you can go for a dip in. A sunken cemetery that has a beautiful cross out in the water. The beaches are not Boracay quality but there is a white sandbar called White Island. After the weekend she went back to school and I took the bus from Butuan to Davao, 10 hours later I was in Davao wanting never to ride a bus again..That’s just too long a trip by bus even though I enjoyed seeing all the sights along the way. In Davao I stayed at Hotel Leticia which is a nice place with all the amenities . Met a 21 yr old chat mate who is studying to be a teacher. Very sweet girl who was just a joy to be with on many levels. Had my first taste of durian the fruit they say smells like hell but tastes like heaven.. Well maybe I was expecting too much but to me it smelled bad and tasted worse..lol..Maybe it’s an acquired taste but I did not care for it at all. After 4 days I said goodbye and flew to Cebu .
I feel like Cebu is my second home after being there 4 times before as I know all the places to eat,drink,party, and shop. I usually stay at the Metro Park hotel in Lahug a 3 star hotel that’s adequate for me but might be a little run down. Guess I like the price of 850p a night that I get. It’s girl friendly and after checking in I went to my usual trolling place the SM mall. The last couple of years the pickings seem to be getting slimmer due to I think security wanting to keep the girls who stroll the mall out. Nevertheless I have always been able to find someone even if it takes longer than before. And if I strike out there I take a taxi to Ayala Mall and try my luck there. This time a little 22 yr old standing by Mc Donalds made eye contact with me and I walked over to talk to her but she walked away but every once in a while would look back to make sure I was following her.I didn’t know what was going on .At first I thought she was not interested and I stopped but when I stopped she would too and still look back at me. Finally she walked out of the mall and on the street and then she stopped and we started talking.. She said she needed money and was a nice girl. Yeah right.. Anyway it seemed for 1000P she would be a bad girl so we hopped into a taxi and went back to the Metro Park for a little afternoon delight. After 4 days in Cebu I took a V-hire down to Moalboal for a few days of laying on the beach. Very quiet little town with enough bars to keep the nights from getting boring.
Then it was time to take a plane back to Manila for another night of LA Café action with another sweetie before heading back to the real world of work, worry and stress. All in all a great vacation and I will head back again in Jan hopefully.
Guys,
Next March or April, I'm going to be meeting a Filipina friend who's now married and living overseas. She's making a trip back to visit her relatives and we're planning to have 2 or 3 days together during her trip.
What we're looking for is a nice, secluded beach someplace. Doesn't have to be any big resort. Just a place we could go to relax for a bit. I was originally leaning toward Camiguin Island, but that's where she's from. So, cannot go there for fear of being seen by the relatives. Other places we were considering were Cebu, Boracay, or Batangas, as neither of us has been to either of them. They just seem a bit too developed for what we're looking for now and too crowded as well - especially during the time period we'll be there.
So, could any of you gentlemen recommend anyplace that might be suitable for us? I did find one place in my searching that seems good - Dakak Park Beach Resort in Zamboanga. Supposed to have their own private beach. Any of you guys heard of it? Stayed there?
Look forward in any other suggestions you might have. In the meantime, I'll go back to reading through rest of The Philippines forums and see if I can get any other ideas.
Thanks all,
Pacific Blue
Nightrider:
You have stumbled on a great secret, Cagayan is one of the best places in the phils for mongering et al. CDO has some of the Horniest and Kinkiest Women in the PHils IMHO, I dont know what it is, something in the water, tribal traditional traits or the fact that thats just how they are, but they seem very open to experimentation there and every woman I ever met from there is exceptionally hot and horny. My very first "double header" with 2 Filipinas was there and my first Filipina "Bowling ball" (All 3 holes) was from CDO
Foreigners are all the rage there as so few of them are around, it is easy to get lucky at the Mall or out walking around. However, the best bet seems to be lining up a few on the chats before entering the "hump zone".
Looks like you got hit up pretty bad......that happens there too.
Spam hog
Indeed it is everything you say it is Spam Hog. I have as much fun here as I do in Dumaguete. There are several colleges in town so this pulls in the young lovelies from the surrounding area. Like you said it's best to chat up girls in advance. It's possible to find someone in the mall or something like that. But if one doesn't find anything to their liking there's not much else to do in Cagayan. It's not an attractive town at all and the good beaches are some distance away. There is white water rafting as Nightrider said. So to avoid the risk of wasting time it's best to set up some contacts in advance.
As for dealing with greedy family, I find it's best just to say no from early on. People in this country will keep asking and keep taking until you do.
Pacific Blue. You may want to look into Alona Beach on Panglao Island, Bohol. It's got a pretty good setup with resorts of various classes up and down the beach. The beach is open to walk up and down, not walled off like Mactan. There are lots of eating places, limited entertainment and no bar girl scene. It's a good place to BYO, which you will. The beach is just ok and there's pretty good scuba diving.
By the way Spam Hog, great posts in the Cebu section. I thought I saw you in the first week of November in Cebu. I think you were with the Mrs. at the time, before your little mongering tear.
Great post Nightrider. You were there 27 days, so I hope you'll have a few more reports.
I was a bit surprised ....the family dropped you and their 18 year old daughter off at the resort...and she stayed the night??? Damn!
Moalboal...tell us more. I've never been there. I was under the impression it was a BYO girl place. What were the beaches like?
Lastly, you mention one of the "matchmaking sites". I've brought this up on another thread, but does anyone think it's worthwhile to have a seperate thread on this?

X ManMy pc crashed as I was replying so if this gets posted twice I apologize. Anyway Moalboal is great if you are into Scuba diving as a local told me that President Gloria goes there for diving and you know she could go anywhere in Phil. I only took an introductory dive so am not an expert but you will see busses of Korean tourists come there for just a diving vacation. Moalboal is easy to get to from Cebu as it is only a 2 hour V-Hire ride away. Pasagama Beach is the area with the resorts and dive shops and bars. Bar scene is ok but I did not see any pros there when I was drinking. Not saying there is none because maybe I just did not find the available ones. The bar hostesses that are serving drinks seem friendly enough so possibly they could be had but I did'nt try. If I was going there to Moalboal I would BYOB. The best beach is White Sand Beach which is a short trike or motorcycle ride away. I rented a mountain bike and pedaled there one day just for something to do.
A German Expat runs an action adventure place at Pasagama Beach that I would recommend. He does canyoning, river treks, rappelling, horseback riding, I think even a volcano trek if you have a couple days. If anyone wants his website or e-mail PM me. I rented a bike from him and also did a day of rappeling that was the most fun I ever had with my clothes on. LOL.
I like the idea of a matchmaking site too. Guess Jackson will have to take that under consideration if he gets enough requests for it.

Guys,
Next March or April, I'm going to be meeting a Filipina friend who's now married and living overseas. She's making a trip back to visit her relatives and we're planning to have 2 or 3 days together during her trip.
What we're looking for is a nice, secluded beach someplace. Doesn't have to be any big resort. Just a place we could go to relax for a bit. I was originally leaning toward Camiguin Island, but that's where she's from. So, cannot go there for fear of being seen by the relatives. Other places we were considering were Cebu, Boracay, or Batangas, as neither of us has been to either of them. They just seem a bit too developed for what we're looking for now and too crowded as well - especially during the time period we'll be there.
So, could any of you gentlemen recommend anyplace that might be suitable for us? I did find one place in my searching that seems good - Dakak Park Beach Resort in Zamboanga. Supposed to have their own private beach. Any of you guys heard of it? Stayed there?
Look forward in any other suggestions you might have. In the meantime, I'll go back to reading through rest of The Philippines forums and see if I can get any other ideas.
Thanks all,
Pacific BlueI missed the last boat going to Camiguin so had to spend a night in Balingoan. A trike driver recommended the Mantangale Alibuag Dive Resort in Balingoan. If you like secluded this is the place.At least the night I was there it was just me and my girl and an Austrailan and his girl. Ammenities were very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone.
I hope your girl's first name is not Diona LOL! I knew a babe from camiguin with that name years ago, but she was an operator.
Dakak is OK, but for TRUE seclusion (empty beaches where you can get frisky) I can tell you a WAY better place. Take the bus from Cagayan about 4 hours to Surigao City. Thgen catch a ferry to General Luna ("GL") on Siargao Island (about 3 hours). TONS of isolateed beaches on tiny islands that are incredibly beautiful. Great surfing too. NOT developed much at all (unlike Dakak orv Bohol for example).
Sounds like you had as much fun as I did recently. I was in the Phils for 30days and we went back and forth between Cebu and Bohol. I budgeted my money my 3rd week there in Cebu by staying at a pension house for 900p per night. Good AirCon but noisy. I think we'll have to check out Cagayan next time we're there. Are there any "public" beaches there? When I was in Cebu and Bohol it seemed the only beaches worth going to were at resorts.
Wulfe
Just for curiosity, what kind of action is there in Bohol? What cities are good for mongering? Any good bars for picking up WG's? I was with my wife the whole time so I couldn't really check out that scene. We did stay at Bohol Tropics in Tagbilaran and they had a 3 in 1 type bar, one was dance club and the others I'm not sure about but I couldn't get away to check it out. Has anybody been there? I haven't heard anybody mention Bohol in a FR so I was just wondering if there was anything going on there or not. If not then I guess that's a good reason why there's no thread for it.
Wulfe
Been to Bohol many times but always with the Mrs, never had a chance to monger there, Bohol, as you no doubt know, is one of the places in the Pils that boasts the friendliest people, so next to Camiguin I have to agree.
Only action I saw was a few KTV's that from a far, never set foot in them. There is also an ice cream parlor, rather famous (cant remember the name of it) in the town square, I saw a lot of Ladies hanging around this place on a saturday evening while I was sharing a float with Mrs Spamhog, I imagine if I was alone........ well its worth a shot anyhow,

fast eddie 48Fast Eddie,
There are 2 ferries from Cebu to Tagbilaran and they run all day. Well there's actually another ferry too but its SLOW. The two fast ferries are Wessam or Weesam and Ocean Jet. Takes about an hour and a half on the fast ferries, and if I remember correctly about 4 hours on the slow boat. I've only ridden that one once when we got to the Pier too late and it was the only one left. They have cots so we just slept the whole way. Once you're in Tagbilaran you can take a taxi or bus to Panglao. Obviously from my previous post I'm not sure about the action there but I think Panglao is pretty much a bring your own type resort. I will mention that when I was in Island City Mall, I had MANY women looking and smiling even when I was with the wife. Lots of pretty salesgirls in the dept. store.
Spam Hog,
I completely agree about the friendliness of the people there in Bohol. I'm definitely going to live there some day.

fast eddie 48There is no direct ferry from Cebu to Panglao island,You catch a ferry to Tagbilaran,Bohol then take a 20 minute drive to Panglao Island which is connected to Tagbilaran by 2 Bridges.You can take ocean jet to Bohol which has 6.30 9.30 1.30 and 5.30 trips from Cebu to Bohol.IMHO bring your own,there is limited action available on panlao but looks 4-6.

Joke of course but how could i not make a comment as this site is for fucking holes with dick not for hitting balls into holes!
This is a light hearted comment and please dont mean to offend you okay Mate!
Good luck with the golf thing but you can do that at home ! ph is for you know what !
well porty , u may be 20 and dumb and full of cum. but i can't poon 24/7.
i travel all over the world , i fuck the local girls and i golf and dive etc. when u look thru this phil site you will see lots of reports of diving especially. and lots of pooning reports. some like to sit in a bar all day then poon at night , i don't. so to each is own pal. don't try to dictate what others should do.
Good luck with the golf thing but you can do that at home ! ph is for you know what !Well, in Korea, golf is so rediculously expensive, I'd love to play a few rounds in the philippines and I'd like to know about some good, inexpensive courses. You can only do 'you now what' so many hours of the day. Then what do you do? I am sure other mongers have golfed some nice rounds in the meantime and in-between time.

I don't play golf but have been up to the course. There is a great view from there and a nice little club house where I had a drink and chat with the interesting characters up there. It would be a different place to say you have played I'm sure. Like you mongering is night only for me, the rest of the time I want to dive or explore the fascinations of the country I am a visitor in.

Hi Porty
I will have to disagree,Since I run golf tours for Koreans and Japanese who go to the Philippines to play golf,Tagaytay Highlands Golf course is World Class as well as the 4 Arnold Palmer,Jack Nicklaus etc courses of Eagle Ridge and being located in Tagaytay,It is not as Hot and Humid as you would think,The Club John Hay and Baguio Country Club courses in Baguio are also well maintained and defenitely not hot and humid.Btw Here s another joke for you,Why is golf better then sex,Its because you have 18 holes to shoot your balls into during 1 round.Touche

You are correct,She was dying,but she recovered.White Castle is filled with Koreans,Westerners sometimes do not like to be with a noisy crowd of Koreans.Regarding Niko,Ask him to contact Jacky the inbound manager at AAI travel,not my company.She is ok to deal with.Cheers
I have read here in the past that there is little "action" in Boracay and you must bring a companion or you will be alone. I was wondering if that has changed. I was there many years ago and at the time you could meet a few "action" girls. Hope that you can meet someone nowadays too. Also, any chance of action in Palawan? I once heard there was action there in or near Star Island, which is near Palawan's main city.
Spent a week on Boracay in November. Been there a few times but was quite surprised at the change in the last couple of years. If you want it, it is there. Plenty of girls working bar to bar, even Nigi's which I didn't think I would see. There's a previous report of girls hanging out by one of the boat stations but you see them walking up and down the beach path looking for eye contact and they are pretty overt coming into bars to pick up guys. Didn't partake so cannot comment on cost/services.

I had a post a while back on Baguio. I went back in June of last year and had a great time again. Although most of the bars don't allow barfining for takeout you can have a great experience in house. You buy the minimum lady's drink go to a vip and stay in the room untill closing if you want. There are plenty of good,clean hotels to stay at but the action is spread out so you'll have to take a cab. I traveled alone last time and didn't have a problem. You won't see many caucasions there mostly tourists from th PI.
Have fun! I'm headed back to the PI in March and will revisit...

The drink cost will be 1500-2500 pesos depending on the bar and it includes everything,i.e. the drinks and what ever the girl does with you...
Easy overnight trip (or longer) from Cebu City. During my trip the Cebu people and Bohol people were feuding about who should get funding for a new airport...international airport, if my memory is correct.
Alona Beach is on Panglao Island which is just a short bridge away from Bohol of Chocolate Hills and Tarsier fame.
This is really a beautiful place, well worth a visit. As someone has already suggested, bring a companion. Nevertheless, someone else also has said that they got plenty of looks from the ladies. I'll second that. And some of the ladies I saw were very attractive...looked like a bit of Spanish influence. This was away from the tourist area, by the way. If I had a lot of time, I'd love to see if I could seduce a Bohol lady...or vice versa. BTW, I took a companion...lady I met online.
This is a pretty easy trip out of Cebu City. I'm repeating info from earlier posts, but fast service is Ocean Jet, I think 700 pesos, and about 90 min. trip. The "business" class has better seats, and maybe more privacy. Not really worth it for me since I spent the whole time on the top deck enjoying the ocean breeeze and views. Bring some snacks and drinks, although you can buy stuff on the ship.
Alona beach is quickly being Boracized. It's hard to get a picture of the beach, or the water, or the sunset withought including the ubiquitious boats...who are there to cater to tourists.
Hotels....not as cheap as I would have expected for such a remote place. It turns out there was a big fire last year (sounds like boracay, doesn't it?) which wiped out quite a few bungalows. That might be why prices are higher. On the other hand, I stepped into a brand new place right on the beach. Still had construction going on in the back, and no lobby to speak of, but it was great. Place was called Ibis.
Anyone want more info, please ask. I think I've been online too long already.

2) Port of Taglibaran
3, 5) beach
4) good restaurant....name will come to me later (forgive me ... I'm on my 5th glass of wine)
Ibis room 101 was 2500 pesos, new place, air con, very hot water, ocean view, and ocean wave crashing sound if you are in room 101 or other front rooms. Only BIG drawback was no car service. It's okay, you can hire someone to carry your bags since it's so cheap. Or be a heeee maaaan and put that case on your shoulder and walk through the sand. Be a man!
Tarsier is the smallest primate.
I was with a Filipina who had been to Bohol before, so I relaxed. BIG MISTAKE. If I was on my own, I would be watching, asking, taking care of myself. We get to the terminal at Bohol. I should have been watching the people in front of me. The people who know what they are doing, or have been there before will often be moving faster...and they are the people you should follow and observe (actually, you should talk to them on the boat/plane if possible). I let down my guard and I paid the price. No taxis were left and I was cornered by a friendly tricycle driver, who had enough polite English to keep me from telling him to get lost and also enough charm to keep my companion conversing. I knew this wasn't the way I wanted to go, so I kept searching for a taxi or van...nothing available. Soon, the other tricycle drivers were smelling the scent of fresh meat. I knew I screwed up and just wanted out of the situation, so I followed my instincts and took the original tricycle driver.
This was the slowest tricycle on the island as far as I know. I felt lucky that this machine actually made it. Tricycles can be fun,,,,especially for the first five or ten minutes...after that, it is misery.

Wake up in the darkness...and get that shock of not knowing where you are. Is this a nightmare. Where in hell am I.
Realization... You brain figures it out, you're on an island, on the beach to be exact. You can hear the faint noise of the waves crashing just beyond the sliding two sliding glass doors, which you know are there, even though you can't see them in the dim light. You also have the shadow of a woman next to you, curled under the sheet, the same sheet you've been pushing off you to keep cool. She's cold, you think. You want to see her, but you don't need to. You have the seen her, splashing in the surf, snorkeling above the coral...memories of dinner, the walk on the beach, the sunset, the early exit to the bedroom; the long leisurly time when the two of you hugged and kissed and allowed your bodies to do what they were made for.
You grab onto your [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) hard on and take the damn thing to the toilet. You regret that last San Miguel. When you walk back to the bed, the room is lighter, and you realize the sun will soon rise. You think it would be great to walk out the door and enjoy the tropical breeze as the sun rises above the waters.
But your sleepiness wins out. You lay down close to her. It's early, you don't want to wake her. But you remember how good the night before was. You get closer to the woman, close enough to smell her, close enough to feel her warmth. Her back is toward you and you think about sleep...but you realize that you've lost out to wakefullness. The light, the passion, you won't go to sleep now.
As you relax...you exhale...and settle into the bed....and as you do she reacts. She murmurs and pushes her bottom into your crotch. She moves toward you inviting you to put your arms around her. You hug and kiss and touch her. She still has her back to you, and she pushes her self toward you. She's moist, and everything you want slides into her.
You wonder how it is you could wake with the thoughts of fear and nightmare, and find yourself in a dream, a real-world dream where you can sense the ocean as you deliver yourself into a beautiful woman.
And after our lovemaking we actually made it out onto the beach for sunrise. And it was good...until....
The boatmen spotted us.
Sir, can I take you to an island
Sir...//Sir..
If it's midday, it's not so bad because there are lots of people on the beach.
But try to step onto the beach with a woman, who's still dripping with love juices at 6am, and you'll have every boatman on the beach trying to offer you their services.
I decided to get myself a t-shirt with "dili" printed on it. Maybe get a tatoo on my forhead.

I heading back to Cebu for work for 2 weeks, and have 3 free days before I get there. I've got a flite to Boracay (Caticlan actually). Is transportation from Caticlan to Boracay easy?
Any suggestions for hotels? I see a recommendation for Villa Sambrosa at about PhP1200. It sounds ok. Any others? Which Boat Station is closest to the night life?
Sounds like there are girls available now too. Even if the pickings are slim, I'll get by. When I get back to Cebu there will be plenty of opportunity.
I'll post my Cebu info on that board, in case anybody wants to get together after Feb 14.
If I went back to Borocay, I would try to take someone with me.
From Caticlan you take a van or tricycle to the ferry station and then a short ride out to the island. It's all very organized in a typically unorganized Philippine way. The ferry stops first at station 3, then 2, then 1.
I stayed at Dave's Straw Hat and found it very nice. If you want to use the Internet, you go upstairs to a small office where there are two computers. Everytime I was there I was alone. I rented a mountain bike and it was well worth the price as I could explore so many places. It's not far at all to bicycle to the opposite side of the island. It's roughly shaped like a dumbell.
If you really need to be near the nightlife, go for boat station 1. I think places in that area would be more expenesive though. With a bicycle it probably wouldn't matter.
Dave's is closest to boat station 3.

Thanks Xman. I see Dave's Straw Hat recommended on several sites. I already went ahead and booked Isla Gecko, which doesn't get mentioned much, but it's right at Boat Station 2 and about $32/nite.
From my searching the forum and other sites, I think Sta 1 is more expensive and upscale, Sta 2 is moderate, with the most nite life, and Sta 3 is the cheapest and quietest.
I'm sure there is some variety within each area, but I think that overall description applies. If I'm not happy, I'll move.
No time to bring a girl, I'm only in Manila to connect. I arrive on Singapore Air from SIN, in NAIA 1? I have to taxi to the Asian Spirit tkt office, then to the old domestic airport. I arrive Thurs, 1:10pm and depart at 4:00pm, no checked baggage on Singapore Air. Hope that's enough time. My alternative was to spend a nite in Manila, and only have 2 in Boracay.
Cebu Local, I just realized that you answered most of my questions within the quote. Thanks. I'll check out The Bazurra and Wave Disco.
I'll PM my phone number. It won't work til I unlock my cell in Cebu Monday. Staying at the Marriott. We could meet in the bar or better, the executive lounge.

CL
You're right about the sched. The last flight MNL-Caticlan is on Seaair at 4pm. It was full when I booked 2 days ago. So I booked Asian Spirit 6k897 at 3:30pm. Thanks for the heads up.
Looking at your former posts, I see you're a travel agent and very well informed. Does booking flights like these and 3 nite stays in Boracay fit into the scale of your business, or is it not worth the trouble?
I would be happy to use your services as a travel agent, if you can make some money at it.
One of the hassles I run into is that the local airlines won't issue an eticket with a credit card. You have to buy it at a ticket office!
Thanks again, and hope I can make it up to you in Cebu next week.

Cebu Local, has the market been rebuilt? When I was there in April 2005 it was all ash. The place burned down.

XNo,The Talipapa has not been rebuilt but the vendors hang around the former site
Just got back from Boracay this morning, so I will write the essentials now while still fresh in my head.
Stayed Nigi Nigi 2 (too) near Boat Station 1 for 2k P. Not bad, breakfast included. Stayed Nigi Nigi 1 in September for 1.3k P. The season makes a big difference in price. Goes for girls to.
More Girls there this time. Although seems like the core group didn't change. I distinctly remembered faces. Took a 20yr old hottie for 1.5 P Isabelle. She immediatly asked for another 500 P, but I thought 1.5 P was plenty as she was crap in the sack. The next night took another, much more energenic and gave 2 P. .Abbey. a bit more for a good performance, but she also asked for another 500P. Seems that's the proceedure.
Took both from Cocomongas which seems to have a younger crowd than summer place which is tourist heavy. Heads up: Also more "alternative" type women at Cocomongas.
Cheers,

I will be traveling to the Philippines next month with a friend of mine that wants to go to this city. A female colleague told him this place would make an excellent retirement destination. Can anyone provide any information on this city? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I just came from the Philippines Airline web site. I can't see any flight between Cebu and CDO. Is that right? I can fly from MLA to CDO, but that's not what I wanted to do.
My intention was to go Tokyo - Cebu and have CDO as a FREE extra city. Maybe I'll just do MLA - Cebu like I did last time. Heck, I haven't been to AC in years.
***
Just went to Cebu Air: http://www.cebupacificair.com/
MLA to CDO for less than 3000 pesos, but again I don't see a CEBU - CDO flight.

