Angeles City

Lads,

Talked to a bar manager friend of mine. It is indeed a troubled time. Apparently the no Barfine rule is being enforced in most of the bars, (If they know you, they are apparently doing the old, buy ten lady drink trick, fine if you are known, fucked (and not literaly) if your not) No one seems to know why the latest bug up the ass, but by all apperance, looks more serious then previous clean-up efforts. Two more bars (perimeter road) where shut down last night, bringing the total now to five bar closures, of which two are now open. I am going to take a wait and see on this, I have a trip booked in late mid Feb. I am not a doomsayer, but I may seriosuly consider Thailand instead.

X-Man, please do not concuss my slight hope that things in Balibago will calm down! :) I am namely pretty much worried that a lot of girls there are getting jobless soon! Holy smoke, what a poor employment policy this country has! :)

Ekspat, keep us informed about the recent development, ok!?

I know this is counter productive to the purpose of this site (sharing information) but I recommend not posting which bars are allowing barfines and/or EWRs. You don't know who else is lurking or investigating for such information.

Think of it like this, if you are not there it does you no good to know what bars are allowing or not allowing. If you are there or going to be there you will find out when you are on the ground.

My trip starts very soon and am eager to find out what is what when I get there.

Mugroso,

I like your idea of telling specific bars. Many guys pm me regarding my pics asking exact locations. I never give the girl's location, I will post pics of my adventures but finding the girls afterwards is up to you. You never know whos lurking.

Ciao!

I also have a trip in February, I'll update you all then.
Since Thailand isn't an option for me, I simply don't like the Thais, and if AC really deteriorates,
then forget about it, and my focus is more towards Indonesia then.
Jakarta, Surabaya, Bintan etc are excellent fun-places as well!

Cheers!

Btw, how about the bars with ST-room attached?
Any disruptions?

Cheers!

Thanks kidgib9,
just one sentence out of the article.....

[i]"Pineda believed that, probably, the series of raids on alleged prostitution fronts is mainly aimed to force the establishments to pay P50 daily per entertainer as "protection money" by some persons closely connected with City Hall."[/i]

Not too bad, with estimated 3,000 girls in AC it's 150,000 per day.

Seems there will be another price hike in BF and our drinks pretty soon, when it's true.

Cheers!

Mugroso[/QUOTE]I have been in AC for the past 5 weeks. I did not hear of any bars not allowing bar fines. In fact, the bars want the customers to B/F the girls as this increases the revenue for the bar.

Where did you get this information from?

Thats a nice thought but I don't think it matters at this point because every bar will eventually be visited by the authorities and forced to comply. Hopefully by the time you get there, the apropriate payola will have been established and business returned to normal.

Naming bars and the activities that go on in them could be dangerous for the operators of the bar.

I know I can get some great info here, but so can govt officials, police, and religious zealots. If I'm not mistaken, the operator of this site has had to deal with numerous hack attempts by people who want to shut down this web site because of it's controversial content.

Be careful about providing information that is too specific. Also, bar owners/managers read this site. So if you write Ms. Lyn from xyz bar gave me her phone number and we met after work - no bar fine...you maybe causing her a problem.

If that's the case, the bars would probably lower the number of women working in the bars, because many are just filler to make their bars seem lively and stocked. It probably wouldn't be worth paying the extra 50 pesos to keep a lot of the women on. I don't think a lot of the bars would be able to survive something like that as the costs are high and the place would not be able to entertain as well reducing the punters coming at the same time. There are just not enough good looking women in AC for them to sustain imho if there is any validity to the demand printed above.

Hmmm. I do not think the extra 50 peso would have any affect on a decision of me not going to AC.

I've read that the station commander for the police station covering the bars was replaced last night. Don't know if it's true, but the source is pretty reliable.

[QUOTE=E 7789]Would a pre-nup before marraige be effective or would there be loop holes a judge would use to break an agreement. Seems to me you could offer any profits made after your date of marraige to be split if you divorce.

If you were to marry would you be better off marrying here or in the Phils?
Not from a how quick can she get here but from a where would a foreigner get a fair deal if divorcing point of view.[/QUOTE]

The abogado (lawyer) tells the court the girl didn't understand it and if there is a big age difference they will make an example of you stating she was forced to sign it to escape her horrible economic situation complete with pics of the hovel the family lives in out in de probeense. If you are the same age and she ain't too poor you might have a chance.