SEAir doesn't fly to Mindanao, yet.

AsianSpirit seem to be the only way to do Cebu -CDO.

I will be traveling to the Philippines next month with a friend of mine that wants to go to this city. A female colleague told him this place would make an excellent retirement destination. Can anyone provide any information on this city? Any info would be greatly appreciated.It is a medium sized City that is the regional capital of Western Visayas,It is laid back but has a couple of International standard hotels 1 five star and 3 4 stars,It has a couple of Malls like 3 SM malls and is basically your average medium sized city.Nightlife is kinda tame compared to AC,Manila or Cebu more like Davao,Hope this helps,I will actually be there next month Cheers
Thanks CL,
Last time I went to Davao I asked SEAIR about flights south, and I seem to remember them saying they didn't fly to Mindanao, but soon would. Maybe the conversation was about Davao specifically and my old, alcohol addled brain misfired.
When I went to the SEAIR website they listed Mindanao cities, but the links were dead. I just assumed...
Thanks for the correction and all the other valuable information you provide.

I lifted this from the web site:

Sits in the Mindanao Sea about 20 km off the north coast of mainland Mindanao,this tiny island of Camaguin {"cam-ee-gin"} is one of my personal favourite tourist spots, it offers ivory beaches, beautiful pools and lagoons, and undulating scenery. Adventure is provided by good scuba diving, trekking and mountain climbing, well you do have seven volcanoes to choose from, the best being Mount Hibok-Hibok. Camaguin also has a mulitude of hot springs, a submerged cemetery for divers to explore near the coastal town of Bonbon, a natural soda water spring, and 35 resorts, most in the northern half of the island.
Another of the major tourist attrations is the annual Lanzones festival, held in the fourth week of October. You have just a few days to book your holiday to the Philippines to go watch this festival, revellers dressed only in Lanzone leaves, dance and parade around in a tribute to this humble fruit, one of the islands major sources of income.
The festival is one of the liveliest and most welcoming in the Philippines, and this on an island famous for the friendliness of its people. Camaguin is also peaceful and spiritual, locals are proud of their faith { Catholic }.
As Camaguin is not that big, it really does not matter where you stay, you can easily visit all the sights. There is a 70km coastal road, which can be circled in one day, the interior is rugged, those seven volcanoes make for excellent climbing.
Ferries from Balingoan, around 80km northeast of Cagayan de Oro {the city of Gold}, arrive at Benoni on the southeast coast. To arrange tours, book ferry tickets, and make long distance telephone calls try the Camaguin Authorised Ticket Agent.. TEL:-08822/387 4000, in the Negros Navigation Office in Benoni
Several jeepneys run every day from Benoni to Mambajao, the busy little capital on the north coast, some of the resorts have a meet and greet service and will pick you up.
Mambajao has a tourist office where you can inquire about accomodation and climbing Hibok-Hibok,there are also a few banks, where the service is slow and rates are low, best to make sure you carry enough peso or dollars with you.
The closest beach too Mambajao is Cabu-An close to the barangay of Balbagon, there is some good coral close to the shore and around six reasonable resorts. Agohay beach, 7km west of Mambajao, has a few resorts also, and is the best place to base yourself for walks into the islands interior.There is a marked trail to Katibawasan Falls, journey time of around two hours on foot, but well worth it, to see the beauty of the stream plunging over the rocky cliff into a deep pool, this pool is wonderful for a cooling swim. The trail is marked but it is still possible to get lost so its best to hire a guide.
The vulcanologists who monitor mount Hibok-Hibok are very happy to give you an insight into their work, and too show a few spectacular photographs of past eruptions,they can be found at Philvocs (mon-fri, 9am-4pm). Three kilometres in from the barangay Tagdo you will find the Ardent Hot Spring (daily 9am-10pm; 20 peso)around one hour on foot from Agohay beach. These springs are very hot, being heated by the volcanic interior of Mount Hibok-Hibok, they reach temperatures of 40c.The best time to visit is in the evening when its dark, you can sit in one of the pools with a cold drink and gaze at the stars {heavenly}. There is a good restaurant, a coffee shop and simple accommodation in small cottages.
Mount Hibok-Hibok is the only active volcano, and at a height of 1,250m it can be climbed in a day, but this is a strenuous climb, the trail crosses some very steep slopes and treacherous rocks.. you should not attempt this alone you can hire a guide for around 1,000 peso, most resorts have a list. The most common approach is through the barangay Esperanza, you will see hot pools and steam vents along the way, at the top there is a crater lake, the views are unforgetable, the coast of Mindanao to the south and the Visayas to the north.
One of Camaguins most popular attractions is White Island, which is not really an island at all, more an extended sand bar that is only visible at low tide, approach is made by banca, a very short hop from the local resorts. Situated between Mambajao and Bonbon the sea and views are beautiful, but there is no shade. so be careful.

I recently spent some time in Sabang and wanted to share this experience with all of you.
Although there are 5 gogo bars in Sabang alone, they are really not that good for the mongering experience. Here is some of the highlights (lowlights) as to why:
The ladies drinks are 200 - 250 pesos each: Mamasans are very pushy. The minute you say hello to a girl, the mamasan will come up to you and say "you must buy her a ladies drink!" and be very pushy about it. They even try to get you to buy them ladies drinks as well. This was especially true of the Broadway Disco. Not a nice place.
Barfines: expect to pay 1000 pesos for the barfine AND 1000 for the girl.
I barfined a girl from Broadway. Her name is Laya and I want you all to be aware of this girl. She will flirt endlessly with you and show you her tonguestud and wiggle her eyebrows a lot. But after you barfine her, she wants to go to all the other bars till all hours of the morning spending more money, introducing you to her other friends (who expect you to buy a ladies drink for them too). Then (surprise surprise) she is very tired by the time she gets back to your room.
She doesn't want to shower. She takes off her clothes and wants you to go down on her...longer and longer and longer, and when you try to get her to give you a bj, she doesn't want to, even though she's been nodding her head all night about it and playing with her tonguestud, swirling it around her lips. anything you get will be substandard with hesitation and complaining.
Now the scary part...as she is finally relenting into letting you (!) have full service - covered, she reaches around and pinches your member so that it hurts like hell. It spoils the mood completely and then she wants to go to sleep. I finally kicked her out. In my case, I found out after she left, that her pinch actually resulted in breaking the skin. I was bleeding slightly on the underside of my dick close to my urinary opening.
Stay away from Laya and the Broadway Disco in Sabang.
well gentlemen the spamhog is up to his old tricks again, catting around in strange cities with even stranger women, thought I would clue some of you into CDO city which has been mentioned here from time to time, I think Good enough actually worked in this place years ago and he mentioned the untapped (pun intended) resources of the hairy triangle variety that abound in this city.
I was treated to a world class tour of the underbelly by a former flame who I recently contacted again after telling her I would be in town for a few days shall we reminince about old times and can you still suck a golf ball through a garden hose? (Yes to both).
Lets call her Sweetie, 30 Years old, never had a kid and tight, wet and willing describes her. Sweetie has a bit of a local history and she and I go way back, having done a "double header" for me years ago, sweetie performs best with a few beers in her and if memory serves me well a glass of red wine puts her in the mood immediately. Sweetie took me on a tour of various clubs and nite spots she loves, everybody knew her and the waiters and bartenders gave us a good table and immediate service wherever we went.
First stop was excite night club on a friday night. Lots of people dancing and carrying on, problem is nobody shows up until 10 PM a few single ladies but mostly couples. Only one other foreigner in the crowd with what looked like his pen pal, a few single ladies dancing seductively and giving me the hot eye when I lead her out to the floor for a little ass shaking, Sweetie latched on to my arm to make sure all the girls understoood this was her exclusive property and any other ***** would get a beer bottle in the face for poaching her piece of meat for the night.
We left at midnight with sweetie half drunk and horney as hell, I asked about another bar we passed near an all night eatery but sweetie said "too many low class ***** in there" cant remember the name. After a night of erotic extravagance involving many variations of the Kama sutra we slept until noon, woke up, screwed all afternoon and ventured out to the swiss deli for early dinner late lunch. Close by I saw a sign on a bar "Late night sexy grind contest" that was it, I decided sweetie had a pretty good grind and told her we were going there tonight.
Wearing her shortest skirt, Sweetie and I arrive at Club Mojo and enter through Ralfs sports bar, actually, this is not a bad little bar, a bit upscale. Inside, the place is packed, sweetie knows every body and anybody, introduces me all around (Hi, Im the big stupid looking American fucking sweetie this weekend, nice to meet you!)
Sweetie starts in on the San MIg and tells me a lot about this place and CDO city in general. Sweetie claims that there are an over abundance of available women in CDO for some reason and all the girls are looking for a "Foreigner" boyfriend/husband/walking ATM machine with a dick. She is annoyed at all the "Bitches" giving me the eye and openly flirting with me. She explains that "Boyfriend stealers" are everywhere and she vows to fight off anyone who gets too bold. Sweetie says problem in this place is "too many cheap Bitches who fuck for P500" (lowering the prices no doubt) She also points out the lesian contingent, a group of about twenty or so "T birds" both manish looking dykes and pretty feminine types all dancing together at there regular table. Sweetie also says there are many "Byots and tomboys" in CDO and they are open about it.
The sexy grind contest lasts about half an hour with each young lady grinding her way to stardom in the dark smoky club, despite my encouragement and many San Mig down her throat, Sweetie will not enter. About midnight we leave again and the streets are filled with revelers.
Friday and saturday night they block off the main street, set up tents, sell beer, have a band playing it looks like a block party, sweetie and I dash into a Chow King and three strange shapes loom in the shadows. One is a tall Byot with very long hair in a silk shirt, he and sweetie greet each other like old friends. The byot looks me over and smiles, two transvestites come out of the deeper recesses, these were almost bangkok style "ladyboys" very well dressed and from across the street you woul mistake them for real women, up close...welll I dont think Id ever be that drunk.
Sweetie explains that the Bayot is a Bogow (Pimp) for the other two (as if I needed that confirmation!) they are looking for drunk foreigners, she claims they will deliver their services and are not rip offs or theives like some TV's.
But I thought I would post this as a warning, I could see some poor bastard drunk making a terrible mistake.
On the way back to the hotel sweetie takes me past "Bada bing" a nightclub where you can barfine. She says she would go in with me to see if some of her friends are working but women are not allowed in there regardless unless they are working...keeps out the angry wives and girlfriends. Across the street however is On Tec, where she knows the manager, sweetie drags me in and sits me down for the floor show which is mainly "uba uba" dancing (semi naked) a few girls come out, dance and strip down to their panties. One or two flash me the beaver. Sweetie is liquored up enough not to mind and I ask her if we can take one of her "friends" back to the hotel room for a double...she hesitates a minute and says none of these girls will do that.
It was the wrong thing to say, coz now sweetie got an attitude and we walk back to the hotel room in a hushed demeanor. Sweetie claims to be too drunk to fuck, wont take a shower and falls on the bed I lift up her skirt depants her and go to work, shes pissed and sometimes a pissed off drunken fuck can be the best in the world.
I leave CDO the next morning bound for Cebu and out of the country for a few days. But I have to admidt that I enjoyed myself for the brief time I spent in CDO. I saw very few foreigners there, most I saw were accompanied by a lady, most places and bars I went, I was the only white guy, despite that, people were very nice and no problems.
Hotels run about P800 for a "delux" which means the cockroaches put on a floorshow and you get toilet paper and a double bed...two singles pushed together. Everything else is cheap, real cheap.
enjoy

Arrived to Sabang using the SIKAT Bus from the City State Tower hotel on Mabini st. in Ermita.The Bus departs at 9:00 am daily.The R/t ticket cost 1200PhP.Upon arriving to Batangas port,you connect with a big outrigger boat,which takes you directly to Sabang.The one we took was named the Blue Pinguin.The whole trip takes around 4-5 hours.
Checked in at the Big Apple Dive Resort.My girlfriend and I stayed in a big room,with fridge,Aircon,TV, two double beds.Damage=1600PhP per nite.This hotel is centrally located,and is within walking distance of all the nightly attractions,bars,and restaurants.It has a nice swimming pool,two pool tables,24-hours bar,decent food,friendly staff,and the receptionist Rebecca,who is a very helpful and attentive.There are 4 go-go places in town.Sabang disco,Philippine Village Disco,Sunset Disco,and a fourth one which I cannot recall the name.I found the quality/looks of the girls superior to those of Angeles.
I did not BF any of the girls,as I had my GF with me.I did though,had fun at the clubs,while my GF was waiting for me in the room.Needless to say,my GF from Leyte,kept me happy for four days/nights.She is a wonderful lady,and I believe I had the most beautiful girl in Sabang.Totally GFE.,and as they call them in this forum,a freebe.
Last,I will recommend Eddie's place for a meal. I had sissiling gambas,and sissiling seafood plate.They were very good.Another good dish was the beef kaldereta.Order a Red Horse beer,which is stronger than the San Miguel,and enjoy your meal.
Life is good,

Spamhog, loved your CDO trip report.
I spent two nights in CDO in March.
I arrived in CDO with a list of ladies I had met online. Some were from CDO and some were from Iligan, which is two hours away. Generally I don’t make any promises and don’t tell them when I’m coming. In retrospect, it’s probably better to get ladies warmed up a bit more before arrival.
As for my first choice, I texted her from Cebu saying I was in Cebu. I didn’t tell her that I had scheduled a flight the next day for CDO. She responded with a testy text about how I should enjoy the girls in Cebu. Hmm, overly sensitive and judgemental. I scratched her from the list.
Another option was in Iligan and looked really hot on cam. I was a bit wary though because sometimes this “student” was online at 2am. She said she was a computer programming student and was working on computer projects late into the night, but I had my doubts. When I called she was apparently at home with a bunch of friends. Sounded like a large group of ladies…unfortunately this never worked out. She said she had no money for the trip. I said I’d be happy to reimburse her after she arrived. Then she wanted to bring a friend. I just let it go and eventually she texted asking me for load. I guess she spent so much money at Net Cafes she had no money left for other things.
The girl I eventually met the first day was tall and slim. She was attractive, but nothing exceptional. Unfortunately she was a bore. First I suggested we meet at Bo’s Coffee (the Starbucks of the Visayans). There is only one Bo’s in CDO. She didn’t know where it was. When we met I asked about beaches, but she knew nothing. Couldn’t swim either. I asked her about restaurants. She said the restaurant she liked was Jollibee. Later she talked a bit about her friend and I suggested we could meet the friend. The friend’s home was a long jeepney ride away. I suggested that she text the friend and let her know that a foreign guy would soon be showing up at her door. “Not necessary”. Well, we get to the friend’s house at 2pm in the afternoon and friend is upstairs sleeping. Duh! So, hang out for a while as friend showers and gets ready. Friend lives in a large, but very simple home. The toilet and shower (faucet and a bucket) are outside.
The three of us go to the floating restaurant in the late afternoon, mostly for a drink. No customers a bit of a bore. It might be more interesting in the evening. We end up at my room and the friend (bless her soul) is pushing my “date” to get closer, get in bed with me. My “date” does lean on me, but when I try to hold her, or touch her, she pushes me away. Eventually, I tell them I’m tired and want to nap. End of date.
The next day this girl texts me a good morning message. I decide I’ll try something different and contact someone else on my list. Day Two’s date meets me in the lobby of the hotel and when I suggest coffee at Bo’s, she says, “Oh, I love Bo’s”. This girl is mid-twenties, much cuter than her online picture indicated, but still a student. There are also several signs which indicate she’s middle class, maybe upper middle class. When I ask about things to do in CDO, she has answers. When she mentions “beach” I jokingly say, “Let’s go.” She says, “yes.” So, thirty minutes after meeting we’re in a taxi on the way to a beach resort she knows of. Things are going so much better than the previous day’s date and they quickly get better in the taxi. She’s touching me and hitting me when I tease her. Yeah, she initiates physical contact…if I play it cool I know where that ends up…
We end up at some resort, which is past a place called Coconut resort, which is listed in Lonely Planet. First thing I notice is that the restaurant bar area has a GRO help wanted ad posted. Might be interesting to come out in the evening. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name and it is quite a way out of town. The taxi driver asked for 300 pesos. We called him later on when we wanted a ride back into town….another 300 pesos. On the way we pass a place called “The Site” which GE has described before.
The beach “resort” itself was nice especially since we were the only customers. There were picnic tables and a ping pong table. There was a little row boat there and we took it out for a bit. As the afternoon wore on there was some light touching and kissing. I was the one to initiate, but also the one to stop…I wanted to keep the sexual tension high.
We left the resort shortly after sunset and ate in town. We then went back to my room. I was a bit too bloated after eating to initiate any bedroom acrobatics so I kept things casual. Mostly we chatted…this girl was a talker. Eventually she picks up her bag and says she has to go. I give her a goodbye kiss, but this time there is no way I’ll be the first to stop. Very quickly there is tongue action and heavy breathing. When I bring my hand up from her waist to her breast ….she drops her bag and stiffens…and suddenly seems transformed. She turns into a wildcat! I can’t remember being with a girl who enjoyed sex as much as this one. The session ends doggy style with me leaving my load on her ass. She reaches around and rubs my cum all over her butt like it’s lotion. Damn! Unfortunately, she can’t spend the night.
After she leaves I go for a walk. I find the place Spamhog has described before “bada bing”. It’s mostly Pinoy customers with one table of East Asians. There are some good-looking women, but only one dancer at a time. At least one dancer got completely nude. I didn’t stay very long.
There was one other lady I texted in CDO and she was keen to meet me, but obviously I was preoccupied. The morning of my departure she texts me asking me when my flight is. I’m thinking she wants to meet before I leave, but I tell her I have an early flight and will leave for the airport in 30 minutes. “Maybe next time”. I get to the airport and this girl is waiting for me. Only 21, 5’2, very slim, but breasty. Cute as a button with jet black hair down to her waist. She was wearing a short skirt and also showing some belly as is the fashion these days. I checked in, then exited the airport and sat with her for twenty minutes in one of the little restaurants outside the airport. Obviously I’m surprised and more than a little pleased. I was tempted to stay another day, but already had appointments set up in Cebu for later that day. Anyway, I kissed her right there in the restaurant ten minutes after meeting her. She didn’t resist, but looked a little embarrassed.
As we say goodbye I try to give her money for the taxi. She refuses. Turns out she has a sister overseas and she has spending money. Later she texts me to say that next time I visit the Philippines she will meet me and “stay with me”. Hmmm, sound like an offer I can’t refuse.
In the airport, things are running a little late and I’m not sure if I’m in the right place. I ask a woman (thirtyish) if she’s also on her way to Cebu. She answers and then says, “BTW, I couldn’t help overhearing you live in xxxville”. Huh? Turns out she was in the restaurant and overheard me talking to the little cuty. Wow, small world. This lady has an ex husband in xxxville and expects to travel there (here) in the near future. We exchange emails. Life is good.
My previous post was about women. This is just general info.
I flew in from Cebu using Asian Spirit. Try to get a seat on the left side and you'll get a good view of CDO as you come in for landing. The airport is a small rinky dink place. Keep an eye on your bags. As someone said earlier the taxi should be about 120 pesos into town if you use the meter. I shared the ride with a guy I met on the plane and we paid 100 each. The taxi took us over the “new” bridge which seemed to have some nice restaurants overlooking the river. I never made it back to this area so not sure about that. In town, near the old bridge, are a few floating restaurants. I had a light meal and beer at one of them and wasn’t particularly impressed. I was there before sunset and there were few other customers. Might be better to see what’s happening in the evening.
I stayed at the Dynasty at 2000 pesos a night. My room was nice but facing the disco so it was noisy. It wasn’t too much of a problem for me because both nights I retired late after a few beers. The breakfast buffest was a bit disappointing. I like the breakfast buffet at Holiday Plaza in Cebu (Ramos Ave.) One of the receptionists at the Dynasty is 5’9, pretty rare for a Filipina. Another, cute and wearing braces is apparently engaged.
GE and Mahku (and others?) have given good reports in the past. I found the Italian restaurant that someone had recommended and found it excellent. Great place for a date. I think it was GE that recommended “the site” which is a little way out of town. I went past this, had already eaten and didn’t stop. It certainly looked interesting. Wish I had longer vacations!
My second day I hit the beach with a date (met online), but the water wasn’t very pleasant. I think the best option is to get out to Camiguin Island. I think you can fly there directly from Cebu. Trying to get there by boat from CDO involves getting a ride out of town. Not sure of the details.
As someone mentioned before it is relatively clean and safe. I really hated the taxis though. As in most Philippine cities many taxis will beep their horn at foreigners. I guess they assume foreigners don’t know what taxis look like and don’t know how to wave a taxi down. So they make this extra effort for our benefit. So kind of them. Now, in large noisy cities like Manila and Cebu this is usually a minor irritant. But in CDO where the roads are narrower, the streets are quieter, I found myself getting really pissed off. I don’t need every other car passing me to blast its horn at me. I made it a point not to take taxis that did this to me. I also got in the habit of just staring at the offender. We’d make eye contact…they’d slow down, sometimes coming to a complete stop…I’d give them my best look of contempt and continue on my way. Walking is good exercise.
Atached is a picture of Gaston Park which is in the south part of town, one block from Dynasty Hotel and very near the "old bridge". There was a bunch of girls giggling and flashing me some friendly smiles here, but they were probably high school age. I also went to the church (both pics) which makes great use of natural light and air. If you go to CDO and do as I did, you will most certainly need to confess a few sins.

I think I was the one who recommended this place, which is about a 1 minute walk from the Dynasty Hotel. I loved it the first couple of times I was there. However, when I went back a couple of weeks ago, the food was virtually inedible. Maybe it was an off night, or maybe the place has changed cooks, but it truly sucked.

Pals,
This City must have changed. I visited here twice a few years ago. Fucked two different, regular women there but was not too impressed with the place. I stayed once in 1999 at the Dynasty hotel and hated it. Tried two other Hotels and did not like either of them. Nightlife sucked back then. I do remember a Bar across from the one Hotel where the waiters/waitresses wore Hard hats like a construction crew. I was there around 01:00AM.
Perhaps I shoud make another Trip now. Davao was not much in 1996-2000 during my first ten trips there. I just kept going back because I always met/fucked some awesome, young pussy.

Hi,
I'm a newbie & joined a few days ago. I am coming to retire in the Philippines later this year. I want to travel to several towns to see if I want to settle down there.
Question is: What are the night life and sex opportunities like in smaller cities such as Bacolod, Ormoc, Naga, Iloilo, Legaspi and the like.
Any views or info would be much appreciated.
Gary
excuse my ignorance but what does CDO stand for. Is that an airline code for somewhere?

CDO is short for Cagayan de Oro. It's a city on Mindanao. It's not completely correct but you can say its in the northern part of Mindanao.
I’ve been in Boracay for the last 6 nights with my gal from Manila who had the week off. It was very crowded with many of the hotels sold out however it was not nearly as bad as any island in Hawaii. Since Sunday most of the people left to go back to work so this would be a great time to start your vacation here. There are people from many countries here with the exception of the fact I never saw any Arabs, Jewish people or Africans. In other words it’s been a very enjoyable vacation. On a few occasions we would see a throng of people following and gawking at what turned out to be a movie star on Philippine television.
As reported before you really need to bring your own talent here since the pickings are very slim however I was hit on by a lady during a time I was by myself enjoying a drink at the bar. She was about a 7. She was a local girl looking for some extra cash. I wish I could have done her but had no place to take her since my gal was in our room.

Comingtocebu sir, no need to go to Iloilo. One poster on another forum called it dark and I concur. Not a good mongering destination either. It is a fly over city.

I am pleased to report that Prov1 just went on my "Ignore List". I will no longer have to read his drivel.
I'm interested if anyone has any info on Eagle Point Resort and the surrounding area located in Batangas. Plan on spending a few nights there with my honeyko in July. Any info would be helpful.

Yella ManThere is nothing around eagle point for at least a 20 minute drive,It is a complete Dive Resort,But Surrounded by Countryside,Yes In fact one of my staff used to work there and boredom was their enemy Cheers
Cebu Local,
Thanks for the tip. I guess me and my Honeyko will be getting real familiar with each other then. A Secluded Beach Resort with my favorite Honeyko. There's nothing boring about that, eh? I'm sure I'll survive somehow.

I visited Sabang Bay in November 2005. Good place for diving and 4 discos with nice girls. No farang needs to sleep alone in Sabang...
A couple of kilometers from Sabang, close to Puerto Galera is a place called White Beach or so? There were no discos but one was supposed to open in December 2005, with girls to invite to your hotel if you would like...
Has anyone tested this place?

Hi,
IQuestion is: What are the night life and sex opportunities like in smaller cities such as Bacolod, Ormoc, Naga, Iloilo, Legaspi and the like.
Gary
I don't have any personal experience (yet) in any of those you've mentioned, however I can tell you that three of my Pinoy brothers-in-law have guaranteed to ensure we're gonna have one wonderful time when our long-planned visit to a couple of those provincial cities finally happens later this year, and I have absolutely no doubt as to their knowledge of such.
I do however have a few experiences outside of Metro Manila (since I live outside of there these days).
For example, I was recently introduced to a nice, secure, out-of-the-way place in a subdivision off the "strip" in Imus. "Introduced" is the proper word to emphasize, I wouldn't suggest going there as a foreigner without a Pinoy relative the first time. Of course after that, once they know you and that you're a good dude, walang problema. The room is P130, and the girl will set you back (fixed price) P500. Lots to choose from if you go after 7 or 8pm. My first choice was 19, very yummy, very enthusiastic, and quite new to the experience. This is a place where new girls show up all the time that happen to need a little bit of money. So fine, tip the mamasan 100pesos and buy the old dude a beer. You still have lots of spare change from 1000. Bring 3000 and treat your relatives!
Don't bother going before 6pm. They will find you a cute girl, but my experience with that second time in the afternoon was less than fulfilling. Unlike the 19-year old who wanted more and more and more after I was way done, the afternoon girl insisted that I was done when she was done.
My 3rd visit was evening, having learned my previous afternoon lesson, and I asked mamasan to go fetch Girl #1, which she did. While waiting, two other nice girls stopped in (they don't work there) just to see if anyone was worth meeting. One of them insisted I come and talk to them, and really wanted me to take her out somewhere then and there. I had to inform her that I made a promise to wait for someone (girl #1), so she entered her cell# into my SIM while still trying to get me "now". Girl 1 showed up after an hour and a half and made my promise to wait for her well worth waiting for; I gave her an extra 100 that she wasn't expecting.
Three weeks passed, and the girl who wanted me "now" had no time off work (factory job), then suddenly her best friend txt'd me after getting my number. So, ok, I met her and wow! 23 and knows what's she's doing but isn't over-used. Nice gf for the next two months until her pinoy bf shows up, so that situation is on hold. Meanwhile a couple of weeks ago the first girl (not girl #1 but yes also 19) finally gets a chance to go out with me. Puts her best friend to shame in bed, and that's some statement! No kids, only one bf before me .... so I'm waiting for her to get back from the province now. Yes, of course she "loves" me too.
Meanwhile, unrelated to this place and story, another friend from before txts me a couple of hours ago and apologizes for being stupid (her words), misses me and wants me back. I txt'd back "what if I don't have any money", and her answer was "I miss you and just want to see you and be with you". So ok, when I can manage it I'll txt her. Meanwhile, not much chance for me to get out the next little while; time to be the good asawa at home.
Yes, I know the above is an off-the-cuff ramble, but the point is that there are many many opportunities outside of metro manila, and typically you get better quality for a lot less money and typically one very happy girl out of the deal.
Sorry I can't give you the name of this place, but if there's one there are many such anywhere. Just ask your male relatives - they know where to take you, especially if you're prepared to treat them at minimal expense. If you can't bring your wife's brother to translate for you then bring your own Tagalog ability; you will need one or the other, preferably both. Both is a virtual guarantee that you will be treated well and very welcome anytime thereafter, with relatives or for a quick solo trist.
One additional side note about little hidden resorts - I see that most of the local small swimming "resorts" seem to all have a place you can rent if you happen to have a need to get intimate with someone you take there, or someone you might happen to pick up on the way in or while inside.

I'm deliberately making this a seperate posting rather than just tacking it onto my previous.
If you know what you're doing and you *have* Pinoys you can explicitly trust with you to go to places such as I've mentioned, great, go for it. If you lack the proper, and I mean PROPER implicitly trusted *male* escort entourage, then pay the ridiculous shot and stick to tourist places, which is NOT what I've been writing about tonight. If you've been here a day and a half, don't even dream about going where I might go and those are places I wouldnt' go first time alone!
"In-house" security works for you when they know you know how things work. If "they" have any doubt, that same "security" can just as easily be used to turn you into spare body parts to be sold off at a discount.
Let me give you an example. Long before I was introduced to the place I just reported on, a couple of years ago we (yes, btothers-in-law plus me) went to a bar along the Imus strip because one of my bayou wanted to see his new (stripper) gf again. So fine, he had a bunch of money and we had an excuse to be home late by 3 hours. Other than his gf-wannabe, we didn't really have any friends in the club she was working in. He dropped about $8000 pesos in 3 hours for what I consider *nothing* for any of us, and when some local half-drunk police started eyeing us (meaning me the obvious foreigner) it was time to quietly leave, discretely and fast.
A couple of years later, aking bayou still has that gf, and I still have all my body parts, but only because we were paying attention and knew when we should be SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Imus, in the direction of Island Cove (but _not_ Island Cove - I haven't had a chance to check that out yet, the latter is rather up-scale so I don't expect the same there, but hey, you never know, di ba?). Once you get as far as SM Bacoor, we're only a few minutes away from the place. I don't get to Dasma much other than passing through, so I don't know what's there, yet. If I ever get a chance to roam around Dasma, I already have 4 (different) yummy friends who would love to have me "drop in" and meet the family (in some cases _again_). Seems a lot of them live in Dasma, though yeah, Dasma is a fairly big place.
As for Imus, I was hoping you'd catch my txt back to you earler tonight, if you see this in time and you're still in my neighbourhood, siguro we can hook up gabi bukas. Sempre ganda yo kasi marunong Tagalog ko. Txt me safely about it.

My last trip, March 06, was the first time that a local said something to me in a bar upon entering.

I have been there many times and she knew that I would spend a couple thousand pesos. He is local and I am not. He ran to my van and said that he was sorry and to come back in.

Went back next night, no problems and lucky for me I met a new girl (19), first night in the bar. Her sister (brother...lol) was the waitress. She didn't have a cell phone, so I went the next day and brought her one for 1500P and took it to her and next thing I know we are in the ST hotel and she showed her appreciation.

I always sit with my back to the door, never get drunk, (brother-in-law doesn't drink) and give him my money before hand so he can pay. I never flash money.
Out of 25 bars there, I am the first american that most have ever been with.

I know the feeling. My house in Bataan, Dinalupihan, and I party there, with my Filipino brother-in-law.Welcome to the Pino-foreigner Club, such as it is! :-)
One of these fine days I really do want to get out to Bataan, which is actually not at all that far from where I'm sitting.

Right, and I believe that. I myself like to sit to the side so that I can see both incoming and inside activity. Just a habit. :-) Yes, if in doubt I pass my cash & cellfone to a bayou many times (unless of course I'm alone). Unlike North America, I can trust my Pinoy brothers-in-law. I do drink but know when to slow down depending on the situtation.
I never flash money.
If alone sometimes I don't have enough cash because I NEVER take more than I'm prepared to lose. I can always find a way to deal with being poor here, it's expected once "they" understand that I LIVE here. For example, one totally unplanned situation "may dalawang bayau" had me treating them to girls and I underestimated the cost of gas and beers. Once in the room with my girl, I just told the dude to see if anyone of them had the needed 40 pesos. I don't know if anyone did, but life was good for all of us, snce I know that *they* know that I (foreigner) bring them lots of (Pinoy) business. Pesos are pesos and casas sometimes look beyond the immediate minute if they know who puts money into their pocket. Sempre this isn't a first-time visit!
All this reminds me of another occasion - a girl wants to go bar hopping, so ok when I'm down on cash I hand her *all* the rest and tell her to pay for things. What's funny is that she wound up with all that cash since the floor manager that night was also a friend of mine, and yes I knew that before making that ploy. It just happened to work out fine that night, but I was close enough to walk home if I had to and likely could have been escourted if I had asked. That's me though, don't push your luck unless you have the same local Pinoy friends right there at hand.
Yes, I sincerely wish I could get away for a week like you did, even a DAY would be great!
thought i would add my 2 cents on boracay as i've seen lots of inquiries from the brethern on this world famous vacation spot. was in boracay 5 yrs ago approx, just went there with my ever-loving for a few days. things have changed a good bit, for one thing there are more hotels to choose from, more resturaunts catering to american/western style food (including the manila famous hobbit house which has taken on an irish theme, serving guiness and some great mixed drinks!) but the prices are rather high for rooms, even in this the off season.
anyhow as the mongering public will tell you, byob ie bring your own babe, booty, bimbo...whatever. there is not much of a selection on the island. there are some tactical and practical reasons for this, first off, there are not that many indigineous locals, most of the folks who live on the island are from decent families or they have enough money to live there and dont have to scrounge around in bars trying to pick up overweight middle aged foreigners to buy rice. second reason is the cost of getting to the island, saw a lot of local guys who were used as cheap labor by construction outfits. they were bitching about the p50 ferry ride to get back to whatever home port or nearby island they come from, very doubtful a lot of local ladies can scrape together the pesos to come to the island for a night, then if they do they are stuck there, rooms dont come cheap if some obliging fellow doesnn't pick them up.
next reason is the ratio of horny lads to lasses. went bar hopping with my lady and in each place i practically had to haul out my razor sharp katana to keep the wolves at bay, every time i went to the cr i had some swain winking and smiling, the worst are my fellow americans, mostly dumb ass twenty two year olds in asia on daddys trust fund and dont know shit but next in line are the geeky looking koreans who doen't understand english as in "motherfucker...thats my wife, git!" more on this later.
went to the famed cocomangas shooter bar and the place was the best act in town. mostly pinoys, very low rent, however, this is the place i advise any lone males to check out. around about 11pm the place filled up with ladies, all of whom were doing the reverse of the loverboys in the more upscale bars.
my lady run 'em off with the tiger look but lots of twenty something's flirting and dancing, wiggling little borwn asses in front of you. saw a few would be pros "patroling" walking around looking for foreigners drinking alone, most of trhe guys there were more interested in the cheap beer and mixed drinks than the women, can;t say i blame them, some of the girls were down right ugly. next post part 2 i will give you some more details and more overall acessment, stay tuned.

It does? Great and thanks for the info! I don't know if I'll ever get to Boracay but we do get to Metro Manila periodically. After a few years I NEED a Guiness fix, so next time I wander by the Hobit House on Mabini just north of Remedios "may aking aswaw" and she mentions we never yet tried the place, I'll so "ok, now is good, lets do it". While extremely tiny people don't atrract me ... GUINESS? I'lll pay the tourist price for a mug or 2. Absolutely!
Thanks Spam Hog. I plan to go there and BMOB and you comfirm that it's a good idea to do it that way.
My last trip there was 10 years ago and it was the same then. There were a few stray working girls around but not much selection. One may have a chance with Japanese or Korean tourist girls though. Also, the usual FWC brigade that any international resort has are there in force.
I actually stayed at Cocomangas back then. At the time it was one of the nicer places. But I suppose by now it's been passed up by new development.
I have something to add. Borocay is shaped like a dumbell, with the center being only about a kilometer or two wide. I rented a bicycle and rode from the main tourist area (around boat station 2) to the other side. There is a beach there with far fewer people, less tourist spots, fewer boats, and less clean. Worth a trip. I rode both south and north on the beach and found an area of people living in poverty. Apparently, they are indigenous. They are also apparently oppressed. Someone is trying to get them to leave, calling them squatters, with the express purpose of taking their land for development. Not all the people of Borocay are well off.

X, Sounds like pretty much on the mark, the impressions I got were from my ever loving who was talking to a few of the locals, it seems that a lot of male laborers were imported from the local islands during the construction boom, of course sometimes accompanied by asawa's who began selling cocnuts, baked goods or doing manicurista work for the rich touristas, lots of these folks stayed on or hung around the partially finished buildings as is a common practise here. We also talked to concessionaires from Cebuanao and Palawan, general impression was that they were camping out on the beach or living in squatter areas and going back "home" during the slow periods. But of course the social divisions take over and well off and "connected" pinoys are usually the ones who own the big businesses and are building the big time houses on the island.

Yeah Guiness!, they also make some excellent mixed drinks, Mrs spamhog had a Pina Colada and a tequila sunrise which they did pretty well, I could actually taste the booze. Very friendly staff, some of the "nano" (dwarfs) were imported from Manila. They also played the video of "riverdance" on the big screen at my request and demonstrated some Irish step dancing, food was good (Steak, mashed potatoes) nice atmospehre. Had a live singer on a guitar, cute little lady from Manila singing some great oldies.
Also suggets you check out "hey Jude" which is a combination resturaunt Hotel with a beach view, they had the big screen up right on the beach for the Germany vs ???? soccer game that night, great food, also Good singapore sling.

Cocomangas was giving some good rates plus I like the "native" style rooms and huts with the front porch which is why I stayed there. We practiically had the place to ourselves. I would check out the "red cocoanut", we said if we return we would stat there, more like a conventional hotel with a pool and a GREAT outdoor resturaunt/beahc bar.
I noticed SCADS of Korean tourists, we counted twenty getting off the plane from Manila when we left. Seems as the tour people were targeting the Koreans for the off season. Most were couples, but single males, groups of males far outnumbered the couples, these guys are horny as hell too, will hit on your squeeze as soon as you turn your head! Im gonna write part 2 about some funny things that happened involving thse guys but I saw only a few groups unaccompanied females, it seems they never do anything alone but in twos and threes just like Japanese, can make it a bit harder to thin one out of the herd but a guy of your experience might have a shot...our dime is on you!

For that trip back then I had a wing man and that's how we worked on the girls in pairs. There was one Japanese pair and one Korean. Even if one girl doesn't want to do anything she can be kept company while the other guy and the more 'up for it girl' can go do their thing.
For this trip I may or may not bring my own. If not hopefully my Aussie pal from the UAE will make a good hunting teammate.

Having a WINGMAN is DEFINITELY SOP for Korean/JAP gals where ever ye may be. In Bali it was the only logical plan of attack but it is also a good idea to have a few fellow mongers in contact for places like the Sunflower in Cebu, lots of Filipinas travel in packs as well.
You might be able to score in Boracay going solo IF you go to Cocomangas shooters bar after 11 PM Loads of local talent but I would rate most of these girls...well...not so high, maybe it was because it was so dark and smokey, maybe because some of them seemed half fried on tanduay or maybe because Mrs Spamhog was giving all loose females in general the bad eye & they returned the dragon look but I saw many what I beleived were freelancers wandering around and dancing. Some of these girls were openly flirting, many were plainly offering themselves to whatever lone or unattached males were present, be it Filipino (older rich looking guys) Koreans and of course really trying to get chummy with any fat faced white guy like myself.
I have no idea of price or quality of services rendered as mere research inquiries would have been suicidal given the mood of the mrs. but it seems that this is the place to pick up a bed mate for the evening. I plan to include some detaikls if I ever get around to writing part 2 of my story naming locations and rating them etc.

My trip report begins on P. Burgos St., in Makati on 30 June. I booked a room at the Great Eastern Hotel (www.greateasternhotelmanila.com) on Makati Ave at Peso 2100 for a Deluxe room. The hotel lobby is on the fourth floor, so for security reasons you always have to stop and change elevators on the fourth floor before going up to your room. The Hotel Staff seemed girl friendly enough because I had no problems taking my shorty up to my room later that evening. After I checked in around 2PM, I took a quick shower and hit the streets. I knew it was early, but I had to Check-out at Midnight and run across town to see my GF who was already checked-in at Paco Park Oasis Hotel.
First stop, 7/11 to load my cell. They didn’t have any loads for Talk N Text Sim cards, so I transferred the information from my contacts on my Talk N Text Sim to my Phone memory, and purchased a Globe Sim and 300 Peso load and was ready to roll.
The first club I hit was Bottoms. The selection of ladies there was pretty good so I decided to hangout and enjoy Happy Hour. I bought the girls several rounds of drinks at Peso 130 per Lady Drink. After talking to most of the ladies for about an hour, I told them I wanted to choose three to hit the VIP room with. I already had my mind made up about my first choice…a spinner named Cindy. She was a cute little thing that would spin well once I had her on top me doin’ the nasty. I continued to play with the girls tits and ass until I selected the other two, then I called Mamasan. Mamasan wanted 3000 Pesos per girl but excepted 2000. I probably could have gotten her lower, but hell…I was there to have fun, right? So I excepted the fee and headed for the VIP room with my three ladies.
The VIP room is a good choice if you are limited on time and want to have some quick fun with multiple ladies. Each of the girls took turns giving me bbbj’s as I continued to play with their tits, and pussy’s. I blew my load after a half hour of unbelievable BJ action. I probably could have gotten laid in the VIP room, but Cindy was turning me on so much I decided to BF her and take her to the room for a few sessions.
I called Mamasan again and asked about the BF. Peso 2000 and Spinner was all mine. I paid the tab as Cindy got dressed. I spent a total of 10,500 Pesos for for my three Double shots of Johnny Walker Black, three rounds of Ladies Drinks for all the girls, the use of the VIP room with three girls and Cindy’s BF. Nothing compared to what I would have spent at home in Korea for the same type service.
So off Cindy and I go to my hotel for a romp or two in the sack. After showers we go at it hot and heavy right away. For a girl with such a small stature, she warmed up quite nicely to everything I threw at her. She especially liked the DATY. Two sessions later we showered, dressed and headed back to Bottoms. I was supposed to meet a friend there for drinks around 7PM. It was after 9PM when we walked in the door and there was no sign of my friend, so I gave the other two girls who were in the VIP room with me tips, kissed Cindy and headed for the door.
I walked up the street to Ringside and ordered a beer. I wasn’t at all impressed with their line-up. They didn’t come close to the looks of the girls at Bottoms. After some idle conversation with a few of the girls, I paid my tab and left. I went back to the hotel, packed my stuff, paid my bill and caught a taxi across town to Paco Park Oasis Hotel (http://www.parkoasis.com/) where my GF was waiting. I arrived close to 11PM and checked in. Cost of the room was Peso 3900 for the Gold Room. It was decorated really nice and It had a large Jacuzzi in the bathroom. But like some places in the Philippines, the water smelled bad. If it weren’t for the water, I would recommend this hotel. My girl and I just couldn’t get over the smell of the water. It was that strong.
We checked-out the next morning and caught a taxi to the City State Tower hotel on Mabini St. in Ermita where we paid for two tickets for the Si-Kat bus that runs to Batangas Port at 8AM every morning. Ticket cost was around Peso 400 each. We arrived at the port at 10AM and paid a driver 1600 Pesos to drive us to Eagle Point Resort, one and a half hours away.
We arrived at Eagle Point Resort (www.eaglepoint.com.ph) close to noon. Now if you want a resort that is secluded where you and your honey-ko can snuggle-up and enjoy each others company with no large crowds, then this is the place. I booked a cottage overlooking the ocean for two nights. My honey-ko and I even made love on the balcony overlooking the ocean. It’s a very romantic place to take a lady. The food was good and the wine selection ok. We did some Jet Ski action the next day, and Island hopped a bit out to Sepoc Island. That’s when the Captain of our boat pointed out Peurto Galera in the distance to us. So the honey-ko and I made a change of plans. Instead of staying at Eagle Point for another night, we talked the Captain into taking us to Peurto Galera that afternoon after we checked out. 4000 Pesos and a hour and a half boat ride later, we were in the town of Sabang, Peurto Galera.
We quickly found a room at the Red Coral Beach Resort (redcoralresort@yahoo.com) for Pesos 1500 a night. Nothing luxurious, but it was right on the beach and cheap as hell, so we took it. We showered, made love, and took a nap to await nightfall so we could explore what the night life was like in Peurto Galera. We weren’t disappointed. Peurto Galera had a vibrant night life. My GF wanted to go dancing, and in every disco we stopped in there were girls waiting to be picked up by some foreigner. Loads of girls! And lots of them real hotties! I was surprised because I always assumed Peurto Galrea was a bring-your-own-girl type Island. When my Honey-ko slipped off to the CR, I asked Mamasan how much the BF was…1500 pesos she replied. Two of the girls having noticed my GF was missing asked me to dance. Out on the dance floor it took one of them two minutes to unzip my shorts and rummage around inside. I quickly ended her quest and went back to my seat, hoping honey-ko didn’t see what had happened. She gave me no grief so I guess she missed the action.
Broadway Disco, and Sunshine Disco are two of the bars we visited. We visited more but I can’t remember the names. And don’t let the names fool you. They were not disco’s in the traditional sense. The were Angeles City style bars with girls dancing around a pole on stage. The next day my honey-ko and I went snorkeling, and had lunch on the beach. Sabang is a big Divers town. Everything there is associated with diving. So if you dive, this is the place to go. At the end of it all, me and my GF caught the boat back to Batangas port for Pesos 150 each, then had a driver take us to Manila Airport for 2300 Pesos. I kissed my Honey-ko good-bye and flew back to Korea. I’m definitely going back…alone next time, and I’ll taste the sport of diving and taste a handful of the pretty ladies I saw all over town. That’s my report in a nut shell. It was a busy, very enjoyable five days. I can’t wait to get back there.

Hi,
I'm travelling through the Visayas next August (Boracay, Cebu, Malapascua.)
I'm interested in mongering but also about picking up some western girls (that could be there for tourism & travel).
Do you know if there are a lot of young female tourists there?
Where are the best places for night life and parties?
Thanks a lot!
P.S. Consider that I'm young and quite good looking.
Lorenz,
I believe you'll be SOL (shit outta luck) in the Western Girl Department. I do see Western Women on most of my trips to the RP, but most are of enormous girth and not worthy of letting your worst enemies having a go at. The ones that are hot tend to be connected at the hip by some poor bastard who is probably casting sideways glances at all the hot Filipina ass all around them. Nope, better stick to Filipina's....or Japanese and Koreans in some areas. Goodluck on your hunt.

I had agreed to let my very trim, blonde haired blue eyed GF (my LAST White GF!) meet me in the PI. My buddy and I had arrived first, then my GF and his wife a week later. After 2 minutes I realized it was a HUGE mistake and I did everything possible to make her want to bail (so I could be solo). Oh how I wish I met a guy like you back then!
My friend and his wife let her go with them to Cebu and I hightailed it back to Balibago with a shit eating grin! Never heard from her again (:
To answer your question, go to Kuta, Bali. It is paradise for those who want to pick up drunken Euro/Ozzie girls on holiday (and lesser numbers of American and Japanese) . Never saw ANY groups of White girls on holiday without guysaNYWHERE in Visayas. IF it happens in Visayas, Boracay would be your best bet but not until November when the tourist season begins there. I personally think you are off your rocker to chase White girls while in the land of LBFMs but to each their own,. Good luck in your hunt.

There are loads of western women in the Phils. Most of them are euro tourist girls, a few brits etc. But these girls are of the back packer, free spirit variety. Way too young for old bastards like me but I ALWAYS see lots of them, The three best places are the ones you named. Boracay being number one. Strange thing, I usually with a filipina, I took my Filipina out dancing at WAVE disco in Boracay and Cocomangas shooters bars, in each place I had Euro girls ask her to dance.
Malapasqua is another place, few Americanos there mostly European, Danes, Dutch and Swedes, seem to have some sort of inside on the place. I've noticed these girls are VERY friendly if you have a filipina with you they seem eager to talk to her and you. I'm sure you could do well but be forwarned, the odds are AGAINST you in those two places as there is an over abundance of guys to girls. And the Filipino guys also hit on them.
Cebu is another place. I've See western women at the infamous sunflower disco.
I know a few western dive instructors operaing in the Phils who get lots of pussy off western women.
Surfer is right about Bali, lots of western (drunk) girls there, jap girls too, real easy.
Good luck

Trip report: First trip to the Philippines
Went from Europe with Cathay Pacific, probably the best airline I travelled by except for Singapore Airlines.
Arrived in Manila during daytime and took a taxi in to Manila. You can use the prepaid taxi service, they charge around 500pesos for a trip to malate/ermita or a normal metered taxi, then the trip is around 150pesos. A note about taxidrivers in Manila, they are all bastards. Make sure they turn on the meter, or you will be overcharged and save you a lot of hassle.
Stayed at the Stargate pensionne at Adriatico street in malate. The deluxe room was about 1100 pesos a night. Newly build with nice rooms. Very guestfriendly also. On the same street there are many other hotels in the same price class.
Avoid the popular Malate Pensionne though, they have a strict no guest policy. No exceptions.
Didn’t really care for Manila. During daytime you have one thing to do – going to the malls. Nothing else. It also lacks the pulse of a big city since its spread out on a very large area.
Nighttime was slightly better. Went to La Café of course. Picked up two girls there my first night for st (2000p for both). Crowded place and really nothing more than your usual bar, except for the fact that many working girls go there. Personally I prefered Cowboy grill, which is alittle more like a disco, not many foreigneers there though..
In Malate/Ermita available girls are everywere. Semipro’s and pro’s on Baywalk and on the streets, massageparlours, gogobars etc. Just choose. I stayed 4 days in Manila and it was more then enough. I missed Makati though, which some people says are nice.
Flew to Boracay with asianspirit. Oneway ticket was around 3700 pesos. Boracay is really nothing more then a long beach with adjointing bars/restaurants and hotels. That’s it. No gogo or girliebars.
It’s fine with me though, cause Im into diving and beachlife.
Stayed at La Casa Bonita 5m from the beach at boatstation 3. Really nice and clean rooms. After barganing I payed 1100 pesos a night with breakfast included.
The action that exists is around boatstation 1. Cocomangas disco was the only disco with lots of people and they had some working girls. But many local girls also and semipros. I liked the place. One drunk girl working as a divemaster at a diveshop on the beach gave me a handjob in the bar, with her hands inside my pants. Pretty embarrasing, but I don’t think many people noticed(I hope, I was drunk to).
Spent two weeks there and had a good time. Not many white tourists there, LOTS of koreans though.
Next stop was Puerto Galera. Flew to manila and took the bus to batangas. From batangas ferry(1 hour) to Sabang Beach. Stayed at Riseros Beach resort, in a nice room fronting the beach with balcony.
Sabang is a pretty small place, but I had a great time. Diving is really good, although visibility was only ok due to rainy season.
The best restaurant was in my opinium Capt. Gregg which also had a great barbeque.
In Sabang beach there are four gogobars. They are all on the main street in sabang so you cant miss them. Takeout is 2000pesos. I prefered Village Disco.
There are lots of freelancers in the bars and everywhere. But again it’s a small place, you will see the girls you have had many times again.
Went to White Beach with rented bike. It was totally dead (lowseason now). Restaurants and hotels were closed.
Ok, now it was time for Angeles. Took the bus to manila and there I took a taxi(1500pesos). I guess in Angeles there aint nothing called lowseason, I went around to aprox 14 different hotels incl Royal amsterdam, orange lion, wild orhid, orchid inn, central park, swiss chalet, niagara hotel etc. Everyone fully booked, for a long time ahead. Finally, got a room in kokomoz for 2 nights, then it was full again. Rate 1750pesos anight.
Hotel was ok though, with computer and broadband in the room. Had an argument when I checked out though, they claimed I had drunk a lot of things from the minibar, which was only bullshit. Don’t care for the money, its that they are trying to fuck me that bothers me.Of course I didn’t pay.
According to a german guy staying at the hotel, this was their praxis so he always took a photo of the bar when he checked in.
Angeles all about quantity, but where is the quality? Bars like cambodia, insomnia, illusions, lollipop, roadhouse, treasure island etc all had many girls, but did I find I looker? NO. I guess at least 70% of the girls already had children, and really not the young beatiful girls I had imagened.
I did see some goodlooing girls at nero’s, blue nile and dollhouse though.
After all I had read about angeles it was a real disappointment. Went to atleast 20 different bars in balibago and perimeter road and I didn’t even see a titty. No wet t-shirt contest, no girls doing crazy things in the bar. Just your normal gogobars-nothing more.
Met a photographer who lives in pattaya and takes photos for asianbabymakers and other sites, who said the same. Where are all the craziness we heard so much about?! And he had stayed for 2 weeks.
I liked the bars on santos street though. Young good girls and no hassle for ladies drink or anything. Just 600 pesos. Takeout the same pice for 2 hours.
Stayed only 2 nights in angeles, not worth anymore.
Went to Subic bay and baloy beach. A 2-3 hour busride from Angeles.
Stayed at the Blue rock resort, nice place with a good restaurant and right at the beach. Were relaxed place but the diving was highly overrated.
Nightlife was god. Barrio Barretto had at least 6-7 gogobars at the national highway(takeout 1200 pesos) and a massageparlour with a couple of young gems.
There is also another nightlife area about 10min with jeepney east. Don’t remember the name, but there are lots of bars there, many good ones also.
Damn, Im bad with names but if you take a trike 100-200m east from barrio baretto-national highway, just over the bridge on your left side there is a filipino style gogobar. Nice place, with nudedancing, and its filipino style-also the age of the girls... Takeout is 3000pesos. They also give bj and striptease for 1700 inside the viprooms.
Conclusion:
Philippines is good for diving, beachlife and the girls are nice. Pretty cheap, easy to travel inside the country and everyone speaks ENGLISH which is very good.
But there are drawbacks. First of all, there are only a few real touristareas(for sex) manila, angeles, cebu, subic, puerto galera and the scenes are small except for angeles. It would be terrible during highseason, all places packed with people.
You have the gogo/girlie bars and you have your normal bars. If you are interested in a more varied nightlife, you wont be able to find it. REAL discos are nonexistant, although they call many places discos. You will find some bars with a very small dancefloor, and angeles has 2 small discos, but that’s it.
If your interested in raunchy striptease you wont be able to find that either.
Filipino food is in my opinium very bad. But its fine, cause its easy to find good thai, japanese or american food.
I would choose Thailand over Philippines anyday, but I will go back for a shorter period of time, cause I like the diving, the beach, and some of the girls are really nice. The girls are also generally younger in ph compared to thailand, but thailand is the easy winner anyway, cause it has much more to offer.
Hope you enjoy my report.
Will post some photos in the photogallery
See ya

came here on a package tour of 3 nights and 4 days.
i had originally planned that this would be a byo operation but 12 days of meeting my internet girls in cebu and manila had me exhausted and pretty dried out. so i was happy to do some scuba diving, laying around the beach and playing wingman for the pal who came along.
we stayed at sea wind resort. it's an ok place, quiet and with nice grounds. neither the pool or the breakfast buffet are what they could be for this level of resort. the location is at the north end of white beach, so it's a bit of a walk to most of the restaurants and drinking places. but cocomangas, which turned out to be the best pickup place, is reasonably close. the resort was girl friendly, and in any case the security was a bit sleepy and didn't always know we were coming back.
it is low season right now so there may not be as much action to be had compared to other times of year. we walked up and down the beach and mostly it's pretty sedate. there is some live music in the form of quiet guitar strumming. but cocomangas had by far the highest concentration of freelancers, pimps flogging their stable of girls and just normal girls that were perhaps just off work from their resort jobs. it was packed every night (wednesday to friday nights when we were there), mostly with locals or filipinos from elsewhere and only a rep001tering of tourists. those of you who have been to dumaguete may be reminded of the why not music box as it is on weekends.
the asking rate started at 1500 and was easily brought down to 1000. it's probably possible to bring it down more for those with the will to drive a harder deal.
the selection of girls was actually quite good, not as hard core as i was expecting. some of the girls were between jobs or just topping off the income they were already getting.
elsewhere it will be very much hit and miss. there are lots of korean tourists but they're mostly in groups, not the singles or pairs that you really need to make an approach. you may find some stray opportunities up and down the beach or in the daytime when you go diving or whatever. also, if you're here for longer you may strike up a relationship with a waitress or shopgirl.
5 days here meeting internet girls and checking into the P4P scene. Spanish speakers will like it here because the local dialect is Chavacano, which is the closest Filipino dialect to Spanish. If you ever come to a communication impasse just start throwing out Spanish words and more often than not they'll communicate.
Flew here on Cebu Pacific from Davao.
Hotel: Garden Orchid. It was girl friendly. Try to avoid having a room looking out onto the main road or you'll get to hear half the karaoke pros in town. Rate was 2100, breakfast included. Breakfast was pretty good with a choice of American, Filipino, or Continental. The place is right by the airport and you can even walk from the terminal in about 5 to 10 minutes. Has a lobby bar but I never saw anything to hit on.
Places:
Ground Zero: Not to be confused with it's more ballyhooed namesake in Davao, this is a disco on the ground floor of the Garden Orchid. Unfortunately the only night worth going here was Saturday. Other nights the place closed early for lack of customers. There were a lot of targets on Saturday night though. This place also has a biometric registration system so try and look presentable for your pic.
Alejandra's: Sort of a mini version of places like The Venue and Auto Club in Davao. A few restaurants outside and an enclosed live band/disco. Also has a karaoke area which is mercifully enclosed. The band is pretty good and on the Saturday night I went there it was about half and half between men and women. It's better to approach girls outside where it's quiet enough to have a conversation. It's about a 5 to 10 minute ride from Garden Orchid on one of the 'trisikels' (the main way to get around).
Latitude: Another disco/live band in the downtown area. It's on two floors but a bit compact. Even on the weeknight I went it was pretty happening. On Saturday night it was full and wasn't letting more people in.
Mindpro Mall: The place to go to wander and chat up the babes. Got lots of eye contact when alone and even more when with another girl.
Filipino Barbecues: Or Lechon Manok or whatever. There are several of these on the road between the hotel and town. They're good places to take a date or to try to chat someone up. My favorite was Shamba, just down the road from my hotel and in a gas station parking lot. It's got good grounds and is quiet and secluded, a good makeout possibility for making the first moves to get someone in bed.
Videokes: Several of these on the road leading from the airport and past the Garden Orchid. I went to Rodelios, next to where Shamba is. Most of the girls are pretty average but there were a couple of lookers. The mamasan wanted 2500 for a barfine. I just agreed to meet the girl later and paid her 1500 for short time.
Strip Bar: There's one right by the airport entrance. I was there near closing time and the mamasan told me I didn't need to pay a barfine. But I didn't see an available girl so I just left after a couple of drinks.
Beach: I went to Bolong Beach with a girl's family. This is about a 40-minute ride south and west from town. The beach is just so so and suffers from the usual Filipino beach blights: Lots of trash everywhere and mangy nasty dogs hanging around. I was told there's a jellyfish problem but I took a swim with no ill effects.
Security: Never had a tense moment. A brief altercation between the bar girls and some idiot customer was the only confrontation of any sort that I saw. Zamboanga is majority Christian and so are most of the towns on the road from the city to Bolong Beach. If there were any dangers you would see the tension in the faces of the locals but everyone was relaxed wherever I went.
Girls: The girls can be a mix of Chavacano, Visayan or Ilongo speakers. Only one of the girls let me get physical. Some of the others were a bit flakey or seemed to be in cahoots with gay boy scams. Just be smart and you'll get by okay.
Thanks for a good report! My experiences are quite similar. I am a diver too and stayed at Riseros´. I sent a private message to you, but got it back. You cannot receive private messages?

Hanqe

Message from the girl I just left here: 'Take care always, I will miss you on bed.'
I squeezed 3 days in this place. I'd like to stay longer but the days are flying off the calendar and I've got to stay on the move if I want to visit all the places I planned to in these 2 months.
My entire time here was with one chat friend girl who attacked my body from nearly our first moments together. She did admonish me not to tell our common chat friends, so she can preserve her virginal reputation (haha!)
I stayed in Leyte Park Resort, built in 1980 and showing its age some. The standard rooms are adequate at 2000 a night. Half of the pool looks nice and half looks kind of scuzzy. The breakfasts are just okay, maybe better just to order the American breakfast than dealing with the buffet.
A great source of information here is at the floating boat restaurant off to the side of the resort. Just turn left from the front and go down the hill past the basketball gym, the indoor shooting range and out to the dock. Most nights there will be grizzled old expats with decades of Philippines experience. They can advise you on the gamut of relationships with the local women, from marriage all the way down. Also, there are several tasty looking waitresses here that you might try hitting on. The restaurant on dock pilings next to here is also good. The owner of the boat restaurant also operates the only diving that I heard of. He charges $100 for a dive trip over to Marabut Reserve off of Samar. It includes the boat and gear and also any companions you want to bring.
At the gate of the resort are a collection of outdoor eating places that may be a happy hunting ground. There's a KTV there also.
My girl told me about Inzomnia Disco, a few minutes ride away. But she wouldn't let me go there, saying I would 'for sure pick up chickies there.' Unfortunately I was never able to make my escape and go check it out.
Some great posts by Mahku. I've always wondered about a trip to Leyte / Samar, but never heard much that sounded inviting. Of course if you want to experience just a little of Leyte / Samar you will find many of the working girls come from these apparently poorer than average provinces.
Any chance you will make it to Negros? Too bad about the oil spill.
Apparently, Subic is NOW being affected by oil. I don't think it is the same spill. Just do Google search if you want more info.

Anyone here in Butuan want to hang out and have a drink?..................................................................................................................................Well, c'mon don't everyone pop up all at once now!
As for Negros I'll probably make my usual 3 to 4 day stop in Dumaguete but that's all. I had plans to go to Iloilo and Guimaras but I'm down to 17 days left so I may have to cut it out. I've heard from my contact there that the oil spill isn't as bad as the media is making it.
This North Mindanao bit will probably take at least 9 days between Butuan, Duka Bay Resort for diving and Cagayan de Oro. I hung around in Davao for too long and now I'm having to rush the other places I want to visit. That's the problem with Davao. It's so good that it's hard to leave there.
"It's quiet tonight." said the Almont Inland Resort waiter at 9:30 in the evening as I was looking across at the bar being closed already. Actually there were more people about than the other nights I was around. After I told the guy that Butuan is the deadest, quietest town of its size that I've been to in the Philippines he giggled nervously and shuffled off like Filipinos always do when confronted with foreigners' bluntness.
There's just something profound dull about Butuan. There are a few places that try. Moof's, out in front of the resort, has a DJ and indoor/outdoor seating area. It could be something but it's cramped inside, no place to dance, and the aircon isn't nearly strong enough. There's a Caraga Square, an outdoor live band and bar area. But the night that we went there they had an exclusive party on and weren't letting in the general public. Now I don't mind these things in Cebu or Davao but when the number of decent places in a town can be counted on a very few fingers it's annoying when a place is bought out for the night. Directly across from the resort is U Turn, a piano bar. They distinguished themselves by having a cover charge even though it was absolutely empty at midnight on a Friday. Way to encourage customers guys.
One place that a monger on the hunt may try is down the road about a mile from Inland Resort towards the airport. There's a Butuan Doctor's College there, with the usual waves of cutely uniformed girlies. There are a couple of canteens and coffee shops across the street from the college where you can set up and wait for your prey. I got a couple of numbers for future visits this way. My girl took me to an outdoor disco set up one night in a vacant lot next to the college. It was full of writhing bodies, including ours, but I'm afraid it was a one off event or very occasional.
My girl was a bit of a flake. She was all over me one night, anything goes. Then the next nights she was very standoffish. I suspect she has a boyfriend and was afraid of being caught. So accept for the one night Butuan was a bit 'dry.'
Inland Resort is just okay. The pool is nice. It's 3000 pesos for rooms around the pool, 2500 for standard rooms at the back. But be aware these rooms can be WAY at the back, so that you're walking a third of a mile from there to the front gate. I started avoiding the bar because the bartender was always whining and crying about how poor he is. The service kind of comes and goes, par for the course in this country. Not far away there a convention hotel kind of place called Dottie's that might be an alternative.
All in all I would only come here if you're pretty sure you have a dependable contact. For pure hunting you're better off in about a dozen other cities in this country before here.
There's a fairly decent beach resort at this place halfway between Butuan and Cagayan. It has pretty good diving actually. There's an operation here to create and regenerate coral and it's getting some impressive results.
The beach is just adequate. It's sort of grayish sand with lots of pebbles and shells. In fact this is the norm for most beaches in the Philippines outside of Boracay and a very few other places. But it's a nice place to bring a girl or maybe hook up with one from the nearby towns of Gingoog and Medina, both of which have a decent number represented on various chat sites.
"I can't make it home tonight. Can I stay in your room?" my CB chat friend said as we sat in Club Mojo. I, with my usual deep concern for homeless everywhere, consented to this imposition.
A dilemma that happens all too often is when the girl you've arranged to meet is accompanied by a friend that's even hotter. And I really hit it off with the hot friend in the karaoke room. But my original girl (not so bad looking herself) was onto us and got between us. And no surprise that this friend didn't come along the next night, some story about having a headache or something. No matter, I have her contact info.
Cagayan expat old guy chic: It's all in the gray-haired pony tail....
It was good to get to Cagayan after lackluster Butuan and out in the boonies Duka Bay. It's a town with several colleges, so lots of young beauties walking around. I was pleased to see that the number of venues for hunting has increased over last year, not that I really had a chance to try since my needs were taken care of.
Divisoria, a street of half a mile or so in the middle of town, has an area with park space, fountains and other public areas. At one end, just outside the gates of Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan, is a new cafe. I saw lots of student girlie types gathered here in the evening and at lunch time. For weekend nights the whole street is blocked off to cars and lots of market stalls are set up. It's a vibrant street scene that could offer many opportunities.
Xcite, the live band place across from Dynasty Court Hotel, has been split up into 2 places. There's Club Mojo, which I went to with my girl and her friends. The band was pretty good there. The other place is called Pulse, which I didn't get into. But I was told it's also a live band place. Also in this area is an upstairs billiards bar which has been good for afternoon to early evening hunting, a coffee shop downstairs from it, and La Togela Italian Restaurant. Serving sizes are big at the restaurant so if you're with 2 girls have them just order one thing and split it.
The Site, over by Limketkai Mall, has another live band place that I went to last year. It sort of had a bohemian thing going at the time. Downstairs from that is a coffee shop and there's a Karaoke bar here that I took the girls to. You can get a private room but it's not a hanky panky situation with a window on the door. You can still grope around a lot and do bump and grind dancing.
Dynasty Court has a live band bar on the top floor, but only on weekends right now. The lobby is being renovated at the moment so checkin is on the 2nd floor. You have to walk up the stairs to get to it. Otherwise the hotel is just OK. I got the deluxe room for 1700. You can get a cheaper standard room but there's not window. It's guest friendly here and they very helpfully give you a breakfast coupon for 2. Pryce Plaza, where I usually stay, was filled up with some jerkoff convention.
Badabing. This is a Filipino style go go bar. I finally made it in here after meaning to for a long time. But I had a bit of a misfire this time. The girl told me I could get a private room for 1500 including lots of drinks and anything goes. But when we got there she wanted 2000 more to do the deed. We reached an impasse and after calling the manager and explaining what the girl said to entice me to the back room he refunded the room charge. So it didn't go well that time but the bar handled it well and I think it's to be recommended. The girl also offered to meet me outside for 1000 but by this time I was a little put off. Lots of good lookers in this place.
It is my first experience to the philippines, not for trying bar girls but I was there to meet my wife to be, Well my round trip plane ticket cost $980 from San Diego to cagayan de oro, I arrived in Manila aug. 20 I had to stay overnight in manila so I can make my morning flight, so I met my girlfriend at manila airport it took her 3 minutes to spot me in crowd it's a good thing I told her what I be wearing what type of cap and color of my backpack, after she spotted me she was so happy since we met on yahoo chat almost 2 years ago anyways she was so happy it's like she hadn't seen me in years, well we took a cab to a hotel in pasay city not far from airport sorry I can't remember the hotel name we stayed for a night it cost about 1, 900 pesos it included breakfast and you can exchange money at hotel as they say it's better that you let the girl you are with to have her exchange money for you, so you can get the correct exchange, she made sure that it's correct amount, At least the hotel has cable TV, the room is nice and clean, One thing the city style reminds me of Tj old buildings, outdoor markets, street venders, taxi's everywhere except the taxi in phili the cars are more modern like Tj taxi's most of cars are more older, And there is a funny looking bus thingy called jeepny? I like the art work on them, there is a lot of moter/and cycle taxi type of thing In manila and cagayan, very intresting. Well we went to mall and the food is cheap there and their grocery too, my girlfriend told me the food is cheaper in cagayan than manila but grocery almost the same. After the mall trip went back to hotel went to bed my girlfriend cuddle up with me all night long and held me tight, I couldn't move that much in bed, LOL! The next day we had breakfast and head to airport going to cagayan. (Important Note! When making flights to other citys in phili, you have to pay some kind of departure fee whatever that is if you go to cagayan or other city the fee cost 200 peso $4usd and going on International flight cost is 550p/ $10. 90usd. Please be aware of that! )I thought the plane was going to be small a commuter plane, I was surprised it was a some what larger jet plane, the flight took about 40 min? Well we made it to cagayan the airport is small. Cagayan is a very nice area took a cab we went to hotel it cost about 950 peso almost 19 usd. The room is nice I'm not picky. There is a cafe bakery across the street she is right the food is cheaper but the cafe food is good, next day we went to another hotel my girlfriend used to work there, The hotel name is Bonair Inn, located on Don Sergio Osmena street. The room cost me about 550p about 11usd the room is kinda of smaller I like it I'm not fussy but the bathroom is small but I don't care the room is cheaper. Well I will finish my report next time I have to go back to work in the morning Blaaa! I really like it there in cagayan!
Big Fun posted positive comments about Amanpulo (along with photos of his stunning lady).
Thought I would second the vote. I have visited Amanpulo several times. It is pricey but, IMHO, one of the best beach resorts to relax on in all the PI. SCUBA diving is just so so but available.
Beach is even better than Borocay.

Made it over here for a couple of days last week. I had to choose between here and Dumaguete, and I went with Iloilo since I hadn't been here before. Would it have been better to go to Dumaguete? Probably, and I really missed the good times that I would have had there plus the diving. But still it's good to venture out of one's comfort zone and explore new territory.
In Iloilo I had a supplier of talent, a fortyish lady whom I've known for 3 years now. ISGers visiting Iloilo can PM me for contact details. She has lots of acquaintances of the sweet and innocent variety, just the type I like to work on. She introduced me to about 7 girls in 2 days, only one of which came through in a bedroom kind of way. But that was enough.
The one that did come through was an illuminating look at Filipina juggling of the truth. At first she was claiming to be the "I ain't never been kissed or touched variety." Then after one beer she admitted she had one boyfriend in high school. After another beer she divulged the dreadful secret that she had been married for a while. I decided not to let her have another beer lest I find out she had been swinging from a pole in Angeles a couple of days before. Anyway, she had enough beer for my less than honorable purposes.
Iloilo has pretty decent nightlife. It isn't in the league of Cebu or Davao of course. But it is sort of tied for 4th largest city with Bacolod (another place I need to get to). So it's gotta have something. Probably the best place is a collection of bars called Smallville. A couple of them are al fresco-like with live bands. One of them is called Pier 16, with a large model ship out front. Smallville is on a street just off the highway coming in from the airport. Near here is a disco called MO2. It's enclosed and has a DJ spinning out the usual POP music sort of hits. These are all the places I had time for in 2 days but I think there are more.
I stayed at Sarabia Manor, paying something like 2600 a night. It's in a rambling sort of compound. There's a decent pool and a gym that you have to pay for. Also on the grounds is an internet cafe and an English language school that caters to Koreans. You may be able to chat up Korean girls that are sitting in the outdoor coffee shop.
just came back from mindanao, passed through cdo and stayed overnight
and decided to get out and look around vis a vis the mongering situation.
i found that the main disco "excite" just got a facelift and new management
who have dubbed the place " the pulse" monday night at 10 pm to 11 it was
almost deserted, live band pretty decent, 2 for 1 drink special. probably livelier on a weekend.
next door club mojo was rocking out, a younger trashier crowd. lots of young girls gave yours truly the hot eye, all looked ****.
llmado used to be a lively place for freelancers, dull as ditch carp at 1 am, live band, a few drunk filipinos at the front table. a few un attached females
either frightened off by my fearsome appearance or were with the band.
walked around the streets a bit near the outdoor market and "ali-ali" area in the main part of town which is roped off at night to pedestrian stroll. a few girls all giggly and friendly and a little troupe of transvestites who followed me around a bit, went back to the room and decided cable tv was more interesting.

Hi guys sorry been away from board for a while , I am moving to Tagyatay next month , my best friend is arranging a new appartment there for me.
Just wondering on information of bars etc on this small city! i know about the Taat volcano and the casino and the cool climate!
Oh the reason why was caught up in relationship but all gone now as she hooked up with an australia guy thinking he was better, silly girl cos he dumped her after 1 night, but his with my contacts i found his number here in australia and told him that i knew it and that he better send her back to her provience < So what started out to be a freebie cost him lots of pesos, one thing he has learnt never take another westerns girl!

I've been to Tagaytay twice, liked it, VERY freindly atmosphere, dont forget the horsenback riding. As far as mongering goes I imagine you can meet a lot of local girls, was there with a lady both times got lots of inviting looks etc. The upscale/rich Manila crowd tends to come down on the weekends and many actors/actresses/politicians have summer homes here. What I did notice is a number of resturaunt/videoke/dance combination type places. These were nicer more laid back affairs than the buckets of blood one often finds in the cities.
Poaching another mans lady at one time was an unpardoanable sin, there used to be an un written rule among expats in both Phils and Thailand . I mean with all the available pussy running around why try to snatch another one away from some other guy and cuase all the hard feeling/revenge etc.
I've noticed that younger mongers tend to be more into this, flirting or whatever with your GF/Wife, some of these guys don;t know the rules.

I personally found Tagaytay nothing too special, although it is a pleasant break from Manila's heat, traffic and pollution. It warrants a daytrip I suppose. For mountain scenery, the Halsema Highway North from Baguio through the Cordillera is much more impressive.

Thanks for the support SH , Totally agree with you . Even in australia we dont poach our mates girls. He made the mistake and i know he has learnt from it. I had got her into my church there and was on a church pinic at the beach, she never relised that i had people watching out for me. The worse thing was after i kicked her out she went to live in his appartment( he he he)
he was paying 16,000 peso a month and she told him i only paid 5,000 so he tried to move into the appartment next to me. I put a stop to that!!! i did speak to him 2 times cos he called me trying to get me to take her back!
thats when i told him his last name and where he lived there and his family lived here in australia that took me 2 days to get information. Lets just say he was a worried man ! If any other guys read this just remeber what goes around comes around, and what you think is a freebie often cost you twice as much as a bar fine.!!
Thanks for the info on Tagaytay, I will be ok as my filipino Brother of 4 years has new work there as a gm of the Taal Vista Hotel so i will be ok, Just wanted to have some of my own inside on this city.
I suppose i could always bring them down from manila !! (girls) but i dont know what the busses are like or any other transport as i will be traverling there by my brothers car !
Regards Porty.
PS
At least i won't have any problems of posting photo's of her now he he he.
that will teach her. I will down load them in the next week or too just wait ok lang!

Salamat CL for information. If you can elebrate a bit more on the bars as this trip in november is to sort out my appartment and stuff no time for searching for GF, just company for a few nights.
Porty,
You have no right to complain about your recent treatment after the way you left me in shitters ditch in April in Cebu. You might remember you had arranged to meet me at the airport and offered a couple of nights accomodation and company in mongering pursuits in my first visit to Cebu. Taking you at your word I didn't bother booking a hotel. Well needless to say you showed your true colours by not showing up and leaving me stranded. I managed OK and have been back in June 2006 and plan again in November 2006 but what a cowardly low life you are. You havent offered any explanation since that date and hide away till 6 months later when you come out from under your rock. All your friendly talk and promises were just that, Bullshit. I reckon you got your right whack. Porty Old Boy
Thanks for nothing you Ordinary Bloke

Thanks for nothing you Ordinary BlokeThat's what cell phones are for. To identify beforehand people who talk big on the 'net but don't come through in person.
I won't mention names, but a few posts before this, someone posts his direct criticism of another member. This person apparently doesn't know how to use the PM function. This person also mentions he has been to PI twice, yet he has a grand total of two posts. Maybe I suggest to this person that they attempt to contribute rather than attack.
Which reminds me of a PM I got a while back...guy was asking for specific information on a woman. He mentions that he goes to the Philippines two or three times a year. Same thing...grand total of two posts. Did he get the contact info...NOOOOOO.....
Guys, if you gain anything from ISG, then consider contributing. It doesn't have to be about women...hotel / restaurant reviews...airport hassles...whatever.

Sorry, off topic, but related to the last few posts...
It's not always possible to have a cell phone available on the first trip to the Philippines. I highly recommend buying one soon after arrival. I bought mine used and it has been a very good investment.
My next visit, I have to do some juggling of the ladies...if you know what I mean. How much does it cost to get a second sim card? I need to have two seperate numbers. One for the keeper, one for the others...
And lastly, never put all your eggs in one basket. That goes for women and it goes for friends you make here at ISG. People have last minute emergencies and can't always do what they say they will do. (yea, there should be apologies...in any event)
Now, this is the "other areas" thread. I'll pretty sure I'll be making a return visit to Alona Beach. I stayed at ISIS last time which was brand new back in Jan06. Has anyone stayed at Alona Kew? Any recommendations?

That's what cell phones are for. To identify beforehand people who talk big on the 'net but don't come through in person.
I won't be answering any more individual comments regarding my previous post except to say to Cbea why do you presume I had not had contact with Porty on the mobile phone I had on numerous occassions and that is why I was annoyed he did not turn up. To XMan I like your work but why do you presume I did not PM Porty about the matter. Jackson can confirm that I have made at least 26 PM's on this board so I do now how to use the PM function. The reason I said what I said and the medium I used to say it was because I never got any answer thru Mobile Phone, PM from the person concerned either thru ISG or thru Friendster (where I did send him a message). Yes, I agree, I don't post much of my experiences, thats true, but not everyone is as " out there" as you are, respect my privacy on that one. I pay my subsription to read the posts of fellow members (like you) and will comment when I feel like it, not just to make myself feel like a big man who shouts to the world his conquests and triumphs. I don't want to make enemies here, I was warning people to be careful about what they are told even by a fellow Aussie where we like to think that your mates come first. Regards to all. PM me if you wish but thats it for me on the subject.

XThe second SIM chip costs the same as the first, about $6 and it comes with some minutes. I bought my second when practicing the art of the delayed departure, telling two GFs and a gaggle of pro's that I was leaving three days earlier than I really was, in order to have undisturbed fun with a professional ATF. I also took the opportunity, on the advice of others, to switch from Smart to Globe. (If the Philippines SIM chip is in the phone, and the phone is turned on, they can tell you are still in-country because your phone will ring.)
you can buy SIM cards for 100 Piso ($2) on ground floor of Robinson's in Ermita. I know because I bought 2 last month for the reason identified by Xman.
WHY did "they" suggest you switch from Smart to Globe?
Thanks for the additional details.
If you'd rather not "shout to the world" about your conquests, then feel free to give restaurant or hotel reviews. Even repeat visitors like me can learn from from "fresher" faces.

Thanks Surfer and Cbea20 for the info. I have Globe and, yes, it seemed that they could tell if I was in country by calling since the phone rang. So, I want to use the different SIM (phone number) to stay "hidden". Rather than "delayed departure", I'm doing the "hidden arrival".
It's kind of bizarre sometimes. There was a Cebu bargirl who texted me shortly after arrival in Cebu, a full four months after I had met her on a previous trip. I had never paid her barfine, just bought her one drink, didn't tell her I was coming back and had not communicated with her since I bought her the drink. She probably goes through her whole list every once in a while just to find out who's in town. She was in my room and naked an hour after that.
I gave another Cebu girl a rough idea of my itinerary ...first manila, then Cebu. I bought a load as soon as I arrived at the airport and ten seconds later she calls! Coincidences?

My US-based cell phone can get Digitel, Globe and Smart. I've tried all three and Globe is all-around best, followed distantly by Smart, then a very distant last place Digitel.
this tourist spot seems all too clean for me, in terms of sex. i did visit the g-point bar/lounge on friday night, adjacent to the petron station. it was around 11:15 pm and there were only about 20 customers in there, one group of people who all knew each other, then a few rep001terings of couples. the live band was ok, and two of the girl singers were quite pleasing to watch. but other than that, no-nothin' from any girls there, waitresses, bartender, etc. from there i drove over to casino filipino, but another big zero except for getting multiple contacts from a lady-boy.
the raja shopping center, which is across the street from the starbucks complex that overlooks lake taal, is where i spend most of my evenings (unfortunately, working) at the 24-hour internet cafe. most if not all of the shopping center is korean-owned and operated. there is a massage place, but it just seemed too legit. one of the security guards insinuated that extra services are provided. having seen a couple of the girls who work there, i decided to give it a try. unfortunately, nothing. i was led to a small massage room in a well-lit hallway, and the room door had a window 2 feet high and 8" wide so that anyone walking up and down the hallway could observe whatever was going on inside. a non-private room is the first sign of disappointment.
the filipina girl, leah, was all business - for 500 pesos the massage was quite good, but not spectacular, and certainly not the least bit erotic or sensual. i did notice that the room right across from mine had a towel draped over the shut door, blocking the view into the room. instantly i thought, "aha. i bet money that if you're a korean dude, you can get extra service, otherwise, you're outta luck."
speaking of starbucks, i went there several nights just hoping i might get a glimpse of some potential game. again, zero. seemed like only the elite filipino youth, all of whom were hanging out together as groups or couples, go to these places. you know as well as i do that they didn't get there on their own merits - it's mommy and daddy's money that allows them to be born on third base - i just wish they didn't act as though they were the league leaders in hitting triples. they love to flaunt their high positions on the social ladder. every one of those girls ought to be sucking cock.
one last little report (which really isn't) - how do you know you're shopping in the philippines? if the number of people working in the store far outnumber the customers. i couldn't hardly move between aisles of the dasmarinas ace hardware store because of constantly running into employees, all of whom want to interest me in something i don't need - a sledge hammer, an automatic wheel washer, etc. one shop girl has seen me in there twice, both times with my filipina wife, but today i was shopping alone for the most part, and this young, cute girl followed me all over the store. the guys were teasing that she was free. i told her, they're just teasing you because they like you. about 45 minutes later, when i was in watson's drug store, she surprised me by walking up and grabbing my arm and greeting me like we were having a surprise encounter after not seeing each other for 2 months. then she went off w/ some co-workers on a food break. later i actually remembered something i meant to buy at ace, and i ran into her again, having returned from her break. long story longer, she gave me her cell phone number and home land line number. i told her i'd call and take her out for a christmas dinner sometime. i felt my johnson swelling with pride as i strolled away from her toward the check-out line.
other than that, i'm writing off tagaytay. you won't see any more posts from me unless something happens with the ace girl, and maybe not even then because it won't be a repeatable experience - it's definitely a one-off thing and i've never had it happen before, in any country (certainly not in the u.s.).
excellent report Mr. Vee. HoltonCowboy has also posted some useful information about getting action in the areas surrounding Manila to the South and which sound much better than tgayaytay. These areas are not discussed much on the web and sound very interesting. Having a rental car would seem necessary to really explore those outlying areas as taxi fares would get steep and stuff is quite spread out.
i know i said i wouldn't, but i did ... i revisited the raja shopping center's korean massage place. i talked to the guy who manages it, and this time i had a better overall experience, but still nothing erotic. that being said, i won't say anymore about it, except that if all you want is a good massage, then you'll get one there, for 500p. i still think "other stuff" goes on somewhere inside those rooms, but just not for me, for whatever reason.
having a car, i decided to backtrack along aguinaldo hwy, heading away from tagaytay into the general direction of dasmarinas (if you continued that direction, you'd be back in makati). about 10 miles up the road, on the right, i wanted to check out something i saw the other day but didn't have time to stop. there's a one-horse town of sorts (no traffic light) that has a couple of bars with one big neon sign (about 12' high) with the outline of a curvy woman lit up red. there actually are 3 bars (that i saw) and since it was close to 2 am, there wasn't much going on, as you'd expect. i parked further in the back, in front of a place called "chick point" or "chick place" - can't remember. there were three girls sitting at the entrance to the place and what sounded like tejano music blaring from the inside.
i turned and went to check out the front-row bars first, but there wasn't much of anyone or anything going on. quite dirty places, actually, but the guy (homo) who greeted me encouraged me to sit down for awhile and he'd bring a girl out. her name is "juliana", probably 21 years old, 5'1" and fairly cute for a girl far from her home in manila.
i wanted to take her for s/t just so i could blow a wad (haven't done that in too many days now ... whoever the next girl is will have a huge load dumped on her - lol).
short version: nothing. juliana wanted me to stay for awhile and listen to her sing karaoke (i hate that shit!), but it was now close to 3 am and i realized i wasn't "getting" anything. she wanted me to come back tonight and go to the vip room with her.
bottom line: i think these places are like u.s. strip clubs, but without any stripping! forget it. i think if you wanted to visit one of these places 3-4 times and get to know a girl, then something might develop. who's got time and money for that shit?! besides, i'll be in bangkok tomorrow, and about this time 24 hours from now, i'll be enjoying oral and other sex with two bi-girls for 90 minutes. if i really like them, i'll invite them to come spend the night with me after their shift ends at midnight. yippee! apologies to you philippines fans out there, but compared to thailand, philippines sucks (and **not** the way i want the philippines to suck!).

I recently came back from a Travel Conference in Iloilo City and While I was busy,I went out twice acting as a sort of guide to some first timers to Iloilo.We discovered it is a religous city dominated by the Catholic church.Thus there were no KTV s or Stripclubs in the city.The Clubs that opened were picketed and vandalized by the locals until they closed.To cite an example About 7-8 years ago,They forced the casino to close down by picketing it daily and throwing stones to break the windows of the casino,When the Casino people protested and asked for police help.The Mayor refused and even announced that they would NOT FILE ANY charges against anybody vandalizing the casino.The next day the Mayor was himself leading the people in picketing and vandalizing the Casino.Ditto for the Bikini Carwash,Strip Clubs etc.Picketing and Vandalizing by the locals who destroy customers cars quickly forced them to close
On a positive lot,There is a complex called Smallville where you can pick up freelancers as some of my companions did,These are a couple of bars and clubs.Likewise there are a couple of discrete casas where you can order takeout,My friend was able to order room service for about 2,500 from the Bellboy.Looks 6-7.Cant speak for her service since I did not ask.Iloilo has some nice old churches and the Miago Cathedral is on the list of world heritage sites.Good seafood but for mongering give it a miss.
I've known several very nice girls from Iloilo area in Manila, and with a large university there must be some nice nonpro opportunities although you see quite few on CherryBlossoms.
Any Boracay quality beaches on that sideCL? Good diving?

There are a couple of places along Aguinaldo Highway which have takeout.These are in Dasmarinas and Imus.
Leyte
In Angeles City most of the girls tell me that they originate from either Leyte or Samar, which are neighbouring large islands. Samar is to the north and Leyte to the south. Just to give you a reference mark for those who are not familiar, on the map, the southern part of Leyte is about level laterally with Cebu.
I caught a Cebu Pacific Air Bus from Manila to Tacloban the largest city in Leyte. It is so big that it has one McDonalds LOL. The flight took around 1 hour and 15 minutes. I have learned the hard way to ask for a “promotion” at every travel agent and every hotel I go to in the Philippines. Some how, most places seem to offer you a huge discount if you ask for this every time. The normal price for a round trip ticket in this case was 7,000 pesos, as soon as I asked for the promotion price, it came down to 3,750 pesos for the same ticket! A bargain! On arrival to the domestic airport I checked in and entered the departure lounge. As you enter on the right is a great project. It is a massage room run by the blind association and they do an excellent massage and I never miss the opportunity any time I fly domestic. So after my 45-minute great massage for 300 pesos I was on board and on my way.
Tacloban airport is not much to look at, just a lousy open-air hanger and many porters waiting to help you for a tip.
The taxi fare is negotiated at between 200 and 250 pesos for an air-conditioned old van. That’s as good as you will get here. Lol.
I checked into the Leyte Park Resort Hotel still owned by the Marcos Family. It is a run down version of a once magnificent beach resort. They are renovating rooms slowly but most are in original run down condition. The advantages are that no one will bother you if you take guests there 24/7 and the centre of town is only a 10 pesos trike ride away, yes that’s right 10 pesos only!
I asked how much for a double air-conditioned room and they said 2,200 pesos for the night. Again I used my trusty and well-worn question that has saved me $$$$ in the Philippines over the years and asked, “Do you have a promotion”. The receptionist looked at me with a sad face and said, “I will call the Manager.” Well at this point I wasn’t sure it this was good or bad lol. After a brief chat on the phone she said, “The promotion price is 1,450 pesos.” This was for the exact same room! J It worked again.
After settling in I took a trike to the centre of town, which is the Geysano shopping mall across the street from McDonalds. I walked around and felt safe at all times. I was the only foreigner I saw there that day. Because of this, I was stared at by most of the people who saw me. At first this made me a little uneasy but I soon saw that their intentions where good and I was fine about it. All the children smiled and waved at me in big groups and said, “Hello Joe,” obviously a through back nick name from the war era for Americans (even though I am Australian lol). The men just looked and were not to sure how to behave until I smiled then they all smiled back and the girls, well let me tell you, it was an amazing reaction. I felt like a movie star. Not one ***** in site yet I could pants any one I choose. This is the life for me I thought to myself lol.
After walking around the streets for an hour or so and getting continuous stars and welcoming smiles from all the pretty, shy girls, I thought I should put my feelings to the test. I had heard that it is the practise in the Philippines, not to hire girls under 5 foot 4 inches in departments stores as shop assistance so I was in the mood for a tall one this day. I slipped in to Geysano’s Mall and checked out the girls working there. They were cute, tall and by the look of the stares, ready to rock! I checked things out for an other 15 minutes and then spotted my prey for the day. She was about 5 foot 7 inches, with short straight hair and a face and body to die for. I smiled and she smiled back. I walked up to her and asked her about some jeans that were in her section. She seemed to speak good English but acted a little shy. After a few minutes of small talk, I asked her what time she finished work and she said in 25 minutes. I then asked if she had a cell phone to which she said no. I had purchased a bag of broken old black and white cell phones at auction in my city before leaving for the Philippines for exactly this situation. I had them all checked and repaired in Manila for 200 pesos each and I paid about that for them at auction. I grabbed one of my old cell phones out of my pocket and handed it to this girl as she stood there in amazement. I said, “Can I call you in 30 minutes?” She said “Really?” I said “Yep.” She says in an excited voice, “I wait for you call na!” By this time all her work mates had huddled together pointing and gossiping and giggling about what had happened. As I looked at them they were all smiling and waiving at me. I suddenly felt 10-foot tall and bulletproof lol.
I called my baby as I said I would and she answered the phone in a very excited voice. I told her to take a trike to the Leyte Park Resort and I would meet her at my end and pay the 10 pesos for the trike. She kept saying, “Really?” repeatedly which was a bit annoying lol. She arrived in about 8 minutes and I paid the trike and took her to the bar for a drink. She was so excited I thought she was going to jump out of her skin. We had a drink and chatted a little then I told her I liked her and wanted to take a few photos of her for remembrance. She agreed. We went to my room and then I dropped my new Fiji F470 6 mega pixel pocket cam and broken the auto focus, which pissed me off no end. As she comforted me and apologised for the accident, we started kissing and in 15 minutes we were naked and going for it hell for leather on the bed. She was clean and sweet and obviously no virgin lol. Once we had had a few rounds she took a shower then got dressed. She said she should go home now or her Family will worry. At this point she handed me back the cell phone I had lent her. I put in back in her hand and closed her fist around it and said “This is a pasalubong (gift) for you because you are so special.” Well I though she was about to burst into tears. She kept saying, “This is for me? Really, for me?” LOL. As if I had given her the winning lottery ticket or something other than a $5, eight-year-old cell phone lol. She said, “So you will call me tomorrow?” I replied “Of Course LOL.” I just left out the word NOT at the end.
I was in Tacloban 3 days and repeated this 5 times and it worked every time bar 1 when the girl was an 18 year old virgin and she wanted me to meet her Family before she came to my hotel. I don’t think so lol.
In conclusion, Tacloban has a few bars, a couple of discos and nice restaurants such as the seafood place called Ocho, which is great and cheap. Any taxi or trike driver will show them al to you as this is a small town. I could not find any P4P but I didn’t look hard and I didn’t need it. I heard trike drivers can hook you up with P4P for between 500 to 1,000 pesos I was told this but as I said, I didn’t need it this trip.
The only thing I can see as a problem here is that each and every girl here thinks that if you fuck her, you will marry her or at least be her long-term steady boy friend. This is no issue if you are there for a short time but if you plan to stay say 2 weeks or more, it could become an issue as your girls see you on the street with other girls. I heard Fathers and brothers do get involved to uphold the girl’s honour. I suggest you hit them hard, hit them fast, then get the fuck out of there. Lol.
Samar, more promiscuous than Leyte I found. Story coming up soon.
Great report. Innovative approach.

Great report. Innovative approach.

Thanks I think you are the first to read it or at east comment. I appreciate it.
Cheers
blastoff mate,
a couple of great reports mate. you certainly are one of the most adventurous mongers amoungst us all. not only did you break new ground on your recent trip to kenya, it would appear, you have done so here as well.
look forward to further reports on your trip. i`m definately on for the philippines/thailand some time next year. expect me to be asking of you some advice on my travels.
on a personal note mate, i`ve had to postpone my ghana trip this month until the new year so i`ve have been in a saulk for several days. anyway, i made an arrangement with father christmas to slide some pussy down my chimney at the end of the month, so all is not lost.
keep up the good work.

blastoff will relate to this small-town story.
having returned to the philippines from bangkok, i haven't felt like ongering. shot all my ammo in bkk (lol). but on my second night back in tagaytay, i was working in the internet cafe per usual. ten rowdy teenagers came to the cafe around 11 pm to have a lan party, so i decided to pack up and
go have a drink.
i went back to the g-point bar and had barely sat down w/ my first drink (a 'vodka grape' special, for 55p) when i feel a tap on my shoulder. it's maui (mow-ee), the girl who tends the wine shop adjacent to g-point bar. i invite her to join me, and she does, soon followed by an offer to give me a massage.
by 1:30 am we left the bar, bought some stuff at the 7-11 for her kids, then to a short-time hotel.
she did give me a bonafide massage and at the end of that she laid down and was quickly asleep.
by now it's around 3:30 am, and i'm thinking that either something else needs to happen or i need to take her home. i decided, what the hell, and started undressing her, and wrapped her fingers around my cock.
once i got her pants off, i explored the triangle and decided all was well, so i woke her up with a mild tongue lashing. soon we're fucking and she's worried about pregnancy, but i assure her that i had a vasectomy (it's true). two things she wanted: lights out and fast, jackhammer strokes. i like lights on and slow, methodical pumping action. oh well. after 5-6 minutes i came anyway, and was happy that our time was up.
nice girl, but she started talking about all her financial difficulties and wanted me to send her a 1500-peso allowance every week to help her out. ha! it never ceases to amaze me how many people are out there who seem to expect that someone somewhere will just give them money. hmmmm. let's see: i work. i earn money. i manage my money. so she clearly thinks i'm going to set up a weekly electronic transfer of money from my account in the states into her bank account in the philippines. suuuuuurrrrre.
she also starts talking in terms of relationship and marriage. she wants me to pick her and her two kids up @ jollibee at 10 am saturday, to take them shopping at shoemart in dasmarinas.
none of that is going to happen (nor can it, even i wanted to). i did give her 1500 pesos (about $32).
combine that with the 7-11 purchases and the s/t hotel bill, the drinks at the g-point bar, and i spent around $50 for the (ahem) shooting match. i consider that a good value for what i got.
she's about 4'11" and probably no more than 85 pounds, and she says she's 21 but i think she's mid- to late-20s. definitely an asian milf, though.
bottom line: i think if you are in tagaytay only for a couple of days, as most tourists are, your odds of finding a service provider are quite low. if, however, you stay here several weeks, as i am, then the odds
increase in favor you you getting some action. my experience (above) would not have happened if not for two pre-meditated conditions: (1) i made it a point to return to the same bar enough times to be an accepted part of the scenery. (2) i kept an eye out for any chance meeting, and followed up accordingly. spending some extra cash here and there also will help out your cause. for example, i get to know the waitresses/bartenders by name, even a security guard or two. i tip the waitresses and even the band. last night's band had one male keyboardist and three fairly hot filipina singers. i gave them a tip during their break, just saying that i wanted to express my enjoyment of their show. one of the girls gave me a contact card with phone & e-mail address on it. lol
the worst and trickiest part (imho) about getting girls in this fashion is that they are most likely non-"working" girls. therefore, you pretty much have to play the game and at least act or pretend that the whole relationship
thing is what you're about. personally, i prefer just to go into a massage parlor or grab a girl from greenbelt, and then all the cards are on the table. both sides know what its all about - money and sex. a lot less complicated that way. my situation now is somewhat of a moral and logistical dilemma because there's a girl out there who's expecting she and i are going to be together, and that just can't happen. even if i wasn't already attached/married, there's no way i'd lavish a bunch of time and money on someone i just met, especially with the two-kids factor. the other down side to the approach i took is that maui is almost certainly going to be at the g-point bar, and/or she'll have her acquaintances there on the look-out for me. i'd like to go back to that bar, but i'm only here 3 more days - probably just find some other bar to go to.
Leyte,
Samar, more promiscuous than Leyte I found. Story coming up soon.Great report, I am anxiously awaiting your Samar report! So many islands, so little time, your report is definitely a big help!
The info for Palawan here is rather thin. Can anyone provide a quick 411? If not, I will do my best to do some investigative journalism this coming January. Thanks in advance.
Lev
no difficulkty finding one to go witrh you, but Palawan is the frontier and even PP is a mere town, not a city.
Without retrieving maps and old documents, I'll try to tell about when I went to Palawan in 2001 for 5 weeks. I was recovering from back surgery and a horrible divorce. The flight o Manila was the usual long monotonous experience. Long story short, I met an unemployed nurse hottie in Quezon City and asked her if she wanted to go with me to a resort in Palawan. At first, she wanted to bring a companion but, then I said that I couldn't take two. She eventually came with me on the grounds that I get her her own room and that I pay her for being my nurses. I really didn't need a nurse because the resort had a Dr there who came in and was to report to my Dr in the US if my stainless steele seutures became abnormally red. We got a flight to Palawan via PI airlines. It was so cheap, I can't remember how much unless I looked at my old documents. We landed on this airport, there were goats tied up at the terminal. A jeep employed by the resort took us to the boat area. I had to lay down on my stomach during the ride from the terminal to the dock. We passed through several villages that had only bamboo huts and no electricity ever... a basketball court in the center of the village. One thing you should know: Even the good girl Filipinas are the horniest women on earth. There are 35 year old virgins all over the PI. I rubbed my nurse's smooth brown legs the entire ride. When she stood up, she had a steam of wetness down her leg she couldn't control. This poor thing was about to be deflowered. The driver dropped us off at a dock. The dock was about 3/4 mile long leading through swamps to a boat dock. The boat ride was aout 45 min and took us to a small island where the resort was located. Although most things in the PI are cheap, that resort was outrageously expensive. The resort was full of Euro families who took all the overpriced canoo tours around the island in through caves. My nurse had her room for one night but, she never stayed in it. She moved in with me the 2nd night. I rehabbed by walking up the mountain, eventually every day 3 times-a-day. The first few days, sex was very painful for her. After the 4th time, she was insatiable. It was 5 weeks of sex and mountain hiking. I was coming off a divorce and didn't want a fast relationship. I wish I didn't have to break her heart.
It sounds like nice Miss Maui brought you to a point to feel guilty and you should have pitty on her.
But reading your story I guess she is professional enough to know what she does and how it (almost always) ends when dating a traveler. Unlikely her first date with a foreigner.
She piled on the pressure and the reaction will - more often than not - be as your's reported here.
It seems to me that either she thought she can get the gift fast and for free (without working for it) or she is somehow fallen behind.
But I tip on the former and with her two kids she has had already experience with the opposite gender and so was given the chance to learn about life.
You probably had the logistical dilemma because which guy want to run into Maui again and discuss with her that issue? Even when you know she is playing her game, the situation is not so comfortable that you wanna get into it unsolicited.
My conclusion is that the moral dilemma is on her side and given that she doesn't deserve it any better until she adapts to realism or honesty.
From Tacloban in Leyte where the airplane lands, it is about a two and a half hour road trip north in an air-conditioned van leaving from either the Tacloban office of Grand Tours or there is now a new van depot about 10 minutes out of town. There you can catch all the van companies who travel all over Samar and Leyte. The trip to Catbalogan varies from company to company but ranges from 100 pesos to 150 pesos per person each way. Vans leave bout every 30 minutes in day time hours so there is no need to book.
Once in Catbalogan, I stayed at the Rolet Hotel which is reputably the best hotel in town and is centrally located and girl friendly. The rack rate was 950 pesos per night for a double room so I didn’t negotiate. The hotel has air-con rooms and is clean and well maintained but the rooms have no windows so it feels a little bit like a jail cell lol. Girl friendly for sure in fact the receptionist was VERY interested in visiting me in my room but as she was in her early thirties and had a Mommy tummy, I was not interested.
Catbalogan is a small city on the sea. It is typical of many small cities in the Philippines. The only difference is that the girls working in shops and walking on the street and riding in trikes are VERY forward in speaking with you and asking if you have a girl friend and if you are interested to get to know them with the view of being their boy friend. Everywhere I went I was constantly hit on by non-pros. It was quiet a blast. A new (small) shopping mall was opened the day I arrived. The city was buzzing with people coming from the provinces to check it out. It was a crap mall to our standards.
There are two bars I found while I was there. They are NOT like Angeles City bars LOL. They are normal bars where the locals go to drink and have fun on weekends but due to the popularity of me being a foreigner, it is too easy to pick up. The name of the biggest bar is “Eclipse” and the other one was undergoing renovations and was going to re-open in November 2006. It was formally know and “”Mads” but was changing it’s name to “Sooners” the Manager told me. They both have bands playing on weekends and the places are packed. Easy pickings but don’t be too loud and aggressive as the local boys take offence to this behaviour in this small town and they will likely have something to say about it. Just be low key and chat to girls who give you the eye. It’s that easy.
The girls here don’t ask for money. They go with you to try and convince you to be their boy friend and eventually support them financially. Yes even here the girls have agendas lol.
It is dead easy to pick up in this town any time of the day or night just by walking around. In the days I was there I saw only one foreigner on the street other than myself.
I was told by a few trike drivers that they can arrange pros to your room if you want them for between 500 and 1,000 pesos but I am guessing that the girls would most likely be a friend or a relative of the driver.
Trike rides here are the cheapest I have ever seen at 3 pesos per person and 95% of the trikes have no engines just bicycles strapped to a sidecar lol. Amazingly they use these trikes for transporting anything not only people. I saw several large black pigs transported alive on a pedal trike lol. I wonder if the pig had the right change when it arrived at its destination J.
Everything is noticeably cheap. The cost of living here is amazingly low. Restaurants, transport, cloths, food (fresh fish in the markets is as low as 50 pesos a kilo) everything is just so cheap compared to Manila or Angeles City, I would say 50% to 80% less. You could live like a king here on USD$200 per week including rent and electricity.
I walked around the first day and was propositioned by several shop assistance. I chose a 19-year-old girl who said she was originally from Manila. We met after work, had a bite to eat close by, and then went to my room. Easy as that most times unless they are virgins. Then they will want you to marry them so be aware, as their Families will hunt you down if you take her cherry and dump her and stay in town. I picked up other girls most anywhere. They will all be smiling and giggling as you walk past. Just smile back and ask them their name and you are in. It is that easy there.
Advice.
As I mentioned in my Leyte report, this is not the place to be a playboy for a long time. You will get brothers and Family members of girls you banged knocking on your door if you hang around for a while. If you pass through for a few days or a week you should be fine. Any longer, get yourself a girlfriend, threat her well and enjoy.
I also took a scary motorised canoe ride in open ocean to Daram Island, a very remote part of Samar. That report will come later.
Pics to follow.
Blastoff's report reminded me why I still bother with the ISG, despite the undesireable elements that frequent the PI folders in particular.
Great, uncrowded waves in Samar have intrigued me since my first visit to the PI back in '94. Used to be an NPA hotbed in the late 80s and early 90s. I have met so many girls in Angeles from Samar it is amazing there are any left. LOL
Looking forward to the banca trip and photos.

Thanks for your comments. NPA still exists in Samar but they seem to be consecrated in the east not the west. I did checkout my facts before I left lol.
It is truly a great place but not for the foolish or the faint hearted as you can get yourself into trouble there by being silly but usually you can buy your way out. Ahh the beauty of 3rdworld countries. ;)
Take care when travelling there
The bamboo floor you see was in the bamboo hut I slept it one night. The naked girl in the bed was in the Rollet hotel and the other girl was in the park with me. That's me in the trike.
Enjoy
Blastoff's reports are well written as usual, I enjoy reading them ! :)
Pig tranportation in 3rd World can be unorthodox for some of us (some won't like it):
blastoff mate,
very nice report once again, i,`m sure and it seems like, you are the envy of numerous mongers amoungst us. keep up the groundbreaking reports.

She said, “So you will call me tomorrow?” I replied “Of Course LOL.” I just left out the word NOT at the end.
I suggest you hit them hard, hit them fast, then get the fuck out of there. Lol.
I love your attitude. I'm stuck (well, more like stuck in paradise) 7 days a week in Manila due to work, but I'd be doing the same in a heartbeat if I could get out of here. Funny how that one old guy was going moralistic on you. Most of us know YOU ARE THE MAN, but unfortunately, jealousy does raise its ugly head on occasion. I usually look for the new, province types in the bars, but there is nothing like the real thing.
How was internet access in Samar and Leyte. I have to download about 8MB of files per day for business, so anywhere I go must have access to at least an internet cafe that I can conect my laptop to.

Surprisingly, broadband internet is available in both Tacloban and Catbalogan. There are many internet cafes in each city. I suggest you go to the air-conditioned ones as they usually have the fastest internet.

Its news to me thaat their are waves in Samar. Where on Samar ar they? Got a bunch of buddies tha t would like to go. Will a budget of $150 dailey do it?
Hi,
Hahaha $150 per day? You will live like the Sultan of Brunei.
Everything is cheap there. You will be hard pressed to spend that much including girls. You can spend as little as $200 per week and still have a good time in the provinces.
Enjoy.

The Pig in a side car is so average and everyday i hardly notice it anymore, however imagine this one.
A hot day in Davao and the Spamhog is driving by the bus station in Davao, a
"weena" lines stops just in front of me and blocks the road. The foreman jumps out, opens the cargo area and removes some luggage and then (I swear im not making this up!!!) at least twenty goats all tethered on frayed rope leashs. Some skinny little pinoy farmer looking like charlie chaplin is trying to manage the animals. He was crossing the street in heavy traffic with the goats jumping and twisting around, people in their Pajeros swerving and braking/honking etc. He made it wiothout a casualty. it was something out of a Mad TV routine. Took me five minutes to stop laughing.

Is watching them get the Pig into the side car. Watching two three or four 120 lbs stalwarts pull its ears push the butt, kick it in the belly, shit flying everywhere while the pig squeals louder than a siren everybody shouting cursing etc, tehre are times when I wished I had my videocam.

gentlemen:
Just got in from a visit to the province, an interesting experience I will post on under "living in the Philippines" It was located in the wilds of Surigao interior (mindanao) to get there i had to first go to tandag on the extreme east of Surigao province, flew in from Cebu on a 16 seater asian spirit. Was suprised to learn a full fledged surfing festival is underway as of Nov 19th to Nov 26, Lots of foreigners showing up, surfer boy types. Mongering potential is from the two colleges and numerous local Lasses who are quite friendly and curious, few white men come here. Some of these ladies will be competing in the much touted "Bikini open contest" only two videokes in town but I didn;t sample either. found out later in the "province" many girls were thinking about coming to town to "see" the "foreigners".
Best place to stay is probably Secanse Pension, right on the water.
Good luck

Nice repot Blastoff. I too was in Catbalogon in the Rolet Hotel about a year ago. My opinion of the hotel differs a little. I had a window and a view of the Collage across the street. You could easily miss this because of it size. Prices I agree were excellent. The room you spoke of seemed very small so I opt for the family room with two big beds.
I got a bit brave and visited an island in Daram for a night. No plumbing, No electricity and no CR or bath. We had to use a tree or the river.
All my photos were lost. These were taken by someone else that stayed and did what I did.

Just tell me whats the difference when you see a baboy here in a side car,or a 300 lb american chick riding in an escort at home!Some things never change,I think the pig here looks much better.
B.B...
Correction BB
I totally disagree. The 300lbs American chick with the Wal-mart skirt looks better in the trike than the pig. In either case, they're only good for making bacon.
I have both Smart and Globe, and I have heard many Filipinos say this and I now know it's true, Smart CHEATS! If you buy a prepaid Smart card, pay close attention to your load, they cheat you out of it. Free texts disappear, etc. It's really true I have paid attention, they really do cheat you. For this reason, I recommend Globe. That and the coverage is better with Globe.
Globe is said to have better coverage, that's all.
Thanks for the post Boston, but could you please give more details? I'd love to hear more travel reports from outlying areas....as Spamhog has done.
How did you get to Daram? Why did you go? How long did you stay?
And, as a photo lover...what happened to your pics?
Columpuss, yea. That's good. I've seen a pig trike before and you are absolutely correct. Is that a Brit sense of humor I detect?

Does anyone know how's Puerto Galera or Sabang holding up against Durian. I don't have a drop of religion in me but I do pray for the good people of the philippines. The corrupt government + terrorists + poverty + typhoons, they still smile. The ironic thing is, praying to "him" is what most people in the PIs do all their lives and they still get this crap, thanks to "him" the great one.
From the brother mongers in this forum, our hats are off to you: the little boys selling baluts on Sabang, the old woman with the fruit basket, the many beautiful girls comming from the province to scratch out a living there, and also, forgive our petty complaints for we are not up to your standard.

Columpuss,
I have heard anecdotal reports that the Puerto Galera/Sabang area sustained property damage from Durian. I have not heard any rpts of fatalities in the area. It appears the fatalities were confined to the Bicol area, especially the villages on the slopes of Mayon Volcano.
Baguio is notorious for dog meat, which prepared right, can taste unbelievably good.
Comes to think of it, Lucky, come here boy!! um um good!
Brothers in the Pines,
I'll be making my first trip to Puerto Galera for some scuba training Feb. 18-25. Am interested in a recommendation for one or two good bars, not interested in a crawl, would prefer to head straight for quality, price not so terribly important. Also interested in anyplace that offers in-call, i.e. bj bars. Cheers.

"hey, doc, i'm kind of rundown can i get some of those performance enhancers". shake em, baby, shake em!
There is only 5 or 6 go-go/disco bars and about 3 freelance bars all within a few hundred feet, so not really much of a crawl even if you hit them all. (-; Seriously, you can pop your head in them all in about 10 minutes flat.

like anywhere in the phils, there is 'action', however, it may not be of the quantity or quality of other places more noted for carnal activities. there are several ktv's, including one run by a australian fellow i know (can't remember the name of it) but his wife works it (she is not a gro or anything but an assistant manager) it is close to the bus terminal. i dont want to say the guys name in public but if you really are interested pm me and i give you a few more details. from what this fellow told me (and what i have seen personally) most of the action is at these ktv's the girls usually freelance.
there is a big high rise hotel in town, big chinese symbol onthe side of it, (cant remember the name) but near the hotel are several small bars, mostly filipinos go in to them but if they see a foreigner the girls (gros) will bum rush you. this is also an overnight truck stop and lots of hookers in small cafe's catering to the truckers, i wouldn't tag any of them though, too used and too burnt out on shabu.
regards
spamhog
Tungsten, if you are going there to meet someone, why are you asking for the "action"? I've never been to Butuan, but I'm pretty sure that this is a relatively small place with few foreigners. Be careful about playing around -- the walls have eyes.
Butuan is a good hopping off point for the islands of Camiguin and Sarigao. You're also close to Cagayan de Oro, which is a pretty nice little college city.
We'll be looking forward to your followup reports.

Gentlemen, the walls indeed do have ears, as well as eyes, understrand something about the Phils especially places like Butuan, but also Bislig, Surigao, Davao, Iligan and Cagayan, all which I've visited, lived in or mongered in. FROM THE VERY SECOND YOU ARRIVE AT THE TERMINAL/BUS STATION OR IN A PRIVATE CAR within the hour EVERYONE knows who you are, what country you are from, who you are here to see where you are staying, etc. etc. If you go out amongering, THEY WILL KNOW, understand that there ARE NO SECRETS in the Philippines, people in general LOVE to gossip, they have an incredible intelligence network that would make the CIA and the British MI 5 green with envy. First line of defense is the taxi driver, do you know how many of them are CDIG? (Civilian defense intelligence group)
or police informants? Then you got to understand the "relative" network, all her cousins, uncles, aunts, tenth cousins five times removed and their clan ALL KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU before you get there. Most of this is geared for people to make money, guide you to certain resuraunts/hotels, even "casa's"
the only thing you can do is give false info about your name, country of origin, who you are here to see, etc.,to throw them off the track. only lasts long enough until they can compare notes and figure it out, so why bother?
The suggest to go to CDO and party it up is a good one, very nice place with lots of little bars, a nice mall and you can get some western style food.
Good luck

as SH notes, chismus (gossip) is something at which Filipinos excel (along with sleeping, singing, smiling and babymaking). Even in big towns with lots of roundeye (e.g. Angeles), people you had never met knew many details about you.Waitresses in a abr you had never visited knew what you drank and where you stay LOL

Not really. For Siargao islands (where the best surf beaches are located) you depart from Surigao city as Butuan is on the wrong side of the penninsula. For Camiguin the departure point is near CDO, which is a much bigger and more happening city than Butuan. I flew to Butuan once (on a 737) when flight to Surigao (Fokker F27 that PAL used to fly) would not take surfboard but hired a car duirect to Surigao so I never sawq much of Butuan. Surigao used to have a couple rundown girlie bars but not really worth a visit. I ALWAYS brought a babae from somewhere else when I went to Siargao. You can fly directly to the island nowadays instead of the 4 hour trip in a large banca that used to be reqwuired to reach General Luna (called "GL" by everybody). Lovely beaches and isolation.
Amen.
My wife is from a small province and it is exactly as described here.
Be a saint while you are there (provinces) visiting wife material, do not do anything you would not want the relatives to know about - because they will.
Never underestimate how much you are being observed.

Any recommendations on bars or massage places/providers?
Any recommendations on resorts? (Price does not matter -- I want great facilities and food and location.)

You are wise to BYO to Boracay as IMHO there is little there to choose from mongering wise, oh it can be done but not like in your average PI locale. Check back into some posts I put up in June/July when I took mrs spamhog there. I think your best bet is Cocomangas shooters bar.(I stayed at their bungalows just behind the bar) nice and private, native style with a nice veranda and view of the ocean. I would check out a travel agent in Manila for special rates from some of the resorts, can save you lots if you book that way.
I'm not sure what you mean by "broadening her horizons" if you mean a 3 somes then I would say maybe if your lady gives indication she is into that sort of thing, I've noticed a lot of foreigner females, European types, who were hitting on mrs spamhog, she doesn't go that way. Soem of this funny business was at a disco called new wave.
Other than that every time she went into the CR a few of the local wenches would come over and flaunt themselves, these girls didn't merit much in the way of tempation, looked kind of scraggly to me...but...each to his own.

Hello,
I am a scuba diving by day and monger by night. I have been to Puerto Galara (Sabang Beach) and found it excellent.
I am looking for a new place and I was considering Coron. Has anyone been mongering in Coron? What is it like? Any advice on places to stay?
Snow
Cocomangas bungalows are NOISY! I stayed there for a couple nights on my first trip to Boracay ('95) but quickly bailed to quieter digs. I am probably more sensitive to noise when trying to sleep than most, but be aware before booking that it is not quiet.
I liked Lorenzo's Villas at the South end of the island (past Whiite Beach) better (but I had a lovely with me and was not hunting).
I think there is more action in Sabang Bay - very close. They have 4 go-go bars and if you bring a girl to your room, she will stay overnight. That is my exerience from November 2004.
Have fun!

HanqeI think Sabang Beach is great for divers and mongers. The diving is good and very easy to access with each dive returning to the shop as the dive sites are so close.
There are about 5-6 go-go bars, all pretty much the same. Broadway has a bar in the front with pool tables and a couple of girls no pressure, but got thru the obsure door at the back left and you are in another world. There were about 40 girls and about 3 guys when I arrived about 9:30pm. After a few drinks I selected the two in the photo and took them back to my hotel the Big Apple. They were both young and not that experienced but nice enough. They wanted one to go first and then the other but I insisted on a three some and I swapped back and forth with them for about an hour starting with a double BBBJ. The one of the left has really long hair past herr bum and a great arse so I enjoyed taking her from behind. They did not really want to play with each other but when the one on right was on top of me, the one of the left went down and stroked my balls which I enjoyed.
I eventually shot my load in the one of the right and after a shower she complained of a sore throat and wanted to go. I like the think that was my fault. I think paid 4000 for the two of them. Next time I will take my time a little as there was some real honeys in Broadway. The next night I was walking past and got talking to a differnt two just at the front near the walking street and they were both very sexy and wanted me to take them both. Unfortunately, I was out of cash so couldn't.
That is one important thing about Sabang Beach. There is no ATM machine so take plenty of Cash. You can pay for you diving and hotel with you credit card plus I think 4% or 6% but not the drinks or girls. There is a very dodgey French guy in the Paradise restaurant who will give cash from Visa but only use him as a last resort.
I was there in early May 2006 and I am current planning a trip in mid-April this year. I will right more in my next report about the bars.

The bars and clubs I can remember are Sun Set, Broadway, Village, Centrum and Big Apple. I think there are one or two more. Sun Set is a one end of the walking street and Big Apple is at the other end no more that 500 metres apart. I talked about Broadway on my previous post.
Sunset was the first club I started in at about 8pm. It has been a long flight to Manila, then car and boat ride and I was ready for a few drinks. I was early and the only guy in the bar. Not the nicest bar I have to say but Joanna sat next to me within a few minutes and organised a drink. She made me feel relaxed, we enjoyed a couple of drinks together, me beer and she white wine. I was wearing shorts with no underwear and she soon had her hand under my shorts leg and was holding my nob. We drank and chatted for about 45 minutes while she stroked me before we headed back to my room. As I had not had sex for two weeks I was ready. She was great and we had lots of fun. Of course I shot my load fairly quickly then we showered together. I was starving by this time so we went for dinner, had a great talk, allowing me to find out about mongering in Phil, her family and lots of interesting cultural things about Filipino people.
After dinner we went to Centrum which has only just opened. Centrum is a bar with a band, big comfortable long couches and some secluded places as well. There is two bands there every night, both were very good or they were when I was there in May-06. The waitresses were friendly responding to my nods for more drinks from across the rooms. All in all a very relaxing start to my first evening. Joanna and I left late and went back to the room for round two. After a few hours sleep I woke with a boner and I woke her for round three. In the morning, she was friendly and nice and left about 7pm saying she was catching to boat back to Batangas at 9:15. I ended up bumping into her again at about 8:30 near the boat where she had just bought her ticket and we had breakfast together. Waitresses from Centrum are also available and also look out for the freelancers dancing together or watching from the door.
I never went into Villiage but I heard that is where the younger girls go. I assume that means 18-19. Next time for sure.
I picked up the Lisa in one of the other go-go bars I cant remember the name of. She was tall, about 5' 8'' and the tiniest little arse I had ever seen. I got talking to her at the bar before she had to go and dance. She was shy and quiet, a little too quiet for me, but what a tiny little body. I ended up seeing her two nights but the lack of conversation was a boring for me. The sex was great and she was really getting into it. I paid 1500 hundred to her, 500 for the bar and 1000 for the girl.
Christine I met in the Big Apple bar. There is no club, just the 24 hour bar at the front where some freelance girls hang out. She was sitting at the table next to me in the middle of the afternoon when i got chatting to her. I bought her a drink, we chatted, she asked me if I had a TV in my room, and we were soon back in my room. She was nice, lovely smile and attentive to my needs starting with a BBBJ and then lots of different positions. I also paid her 1500 but maybe 1000 was enough.
Apart from diving, mongering, eating seafood in the good restaurants, and lying by the pool, there is not much else to do in Sabang Beach. There really isnt a beach as such, because the water pretty much comes right up to the buildings. There is a very good massage parlour just to the left and behind Sun Set. I had two good massages there sort of a cross between and Swedish and Thai massage. I didnt have extras but I think I could have asked as there were some private rooms.
Finally, there are two floating bars about 100metres off shore. A little row boat will take you there from outside the Big Apple and I think on Thursdays at 4pm, there is a wet T-Shirt competition not to be missed. Watch out for the chalk boards advertisements on the footpath.
Anyone heading to Sabang around 9-14 April, let me know.

Any recommendations on bars or massage places/providers?
Any recommendations on resorts? (Price does not matter -- I want great facilities and food and location.)
Salamat!
TiTi:
You might also check out the red cocoanut hotel, it is a bit more upscale and
if memory serves me right a big swimming pool, beach bar etc. It is almost in the smack middle of the island (You can walk the entire length of Boracay in about two hours). Cocomangas shooters bar is at the far end, the best place for mongering freelancers etc. But I have to agree with Surfer, staying at the
hotel cottages can get a bit noisy since the live band at the bar stays "on" until the wee hours. But consider the convenence of slipping a third party out of the bar back to the room in a matter of a fifty yard walk.

There is a tourist center in Sabang where they charge you about 7% for every transaction. Outrageous, but worth not having to haul a lot of cash around, a big no no when travel.
There is a 2% charged ATM in Puerto Gallera which is 15 minutes away on jeepney. I used it to the last two times until one day my transaction was halted because of machine error. When I checked my account 2 days later, the money was deducted from it. I tried many ways to get it back, but you know the system there, it was a futile effort.

Got my Butuan sweeties auntie in Singapore chatting with me almost every day. She says maybe me and the pinay shouldn't stroll around the town, the girl will get a "poor reputation". Oh, so what does that mean? Every pinay that hangs out with a foreigner is dirty/bad/ a hooker? Generalization at it's finest. I said to her what about the young girls in Phils who have kids from their pinoy bf's. The guys are nowhere to be found after the kids are born, but that's ok. Huh, yeah right. What a crock of shit. My sweetie don't give a damn and either do I. There probably jealous their daughter doesn't have a foreigner friend.
I asked her if she can go to CDO with me. She asked the folks. The folks said ok as long as you bring a friend. Cool. Funny shit. I told her we will get 1 room (probably not) and her and her friend in 1 bed and me in the other. She says, "what, no kantut? And puts on the angry face in yahoo. LOL. 2 months to go. Yeehaw:)

Yeah, that sounds typical, how old is Auntie anyhow, maybe she wants in on the action? Understand that strolling around town with a foreigner in some small backwater (Butuan really is that) is gonna raise some eyebrows, if you understood some Visayan you would hear things like "Look at so and so, she thinks she is "Myaman" now (Rich) coz of her foreigner, she's just as poor as the rest of us." And probably a few other things like speculation on the size of your penis (Lugai d'hako ba?). Jealousy, envy and sometimes Filipino odd ball humor. Also remmeber that they love gossip and scandal, she is sure to be the center of it for awhile, knowing that she is gonna screw you sideways.
Shrug all this off and dont get too teed off at "Auntie". I usually laugh when I hear this type of chatter, Mrs Spamhog is enough of a spitfire to give them hell or her "dragon" look.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

Getting there from Cagayan de Oro
Agora Bus terminal (there is another terminal for busses going other directions) has busses going South to Davao. There are parking spots for the busses, with signboards announcing their destinations. There are air-conditioned busses and standard (no air con) busses. If you have luggage, the guard or conductor will take them and lock them in the compartment. Busses depart regularly and all night. Departure times may vary between every 10-30 minutes depending on time of day. The conductor will come by and hand you a ticket, tell him your destination. Later he comes by and collects the fare. It’s P 105 to Malaybalay on the air-con bus. It’s not like in the old days, where you might ride with chickens. The air-con busses are sometimes too cold. While riding consider that the words “bus plunge Philippines” occurs 105,000 times in a search on Google.com. The red beans you see drying in the sun is coffee.

I took a non-pro I met on FH to Palawan for a few days of fun in the sun, and took the opportunity to do some snooping. It should be noted that I was with a non-pro, and while she knows I monger and actually is ok with it, I did not dabble while I was with her as I wanted to reap the benefits of a nice GFE with a 25 y/o tightbody student looking to get away for a free vacay.
We booked the Legend hotel in PP, which at under $50 per night is actually a decent deal, as it includes free breakfast, free in room internet, and wireless in the lobby. The amenities were sufficient, and they did not question my having my girlfriend share the room, no one asked questions.
The first night there we had dined at Christala on Rizal Ave. This place sucked, the wait staff never smiled not even attempted to provide good service. No running water in the bathroom, it only offered a view of the street traffic. I strongly recommend Kalui further down Rizal towards the airport. Great food, great ambience, great service, great prices. You need a reservation before 7:30 PM.
Regarding mongering: there is definitely pussy to be had in the right places. While nowhere near AC or Burgos in Makati, I recommend Copacabana which is off the beaten path near the airport but very nice (no running water in the bathroom though, but seems clean). We got there early, but saw a few girls wearing numbers in a sofa area with a TV. I asked the male bartender about the upstairs, which he told me is a VIP room where you can take a lady for a price of 2000P or so.
Also, we went to a place called Chikababes on Rizal near Kalui that has a really great band that plays after 10:30PM. Prices on beers are not bad, and it has three VIP rooms with a nice sofa and KTV machine. The place is a dive though with no running water in the bathroom, which was more dilapidated than most you'll find even in Korea. The VIP rooms are 1000, 1500, and 2000P and I only saw the latter, but it is reminscent of the upstairs VIP rooms you see in Burgos. I also asked if girls can be barfined, but was told that this is not possible. All in all I did not partake, but I am sure that fun can be had.
Also, on the other end of Rizal (far end from airport) there is a side road to the left that has some small out of the way bars. I peaked inside, and saw the tell-tale signs of a KTV/juicy joint.
I never tried anything there, but dropping the names of these places to the locals got me sufficient reply to confirm these are RLD houses. Hopefully this info will be of use to someone.
As far as tours go, the hotel offers three that I tried:
- The Underground River: From 7AM - 5PM, this is mostly transportation time to and from the park, and it is better done if you are already on the north side of the island. Aside from the awesome underground river you can fend off wild macaque monkeys and play with giant monitor lizards (one licked my ankles, freaking out my gf, lol).
- The City Tour: Absolutely worthless. It's basically a tour of souvenir shops, with little historical or touristic value. You will go to the crocodile farm which is cool, and you will go to a nice villa, but I would skip this one unless you have absolutely nothing else to do.
- Honda Bay Tour: My favorite, this goes from 1PM to 6PM, and is lovely. You'll boat out to Snake Island for some sun and snorkeling (the fish are gorgeous) and then to another island for some coral reef snorkeling. Being on the water all afternoon was very romantic and got my gf wet in every way.
Sorry to be so light on the mongering info. Hopefully this info will be enough to give someone a springboard to get his wick wet.
Cheers,

Great info
Thanks you have put to bed a great deal of speculation for me. I'll be there in late April after a week further north doing a client shoot and was looking at all the tours you noted.
Its nice to know I may not be as alown as I thought I may have been. Although in a town that large you would think that there would be something available. I'm going to be staying in the Fleuris which is a little more expensive, but from reports should be OK.
Regards and thanks
MI Foot - getting better every day.. only 6 weks to go, and I'm out of here
I'm going to be staying in the Fleuris which is a little more expensive, but from reports should be OK.
I walked by Fleuris several times and it does indeed look very nice from the outside, and it within walking distance to Rizal. There is not much down there, save a Dunkin Donuts, the NCCC Mall (aka Walmart), a Shakey's et cetera, but it is the center of town.
Have fun, and report back!

Thanks but curious. My logic told me that, how could someone give me back the money which a middleman took from me. wouldn't my bank have to do a lot of work for a couple of Franklins on my behalf. I figure that they would send me back to the PIs. Have u had similar exp. and your bank saved u?

My agenda has changed. Going to Bangkok for a couple weeks. Met 2 cousins on the net. Nice, classy women. Will go hunting when I'm not touring with them. Will head to davao for a few days, then bus it to butuan to see the 19 year old. Don't think we'll be doing any humping, she doesn't seem up to it, but you never know. Moms sposed to be hanging over our asses so that's no good. Head to cagayan to see another chat mate, not the best looking, but I don't think she will bang either. Hope to find prospects in the bars and malls.
So guys, most of you have travelled around phils by bus with no problems? Just maiking sure everything is ok. The bigger thing is figuring out how to get money around. Don't want to put a load in my sock. LOL. They have atms in cdo? Are money exchangers honest?

Tungsten Chief: I have taken the bus many times from Davao up through the Bukidnon valley to CDO and back, NEVER any problems. AC bus is under 500 you can get it at the terminal or out in Matina. I would suggest getting the 9 AM "Delux" bus (A/C) and a bit more leg room, only four stops and you should get in CDO before 6 PM. Reason I say this as the only DANGER you have is the hairpin turns and sharp embankments in the Phils, you really dont want to be in a bus at night with all the hairpin turns, no street lights etc. You will find ATM's all over Davao, and if you need to you can access cash advance through equitable bank on recto st for Up to P60,000 (About $1,200) with a few copies of your passport under Master charge or Visa. Once again Plenty of ATM's in CDO, I've found my international credit cards work best in BPI ATMS.
When in Davao you can check out a few mongering places like the moonlight club or Sirena out in matina across from the sabong arena (If you do say hi to my two "GF"s the sisters Nicole and Sarah. I wonder if they are still working there???? used to do three somes with 'em.
CDO has it's share of mongering and pickup places, look for Bada Bing for bar fines, Club Exotica and Mojo's for freelancers.
Good luck

Ouch. The 200 min bus ride from Li-loan (cebu Island) to Cebu city just about killed me.
A long lost friend named GE said he drove this route and it is very attractive. Still not sure if he was talking about the scenery or his riding partner.
I miss Mindanao.

Columpuss, in the USA we have what's called *regulation E* that states the bank that holds your account is responsible for authorizing your transaction, hence they have to refund your money if they can't proove where it went. Usually you can get back whatever you want once, second time they'll cancel your account.
Thanks capt

This isn't much of a report, (I was with my fiance the whole time, okay? ), but more of a "Thanks Guys" for all the great reports others have posted.
In Ozamis I did get a legit massage from a pretty young lady. No idea if more is available; no idea of the cost, (my fiance paid for the massage). It was a great massage! When I was on my stomache she was on the table, stradling me with her legs and pushing on my back.
We took the super-ferry from Cebu City to Ozamis. We were in a big room with bunk beds; I was one of maybe two or three non-filipinos in the whole room. But it was perfectly safe. (Maybe because my Sweetie was with me? )
By the way. Since I was with my fiance the whole time, I did not get many flirtatious looks, but in the Ayala mall in Cebu, in the food court, some young ladies did still look at me with interest. (I am 50 years old, and sorta fat! )
I think my big challenge, if we move to PI, will be how NOT to cheat on my Sweetie with so many other young lovelies being available. I know this is an odd question for this forum, but how do you married guys keep your little head from taking over? I guess I will have to take occaisional weekend trips out-of-town.

April 1 closing in. Bypassing Thailand, will go to Phils only. Arrive in Davao Monday night for a week stay. Looking to find a good dentist there. Don't want to dish out to the "gold diggers" here in Canada. Then it's off to Butuan to see the honey.
I guess her family is having domestic problems right now. The father just lost his job as a security guard, for whatever reason, I don't know. The mother, my sweetie, and her 4 year old sister have gone to stay with relatives. That don't sound good either. The man of the house there is a drunk. She said her mom's trying to find a place for them. Hope she don't run back to her husband. I guess the brother left a couple years ago, dad was slapping him around too. But, hey, no divorce in the Phils, right?
Her cousin was at the cafe with her the other day. 20 years old, pregnant, no dad in the picture. Another girl loses the joy of being young and carefree. No condoms there? Too much money. Will ok, you can say she didn't have to spread her legs. I'm starting to think the Phils was built by the women.

Interesting question Teenie, the answer varies from guy to guy. IT IS TEMPTING, I mean everywhere I go literally women are flirting and some are bolder than others, handing me their phone number etc. The hell of it is, MOST OF THESE BIMBOS KNOW I'M MARRIED, as they see me with the Mrs all the time, recently, we've been out with some of the other board memebers here to Sunflower and a few other clubs, it seems that the girls openly flirting with the guys (so they noticed) who have "Others". It is sort of a game that they play here, see who can bang your man, lure him away or whatever. In Thailand, the situation was much worse, as Thai 'yings' enjoy screwing somebodies other and then laughing about it to the GF or wife later
"I saw your husbands penis hahahaha." They gain "face" by getting you to do them and the GF/Wife loses face, this is what she gets mad at, NOT THE FACT YOU SCREWED ANOTHER BUT THE LOSS OF FACE. To some degree this is the same in the Phils. See these girls look at your wife/GF all dressed up nice, new clothes, jewelry, out shopping and they think to themselves...If I was balling that guy, it would be me with the diamond ring, gold, new shoes and a pocket full of pesos spending money at the mall.
Now it comes down to you the person, Frankly, I've screwed so many different women from so many different walks of life in so many different countries after awhile it gets boring, even the kinky ones. If you find one you are SEXUALLY COMPATIBLE WITH, that is a big part of staying faithful. I'm not saying that you should get married to someone just because she is great in the sack but THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, in many marriages that fail (Not just Asian but back in "the world" US/UK/Eu/) what happens? Sexual incompatibility, one partner gets frustrated and starts banging someone else.
So I come to the realization that having a fling with one of these ladies would be pointless, it would just get me in trouble and probably wouldn't satisfy me or if she did probably wouldn't measure up in other way to "The boss" so....
but of course the little devil that sits on my shoulder constantly sticks his pitchfork in my withered old balls everytime I see a cute one who smiles and flirts...I've learned not to listen...so far.
good luck

SH, another great post. Had me laughing too -- imaging the Hot Babe, your woman, the pitchfork....
What do you think about this? When I chat with a new Filipina online, many will ask if I have a gf in the Philippines before they ask if I have a wife or gf at my country of residence (in Asia).
Of course it may simply be that the lady in question isn't as comopolitan as us and just isn't used to thinking outside the box.
In your case, competition is likely a motivating factor -- as you describe in your post. When you walk around with a woman on your arm, you'll get a lot more looks than if you were alone. I find that true in any country I've been to.

Why do they ask about a GF not a wife???? Good question, and very timely I might add. Xman why do you ask the girl if she has a BF, (or do you?) do you ask about a husband??? Well same- same probably.
The other Night Mrs Spamhog is teaching one of her neices to chat, literally the first time this young lady was online. Had some poor shmoe on the other end who had been to the PI years ago, so he said, the wife tells the neice "Ask him if he had Filipina GF before." Later I asked her why she told the girl to ask that? "Well we wanted to know about this guy." the reply.
on elaborating, I understood that the response to the question, even a simple yes or no relayed a lot about the guy. His experience, and truthfulness
The assumption is if you have been to the PI before you have had a Filipina, therefore you know something about 'em. If not they know you're probably a liar (they're right) or some other extenuating circumstance like you were married and being faithful (yeah right). They also assume that you are single not married that is why you are chatting.
Filipinas are curious about "us", also remember it is best to give them and honest answer telling them you had a Filipina GF before is not necessarily a bad thing in their eyes.
P.S. That little devil (horny little bastard with the pitchfork) will ALWAYS be on my shoulder, probably on your too eh?

Spamhog.
SH, I don't like to lie, and when I try I'm not very good at it. My solution is to turn things into a joke.
Do you have a girlfried? "Yes, too many. I'm trying to give some of them away."
WHere is your girlfriend? "Which one?"
How many time s have you been to the Philippines? "Two......too many times."
Or if it's me asking the questions...
"Where is your boyfriend, did you scare him away?"
As for the horny bastard with pitchfork...him and his twin brother each as his own shoulder to ride on.

Will be arriving in Davao April 1 early morning. Still deciding if I'm gonna stay in Davao for a few days or go right to Butuan. Have to find a cheap hotel for a couple of weeks then I would like to move up to the Almont resort for a short stint. Want to get some quality drinking time in Cagayan too. Does anyone know of decent hotels at a low price in Cagayan and Butuan.
The last time I stayed in Mindanao was at the gf's place, no money spent for lodging. I might go to her place for the last 2 weeks of my vacation, not quite sure. It will be a nice surprise, but then again I can hear the questions already. Why didn't you let us come and get you in Davao? Where did you go? They think I'm 14 years old, can't be alone, someone might grab me. LOL. This time I'm going to have fun.
Will be arriving in Davao April 1 early morning. Still deciding if I'm gonna stay in Davao for a few days or go right to Butuan. Have to find a cheap hotel for a couple of weeks then I would like to move up to the Almont resort for a short stint. Want to get some quality drinking time in Cagayan too. Does anyone know of decent hotels at a low price in Cagayan and Butuan.

If in Cagayan try riverview hotel, about P800 a night, right across the street is a "Uba Uba" (topless go go) bar called Bada Bing. There is another just up the street right across from the Swiss deli resturaunt same price, can't rememebr the name of it for the life of me. Across from Club Mojo is Dynasty hotel, a little more like P1200 but nicer rooms. Check out these disco's... great pick up places, Mojo's, Excite and Lllamdo's.
Good luck

Tungsten, in Butuan try the Inland Resort which I believe is the nicest place in town. But, beware. When I was there, they charged the entire stay on my credit card right up front! At reception, they asked for my credit card and I assumed that they would just put a hold on it, which is standard procedure everywhere. I couldnt' believe they did that. Sure enough, I left after three days although I paid for four. Didn't have time to get a refund so I got fucked out of a night ($60 I think).
This is the reason I dont use Asia Travel or those other cheap travel agencies. If you change plans, you're screwed. I prepaid for four nights in a hotel in Bangkok once and when I got to the hotel, they didn't have a room. It was midnight and I had been traveling twenty four hours so I was livid! Next day I called the agency ( actually, I think it was Asia Travel again) and they started giving me a hard time. I knew their offices were by Lumpini Park, downtown, so I told them I was coming the fuck over to their offices, right now. Within seconds, they agreed to refund my credit card and sure enough, a few days later it was credited back.
Many unexpected bumps in the road when it comes to international travel.

Thanks Dashing Don and Spamhog for the info. Don, the Almont resort is the same as the one you're talking about. The Almont Inland resort is the full title. I inquired over the net and they even said they want the money the same time I book my room. To hell with that!
My best bet then is to stay in CDO since many of you say Butuan isn't really an exciting place. I'll stay at the resort for a few nights when i go to Butuan and see my sweetie. Hopefully when I meet her mother, I can persuade her to let my girl come with me to Cagayan for a weekend.
I'm into running. Just wondering how the sidewalks and streets are. Crowded? Is there a gym in Cagayan. A real gym, I don't mean my bed where most of the exercise will take place.)

Tungsten, I tried to PM you but box full or not accepting PM, dont know, try to PM if you can, I will likely be in CDO March 29 thru April 2nd 3rd,(?) if you want to get together I can show you around, I will have the "Boss" with me so mongering is out. There are several gyms but none of them are what you would find in other areas (including Davao) there is one not far from Riverview Hotel up above the McDonalds, like P20 a session, just a bunch of weights in a room, they have a fan, lots of dust and no showers. If you want I can take you to the gym of one of the few Grand Master Arnisdores (Stick fighter) across the river in CDO. He teaches some Japanese martial arts as well as Arnis.

Winding down, only 7 days to go till I hit Phils. Still deciding where to hang my hat first. Davao for the first few days? Straight to Butuan maybe? The sweetie there says I can stay at grannies place. The good thing: don't really have to dish out much money to stay. Buy some food or give them 5000p or something like that. The bad thing: could be boring(probably), will they question me a lot? will we understand each other?? I definitely want to be in Cagayan for drinking weekends.
I ended up ditching my chat mate in CDO, too clingy. Made it sound like we're gonna be together every single day. Wants to meet me at the bus depot, go to the bars and whatever else. I put her on ignore when she told me she would check out rates at hotels in CDO. It was a nice gesture, but when she asked me for some cash to travel around doing it, it just turned me right off.

If you are gonna stay at Grannies consider a few things, one, you are probably gonna be in a small ramshackle house, no AC, no hot water, no cable TV and lots of mosquitos, bedbugs, roaches and other crawlies. It doesn't bother me to sleep in such places as I have enjoyed hospitality from my relatives all over Mindanao and Cebu and some are worst (better) than others, kinda like going on a camping trip or fishin' trip back in the world. Of course you would spring for groceries, best to give Granny or somebody the money, with P1000 they will come back from the market with a truck load of food whereas you or I would probably come up short. Buy 'em a sack of rice(P1000) buy some canned goods in a grocery, get them some ice cream, a big gooey choclate cake and some coke. Let them get fish, tuna, malasugie and chicken. ( be careful of eating pork from a mercado!)
Second point, are you gonna hump sweetie in the other room, with granny and asorted relatives there listening thru the paper mache walls? I think not. (well you might but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with it).
My suggestion is that you spend a few days in Davao, decompress and acclimate for your trip north, check out the few mongering outlets in Davao and generally take it easy. Same with CDO, make an overnight or two stop and sample what it has to offer before going to Butuan. I will be heading to CDo this week, give you an updated heads up on hotels.

I know about the creepy crawlies. When we went to the relatives in Surigao, I got bitten by the fleas the cats dragged in. Not to mention ants hovering for snacks we had out. Mosquitoes, mice, not a big deal to me.
The girl will be staying at home while I hang my hat at granny's. If we do engage in some bedroom antics, I will stay at a hotel for a few days. She's kind of hinting she don't want to. We get to talking about it, but i don't bring it up every single time we chat. I'm a nice guy, if it doesn't happen, so be it, I'm not gonna persuade her into something she's not comfortable doing. Right now, she's a good friend. My connection to see this part of the Philippines. Anyway, we will see what happens in person. I would still like her to come to CDO with me for a drinking weekend, it all depends on mom , of course. Once her folks meet me and see I'm an alright guy, hopefully everything will be ok. If her mom comes to CDO, that's ok also, as long as she lets me and sweetie partake in some night life.
A question in regards to changing money. Will you get less buying the cash there?? The rate in my country should be higher, you think??

In Butuan right now in a newly renovated hotel: Almond City Hotel, next to Rizal Park. Dbls for 1400 ps incl bkfst, wireless internet and a free airport pick up. Don't bother about grandma's place. I shag my honeyko here at daytime in the hotel and no one cares from the family as long as shes' back before dark...lol. Did the same with a honey on CDO and Davao....giving face to the family!
Rizal Park, Butuan: heaps of little freelancers for 400 Ps shorttime after dark. That's fine for the sleeper once honey-ko is back home. lol
Would not travel Davao-Butuan by road: long trip and daylight robbers.

You will almost always get better exchange for cash by using a money changer in the Philippines. Shop around for best rates. Provinces money changers rates are usually less good than in the big cities where competition can be strong. In Manila change in Makati Greenbelt / Glorietta (Sarkies) or Ermita.

Would not travel Davao-Butuan by road: long trip and daylight robbers.Interesting. Googled "Philippine bus robberies" and seen there were quite a few in 2006. Some around Butuan. Well I'm not flying in so I guess it's the bus for me. Don't know the 'hit rate" on the buses this year, but I don't think the odds can be anywhere near 50-50. It can happen anywhere at anytime, no control over it. It's probably a lot safer by bus than taking a private van. Let the chips fall where they may. A foreigner will be left almost naked, I'm sure , as the thieves salivate over their sudden fortune. Anyone else have thoughts on this??
We moved onto Peurto Galera next by catching the bus at City State Tower Hotel on Mabini street. We paid about 1100 pesos for a round trip ticket that included transportation out to the island on the C-Kat ferry and back. We stayed at Villa Sabang Beach Resort (vsabang03@yahoo.com) on the east end of Sabang beach. A guy named Jon owns and operates it, and he was a great host with a great staff. He had everything you need in a resort, including a PADI dive shop. I think we paid between 1200 or 1400 pesos a night. After a good nap me and my friend were up and ready to hit the strip. So off we go to our first stop at the Philippine Village Disco. There are six discos in Sabang now. All the clubs being called discos, but none of them being discos in the traditional sense. Plain and simple, they’re just girly bars that you can barfine from. Philippine Village had the largest, most attractive selection of girls on the island. Lots of 7 thru 10’s. Bar-fine: 2000 pesos. There had to be at least 100 plus girls there that night, two of which jumped on me immediately. They were ok, but I like to do the choosing, not be chosen if you know what I mean. While the two who adopted me were on the stage dancing, I slipped another girl whom I was interested in my black business card with my info, had another beer and left my friend to his on devices. He seemed happy with his selection anyway. I quickly checked out two more clubs. The Pink Panther Disco. Bar-fine: 700 to bar then 1000 to girl at your hotel, and Centrium Disco. Bar-fine: 2000. Pink Panther had some 7 thru 10’s so I had a beer, chatted up the girls for a while and left. Marivic, the girl I gave my card to at Village had been texting me. She agreed to meet me later after work if she wasn’t bar-fined.
I went to Eddies, a 24hr restaurant on the beach that serves some fairly decent food to get a bite to eat. A lot of free-lancer action at Eddies. I chatted up and exchanged numbers with a few girls. I made plans to meet one the next day for an afternoon session at my hotel. After a few more beers I paid the tab and went back to my hotel. Marivic texted me an hour later and said she was finished work. I told her what resort I was in and waited patiently for her arrival. When she arrived I popped the cork on a bottle of wine, gave her a San Miguel (she didn’t care for wine like so many Filipina’s don’t) sat out front near the beach and took a few minutes to get to know my new piece of ass. 21 years old, one kid, from Laguna, saving money for college, not married…bla bla bla… Ok it’s time to take her to the room and give her a test ride. She had ok skills. A little weak in the BJ department because she kept raking her teeth along my shaft, but she was ok with multiple positions. We enjoyed three good sessions and she stayed until three the next afternoon. I gave her 1000 pesos and sent her on her way. Started receiving the typical Filipina texts from her immediately…….”I had a good time, I like you a lot, I miss you already, When are you coming back, when can I see you again,” and so on and so forth. How you deal with them is up to you, but I usually tell them that maybe I’ll stop by to see them during my bar-hopping if I’m not busy with one of my other friends. That kinda lets them know that I have or will have other women in my life. They will still text you to death though, just like Marivic did me the whole time I was there.
Diving, snorkeling, Island hopping, or shagging ass that you had setup the previous night are the day-time activities in Sabang. Guess which one I was actively engaged in? Yup, you guessed right. Shagging ass that I setup the previous night. I texted Joey, one of the girls I met at Eddies the night before and asked her to come over. Fifteen minutes later I’m all assholes and elbows with Joey in my hotel room. She’s 26 and knows her shit in the bed. One session, a little conversation, I give her 1000 pesos and out the door she goes. Found out later she worked at Sunset Disco as their starlet dancer. I’m fairly tired now so I call my friend to see what he’s up to and to tell him I’m gonna take a nap before heading out that night. Of course Joey is texting me all the usual shit over the phone….bla bla bla…yada yada yada!!! More later
I just returned from a trip CEBU to CDO and back again thought I'd put a few things down as I gather more than a few of you are contemplating a trip to the place or close by, staying with Filipino hosts and traveling by whatever means are available, namely a bus. Well hopefully some details herein will give you some idea what you are in for.
Monday last 9 a.m found me and Mrs SH onboard the day ferry to CDO, economy class only coz it is a day trip and I wouldn't be sleeping, otherwise the noisy kids, noisier adults and animals would drive you insane. P560 my budget concious wife shelled out each as this was a combined business trip and also going to graduation several younger family members. I spent most of the trip in the restuarant or salon reading a book. We pull into CDo at 5:30 Pm thereabouts and head out. Now I suggest you get a taxi right there at the
exit gate, play it safe but my queen of the koriput (cheap) will not use them as they dont do a meter but charge accordingly, so we get to wade through the enthusiastic crowd of touts, drivers, porters and well wishers to go outside and grab a jeepney across town. Now I literally run the gauntlet, we go into purse snatch/pickpocket mode and Mrs SH sidles up nest to me, her purse under her arm, next to my body and I put an arm around her shoulder should some idiot try a grab for her earings which are cheap platic but may try for anyhow, my wallet is in my sock and the single bag is on my shoulder, in perfect position to bring it down on someone's head should they try for it or me. A big Filipino guard is at the exit, literally beating back the crowd with a big stick, one guy sees me and rushes forward, probably a taxi driver, the guard whacks the guy in the chest HARD, he staggers back in the crush of people and would have fell but for everyone pressing close.
Personally, I would have like to stay around and watch the Filipino babe ruth
whack people with a stick but Mrs SH rushes me into a jeepney and we head off for Agora station a few blocks away. We catch the bus to Butuan, not AC'd but only a few mile journey on the outskirts of CDO city. Total P30 each.
We get off about thirty minutes later after bulling our way thru traffic. Well the whole clan is at a certain widowed aunt's house for the big feast which consists of a tub of rice, a lechon Baboy and Bihon, spaghetti made with sweet sauce.etc. We bring two chickens and a bunch of soda as our part. People are already eating. The house isn't much by our standards, an unpainted tin roof, concrete walls (Unpainted on the outside) luan plywood interior, a regular termite farm but a toilet indoors and plumbing that kinda works. After the meal somebody sets up the videoke and they have a go at ABBA and Carpenter hits. The male relatives are hitting the tanduay and talking outside on the little porch, I join them. I know most of them and get a long alright but they still look at me kinda funny as I don't drink. Nightime and people are drifting off. Me and the Mrs get to bed down in the living room, they actually put a blanket down in deferrence to me, this is my matress. Others get cardboard boxes to sleep on. So amid the myriad of night noises from the other overnight guests, with the old fan blowing the hot stagnant air around I drift off to sleep despite the buzzing mosquitos who ignore the smoking coil and the skittering cockroaches who I think held a military formation at dawn.
I wait my turn in the bath room, get tired of it and go outside to [CodeWord140] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140) on the wall like all the other males. Mrs SH has heated water for me to take a bath, which I insist on as it kills whatever bacteria is present in the water, something i suggest you do too when in such a situation as Typhus can be spread easily. I go outisde in the little walled yard and douse myself with it, I'll never get in the bathroom and we have a bus to the province to catch. Of course everybody has to look, finding my white skin facinating and trying to see under my wet swim trunks if my dick really is that big.
I'm all groomed and dressed when we say goodbye to our hosts, I walk through the "compound", mud and all and make it to the main road where we can catch a bus to the boonies, hot as hell and the bath I took is immediately nulified by sweat, dust and deisel fumes. We catch the bus from CDO to Davao viA Bukidnon (aka BUDA). I climb aboard the air con sixty seater, the guard goes over my person and baggage with a hand held metal detector, gives my bag a cursory check and waves me on, I could have had a block of C-4 and he woulda missed it, but I noticed they check Filipinos much more thorough.
We find seats in the back after triping over "filipino luggage", that is plastic bags and boxes holding everything from live fighting cocks to clothes and food, I settle in for the four hour ride to Maramang near Malabalay. I survey the other passengers and find it a typical mixed bag. ITEM: a mother is breast feeding what looks like a two year old boy. three muslim women, all wrapped up in veils and heavy clothes stare out the window as a child sleeps on their 3 a breast laps. A crusty old fellow with a bag full of tools. No other white faces, so some people stare at mine, but most watch the overhead TV which is playing a Tagalog movie, you know its a tagalog movie as all the actors are firing guns, sometimes they stop and do a hokey "love scene" then start shooting again, never mind the plot, the pyrotechnics are the thing. Some lady passenger has made friends with Mrs SH and of course wants to know what country I'm from, all that, so mrs SH has to oblige with my life story, which I don't like but that is how it is with a Filipina, they love to brag. I just smile and nod but mostly look outside at the ever passing tableau as we work our way along the road which twists and turns like a disjointed snake. The scenery is breath taking to say the least, as many times as I've made the trip I always find a new marvel be it a shimering mountain in the distance or a banana plantation with ten foot plants. Every once in awhile we pass a settlement with tin roof huts, chipping concrete buildings and sometimes all bamboo nipa homes. We pull into a dusty broken down bus stop, our destination.
I'll save the rest including our return to CDO and conversation with the manager of a girlie bar for next post.

We get off in the middle of downtown Maramag, we grab a Habal-Habal, the only transports available and go for a bumpy five mile ride through "town" and turn off into nowhere, down a dirt road and come to a little farm house full of kids, relatives, chickens, pigs, goats and mud. They got a big feast waiting for us, consisting of rice and dried fish,fish soup. The farm house sits on about a hectare of land (2 1/2 acres roughly) lots of chickens and a few pigs which I guess I own, or rather my wife does. We are here to conduct business, pick up our profits from the rice harvest and invest in Maize, or corn as corn based fuel is the newest thing in the Phils. Now all this has to be done with cash which is a pain in the ass as nobody here has a bank account, the bank dont take checks and cant do wire transfers. I mention this as if you are considering doing business this is what you face and not just in the province either. So we wait & head into town to meet so and so with the money (Which he probably buried underground) after selling his harvest a day ago. He takes his time and shows up late of course but the count is right. Now we transfer it to so and so, once again all cash sign a contract at that is it. Simple but it took all day.
Notice I did not go riding around out in boonie land with cash from one to transfer to another, after the deal is done we go check out the corn field we staked, everyone knows we've no cash so why try a hold up? back we go to the farm and settle in for an evening of more Karaoke singing and dried fish. Half the province shows up including the local vice Mayor and the Parish Priest, to gawk and talk with me. I've been here several times, but each time, these folks have a way with making you feel like you're a celebrity.
I sleep on a bamboo floor, my over night bag for a pillow. It is rather cool out a pleasant surprise. Next morning I'm up at dawn and go for a walk in the countryside, I have an army of kids (nephews and cousins mostly) as my personal "bodyguard", breathtaking views and cool dry weather. Back on the bus and head to CDO. More hairpin turns, A little past noon we get off at Agora. Now Mrs SH wants to stay with other relatives in their cramped, dusty and hot "rooming" house. But frankly I've had enough and head for the DYNASTY hotel. I want TV, AC and hot running water.
Now I mention Dynasty hotel but there are others as I've said in CDO that are cheaper and such, the riverview, Southwest Motel and CDO visitors hotel, all udner P1000 all are centrally located for mongering. BUT it is CASH ONLY no credit cards, I wanted to put this on Visa, so you are limited to 3 or 4 places. The Dynasty was full, lawyers convention, so I checked into the VIP
a few block away, they take the card and are pretty decent. Price P1,800
for econo room, but big and roomy the AC works great and they have cable.
To my knowledge the other place is Max Alexander but they are REAL Expensive and dont have much to offer other than a big room and fancy decor.
Shower and shave and ready to flop down on the bed when the "boss" tells me she wants to visit an old GF who just had a baby. Okay, head out near the airport, to the new SM mall and pick up a gift then turn into and exclusive neighborhood of 3 story mansions. This lady married a Korean, built a great looking place and was glad to see her us. We were in the middle of iced tea and a tray of fruit, enjoying the AC when a commotion at the door
broke the setting. In charges a person with all the sensitive grace of a hammerhead shark. She was yelling before the reached the stairs and continued up all 3 flights, startling the baby and pissing off Mom and Mrs SH.
It was the sister of our lady host, lets call her...Mary (as in hell Mary?). I guess her at age 40 or so, floppy belly from two kids (by different fathers) saggy boobs that were once nice. At one time she was attractive, I could see it in her face, but now... I'll say this, she realizes her sister has company and she changes, putting on her professional charm when she sees a foreigner is a guest and she remembers mrs SH whom she hasn;t seen in years. Hell mary calms down and sits gossiping with us, asking a million questions about me, etc. Some I catch, some she ask directly in english, but this nosy bimbo wants to know the value of everything my wife is wearing.
When the Mrs displayed her diamond engagement ring I'm suprised she didn't pull out a jelwers loupe.
Later here's what I get from my wife about Mary, listen up and learn a few things and get reinforcement on a few others. Mary started work in Davao as a GRO, got recruited for some bar in Manila and helped raise her sister and family, putting our host through college, her and Mrs SH were roomates and when Mary returned Mrs SH did baby sitting for her kids while she went to work in the bar. Mary used to come home with leftovers that customers didn't eat and fed it to her kids and everyone else. Sis graduated, worked for awhile, met a nice Korean fellow and got married. Mary got too old to be popular and found work as a Mama san. I understand enough Visayan to catch that Mary asked My wife not to tell me what she did "before".
Mary is also eaten up with jealousy, she is envious of her sister, nice house, nice furnishings, a car and she is Jealous of Mrs SH, who sits there with a "nice" foreigner husband wearing nice jewelry and bragging about a recent Honk Kong trip. So Mary relays a story about how she has an "Online" BF an American who sends her money to go to school, and will be visiting soon, hopefully to get her a fiance visa to the USA. Meanwhile, Mary bums a taxi ride downtown when we return coz "classes are starting at nightschool". We let her off near the VIP hotel. Mrs Spamhog rolls her eyes and clues me to the real deal, according to her friend.
Mary works at one of the local Videoke's as a Mama san, (night school bullshit) She was yelling about some sort of problem with her current boyfriend when she charged into the house earlier. She came in to ask her sister for a loan, for the BF of course. I also learn the BF is a "Macho dancer" at one of the gay clubs in town. Now herein lies the paradox, Mary worked her ass off (literally) humping guys to fed her family and educate her sister, it paid off as sis has a good life, Sis now takes care of her and of course gives her "loans" and has taken Mary and her two kids (Both in their teens now).
She even offered Mary a job at one of her legitimate businesses, but Mary still keeps up with her old habits (she goes for younger men, similar to her former profession) and works in the bars. She brags about a foreigner "pen pal" who gives her money and sends her to school. Sis assures us this guy exists but doesn't send as much as Mary says. Anyhow two things:
One: some chump is sending Mary money to send her to school and take care of her kids until he can get to the Phils to "marry" her. SUCKER!!!!
two: Mary will not change her ways even when offered the opportunity to do so, remember Spamhogs addage:
YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF THE BAR BUT YOU CANT TAKE THE BAR OUT OF THE GIRL.
Later on we decide to go for a stroll at CDO's night cafe, lots of sights and sounds, I listen to a band while sitting at a makeshift outdoor cafe sipping an ice tea. Lots of girlies strolling by, a few are probably freelancers. I notice a few Byots too, also working the crowd BEWARE.
On the way back to the hotel the night has put on her face like a tired hooker, neon and winking lights. I notice the VIP hotel is a block away from the kangaroo bar, Ate M's Videoke (a few girls standing outside trying to lure in customers) and we pass a place with garish green neon sign resembling lips called 'Kiss me' bar or "chu chu", anyway Korean writing on the sign so you can probably guess the rest.
I wanted to hit a few of the clubs like Mojo (ralfs sports bar nearby looked like a good place for some western food and imported beer) and excite disco but Mrs SH was too tired.
I wondered which bar Mary was hosting at?
Mrs SH narrowed it down to two, Bada Bing or Ong Tek, right across the street from each other and a stones throw from Riverview hotel.

Stayed at the Red Coconut 16500 for three days with breakfast. Was tethered to my wife. However, had intesting experience. Got up early (5am), as I always do, and went for a walk. In an area called "D Mall" there is a bar called Isla Bala. Had two babes try to get me to come to their table. The bad news - young filipino guys looking a little under the weather were ordering beer at the bar.
Waling back to my room I was invited to sit with two girls, but, because of marital obligations, declined.
Cucomongas seems like a place where you would finnd action.
Sorry thats all for right now.

The sweeties here with me now, so no time for a big report. I'm in the Bayugan Del Sur area, about 100 kilometers from Butuan City. It"s actually boring here, but I'm making the most of it. Not much to do. Go to the restaurant for a bite to eat, jog around the rotunda, and walk to the palengke.
Doesn't look like me and the honeys gonna hit the bed at all. Not many options for a place to screw here. Mom and the relatives are at grannie's. The family's house, on Water District (? ), has become off limits. The neighbors are gossiping and dad's worried, so we haven't been there since a week or so. The last resort is the lodging house. Dream on! It's never gonna happen. Who's gonna see us walking in or out. Wow. If dad got word we were there, we'd both wind up dead.
My sweetie has already told me that the ring comes first before her pants come off. Oh well, too bad. My fiance in Bislig gets the ring. Will head to Cagayan soon before I go back to Davao and then back to Canada. Sorry for the mis spellings and whatever else doesn't sound right. Have to hurry. Later. TC

How did you find the women there, P4P and/or otherwise? Any observations on this town? Did you get to Valencia too?
Malaybalay
Getting there from Cagayan de Oro
Agora Bus terminal (there is another terminal for busses going other directions) has busses going South to Davao. There are parking spots for the busses, with signboards announcing their destinations. There are air-conditioned busses and standard (no air con) busses. If you have luggage, the guard or conductor will take them and lock them in the compartment. Busses depart regularly and all night. Departure times may vary between every 10-30 minutes depending on time of day. The conductor will come by and hand you a ticket, tell him your destination. Later he comes by and collects the fare. It’s P 105 to Malaybalay on the air-con bus. It’s not like in the old days, where you might ride with chickens. The air-con busses are sometimes too cold. While riding consider that the words “bus plunge Philippines” occurs 105,000 times in a search on Google.com. The red beans you see drying in the sun is coffee.

Mr. SH -
As always, I found your latest reports very interesting and entertaining.
One thing I find interesting: you mention all the "problem people" at the port in CDO. I did not experience this in either Ozamis or Cebu. The only guys who got a bit "excited" at seeing me were some taxi drivers in Cebu, but my girlfriend dealt with them. Maybe she was glaring at them, but even the porters were laid-back.
In Ozamis I was mostly ignored.

I can't speak for Ozamis, never having been there, but one thing I have noticed regarding Cebu, Davao, Butuan, Surigao and CDO, all of these ports' ingress and egress are set up differently, I think the problem in CDO is where you exit is so close to the road (Public space) where all the jeepneys & taxi's stop, you have to walk down some steps and it is tailor made for people to crowd in on you, also regarding Cebu the place has better security and is HEAVILY policed, many plainclothesmen in the crowd watching the "problem people". I NEVER had a problem in CDO (or anywhere else) other than people bum rushing you trying to get you into their cab, but the potential is there I added that so the brethern would be aware and take precautions.
